Society & Culture Terrible baby names

Oh I dunno, all the people melting about it like it matters in any real way is mildly entertaining too.

If I was a female I'd be calling my kid Dragons so I can then say I'm Mother of Dragons.

Speaking of GoT names which have come back into vogue- I really liked the name Arya before Game of Thrones - it's one of the few transcultural names which hasn't been used up by my family/friends. I pronounced it Arr (like the pirate) -ya rather than Air-ya though. Now in this post GoT era, I'm not sure if I'd want my future/potential daughter to be named Arya anymore, even if Arya is my favourite character.

I read an article about parents who chose 'Isis' as their daughter's name before the rise of the terrorist group. Unfortunate as it was a beautiful name.

Is that why they changed their name to ISIL?

Sometimes it's just easier for a name change.

The hugely untalented DJ Khaled used to go by "DJ Arab Attack" but changed it roughly on the 12th September 2001.

On the plane back from Perth, family with a young baby behind me. Heard its name. Cringed.

Clementine - but they call her Clemmy for short...

Alanis Morissette just had a baby boy calling it Winter Mercy. Sounds like something out of a video game.

One of my daughters friends is called that. Don't see much wrong with it.

Good solid old fashioned name Clem, a name you can hang your hat on.

Might be different when you know someone with the name. Just seems really old fashioned on a baby haha. Hopefully she will grow into it. Clemmy makes me think clammy/phlegmy.

Omg now I remember who has the name - Clementine Ford!!! I completely forgot.

Plenty of Clementines in France. Quite common name. Also the name for tangerines.

Again very common for women, but never a man's name.

Like my wife liking Millie which is reasonably uncommon in Aus but in the UK is very prominent.
