People Shared 50 Ridiculous Baby Names Parents Thought Were Clever But They Weren't At All

With so many names out there, popular and unique, it can get all too overwhelming for parents who are trying to figure out what to name their precious little one. Sherri Suzanne, a professional baby names consultant, reassures parents that if they care enough to stress out about their future child’s name, they are likely not to make a mistake, whatever their choice is. For those parents who need a little extra guidance, she advises them to explore.

“Once you come up with your list of candidates, see how they work in the real world. Lift them off the paper. You want your child to be able to introduce him or herself with confidence.”

“Imagine your kid walking into an important meeting and introducing themselves, then picture the reaction of others,” suggested parenting educator Michael Grose. “Pick a name that will last the test of time and that won’t go out of fashion. Think long-term,” he said. “You get one chance to make a good first impression and a name has a lot to do with that.”
