While not the worst, a friend of mine who worked an appointment desk once came home and announced "I just made appointments for three people named Unique today"

Perhaps not the worst, but I've had it with anything that rhymes with Aiden

I always think of Braxton Hicks. Lol You named your child after uterine contractions (false labour)?!

Ask Elon, he tries to come up with a worse one for each child.

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.org 17 points 2 days ago

Speaking of which: Elon

I was doing payroll recently for my work, and came across Harsh Harsh. I had to ask our HR lady, really? His last name was Harsh and his parents named him Harsh?

Well, no. She said his name was simply Harsh but our system required a last name so she repeated it.

Still, pretty harsh I think.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Woulda made them set my first name as "Just" so it'd be "Just Harsh" and it should make for some who's on first fun.

Standard names spelled with far too many letters. JeighSynn and Kryssteighnah are not people names they are scientific nomenclature or some shit

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 46 points 3 days ago

Sounds like real tragedeighs right there.

Scholastika. Real name in Slovakia. I have never ever met anyone of that name. I am still waiting for brothers Nihilizmus and Solipsizmus.

[–] kubofhromoslav@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Nice. Possible. But I like to imagine that someone woke up some morning and thought "I am going to name my child based on philosophy" 😎

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

more probably hardcore christians

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 47 points 3 days ago (5 children)

No, there's probably worse baby names than "whats"
