There's a new book out called "Bad Baby Names," which is a definite read if you're an expecting parent.
Some of the shockers are really just bad combinations, for example: Love Gunn, Mary A. Jerk , Willie B. Long, Young Boozer or the ultimate, I.P. Freely (an actual name believe it or not....unlike the Russian Mohel, Ivan Cutyakokov)
Then there are the first name howlers, which includes "crayon"!
Well, it could be worse. I could have named the company, "Lard", "Satan" or "Vaseline" (which were all included in the baby name hall of shame!)

"Adolf" isn't really a good name either.

As someone with a "bad" last name myself and who is expecting, a book like this certainly appeals to me. I must be careful what I name my child! Last name = Dickman. First name = Ivanna?

It all in a name. One of my children’s initials is EZ... A police officer in my town named his kids Anita and Buster. I know that it does not sound bad, but, his last name is Cherry

Don't those parents know it better or do they have a strange sense of humor???
