What is the stupidest name you've ever heard of? I ask this question because i'm so sick and tired of all these women giving these names to their children without even thinking about it. The #1 thing i don't like about this is there are women of my race who think it's cool to give their kids these fake ghetto names. The consequence in the long run is when your kids go in to fill out job application or apply to work in corporate America, they will have a hard time finding employment. For instance, i went to a family reunion about 18 months ago and was surprised when i discovered that i had a 13-year-old cousin named Jodeci! How crazy was that? How are you gonna name your child after a group that hasn't had a hit in years! This is an epidemic that must stop! If you know of anyone with a serious sounding name that is stupid, crazy, or otherwise, please feel free to post your comments here!!

I do have to agree with you, I was blessed with a ghetto name which I'm so ashamed that I can not share, and I hate telling people my name, I always ask my mother, What was you thinking? I want to change my name. I don't have a common ghetto name, in fact I don't think that there is anyone on earth with my name. I don't know what they are thinking, especially celebrities. But you are right there is alot of women of our race that don't think about the fact that the child is going to go through life correcting people about the spelling and pronouncation of there names, and the fact that one day they will be adults trying to suceed in the real world. Little Daquerious is going to be a 40 yr. old man one day. And they don't realize that when applying for a job there's been on more than one occassion that a person with a great resume and a ghetto or hard to pronounce name was passed by or discarded. I personally know a, Cashmere, Donteveious, Sincere, Princess, Godess, Messiah, Quantay, Marquerion, Daijanea, Shawntanaya, Keontay, Tyrinee, Rainbow, Sunshine, Fruit- real first names, I'm not lying!

Right now in the pre school I work at there are two children named Ocean. One is a boy and his is spelled Ocean and then a little girl and her name is spelled O'shun. They sound exactly the same...
I also am not a fan of the name Nevaeh. What annoys me the most about the name is that most people spell it wrong. If they know it is heaven backwards then why is it always spelled Neveah? Ugh...
Last year I had a little girl named Shanayde. They called her either Ashanti or Shay. I love Shay (it's my own name :) ) however I cannot stand Shanayde and then getting her to learn how to spell her name was a nightmare!
And I had a little boy named Randolph. Poor guy...it just doesn't suit a little boy! And we can't forget Larry and Richard too. They are two!
Oh, and then I have Xan. I think that this is a cool name (pronounced Zan) BUT when they are 4 and we are doing the sounds and we say the letters and they get to fill in the word. Trying to explain why it is not "Z says z, z, Zan". So frustrating!
Take Care,
SD

I hear ya. I hate ghetto names myself. If people really can't avoid being ghetto, then at least bump the ghetto name to the middle, so that the child can appear professional on the resume.
The worst name i ever heard of was Ashocke.. pronounced Ah-shock-ay her mom just liked lightening, and was convinced that her baby was conceived during a thunder and lightening storm.... The ultra sad part is that her middle name is Nicole.

I totally agree you. You should have heard the names that parents are suggesting for their kids in here. They are totally ridiculous. Some are spell backwards like Nevaeh, misspell on purpose, and just plain weird. And most of them after the parent misspell it on purpose that it doesn't even pronounce the same as the original name. They just make up the name and pronounce it the way they like. And it is not the correct pronunciation. I don't mind giving your child a unique name, but spell it the way it pronounce! I have a sort of unique and different name Falcon Cresen-Emerson. At least it's not weird and you can pronounce it easily. I like names that are unique, simple, and easy to pronounce. None of that weird long ghetto names.

Nioka. I have a friend who named her baby girl this. What the heck? Sounds like ocra. Jodeci is pretty bad too. If you are looking for some whacked out names, check out some people on yahoo answers? Where do they get this crap? I feel so sorry for their kids.

I totally agree with you!!!! The name I am sick to death of is Destiny. I live in the south, and 3/4 of the kids here are named that. I'm also sick of how people will throw the letters K or T in front of a word and that's the name they stick their kid with.

Orange Tinsley is the one that sticks in my mind. What the heck kind of name is that? Is it a boy or a girl? (It was a boy)
I had a co-worker name her kid Bobbi and her last name was Bobby. Bobbi Bobby(And if he was a girl she was going to name her Holly Hobby Bobby)
I also worked with a guy whose name was William after his father. The problem was, he had 2 older brothers and guess what their names were? William. He had 2 sisters also. Can you guess their names? Billie. Could they be a little more imaginative?

Well my little brother had a kid in his class at school named Orangejello, prounced O-rang-elo, but looks like orange jello. My father in law told me about doing his residency after medical school in a ghetto city hospital, and women named their kids Syphilitis, (sounds like syphilis, the STD) and other things like that.
