The Difference Between Unique and Just Plain Mean
When an expectant parent finds out that they will be having a little bundle of joy in the near future, a plethora of thoughts and ideas run through their mind. One of which is what will they name the baby, will it be a boy or a girl, and most importantly will the baby be healthy. These are all important questions that weigh on an expectant parents mind.I always found the task of selecting a name for a child was an exciting and fun challenge. You are responsible for choosing a name that your child will carry with them for the rest of their life. The name has to demonstrate the character of the child and fit their personality as well as flow with the middle name that is selected for the child and the last name of the child. The true challenge is when you have to mutually agree on a name with your significant other. As an expectant parent you may already have a predisposed idea of what you would like to name your child, but when you suggest the name to the other parent you sometimes will find that they dislike the name or they have a completely different idea when it comes to name selection, thus the compromise begins.
What completely astounds me is some of the names some parents have chosen for their children. Some of the name choices can be down right cruel. Do these parents realize that these children have to live with this name for the rest of their life? I understand the idea of wanting to have a name that is not the same as everyone else's and one that is unique and different, but when does unique and different become too much? These are the top ten boy and girl names I have come up with that I would consider the worst baby names ever. Most of these names were chosen by celebrities, but I am sure are copied by many in order to emulate their hero's of the entertainment world, but what do they children ended up sacrificing in the name of vanity?
Boy names:
1) Banjo - Would you believe this is the name of a celebrity's child, go figure! This is a child, not a piece of musical equipment, what next, Tuba?

- One of the more unfortunate names I've heard of was a man in China that was named after the fine his father had to pay for having had a second child. He changed it as an adult.

Whoever wrote this article is crazy. Many of those names aren't that bad. Some of them are crazier than others but most of those are children of very famous people. Trust me, little Jermagesty Jackson isn't gonna take anyone's crap. Now if John Smith down the street named his kid Jermagesty the kid would get his ass kicked. Seriously you have to take into context who the parents are and what their lifestyle is like. I'm sure Dweezle and Moon Unit were welcomed names on tour with father Frank Zappa or in artsy southern California were they likely grew up. The only name on that list that I find truly offensive is Meconium. I'm surprised any legal system would let you name your kid after feces. If you are boring and average then give your kid a boring average name. If you're not, then go crazy. Chances are the kid will be like you. If not then they can change their name when they become adults and until then they can take a nickname.

Musician Frank Zappa (died 1993) named his son Dweezil and his daughter Moon Unit. And don't forget Penn Jillette's daughter, Moxie Crimefighter. And wasn't there someone who named his kid Stereophonic?
Give me a break already. They might as well name their kids "Kick My Ass" and be done with it.
