Don't give your baby one of these names.

I'm not sure why people give their babies the names that they do. I am always fascinated by how we react to names, both good and bad. I do believe that you need a good name, one that fits you and one that you personally like. It adds to a persons sense of value, and helps create meaning in their lives to have a name that they like.

That is why this article makes me feel sad. I guess it is a sign of the maturity of the parents. At any rate let this article be a guide, if you don't already know better.

The worst, most humiliating baby names

What would compel a parent to bestow a newborn with a name like “Tiny Hooker” or “Fanny Large”? Or an amusing choice like “Wanna Towell"? It’s not just Hollywood’s elite opting for unique, embarrassing names—throughout history, normal people separated their offspring from the masses with truly terrible names.
