This week’s crop of Bad Baby Names pits two teams against each other. First up, Team Lynn, which is made up of Richlynn, Shanlynn, and Maelynn. Three truly bad names right there.
Competing against Team Lynn is Team Hyphen, starring Loryn-Rose, Trina Honey-Lee, Ku`ulei-Nevaeh, Tryson-Francois, and their leader Ryan-Anthony Kimo-Andres.
Which team wins? I think it has to be Team Hyphen, not only for sheer numbers, but because they have a girl named Ku`ulei-Nevaeh, and god knows I hate that name.
Of course, what good would a little team competition be without a traitor to both teams? That’s right, we have little Kira-Lynn being this week’s traitor!
And just when you thought that there couldn’t be any more Bad Baby Names this week, there’s more!
Canaan and Israel were born this week. While not particularly bad names, I thought it was kind of coincidental that they’d both make it into the paper in the same week. To be properly bad names you’d have to throw in a ‘y’ or muck with the spelling. Perhaps K’NAAN and Ysrayl.
Twins Kasadie and Kenadie were also in this week’s list of baby names. They would both be decent names had their parents not completely messed up their spelling. What’s wrong with Cassidy and Kennedy?
Shavanie, Kambree, Lilyanna, and Kayzden are all particularly bad.
But I think this week’s winner has to be Ghage Grannite. Ghage is a bad name, and it would be a bad name even if it were spelled properly. Grannite is a bad name, and it would be a bad name even if it were spelled properly. Put the two of them together and you’ve got one truly Bad Baby Name.

But nothing beats “Hypnotiq”……

Yes, thank you, I know about Hypnotiq. However, I’ve never seen Hypnotiq as a baby name in the Tribune-Herald, which is where I get all of my Bad Baby Names from.
The instant I see Hypnotiq in the Trib you can rest assured I’ll post about it.

@Brad
Actually, that’s where I got it from. It was in the papers a while back. Not too sure how long ago though, but it was either February or January of this year.

Great post. My sister is a teacher and she is always telling us about funny names she comes across in the school system. Funny

I named my little girl “Julia.” Now isn’t that such a beautifully classic, solid name? :) It’ll fit her at any age. “Julia” will still sound good even if she’s in her teens, 30′s or 70′s.

I read somewhere that you should “test” names first before deciding on which one to give your child. Armed with a list of the names you like, wander through the house and yell the first name on the list at least 5 times. Do the same for every name down the list. You’ll find that some names actually sound more ridiculous than others. ;)

Our boys are named Jacob and Miguel. Good, solid names that will serve them well at every stage of their lives.

I never knew that naming a baby could be so tough! My wife is on her 7th month and we have yet to decide on a name for our baby! “Lynn” and hyphenated names are definitely out of the question. So are weirdly spelled names just to make them seem unique. Take “Aerene” and “Jhaneen.” No way.

The things parents do to their kids! I know of a family who named their kids Aerene, Aerielle, Aeron and Aedam. I just think it’s a bit too funny! ;)

And I know of a family with kids named Queenie, Empress, King and Princess. The names aren’t really too strange on their own …but if you put them all in one family, then that’s a different story. :P
