bad baby names

Tagged:

I was watching the Today Show yesterday and they were showing a list of bad baby names. When they first went to commercial, I thought, 'oh how bad can baby names be? There are a few uncommon ones out there, but it can't be that bad.' I know there are celebrities that have strange names for their child. And people want to be unique with the names, fair enough.

Here is the link to bad baby names: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/23631411/

Who would name their child after one of the seven deadly sins? Why would you want to name the child after a deadly sin? I mean to name your child Greed or Lust? I know that there are people who name their child after a name in the Bible, which itself can get very weird, but after a deadly sin? And there are 149 people, on record, named Lust. That's quite a lot. Of course, there is no one names Gluttony. I wonder why?

I don't know which one is worse... being named after one of the deadly sins or being named after a disease? It seems that people named after the disease lived in the 1800's. Maybe their parents discovered the disease and decide to name it after their child. Who knows?

They named their child KYD! How awful?

"Come here Kyd"
"Don't do that Kyd"
"Say hi Kyd"

Ridiculous!

People in the 1800s weren't named after diseases. The diseases were named after them.
