Oh Bad Baby Names, how you fill my Mondays with joy. Thank you, proud parents of Hawaii, for being such fine examples of morondom. You didn’t disappoint this week!
I mean, how could you possibly be disappointed with Bad Baby Names like Dashley or Kaitlyn? Or Cherish?
The misspellings were in full force this week too! Little Kheerah was born, as was Kaige. Kaige! Even spelled properly it’s a bad name!
Tayven is just a bad name, pure and simple. Izec is strangely bad. It’s a Scrabble name, really. Pull four letters out and let’s make a name out of them! And Jaxx… Unless you’re a fan of Basement Jaxx this name has no place on a birth certificate. Even if you are a fan of Basement Jaxx it has no place on a birth certificate.
The co-winners this week are both bad for different reasons. Hawaii Wolf is just awesome in its badness. Hawaii Wolf! Hawaii Wolf! It’s one of those names that doesn’t get any better the more you say it. Hawaii Wolf! Still bad!
And the second co-winner is EJ.Donmark. That’s how it was spelled, no spaces between the initials and the “second” name, only one period in there. Maybe it’s pronounced “edge-dot-donmark”. Who knows.

I’m not sure how I got here, but this should be required reading for, well, everyone, really, especially people expecting to have children. Brilliant, what you are doing here, I must say.

prepare for shocking news! Oddball first-names are correlated with a life of crime…
“Using regression models, Lee and co-author David Kalist found that regardless of race, the more unique, rare and unpopular the name is, the more likely it popped up in youth crime files 10 to 18 years later.”

I enjoyed reading your blog. I found it using Google to search for a weird baby name my friend told me about. Turned out it was ‘Abcde’.
I’ve got one more for you.
Le-a.
What do you think that is?
Wait for it….
It’s pronounced La-Dash-A. No lie.
