It’s December, which means it’s time for you to vote on the Baddest Baby Name of 2009! There were some real stinkers this year, but these are the ones that stood out:
- First, there’s Rustyn and Rustynn. Naming twins isn’t as hard as it sounds. Sure you have to come up with two names, but how hard is that? Apparently the parents of Rustyn and Rustynn found it extremely difficult.
- When the time came, I didn’t find Chaiden-Aaliyah to be that bad, but like a box of wine, time has turned this name to vinegar. Here’s what Chad had to say about it:
Chaiden? Seriously? And then to ram that up against the double-monstrosity of “Aaliyah” (a double vowel nonsensical spelling of some kind of a onomatopoeia-inspired yelping sound)? That’s gold.
- Ghage Grannite not only has one bad name, she has two!
- U-Me would be fine if it weren’t spelled phonetically. Which it is, so it’s a Bad Baby Name.
- The first offender to use an apostrophe is A’Lycea, and what an offender she is.
- Not to be outdone, Q’ashaani-Ja’de and Q’ayah-Se’dalle not only had apostrophes, they had dashes, they had Qs without Us (although I guess that’s what the apostrophes are for) and they landed themselves a spot on this list!
- Azyn Ryu. ‘Nuff said.
- And rounding out the list is our favourite hormone, Adrenalynn!
There you have it, this year’s shortlist for the 2009 Baddest Baby Name. Vote early and vote often! No seriously, you can vote once a day, so vote often!

I was going to vote for Adrenalynn but I completely forgot about Rustyn and Rustynn.

I’ve also had to go for Rustyn and Rustynn, purely for its efficiency – that’s two kids’ lives ruined for the price of one callous act of parenthood!

They’re all just soooo unfortunate. But I’ve agreed with popular consensus and voted for Rustyn and Rustynn. Oh the humanity! Or is it “Oi, humanity”?…….

Why, o’ why did “U-Me” get not much love? Cruel place is this world.

I immediately discounted Chaiden-Aaliyah, Q’ashaani-Ja’de and Q’ayah-Se’dalle, and Azyn Ryu, since the first three are obviously transliterations of arabic and/or persian names. I’ve no idea what ethnic origin is Azyn Ryu, so I’m assuming it’s a legitimate name. I would have voted for Adrenalynn, which really is a stoopid name, but I thought it just plain cruel to give essentially the same name to two twins.

I would like to vote for Rustyn and Rustynn. Keeping this name is a great suffer moreover one for boy and other for a girl. Poor pretty parents!
