Sometimes on those pregnancy message boards I’ll come across a thread that makes me want to tell the posters how stupid they are. Some of these threads have to do with baby names, specifically stupid ones or classic names spelled incorrectly. If you really, really like the name Kaiser go ahead, but chances are he’ll be saluted with “Heil Hitler” at recess. And if you want to name your kid Britni or Mykel do, but I can assure you that people, especially your kid’s teachers, will initially think you and your kids are dumb if the name is spelled wrong on purpose.

I don’t know why I keep going back to those message boards but I do. If I see one more Emersen Elyse or shit like that I don’t know what I’ll do.
And don’t even get me started on the freaky “baby dust” “stick baby stick” and “angel baby” BLINKIE bullshit. Dear god, they are horrifying.

If I have a kid, I’m gonna name him Gabriel Clarence Clearwater Revival Young.
He’ll be the coolest kid ever.

Without doubt, the worst name I’ve ever run across is a woman named Aquanetta. Why? Why? Why would you do that to your kid? It’s just evil.

amen.
What’s up with naming kids after cars? or champagne? I shit you not, kids named Corolla and Christal (is that spelled right? it’s pronounced like the stuff rappers drink) abound.

I wanna name my baby “Octagon.” But my baby’s momma won’t let me. She wanna name our baby “Billiy” after her daddy, “Billiam.” I can’t show my anger too mad because my baby’s momma good looking. She got a fine gap between her front two teeths.

you know, even if you do give your baby a decent name, they can always change it later themselves to somethig like Chantal Boom’La or DeDe Troit (which are real people I’m cutting paychecks to right now)
