    Default The worst kids names you've ever heard?

    A guy on my social media feed just named his child Joff. I'm stunned. Who would look at a child and think, I think he's a Joff!

    Creek, this lady had two more normalish water names of kids, Brook and River. But the third was just Creek.

    There was a kid actually named Duck.

    Rowdy is a popular name here too.

    i'm sure i'll think of more. They have some stupid names around here for kids.

    I've met/worked with a Philistine (no, really). Her parents liked the way it sounded.

    When I taught martial arts years ago, I taught a sister and brother. They were named Chyna and Blade (no, seriously). Good names if you want your kids to be professional wrestlers? Not going to lie, it's cool in a ridiculous way.

    It gets weird here when people try to be fancy by giving their kids English names because, you know, they heard it on TV so it's fancy. It's all well and good if we're still talking about fairly international names, but a popular choice is Jessica. And it sounds completely different in Polish, and not in a good way. Some people even Polishify the spelling, creating DŹESIKA

    Also, knew a woman who had two kids - one was named Gracjan, a very obscure but also very old and traditional Polish name, while the other was Kevin. And no, Kevin is not one of those universal names. I think someone needs to learn about the benefits of sticking to a theme

    When they have a normal common name like Kate, but changed to be "fancy " and "unique " to " stand out "; like Kate is now " KatVIII " or " Kayate " or " Ca8 " or something like that. Just, no. Stop.

    If you want to be unique, just find a old fashioned name that hasn't been used in a while and is rare now or something. Call her Opaline or something, instead of " Danyieeell " for that poor Danielle.

    I had a long list of names where the given and the family name make up an inappropriate word or phrase (insomuch as it may apply to the English language), also the initials BJ and the name Jetta Night.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I once upset an old girlfriend by saying that if we ever got around to having kids we should just name the kid Telephone. Okay, so this was a LONG time ago when I said this (and technology was in a different place), so the logic was that all you have to do is say one word when someone calls for the hypothetical kid. She said I was lazy. I said that we would cumulatively save a bunch of time.
