What's in a name?

When it comes to your first child, or any of your children for that matter, a lot.

It's easy for some, who come to a common agreement fairly instantly.

Of course, after they come to an agreement on what to name their child, they have no way of knowing how their family will feel.

These days, everyone has an opinion on a name.

Even the most traditional names, like Tom and John, Sarah and Lucy might get a yawn, for being too old-fashioned.

Though, when parents get too inventive, people's judgment grows even stronger.


Redditor Birchtree16 was eager to hear the names that made people's jaws hit the floor, leading them to ask:

"What baby name immediately makes you lose all respect for the parents and why?"

Not Nearly Enough Space...

"Any of Nick Cannon's kids' names."

"They are all so over the top bad."

"Moroccan, Monroe, Golden Sagon, Rise Messiah, Powerful Queen, Zion Mixolydian, Zillion Heir, Beautiful Zeppelin, Legendary Love, Onyx Ice Cole and Zen."

"Why?"- cinnamongreen

Why Even Bother?

"Joaux (Joe) is a personal favorite."- Themissrebecca103

This Just seems reckless

"Any name as alcohol. Chardonnay, Tequila, etc."

"Saw those a lot as a teacher."

"Had a male student named Crash Danger."

'Not kidding."- Tanyaschmidt

How Pretentious Can You Get?

"I know someone who named their kid Chozyn."

"The kid wasn’t adopted either."- Stabyouup666

They Will Find Out Eventually

"I used to be on tumblr back in the day of Supernaturals glory, and someone named their poor child 'Destiel'."

"I get it, you like the ship."

"But you have an actual child that is TOTALLY gonna be pissed you named your kid after a fictional relationship on a show about demons and other supernatural things."

"The lack of respect or forethought like?"- Niburu-Illyria

Naming Your Child After You Has Its Risks...

"Youandi."

"It stands for you and i."

"Horrible."- NathalieDV90

Thank Goodness For Nicknames

"Mike but short for Micycle."- BurningHuman

X Marks The Spot...

"All the names with X thrown in the middle or even two."

"Jaxxtley."

"Braxxton."

"Braxley."

"I hate them."- WorkRedditUsername69

Definietely No Chance Of A Complex...

"A guy running for some office near me is named Rocky Rhodes."

"How does one look at their tiny newborn and think 'Rocky! '"

"Looks like a Rocky to me.'"

"And you know how much I love ice cream!'"- nahteviro

"My brother once had clients named Jerry and Mary Derryberry."

"We didn’t believe him so he took a picture of whatever account papers."

"Don’t even remember what his job was at the time, who gives a sh*t."

"But the series of events to have a married couple be named Jerry and Mary Derryberry is just so delicious."- Jibber_Fight

Some Points For Originality?

"Horribly misspelled to seem different."

"The irony is that my boyfriend's name is Krysteffor."- quinnk1n

That's Just Laziness...

"Misspelling of common names to act trendy."- amdpg1976·

' Parents who essentially give their kids the same first name as their last name."

"Robert Roberts, William Williams, etc."

"I know one of each in real life."

"It seems purposefully cruel."- bwilson525

NO.

"Reighfyl, pronounced 'rifle'."- KickNo2069

Or They Were Just Jane The Virgin Fans...

"A girl I know, her name is Baby Sasha."

"She said we can call her baby."

"Her parents were clearly lazy to come up with a proper name."- saltyy_spitoon

It's certainly easy to judge when we hear a name which is, to put it mildly, peculiar.

Though before we rush to judgment, we must consider that unusual as may seem, it could have personal meaning to the family.

Though, anyone who names their child "Reighfyl", regardless of the spelling, definitely deserves to be judged.

Last week, Tianna Graham shoveled out her 2016 Honda Civic and drove out after a snowstorm, took it to work, and parked it in the same spot she’d left it before: next to a water main. By the time she returned, her vehicle was completely encased in ice on the 1000 block of North Front Street in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood.

But that transition can be especially hard when a person feels like they're losing themselves to their role as a mom or dad—and that feeling is made even worse when their partner hyper-fixates on their new role.
