I admit, I was lazy last week and didn’t write a Bad Baby Names post. I did write down the Bad Baby Names, though, and that means it’s a lucky two-week smorgasbord of Bad Baby Names! Let’s go!
Starting off with last week’s, we have Lyric. I guess that’s not really that bad a name.
However, Rhaejah (I assume this is Pidgin for “rager” in the same way that bruddah is pidgen for brother), Mykie (I assume this is Stupid for “Mikey”), and Cheyson (also Stupid for “Jayson”) are all Bad.
I’m not really sure what to make of Kayin or Zayne.
Now last week I had a bit of a conundrum: which Bad Baby Name was to be the big loser? I couldn’t choose between Na`leiyah or Sarenity. Readers, would you like to weigh in?
Topping off the list for this week are the “-en/-yn” gang: Deslyn, Kaylyn, Shaycen, Zaylen, and Xayceten. I have no idea what that last name is supposed to be, other than bad. I think you have to pull your tongue out and stick it in your eye to pronounce it properly, and then you might accidentally summon one of the Outer Gods.
Zaylie is pretty bad. So is Shellsea, which I could have sworn I’ve made fun of before.
However, neither of those is as bad as A’Lycea. I think this qualifies as a crime against apostrophes.

“Zaylen” and “Xayceten” seem suitable as some drug tradenames. (Save my tounge!) Later one sounds like anothe version of “Justin” (Xay-ce-ten).
A’Lycea: a great injustice to a lovely name “Alicia”. Without trying to pronounce it, it seems like a disease on the first blush, much like parv is|seems.
