Bad Baby Names: Reader Submissions II: Electric Boogaloo


Oh, the Bad Baby Names we have for you this week. Let’s get started!

We start with the bog-standard local Bad Baby Names. Tammylynn is almost boring these days… I think this might be the last of the Rammed Together coupled with Hyllo Y Lyke Ys names.

Jdice, JB, and T-sha are all just plain horrible. Jdice? Come on. Give your head a shake, parents. JB? T-sha? What the hell kind of a name is T-sha? A stupid one, that’s what kind it is. And she (yes, T-sha is a girl’s name) has really stupid parents.

But today’s Bad Baby Name isn’t local, it’s a celebrity Bad Baby Name submitted by Samwise. Celebrities are known for their Bad Baby Names, and it’s usually not fair picking on them because it’s just so easy. But today’s holds a special place in my heart, as it comes from that masterful pop group of the 90s, the Spice Girls.

Little known fact: CanSpice got his name in Arkansas. At a wedding in Arkansas. I have to blame both Amy and Jeff for this — thanks guys! Hope Amy hasn’t discovered the rat poison yet, Jeff! :-)

Like I said, CanSpice comes from a wedding in Arkansas, where they gave me the name “Canada Spice” because I’m from Canada. And I guess I’m the missing Spice Girl.

But CanSpice, you may be thinking, when the hell are you going to get back to the Bad Baby Names? Right now, gentle reader, for Ginger Spice had a baby a little while ago. Mini Spice was recently baptised with the name “Bluebell Madonna”.

    I’ve kept the rat poison to small, manageable doses. He seems to be adapting quite well!

    It still cracks me up that you kept the nickname. That and holy crap, you flew cross-country to see us get married. Hard to believe that was nearly a decade ago.

    (Had to stop and think, didn’t you? Yep! Summer of 1998.)

    While we are on the subject of bad baby spice names, Melanie Brown’s new child is called Angel Iris Murphy Brown …

    “Angel, as she was my little angel through my pregnancy. Iris, as it’s my grandma’s name. Murphy, because he’s the dad. And Brown, because I’m the mum!”

    You see, she sat down and planned how evil that name was going to be.

    A work colleague has called her daughter Jorja after Jorja Fox. Isn’t that just he ugliest looking name ever? Doesn’t it make you think “Why can’t that moron spell Georgia?”. That poor kid.
