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.

Cam is also the name of Fraiser's fussy (just like him) neighbor on the tv show Fraisier played by Brian Stokes Mitchell. It is about my favorite episode and it is described at http://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season9/ep19.htm.



You can put a video baby monitor in your son's room and call it the Cam Cam.

Pluto? Ruchbrecht? Melancton?

Those are on MY list...

I once knew a girl named Cleopatria, but Maude and Myrtle are pretty awful.

In Norway, btw, there is a woman named Syphilia Morgenstern... I kid you not...

There's always Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. We have a Winter in the family.

Hey RPL!
If We had had a girl her name would have been "Abigail Jean." too!

I once worked with H. Robert Piles.

The H was for Harry.

He was fairly well adjusted.

My nephews are dating girls...Hillary and Monica. I told them to get new girlfriends.

"...And 'Cody' and 'Madison' are vulgar and snotty at the same time. Even worse: pretentious "unisex" names, such as Taylor/Tyler."

I have some good news and some bad news for you.

The bad news is I have two grandsons named (get ready) Cody and Taylor!

The good news is that I agree with you on the lousy choice of names.

Alright, this thread is way old, but I like reading it from time to time.

How long before there is a slew of girls named Sasha and Malia?

I don't see a bunch of baby boys being named Barack or Obama. But it wouldn't surprise me if they did.
