Society & Culture Terrible baby names

Jack son of SOS?

Maybe didn't think of it like that

I met a 17 year old named 'Shaquille'

He is also white.

Friend just name their boy Zi Zi. With the last name it sort of sounds cool but trying to be cool isn't what naming about a child should be about.

Think of the child not your ego.

One of my Facebook friends liked a photo of someone's newborn announcement and the kids name was Flex

The quicker we implement a list of pre-approved names the better

Friend name his girl Tarquin-Ray. I should not have replied with "why" when he told me.

I had a friend respond the same way when I told him I'd bought a house...

Hopefully with either Polish or Hungarian roots.

I'm very disappointed in Nick Riewoldt, called his kids James and William. What was he thinking?

Yeah I looked up the name and saw it was Polish. I think they just liked the Z though to be honest.

Not exactly terrible, but came across someone called 'Olympia' today. Rare and unusual. Also not sure how I'd feel about being named after a mountain/the Olympic Games/the place where the Olympics were first held.

Unbelievable, the poor kids will forever have to spell out their names for people. He should have gone with the traditional Jaymz and Will.I.Am.

Pretty sure that there's an actress that's been on HYBPA before with the same name - might be from Neighbours?

Olympia Valance, Holly Valance's younger sister.

Did google. The person I saw was probably about the same age, so not named after her or anything. Maybe it was a fad name in the early 90s?

Good thing google has a search by image feature Her brother is called Apollo

Like I said, it's not terrible. But it is kind of unusual... not sure I'd want it for myself.


Here's another rare and unusual name: Arthurina.

Coolangatta.

Coolangatta.

Was the kid conceived on the flight to the Gold Coast?
