Every Monday the Tribune-Herald publishes a list of babies that were born in Hawaii County over the previous week. Given that parents these days seem to have some sort of disease that turns the name-choosing part of their brain to mush, the list is usually a source of unintentional entertainment.
Yesterday’s paper was no exception, yielding two choice names. Yes, there were two horribly bad names that there wasn’t a clear winner.
The first: Dicetin.
I swear that this is true. Dicetin. That’s not a name, it’s what D&D players carry their d20s around in. It’s not even a bastardization of a name, like another entry in the list, Madisyn (which isn’t the second Bad Baby Name of the Week, amazingly). What’s next, someone’s going to name their kid Toaster? Or Toastyr? Christ.
The second Bad Baby Name of the Week: Alextacy.
I can’t remember if this was a boy’s name or a girl’s name. In either case it shouldn’t have been a name at all because it’s just imbecilic I’m going to bet that the parents’ names are Alex and Extacy and they thought it would be cute to merge their names together to get the name of their precious baby. Well guess what clueheads, it’s not cute, it’s idiotic.
I suppose that Alice and I are going to have to name our kids Bralice (or maybe Bralyce) and Alad. And right after that you all can line up to smack both of us in the face.

Yes. We will dropkick you, steal your child, and rename it Fred.
Especially if it’s a girl.

Just as long as you don’t name it something silly like Amy. *ducks*

Yeah, I mean, look at the dire consequences of THAT.
(And the Fred thing was an Angel reference…which I suddenly realized you might not have gotten.)
