The worst baby names ever?

Filed under: Ages 0-1 — Tags: , — Amy @ 6:11 pm

The U.S. Census Bureau has documented thousands of crazy names that parents have given their children over the years. Two guys at Ancestry.com compiled the worst of the worst.

Considering that baby naming is an actual business nowadays for people – yes, there are actual baby name consultants who make an actual living – and many parents spend hours and hours and hours picking the perfect name, there really is no reason why any baby should be known as Tiny Hooker or Harry Pitts. Other awful names that have been registered with the U.S. Census Bureau include these charmers:

  • Fever Bender
  • Emma Royd
  • Lust Garten
  • Dinner Ware
  • Bread White
  • Mayo Head
  • Doctor Love
  • Gamble Moore
  • Maya Buttreeks
  • Hugh Jass
  • Ivana Tinkle
  • Audio Science
  • Moxie Crimefighter
  • Clover Field
  • Beef Cooper

Being a kid is tough enough. Being a kid with the name Cook Cook (yep, it’s a registered name) is just not right.
