Vanity: Worst Baby Names

11/26/01

Alright, this is a total vanity. I didn't post it under "Breaking News" so relax.

My mother and aunts have been pestering my wife and I about when we are going to have children. Lately, we have taken to coming up with the worst possible names for babies and telling them we are considering names first. Well, they get real upset with some of them and even get angry with us for even considering them.

My mother in law is coming down for Christmas and it is inevitable that when she, my mother, and my aunts get together they will gang up on us about having kids. So, what I need from my fellow FReepers is a good list of really bad baby names to suggest to them as names we are considering. You help and creativity is greatly appreciated.

Oh, the last name is Terwilliger if that helps at all.

So far my favorite is Wolfgang Maxamillion Terwilliger. Imagine filling out a ScanTron bubble sheet with that one! Though, to be honest I really like that name. My wife likes Wolfgang and Maxamillion, just not together. To long she says.

Oh, and please avoid the stereotypical "black names." They wouldnt believe us for a minute if we started suggesting names like Shaneequa (sp?) and others like it.

My wife suggested posting this thread to help us out. I will be emailing her a link when it gets big enough. Thanks.

Yeah, that would be pretty bad. I wouldn't name a dog that! Is that a boy's or girl's name?

'Cody' strikes me as awful, and the excessive use of 'Madison' (pretentious?) of late is starting to get to me as well.

Seamus if its a boy.

Aquanetta if its a girl.

Aquanetta is a real name. She was a parking attendant at the New Orleans Center Parking garage a few years ago. I'll Freepmail you with the facts of the story if you want to know.

My kid's names are Cody and Madison. Cody cheerleads for the junior varsity and Madison is in the gun club. Or is it the other way around? Either way, watch it.

Just kidding. But you see where this thread could get dangerous.

Might recommend staying away from Honus, Skip, Phoenix, Wallace, and Maurice.

Ultan. It's an Irish name, but it's just awful. I knew a guy once with that name, but his dumb parents (who were called Ryan) didn't consider the kids name being called out in the roll book in school. The teacher would just call out the first inital and sirname of all the kids. He got a terrible grilling all through school for U. Ryan.

William Jeferson Terwilliger....Hillary Rodham Terwilliger..

BTW..in Mike Lupica's new book, which is hilarious....a rap star has a pair of Rotweillers named Bill & Hillary...

You can go with Rudolph and say your naming son after Sir Rudy : ))

ROTFL. This is great. I really, really like your style.

What's wrong with Seamus?
