Baby name tag

Earlier this week, I asked a simple question on the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage: "What was the worst baby name your significant other suggested?" There were over 130 responses. 

Today, we are putting the absolute dumbest suggestions to a vote in an old fashioned comment competitionโ€” with prizes, of course!

I culled through the Kal Els (a popular choice), the Mayhems (I like those Allstate commercials too) and the Nimrods (seriously?) and picked what I thought were the top ten funniest responses. I tried to pick names that had a slight ring of legitimacy to them.

For instance, if your last name is Bass and your husband suggested Dum, I'm gonna guess he was joking.

If he was not (I'm talking to you, Amanda), get out of that marriage while you still can.

Ready for the worst of the worst?

"Desmond T Roy so that his nickname could be DesTRoy… he's still pretty keen on this one actually."

"Fifinella which is a female gremlin."

"My husband wanted to name our son Chaos. I said no thanks because I didn't want a self fulfilling prophecy. We settled on Gannon. But after naming him I learned that Gannon was an evil character in the video game he grew up playing (Legend of Zelda)."

"Our last name is Beveridge, (sounds like beverage). My husband wanted to name our oldest son Cole. Ummm, no."

Lauren said…

"Elle Evans…aka Elevens, and then her number in sports could be 11 and life would be perfect! Seriously, I am not making this up."

Stacey said…

"Mohawk and Tomahawk for our twins. He wanted to call them Mo & Tom. Ahem, 'No thank you, dear'."

Jen said…

"Judge. Kind of cool, right? Not when your last name is Laws. Judge Laws. And what if he wants to be an attorney? Attorney Judge Laws. Or better still, Judge Judge laws."

Bethany said…

"Pickle. Pickle Wickham. Not as a nickname, not a middle name. A serious, first name."

Jessica said…

"Oh geez. Well. Our last name is Lloyd. So Floyd Lloyd, Boyd Lloyd, Android Lloyd, Frank Lloyd Wright Lloyd, Christopher Lloyd Lloyd. Avoid the Noid Lloyd. Unimp Lloyd. Every single name conversation we had for both kids ended up this way. We are talking a total of 18 months of this. 18 MONTHS of MY LIFE."

"My husband desperately wanted to call my son Dragon. That is why I had my tubes tied."
