What Is The Dumbest Name Youve Ever Heard Someone Give Their Child?: 112 Times People Proved That Not Everyone Should Be A Parent

“What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” While that was a kind sentiment for Romeo to express about Juliet, I’m not quite sure he would have felt the same way if her name was Moronica or Sh’miracle...

One curious Reddit user recently asked others to share the dumbest names they have ever heard parents give their children, and people did not disappoint in the responses. Below, you’ll find a wide variety of names that prove that not everyone should become a parent, so enjoy scrolling through and counting your blessings if you have a common name!

#1

Felonie. I’ve been downvoted a lot on Reddit for sharing this because people never believe it’s a real name someone would give a kid. But it is lol

I do contract-based IT work. Implementation when hospitals buy each other out, stuff like that. Last week I was working with an office manager named MORONICA.

To learn more about how this conversation started in the first place, we reached out to Reddit user Corollo_Bro_91, who posed the question, "What is the dumbest name you've ever heard someone give their child?" Lucky for us, he was happy to have a chat with Bored Panda.

"I decided to ask the question after hearing about some of the silly names my mother was telling me about that she heard from clients at her job," he shared. "My mother took a claim from a client who named her son and daughter King and Queen Majesty." But that's not the only silly name the OP has heard before. "My girlfriend told me her boss just had a baby and is going to name it Iam Magic," he added.

#3

Kerosene. And she would always add “like the gas”. Mom was young and goth.

#5

As far as where these names come from, Corollo_Bro_91 says, "I think parents name their kids silly things because they want them to have 'unique' names to be different, but in the end, they just come across as dumb."

We also asked the OP what he advises parents think about before naming their children. "I think parents need to consider how naming their child could affect their social or school life. I've known some people who were bullied horrendously at school for having strange names," he shared.

#6

Sh’miracle.

And when it comes to what Corollo_Bro_91 thought about the replies to his post, he told Bored Panda, "Some of the answers I got were extremely saddening. I really hope those kids can get through childhood without being made fun of."

#17

Slinky...the parents both loved slinky toys, could do all kinds of things with them, so that's what they named their little girl. It was her real name, my sister was her teacher. There should be a law against stupid parents like this.

#21

Spatula.

Edit to add: this was told to me by an ex-brother-in-law, who worked in a hospital. He overheard a woman chasing her child down the hallway, saying "Spatula! I have two words for you: Be have!"

It was pronounced "bee hāve", as if behave were two words.

The birth certificate over two feet long. The girl's mom named her that just so she could get in the Guinness Book of World Records and get famous. I guess it worked because she has been interviewed on Oprah with her daughter and was semi well known for a while. Supposedly her daughter went and got her name legally changed as soon as she turned 18.

Drake is alive and well, now 18 years old, parents quit the meth years ago, kinda still a messed up family.
