    • Vishap, on 10/12/2007, -22/+9People are just jealous because that's one kid who'll be able to say "I'm Special!" and have it actually be true.
    • SonicAD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23@nox327:

      It was probably named after where it was conceived. :/
    • nox327, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20@ nyx210

      I guess it is pronounced "poo-SAY"

      You're not special, you're different, and different is bad...
    • bdavi19, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19A few years ago I was working at my father's law firm. A woman came in one day to file for divorce. During the process I heard her speaking of her children, and one name stood out in particular: "Ash-o-lee". That's how I heard it. It wasn't till later that I saw how this poor child's name was spelled... *****. Some parents must really hate their children.

      Dark ones."

      Is there any other kind?
    • LogicBomB, on 10/12/2007, -8/+32Improper naming should be banned as child abuse. Unless the parents can justify the name, they should be forced to choose something else. Having either a breakfast cereal or a drug reference in your name is hardly sane behavior...

    • Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Whoa. That's one messed up name. However, I still think it's hard to beat this name: (pronounced Shi-TEED) *****. According to the book "Freakonomics", this was the name of one unfortunate black girl. "*****" is easily worse than "*****" (Ash-o-lee).

    • MindTrigger, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18***** that.. I have you all beat.

      I was sitting in the Village Pub in Palm Springs with my wife, and we met a guy named Thundarr (yes, with two Rs like the cartoon). I ***** you not. I called him out and he produced a ligitmate drivers license with the name on it. I think the story was that his dad had some mental issues, and liked to watch cartoons. Get this, he claimed his sister was named She-ra too! I thought it was all a joke, but he's was dead serious. I remember when I first shook his hand and he said his name, I did a double take, and asked "is that Scandinavian?" -lol
    • rlutterb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+43I hope you all realize the intended pronunciation of the first word...

      Urhines = "Your Highness"
    • cawpin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Those are definitely some weird names but I've got a good one too.

      My last name is Allhands. Yes, you say it just like it looks.
    • DevilDogs, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1@bdavi19:

      I've heard of a similar story. My wife knew someone that knew someone (that knew someone) that named their baby *****, at least that's how it was pronounced. How was it spelled? S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D!

      Edit:
      Oops, looks like Berkana has heard of the name too!

      My best friend's dad is named Gaylord Skulhus Fagerland. His wife calls him Gay.
      I met a college kid a couple of years ago name Omni Flux. That's actually kind of a cool name.
      My son's middle name is Xavier. Pronounced ZAH-vee-ay. I call him the X Man for short.
    • asauterChicago, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7My family was visiting some friends in the South once. My daughter was playing with the neighbors kid one evening when we were down there. His name: crispycreme. Yep, pronounced like the donut.

      Only in the south would you name a boy after a deep fried donut. Cute kid, you just wanted to eat him up, ha....

    • VegaObscura3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3^What if its a girl?

      My mother went to school with Ima Hogg. And my grandmother knows a woman who's full first name is 'Gay'. Of course that isn't because of bad parenting, because when she was born it still meant happy/cheerful.
    • 7amWDG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6When I was in the army I met an unfortunate, however stupid, fella who possessed the name of BJ Dick.
      Unfortunate because his parents were probably drunk/stoned/inbred or a combination of all three and lacked the ability to think the name through. At least Homer gave it a shot when he named Bart.

      All cannot be blamed on the parents as BJ Dick chose a career in which he would have the title of "Private" place before his name, he didnt think that through either..

      Private BJ Dick.... you should have become a gay dancer... you parents clearly decided your career when they chose your name.
    • Shuk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I agree. "Precondition Failed" is definitely the worst baby name ever.

      "...and one name stood out in particular: "Ash-o-lee"....this poor child's name was spelled... *****."

      Curiously, I came across the post on Snopes from someone else who has apparently met this same girl. The other post was from 2 years ago:

      http://msgboard.snopes.com/message/ultimatebb.php?/ubb/get_topic/f/1/t/000043/p/1.html#000010

      Was that you who posted that bdavi19?
    • Matri, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Okay, I'm surprised no-one posted this yet: http://bash.org/?515093
    • LilGothCop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ok, Kendall isn't all that bad...it's the rest of the name that makes the mother a crack whore.

      Anyway, wanted to share a couple name stories all of my own. they're not quite as good as some of the stories I've read here...but they're pretty good.

      My grandparents named my uncles Joseph Edward Raymond Kasprowitz....His initials spell J.E.R.K. Now that's mean.

      My father, his name is Len, has an ex-wife named Carol. My mother must have thought of my name (cause it's fairly normal), but Len and Carol named their only daughter Carolen. Is that not really gay? They obviously couldn't think of anything good.

      And lastly, My mom works with a man named Master Bates. If you don't see that one, you're blind.

    • puck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18I'm not sure if this is the best, but the one that was the least expected of my career.

      So I'm working in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). I'm covering a friends patients that day. One name on the chart was Dynasty. I compliment the mother (who was obviously from the hood to be nice) on the name and she said it came out wrong on the hospital labels. The correct name is D-Y-Nasty. I almost fell over!

    • random19, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@mattUSA

      Similar thing happened here, a guy from Denmark came to my martial arts class to train, and we were all introducing ourselves. His name was Torbin, Tor being short for Thor, and Bin being Danish for Bear. So his name meant "Thunder God Bear".

      My name is Lance. And a medievil weapon/cracker company just isn't quite as badass.
    • baghpedersen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Random19

      The danish word for bear is "bjørn", maybe his name was Torbjørn and not Torbin. Torbjørn is a often used name, but I have never heard of Torbin. Oh and yes, by the way, I am from Denmark.
      • tyrannosaur, on 02/07/2008, -0/+0I think Torbin is the English-American corruption of Torbjorn....and yep, my name is Torbin (middle name).
    • MrDarkSim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ MattUSA

      I went to school with a kid named Thor Strong.Poor kid was always getting into fights.His older brother had a messed up name as well.Maximus.

      Parents really need to stop and think before they do ***** like that.

      " Is Roofies Abu Karim Muhammad al-Jamil ibn Nidal ibn Abdulaziz al-Filistini here?"
      "Yes, just call me Al."'

      'abu' means "father of", if I remember correctly. Then again, the demographic group that tends to follow the unfortunate naming pattern we see here does tend to have a lot of young fathers.
    • Misesean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If I can call you Betty, you can call me Al.
    • tcquad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@tippmann1

      Name them after STDs? That's just cruel. You can make them uncomfortable, but at least make an attempt to make the names appropriate. For instance, you (substitute your last name for "Smith") could have Trojan Broke Smith, Durex Rip Smith, Magnum Felloff Smith, Rhythm Method Smith, Nocondom Birthdaysex Smith...

    • Rikka, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Not as bad as some kid in middle school who was called down to the office on the intercom. The secretary couldn't pronounce his name properly; i guess it was "a-noose" guess what she said? "anus".
    • cheekdog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2maybe that's a southern thang because my mom taught in south mississippi bout 20 years ago and had a lemonjello and orangello. also had a harley davidson in her class. poor kid didn't even look like he belonged on a bicycle.

    • ophilye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Evidently, my sister-in-law (*cringe*) had a couple of kids whose fathers she didn't want the state to find out about... so she gave them the last names of "Barneythedino" and "Yuckamuck"*...

      They've had to go through all of school with these last names, as the mom was thrown in jail once they were old enough to realize how ridiculous they were, and is not coherent enough to let them change it.

      Why can't we make parenting classes mandatory? Pretty please?

      * names changed just slightly, but still in the same vein, to protect the innocent kids

    • sngx1275, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Visiting the digg main page is damn near worthless anymore. If you don't catch a story until its on the front page there is a pretty low chance you are going to be able to read it.
    • spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36Because 50 diggs doesn't mean 50 visitors
    • tarmithius, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4The amount of diggs does not correlate with the amount of visitors the site receives. Usually the latter is quite a bit more, but you do not see that since a lot of people visiting the site do not digg it.
    • lewikee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2To be fair to Silthrim, he didn't say 50 diggs = 50 visitors. You could roughly find a ratio of digg/visitor and estimate how many visitors went to the page from that.
    • jermscentral, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It was on Fark before it hit the Digg front page.

  • pubman5001, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23A friend of mine worked in a hospital in Camden,NJ where a new born was blessed with the name Ya'Majesty , yup that's right she even get the apostrophe in there!
    • noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Who was the comedian.... she was doing a joke about one of her neices names it was Amunike (I'm unique) or something like that. Anyone know where this naming trend started by the way?

      Is it jsut because all the crackbabies are at child-bearign age or is it because hasbeen stars rape their kids futures to get some press?
    • MaxPayne3476, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I teach swimming lessons at a camp over the summer and there was a girl in my group named Huenos. I thought it was pronounce (Ha-way-nos) but it turned out when the mom came for parent night it was pronounced (who-knows). I've never laughed so hard in my life.
  • superpotential, on 10/12/2007, -23/+1http://diggmirror.com/
  • an0nim0us, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40Sounds like a statement: Your Highness, Kendall Icy, ate Special K.
    • dolemite5005, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I think that's the whole point...
    • scispaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Or: Your Highness, Kendall, I see ate Special K.

      That mother must have had some great pain meds.
    • prockcore, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Oh, that was supposed to be "your highness"? I thought it was urine.

  • mattlukacs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24they shouldn't be giving Madonna and Gweneth Paltrow ideas.
  • jhuggart, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2That's terrible. Previously, the worst baby name I had heard was Trudy Bell, but Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K beats the hell out of that.

    Did anyone else notice that the original date for the article in the lonestar times is 4/20? I wonder if that had anything to do with deciding on the worst baby name ever.
    • jhuggart, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Nevermind the 4/20 comment. I just looked at her birthdate.
    • Misesean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remember a name from the credits on a Jackie Chan film (don't remember which): Hao Er Yu (not sure of the exact spelling...guess the "real" spelling is in Hanzi anyway).
  • subarumaniac, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3it's still better than naming your kid 'Apple'
    • EComni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I'll never get this. I've personally known at least two girls named "Peaches" so I never understood how "Apple" is bad. Just seems like something tabloids latched a hold of and people just ate it up.

      We name people after flowers, what's wrong with fruit?
    • naldwell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"We name people after flowers, what's wrong with fruit?"

      I don't where you live, but in most high schools that would be begging for trouble.
  • DarkPrincess74, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Kendall is a cool name but not the rest.

    This makes me think of that saturday night live skit with nicholas cage where his name was asswipe but he told people it was as-weep-A
    • g30ph, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Joe Dirt told people it was Joe Deertay.
  • mihan77, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I'd have to nominate Nicholas Cage's child, Kel-el, after Superman's original Krypton name.
    • lunchbox12682, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Well considering he got the Cage part from Luke Cage of Marvel Comics, it's not surprising.
    • ibilenjkij, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now he should change his own name to 'The Father of Kal-El' .......
  • mogdor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I never cease to be amazed at how stupid some people are.

  • BigPapi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20I used to work with a guy named James T. Kirk. I never bothered to ask if it was his birth name because he was 6 foot 3 and always looked pissed off. Though he never went by "Jim Kirk" or "James Kirk". Always James T. Kirk.
    • oddmanout, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Why should he be the one to change his name? that no talent ass clown.

  • cptnjack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10An Indian friend of mine was called "Anal". He convinced me that the name meant something good in Hindi. But it was always funny to see how hard he tried to make it sound good to customer service reps in US. He may be very relieved now, since all the call centers are in India.
    • destinywaste, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The name is probably spelt Anil. One embarrassing Indian name I heard of was hardik ... which in the western world would be pronounced as 'hard dick'
    • gid13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9In London, Ont, Canada, there's a dentist named B.J. Hardick.

  • glasnostic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7We had an outside contractor by the name of Ufuk Peker

    but thats Turkish
    • wyrdness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I can believe that. Those turks have some crazy names. I had a job a few years ago where we had a database of company reports. There was a turkish company called Arcelik. But the icing on the cake was the name of their parent company - Koc Holding. I told my (now ex) girlfriend and asked her if she'd like a job as an Arcelikker. She replied that she'd prefer a Koc Holding job.

      Absolutely true - Google for 'Arcelik' and 'Koc Holding'.
    • Misesean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The guy that put the windows in my house is named Michael Hunt.
  • SatNav, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6there's currently a facebook group called something like 'Once this group has 100,000 members my fiance will let me call our second son Spiderman'.

    it currently has over 80,000 members, and if you refresh the page every few seconds you can actually see the numbers go up: terrifying if true, but I have my doubts about that.
  • tkalus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I remember an article in Surfer Magazine from a few years ago where a couple from Australia chose to name what they thought would be a baby boy after one of their favorite surf spots. Turns out, they had a girl instead. Unfortunately they decided to stick with the name anyway... Monster Hole.
  • MemeWarrior, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7At least it wasn't some douche bag actor who names his kid Kal-El.
  • mesoed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6My wife's aunt is a labor and delivery nurse and has stories. One that wanted to name their daughter *****. One that was convinced that the hospital had named her daughter Female.

    Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
    • pgiessel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4My mom is a pediatric nurse, and she had a mother bring in a daughter named "Female" (pronounced Fe mali). People really do think their daughter is named by the hospital "Female"...
  • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7My brother was cutting the hair of a nurse who was telling a story of an emergency room baby named *****. Yes, *****, s-h-i-t-h-e-a-d. When she called his name, his mother snapped, head-bobbed and said: "It's pronounced shi-THEED"

    True story. I'm serious.
    • Icy8SpecialK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah and so are the other twenty people who said the same thing in this same thread.
    • EComni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6There was a woman in my town with the same name. ***** Jones. It was in the phonebook. She got lots of calls about it. I believe she was African, and that just might be a somewhat common name.
    • jowille, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0my wife used to baby sit a kid who's real name was *****! It was pronounced *****-eed! Too funny! I used to crack up every time they called his name, because I just kept thinking *****..... and race didn't play a part in it because the parents were caucasian....... one step up from the trailer park.....
  • NiteCoder, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2My high school had twin black guys named Lemonjello and Orangello, but they emphasized the second syllable (ie... le-MON gelo) ...

    But they were small guys, so we called them Lemon Jello and Orange Jello.
    • ra3ndy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No it didn't, no they didn't, and no you didn't.

      If this were, true, then it would only validate the apparent epedemic of twins named after the same two food products.

  • klmonson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I wish I was making this up ... I was standing behind a woman at the DMV, her name was Female, she had to explain to the clerk it was pronounced Fee Molly.

    I can only imagine her parent's dismay that the hospital already named their baby when she was brought into the room.

    "Female Smith? Oh gosh, I was really hoping for a Heather or a Julie. Oh well, she already has a first name so I guess we are stuck with it"

  • channelx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I'm gonna name my kid Stone Cadillac Icy Eight Special K, now that's a Man's name!
