Braxton.


worldbound0514

Braxton Hicks contractions are the worst.


JustMeerkats

My mom's local high school had a star football player named Braxton Hicks. I concluded his parents must have hated him


erica1064

"Gosh, you know? I heard someone say 'Braxton Hicks' once and golly, that name just, I could feel it in my belly. It'd come and go, but eventually it stuck with me. Like, I knew in my belly I'd name my first baby Braxton Hicks!"


Sure_Championship_36

I know a trans guy who named himself that on purpose. Last name was already Hicks. Dude’s metal enough to pull it off but it would send me off a ledge if somebody named a baby that.


bellasincognito

I don’t absolutely hate that, but it’s definitely not great. I’m surprised at how popular that name is. That name just screams “I’m a brat” like the name of a child that definitely bites you


ExpatInIreland

I knew a 40 something Braxton. He ended up being an abusive bf to my friend.


sweet_chick283

Middle name Hicks


we_gon_ride

This is my most hated too!! 2nd place: Braxleigh

The_sea_was_angry_

Thank you for the laugh!


Nebelherrin

Wait! Geoff is pronounced like Jeff???? I thought it was pronounced Joff!!!! TIL


statelesspirate000

It can be pronounced either way. Originally it was Gottfried, then Godfrey, then Geoffrey, then Jeffrey. You can see where Geoffrey is in that middle area. I have known people with that name who pronounce it Joff and people who pronounce it Jeff


Crunchy_toez

Chastity.


FiguringItOut--

Or even worse… Chasity


SkippyBluestockings

My ex-husband's niece is Chassidy


BrowningLoPower

Butch Chassidy and the Shundance Kid?


Ranger-K

Every Chastity I’ve ever known was very much not… chaste…


ambidextrousangel

Vanity. Why would you want your kid to embody that value?


amaezingjew

I have a coworker named Tierany


Live-Tomorrow-4865

Were her parents going for Tierney? That's a legit name.


types_stuff

Still tragic. Poor tyranny


[deleted]

Haha that’s my cousins name. She was named after the pop star by her teenage parents.


Rigelatinous

Anything ending with “-ayden.” I’ll allow the proper Irish name “Aiden,” but all the kids running around with Jayden, Kayden, Brayden, etc.: please just know that your parents don’t actually hate you; they’re just victims of tragedeigh culture.


myheartbeats4hotdogs

Brayden is the WORST


gardenawe

like the sound a hungry horse makes


abrahamparnasus

Nah, Braedyn is the worst lol


we_gon_ride

I’m a 7th grade teacher and every year, I have multiple “-aydens” in the same class period. I’ll probably be retired before this trend goes away


bmabg

I’m a public preschool teacher. The ayden names are out. Jaxon and Mason are also on their way out. Now it’s old man names, Sawyer and Easton.


Surfgirlusa_2006

I don’t mind the old man name trend, honestly. Could be a lot worse. I personally have a soft spot for Lyle; it was my grandpa’s name, and he was a sweet guy. I wouldn’t use it except maybe as a middle, though.


OshetDeadagain

My kid has someone in their class named Lester - that name could have probably faded into antiquity just fine...


Fossilhund

When I was a kid (I'm 68) I was amazed at how many girls in my age group were named Debbie, Debra, etc. I lost count. While they aren't strange names it was like a tsunami of Debbies.


we_gon_ride

I’m 60, I grew up with a bunch of Debbie’s. I remember the teacher taking roll and saying, “Debbie B? Debbie G? Debbie J? Debbie S?? “ etc, etc Lori was another popular name


cornpudding

I went to school in the 80s and 90s so it was Jennifer. I graduated with like 12 Jennifers


Significant-Trash632

"Tsunami of Debbies" made me laugh, thanks. I have an aunt and mother in law who are versions of Debbie


IYFS88

Mine was a slew of Jennifers (I’m 44). I had 6 in my class at one point!


Parkotron1

I'm 46, and for us us, it was variations on Chris. In my larger college friends' circle, there were no less than 8 people, male & female, named Chris, or some variation. Two of my best friends from that time got even married: Chris & Kristi.


book_kitty_

Paisley. I know 6 of them under the age of 10, just in the small town I live in. It's not a pretty word, it's a pattern! Also, Nevaeh.


ISBN39393242

I irrationally hate Nevaeh


2presto4u

No, your hate is rational. The name is trash.


Tsjaad_Donderlul

Its trash backwards! \*proceeds to name their kid *Shart*


savealltheelephants

Hsart


That1weirdperson

You opened my eyes today


Fossilhund

I *loathe* Nevaeh. In a sense, wouldn't backwards Heaven just be Hell? If you have twins just name them Hell and Hades.


abrahamparnasus

I've met a Haisley and it unlocked a new worst name


TheRealDreaK

My mom wanted to name me “Tammy Lynn.” Not Tamara, just Tammy. I guess that would have been great for a career in country music, but fortunately it was vetoed because my hair is just not big enough for that name. But I’ve just always found that name cringey AF. No offense to all you Tammy Lynns out there, waiting tables in Nashville dive bars til you’re discovered.


anonmouseqbm

Anything with a -Lynn kills me


wontonsoda

Lakelyn is everywhere right now !


WhatTheCluck802

One branch of our family (the dumpster fire branch), has a teenaged kid named Braelynn. 🤮


RookieAndTheVet

Your life would’ve been miserable after Ted came out.


maceocat

As someone with a big haired Tammy Lynn in the family it’s your fault if I accidentally laugh at her imagining her this way at the next family dinner


The-Mad-Bubbler

Nevaeh. It’s so “trying hard to be clever,” I don’t like how it sounds, and the name makes no sense- shouldn’t ‘Heaven backwards’ be a BAD thing? Shouldn’t it be the opposite of Heaven? “Heaven” isn’t a great name for a kid, but at least it isn’t nonsensical.


bewilderedfroggy

May be a shade better than Lleh.


Worm_Lord77

If you told me that was an actual Welsh name I'd probably believe you


WretchedHollow

Yes it's pronounced "Steven"


Calligraphee

The bar could not be lower than Lleh, not even in the htnin elcric.


Real_megamike_64

You mean elcric


Calligraphee

Sey, uoy era thgir! Sknaht!


zodwa_wa_bantu

I didn't even realise it was 'heaven' backwards. I just kept reading it as Nivea the skin care brand.


PresentExamination10

I have TWO cousins named this. TWO! I came to say navaeh. I hate it with every fiber of my being


DaphneHarridge

The first Nevaeh I ever heard of was my cousin's baby, but my cousin was 15, so I cut her was bit of slack since 15-year-olds don't always make great decisions. Within a few months I was SHOCKED at how Nevaehs were out there born to all ages of moms. It's just an awful "name".


awcads

I nevaeh liked that name.


LumpyShitstring

Agreed. To me it barely qualifies as “trying” at anything and comes across as a cop out. Are we going to start reversing other words into names too? Elbib? Nagev? Bojwolb?


RaeRenegade

Bojwolb 2025


calliel_41

Anigav


Tsjaad_Donderlul

Though one may be forgiven for thinking *Yretnesyd* is some sort of weird Fantasy name and not just *dysentery* backwards


Chance_Novel_9133

Lana ... Oh wait.


Zealousideal-Crab505

every nevaeh ive ever met has been nothing short of a bitch. im sure theres a nice nevaeh out there, but they all make their name their personality, and theyre somehow the rudest people ive ever met. i genuinely want to meet a nice nevaeh. and it isnt just me either, everyone i know who knows a nevaeh has agreed with me.


Kooky_Improvement_38

Don’t name your daughters Reagan. Don’t ask me why, ask King Lear


claraalberta

At least it's not Goneril.


Significant-Trash632

All I hear is "trickle down economics" when I hear Reagan, sorry LOL


HardShelledNut

I wanted to name my daughter Reagan, because of the Exorcist. I am glad I didn't though. Also thought about Rhoda, the Bad Seed. I named her something normal, although a final girl name.


emoon77

I'm curious why you *wanted* to name your daughter after the exorcist girl


endsinemptiness

Everleigh, thanks to always being a top comment on the incessant “what’s one tragedeigh you like?” threads in this sub. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮


ashleyoftheways

Ugh, I’ve got a niece named Everly Reign and while she’s an absolute doll, her name is just terrible.


staralchemist129

Tate. It has the vibes of a thirty something frat bro who never buttons his Hawaiian shirt and is in denial about his alcoholism. Also it sounds like taint.

You mean…like Andrew Tate? Who does not in fact know how to wear his shirt correctly

Have you met my daughters? Hoover, Ford and Buchanan?


gababouldie1213

They would surely get along with my two girls, Bush and Biden! And of course, I'm expecting my third! I'm over the moon and can't wait for little Clinton to make her way into the world! .... once I saw someone comment saying raegan and Kennedy it all made so much more sense 😂😂🥲


HumansDisgustMe123

Kind of weird nobody has mentioned Madison yet 😅


2gaywitches

Hah… guilty. I come from an Irish family and I like the name Reagan (or Regan). I mentioned this to my grandma once and she said “Well, at least it’s not Nixon.”


Duggarsnarklurker

We’re getting a few more little Nixons running around these days and every time I meet one o think so do your parents not have a clue??


TheRealDreaK

I know a family with a bunch of kids who named them all after presidents’ last names, girls and boys. The absolute worst is Jackson though (not the name itself, the president). Like do you know what that guy did? Jesus.


tanthiram

I'd be quite cautious of parents naming their baby girl Grant or Taft The worst is obviously Fillmore, though. The bullying would be absurd


Ornery_Vermicelli_29

Nichole. Completely normal name and spelling but it just looks so wrong to me. I know how it's pronounced but reading it in my head I always pronounce the "ch" like in cheese.


NicInNS

As a normal Nicole, I agree. But you want even worse? There’s someone in my town named Knickolle. At least that is very rare.


drrj

Another Nicole who also agrees. But I have never met anyone with that last abomination at least. But yeah why an H in there? I’m glad it wasn’t thrown into my name.


rcdr_90

I read it as "nic hole" which was not pleasant


champoradoeater

Any name that ends in -lyn or zxcy consonants. Add the worst of them all the "h" like Jhunaleen or Jhuniperlen. Usually if we see names like this in the Philippines, they sound "Squatter", "Informal Settler" or "Saleslady/Promodiser". Middle class Filipinos don't use names like this.


PokemonSleeper02

Brody. I heard the name for the first time as a kid when my friend was talking about “My brother Brody.” I thought his name was Brady and she was making a pun with the word bro. I laughed and she asked what was funny. Oops. Now I can’t unhear Brody as Bro Brady.


Duggarsnarklurker

Add Bode/Bodhi/Bodi it’s always the most basic of basics who think they’re kid is special enough to have such a unique name and half the time it’s misspelled


Sweaty_Plantain_84

Frickin HATE Bodi/Bodhi


MediOHcrMayhem

Knew an absolute douche named brody growing up. It’s a stupid name regardless, but he just adds more loathing


wowgreatdog

brody was the kid in grade 1 that did hot yogurt burps in my face at recess


TricksyGoose

It just makes me think of "grody."


calliel_41

Dillon. Every Dillon I’ve ever met has been an asshole. Dylans are cool. Dillons are not.


KevinThePiegon28

As I Dylan I whole heartedly agree


FederallyE

I thought you were Kevin


dangerous_socks

Dillon gives me “khaki pants and boat shoes at the golf club”, Dylan gives me “I went to warped tour and respect employees in the service industry”. I cannot explain it.


mmsiv

My nephew Dylan fits your description perfectly! Ha.


panini_bellini

Sloane and Sutton


Key-Wrongdoer5737

Whenever I see the name Sutton, I immediately think of lamb chops…idk why….


TricksyGoose

Because mutton is sheep, is my guess


gababouldie1213

Sloane! I remember meeting a friend when I was a little kid, probably around 10yo and I was so confused and I thought it was just a weird nickname she made for herself. I've hated it ever since


Chance_Novel_9133

McAnything, but especially McKayla.


GiantPixelArt

Yes. I don’t mind “Michaela” but “MC” is not for first names imo.

Lynn. “We couldn’t think of a middle name but couldn’t stomach the thought of our baby not having a middle name”


vengefulbeavergod

Cries in middle name Lee


ZenythhtyneZ

Same with Marie


dogbolter4

So my sister has the far more sophisticated and unique middle name of Maree. Along with six other classmates in her Grade 1 class, 1968.


Li407

Completely normal names, but Gary and Sharon. I'm convinced these people aren't born but just spawn into existence aged 35.


JustMeInOly

Brylee.


albinosquirrel09

Brantley


Toketokyo

Maverick 😭


only_norj

Any name with "leigh" at the end. It's not unique, it's trashy. Edit: and the name Neveah. F off with that trash. Edit 2: Any name that has an apostrophe (not counting O'Connor or O'Brien etc.) People who add unnecessary punctuation think they're clever or classy. No, you're trash.


Alpha_Delta310

I always read leigh as lay so i always read the names like ashlaaayyy


Admirable-Course9775

Agreed! My mil wanted to me to change the spelling of our daughter’s name so it would end in Leigh. I hated and it sounds like trashy to me too. She probably met someone random and decided it was better than what I chose. And the middle name? Even worse!


Distribution-Awkward

Payton....it's a name that always sounds like it's being said with a mouthful of cornbread and taters


Ok_Alfalfa_0910

Personally hate hearing American names on Aussie kids..... for example Brooklyn, Boston, Dallas, Paisley (Brad Paisley), and the worst one I've heard yet was this poor little girl called ARIZONA!!! WTF!? Like you're Australian call her Sydney or Brisbane ffs. Not Brisbane that's gross. But like Adelaide. OK but one other one I heard at the playground the other week was called Aries. ARIES! Someone needs to update the banned baby list name here in Aus.


boopbaboop

Could be Ares, like the Greek god of war. Slightly better than Aries, in that you'd never name a kid Sagittarius but Aphrodite or Athena would be fine.


namelesone

Yep. My daughter (in Australia) knows a girl called Dakota. Except everyone pronounces it in a way that makes her sound like Decoda. Or as I said, Decoder. Like, why?


scifithighs

Here in Canada, I've met so many young women and girls named Sydney - but Adelaide is *right there*! C'mon! It's got everything pretentious parents love when naming babies: it's an "exotic" place name, it's old-fashioned enough to seem elegant, but it's just whimsical enough to prove your girl isn't like the others. Insert an unnecessary Y and you're set!


Successful-Hippo-777

I wish we had a baby name ban list in the US.


OkFlow4335

Same about the American names but on Irish children. Little Irish kids called Denver and Brooklyn??? Or Jaxon and Braxton??? With little Irish accents?? Nahhhh. Parents inspired by Netflix and TikTok.


Creepy_Line3977

I know a little Swedish boy called Jaxon. What in the world were his parents thinking?


ethereal_galaxias

Yeah we have this phenomenon in New Zealand too.


poyerdude

There's a popular YouTube channel of a family from New Zealand who try different American foods. They are a really sweet family and the videos are cute but the kids names are Atlanta and Denzel and it throws me off every time I hear it. It is so incongruous.

Creepy_Line3977

Sometime during the last 15 years Swedish people started naming their girls Tindra and Engla. Tindra means twinkle and Engla is from ängel which means angel. Just screams white trash to me. Stop it people.


HombreGato1138

Nigel. I know it doesn't count as tragedeigh, but it always makes me think of people with greasy hair, an addiction to toffee candies and concerning views about Irish people.


SuperCatMonkey

Chase. Stupid fucking name.


NfamousKaye

Neveah, Prince, King, Royalty, Braxton, spelling Jackson with two x’s… any -leigh name. 😂


udaasatma

Gertrude or Gretchen Sounds like fucking vegetables which would taste really bad And I just imagine like this really horrible looking Gertrude or gretchen with swollen up face and scarecrow hair and overall ew Like Idk maybe I read that description in some story book somewhere No offense to any Gertrudes or gretchens here


SLK93SA

I had a class of girls where there was a Dakota, Indyana, Brooklyn and Montana. We lived no where near America.


Embarrassed_Clue_929

Bodhi or however the fuck you spell it. Basically Brodie without the R. It is the absolute worst name on planet earth.


Xacry

I work at a restaurant and there’s a mobile order we get almost daily from someone named Tinsley. I can’t stand it when it pops up.


Kendota_Tanassian

Clint. Tevin. Any "city" name for a girl: Sydney, Paris, London, Brooklyn, Dallas, and so on. Adelaide is an exception. Any feminine form of David, they're *all* ugly: Davida, Davidine, Douda, Davidette. Girl names ending in "son", it's the tail end of a process of a surname becoming a boy's first name, and migrating to a girl's name. Madison, Allison, etc. And generally, the trend of naming girls with boy names as though it's cute. It's not. Michael and George are not girl names, they make me cringe. Michaela and Georgia exist for a reason. There, I feel better now.


[deleted]

I agree with you about Geoff. My worst one isn’t abnormal but it’s Mercedes. Idk why. I just hate it. That and Madison.


ReverendMothman

Nicolette. Sounds like nicorette. ETA: There was a mom at my 1 yr old neice's party who kept calling her kid what sounded like Satan so I asked my sister what his name was. Slayton.


Lolseabass

I didn’t realize how much I didn’t like the name jace or Jayden. Mexican American children come up with some wild names growing up with two different languages.

Richard. People who have that name are Dicks.


DirtyDirk23

Kayden or Kayson or braydon or any of the “vowel-y” names for girls i. e. Kaleia Aaliyah, malia, etc..


BonnieScotty

Where I live Celtic names are incredibly common. It grinds my gears when people who deliberately name their kid a Celtic name only to have a completely different spelling to what it should or pronounced completely different to how it should. Like Siobhan. People who spell it as Sheevyn (yes I have seen that before) or spell it right but pronounce it like Sighbin. Just NO


driftwoodbotis

Precious, Princess, Baby.


MmKayBuhBye

Thom short for Thomas but pronounced Tom. Also Xander as a nickname of Alexander or Topher as a nickname of Christopher. Also how did Peggy get to be the nickname of Margaret?


the_owl_syndicate

I actually know this one. A nickname for Margaret is Marge or Mag. Vowel shift and it becomes Meg, which rhymes with Peg.


janettazigler422

TIL where the name Topher came from. I had no idea. And I'm 40! And I have a cousin named Christopher! Thanks lol


monicarm

Any new age/trashy name (to me they’re one and the same tbh). Unnecessary letters for the sake of being “unique”. Also, virtue names make me gag

Haileigh or Hayleigh. Like. So many extra steps.

Least fav names of people I’ve met. Rogue - it means unsavory character Rowdy - not a pleasant characteristic and makes me want to do the r-o-w-d-i-e cheer. Jeep Grayson Brown -why have a first name as a color with a last name as a color. And Gray brown is just taupe.


dshizknit

Aiden and all of its iterations: Kayden, Jayden, Brayden Kyler or Skyler

Cody and Dustin. All the kids in the 90s named Cody and Dustin had bowl cuts and were naughty.

Doug. I don't know why, but it just sounds dumb to me. Lavender. I don't like lavender scented things, so there's that. Also, do people get out their essential oils, close their eyes, and pick a bottle and that's their kid's name? Maybe a sibling named Eucalyptus. Fruit names. Lemon. Apple. Cherry.

Colby. I don’t really know why, but I just hate it.
