The worst kid names



Why would parents name their child Tiny Hooker or Fanny Large? Or even Wanna Towell? It’s not just Hollywood’s elite using unique, and embarrassing names. Throughout history, normal people separated their offspring from the masses with terrible names.

In “Bad Baby Names,” Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback, of the genealogy Web site Ancestry.com, share thousands of shocking names given to real people. Sherrod and Rayback used U.S. Census Bureau data to find the worst names.

Here are a few of the worst ones based on common themes:
·         diseases (Fever Bender and Cholera Peace)
·         food (Bread White and Pomegranate Purple)
·         pets (Good Dog),

And if you thought Wednesday Addams was unfortunate, wait until you meet Monday Monday.
