Hello you awesome people,

Friends are having a boy and everyone they know wants to push a name on the child. So I decided to be the best friend they could have and to offer only bad, ugly or horrendous names to the lucky parents so they could have a laugh. I already send them some names and dictators, Smeagol, Steve and Juan-Esteban.

So please, people or Lemmy, give me the worst names you could give a child, so that I can help them as a good friend!

Ps: don't worry, I've already planned some meals to drop off when the gremlin will be there to feed the parents. And some take-out vouchers so they won't get food poisoning

Were I'm from (Quรฉbec), this name is always associate with difficult hyperactive kids. It's like a running joke "This classroom is full of Kevin". One of good friend is a Kevin, he find that quite funny.

The name of a guy that couldn't let go of one girl and was a dick to her innocent kid. Wicked!

Breighdyn

Pronounced bray-den

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I'm upset that I pronounced that correctly without your explanation.

Any very foreign sounding name is a great contender: Ashurbanipal, Nebuchadnezzar, Nabopolassar.

Judas is a good option, too. I think it's even illegal to name your child Judas in Germany.

Any DBZ character works. Trunks in an english speaking country would be spot on.

For a tropical real life villain, Jair Bolsonaro.

๐Ÿ’ฉ. Gotta make sure the middle name is an emoji too, none of this "he can go by his middle name if he doesn't like his first name" nonsense.

Something with emojis is sure to never go out of style:

William Joseph James Robert.

It sounds distinguished until you realize the diminutive is Billy Joe Jim Bob. Which incidentally is really fun to say fast.
