A-Z Baby Names That Your Child May Regret Being Named

Becoming a parent is a new and exciting milestone in your life. When it comes to naming your new bundle of joy, with so many names available, it can be a challenging decision. Some names may be very popular now or remind you of a person or place. In addition, some names may be difficult to pronounce, and others may have an inappropriate meaning. We’ve put together a list of A-Z baby names that your child may regret being named. However, keep in mind that if you do love a name, then it is important to take your personal choice into account. This article is meant to be lighthearted.

A

• Ahmiracle: This girl’s name is pronounced ah-MEER-uh-kul and means blessing, miracle, and wonder. We know that all parents are proud of their new miracle; however, it doesn’t need to be that obvious. Rather, consider a name that means miracle.
• Aliviyah: It’s pronounced uh-lih-VEE-uh. This is the new trendy way of spelling Olivia, meaning “olive tree.” We’re not sure why one would change the original spelling. However, the new trend spelling means “peace and intelligence” and is said to be of Arabic origin.
• Any: Yes, that’s right, Any. “Why Mom”? “Because I couldn’t think of any names.”.
• Abcde: Why? Are you teaching the alphabet? Ancestry.com’s records show that 2016 was the year that most babies were named Abcde.
• Airwrecka: If you read this slowly, it’s pronounced Erica. We don’t think Airwrecka would like having to spell her name more than once. Not to mention the jokes? When your parents applaud your gas situation. “Can you smell that Airwrecka?”
• Arson: Why would anyone name their child about burning public property?

B

• Baby Girl: I think the parents were expecting a baby boy and may have been surprised when it was a baby girl. Maybe they hadn’t thought of any baby girl names.

• Blessing: Yes, my child is a blessing.
• Bambi: The parents must have loved the movie.

Furthermore, her siblings also have the odd names Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof, Little Pixie Geldof, and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof. Additionally, Fifi also rhymes with beefy.

L

• L’Oreal: Naming your child after the slogan “Because you’re worth it”? Hmm…

• Latrina: In Latin, it means toilet, a place to bathe.
• Little Sweetmeat: This is apparently of Chinese origin and means “godly figure.” Why would you call your baby a small godly figure?
