I missed a couple of names from this week’s bumper crop of Bad Baby Names. They’re bad enough that they warrant a new post.
First, and this is a little boy’s middle name: Knyte-Sky. Why? Why would you do this?
And the next one would be okay if they discovered the hyphen. Which they didn’t, so they had to name their boy Davidalan.

Knyte-Sky could have a bright future in astronomy. Is their first name Darkus ?

Perhaps there’s something we can do that’s a little more constructive?
Maybe we could all get together and found a non-profit organization, with a mission to educate parents on the horrors of bad names. Also, it could be devoted to helping the kids who are living with these names to cope with it as best they can until they can change it.
I propose we name it “The Abcde Foundation” in honour of that special little girl who has to bravely face life every day, knowing that people openly ridicule that most concrete expression of one’s identity: her name.
You all probably think I’m joking. In all honesty I’m quite sure this poor kid will have monstrous therapy bills one day, all due to the vanity of her parents.
