It’s a bit of a weak crop for this week, but still, I never saw a Bad Baby Name I couldn’t resist sharing. As with most weeks, the letter Y figured prominently. Zadyn, Kamryn, and Braelyn are all offenders. Particularly bad is Jayden-Makaveli. Seriously folks, these parents need to have their heads slapped.
But the winner shockingly doesn’t have a Y in it, although there was ample opportunity. This week the prize for Baddest Baby Name goes to Keviiann. I imagine that her parents’ names were Kevin and Ann, but damn that’s a bad name. The double-I is unexcusable. Even more unexcusable is not turning those Is into Ys. Come on, Kevyyann would be such a great Bad Baby Name!
As a postscript, I was listening to CBC Radio 3‘s podcast yesterday, and one of the artists was a hip-hop artist by the name of Shad, whose actual name is Shadrach Kabango. Tell me that that’s not an awesome name!

I think Kamryn is a variation on Cameron and Jayden-Makaveli’s parents were fans of the political writings of Niccolò Machiavelli.
