Bad Baby Names: Old and Familiar


I guess I’m over my previous desensitization, because even though I found only two bad baby names in this week’s column, they’re pretty bad.

The first is an old name. Ancient, one might say. In fact, that’s the little boy’s name: Ancient. This one boggles the mind. I can’t think of any good reason why you’d want to name your little boy Ancient. Can anybody help me out here?

And our second Bad Baby Name will be rather familiar to faithful readers. While this name hasn’t come up before, the style will be instantly recognizable. Her name? Paytyn-Madison. Egregious substitution of proper vowels for the letter ‘y’? Check. Double-barrelled? Check. Madison? Check. That’s a bona-fide Bad Baby Name right there!

    LOL, I love the new class: “Madison”. It’s funny because it’s true.
