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."

"Why?"- cinnamongreen

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

"It seems purposefully cruel."- bwilson525
NO.

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.
