29 Worst Names For Boys That Shouldn’t Be Given As Pointed Out By People On This Forum

I have a great uncle who’s full name is LD. Those aren’t his initials. That’s his full name. When he was trying to get a social security card he wrote LD and they sent it back saying no initials. So he wrote “L Only, D Only.” They sent him a card that said “Lonly Donly.”

Well that one guy kinda ruined Adolf

X Ae A-Xii

Knew two twins, Barry and Larry, which was a bit too cliché already. However, after figuring out their full names were Bartholomew and f*****g *Lartholomew*, it was pretty clear the second one was a surprise and they really didn't have a name ready.

Honourable mention for a Dutch couple I knew, Richard and Willianne, who chose to go by D**k & W***y de C**k.

I gotta say Kevin.

Sorry to all Kevins, but as a German married to an Aussie, this name is tough. To my husband it's a completely normal boys' name, and when we discussed names for our firstborn, I had to explain to him that "Kevin" is completely off the charts because in Germany it's used as an insult.

I think I've heard of scientific studies that have proven that teachers expect less from a boy who's called Kevin, compared to other boys' names. Prejudice is strong about that one. There's a couple of others, but Kevin's like the "godfather of unusable names" in Germany.

I worked with a guy named Michael Hunt. He INSISTED we call him Michael. Entertained me to no end.

Teacher here. Jacksons are a******s almost 90% of the time. Don’t get me started on Aiden, Ayden, Aden, Caiden and Brayden etc…

Here in India, kids are named Hardik. Now imagine he goes to an English speaking country and how his name will be pronounced

Met a guy on a dating app named Lamie. Like Jamie but with an L.

Trebor. Not a typo. Apparently this kids dad n grandad where named Robert. So they decided to just name him Robert backwards 🤔

I went to school with somebody named Billiam

Two of the worst real names I've seen - Bushrod and Balzer

Going through a family tree project, I found out my great great uncle was named Hampy.

So.... Hampy.

I have two and I've encountered both in the wild.

Elmo - the guy's full name was "Elmo J. Faggins". His parents are ...I don't even want to think about it. This name was just - mean and cruel. I felt sorry for the guy. I could only imagine how much grief he got in school. Not sure if he is still alive or not. This was many years ago.

Hardass - a kid who was a victim of a mother who used drugs while pregnant with him. Thankfully the boy was removed from her care (if you want to call it care) and adopted by a wonderful couple who live near me. They had his name changed, new ssn and everything to prevent his mom from causing any more harm. That woman is a piece of work.

Any normal name spelled in a "unique" way to help it stand out. Ahmahndah instead of Amanda comes to mind. Unless there's some places with a different culture where this is considered a normal spelling, but if both of your parents are Anglo in heritage, and they chose this as your name, I'm sorry, it doesn't make you seem "unique" and I feel like it will have ramifications when applying for jobs.

My mom knew a kid named Harry Weiner.

The name Jackson is fine but I hate when people spell it Jaxon or Jaxson. It makes me cringe so hard for some reason

Caillou. I hate that kid

My late husband's great uncle's name was Nimrod. Literally on the mf's birth certificate any everything. So. Nimrod.

My friend was a nurse, she said some parent named her kid Laberboi (Lover boy)
