A bit of a more mild example, but I went to high school with a girl named Krista Ferr, which I thought was vaguely mean of her parents.

Getting way out of baby/kid range, but this reminds me of a woman who sold some books to our store a few years ago; her name, as per her driver's license, was Krystal Mathis Goode.

My sister went to high school with a dude named Michael Hunt. He changed it in the 10th grade to Mitchell. In high school, we had a football game against a school whose starting running back was Mike Hunt. Yeah, we all got a good laugh every time they said his name over the loudspeaker. We had even more fun on the way home. "Mike Hunt really took a hard shot." "Mike Hunt was bleeding after that last play." "Mike Hunt is going to hurt tomorrow." Yeah, we had a million of 'em. Haha.

I went to high school with a guy named Freedom. He hated it, and went by his middle name John until he admitted his real first name like a week before graduation. I felt bad for him, he must've had to get there early on the first day of school every year so he didn't get humiliated during roll call. I work for a payroll company, and we have some weirdly named employees. Who the hell names their kid Kilo or Princess?

My friends and I did something similar during my senior year of high school. We wrote for the school newspaper, and at the time, pro golfer J.B. Holmes was on the golf team for a rival school. The J in his name stands for John, and when we all realized that he had the same name as the famous porn star, we'd use all kinds of porn-related puns as temporary headlines before we sent the issues to press whenever we'd have to mention our school's golf team playing against his.

My older siblings went to school with a guy named Ben Israel Gay.
I watch way too much Maury. I see names like Mylove, Mi'Angel, Dorkish, Queen, Fear, King Messiah, Araya Sunshine, Unique, Greggriyonna and Greggriyana (twins), Tia Wanna, Forever, tons of names with -etta and -isha at the end...
I feel so bad for quite a few of these kids, they're going to need therapy before they're too old thanks to their parents' stupid choices.

I feel so bad for quite a few of these kids, they're going to need therapy before they're too old thanks to their parents' stupid choices. Oof. That must be a corruption of the real name Dorcas. My wife wanted to consider that for a girls name. I had MUCH harder a time than I should have getting through to her why that is a terrible idea. Oh boy did my family never let her live that one down when I enlisted their help in convincing her it was terrible. She also wanted to add Nimue (Nimway) to the list. Nimue is the Lady of the Lake in Arthurian legends. Aside from the fact that the kid would never have their name pronounced right (Nimoo? Nim-you-ee?) it jumps right to nimrod, nitwit, etc as insults. And its weird. And she wouldn't agree to add Moira to the girls name list because people wouldn't know how to pronounce it. ... We kinda spent a lot of time on names, with spreadsheets and everything. Boys names were narrowed down to Andrew or Leonard. Girls were narrowed down to Beatrice or Verna. Had a boy, and he ended up being Andrew Joseph Lastname.

I am pretty sure it wasn't. It was pronounced "Dork-eesh", and it was a grown-ass man on the show for denying a baby. Also saw two guys named Drama and Concrete on there one day. It's a goldmine for some of the worst names you can think of.

Catfish is another good show for crazy name spotting. There was a Speshul on one I saw recently, but my favourite ever is Lemonade. Like, it's not even a nice sounding word.
In real life, I saw someone recently on FB who had named their baby Bear. Last name was Brown. So, he'd be on the school register as Brown, Bear. Just why?!
