Naming your baby can be one of the more difficult things you have to do. You want it to be just right, since your bundle of joy has to live with it the rest of their life. So it has to be just perfect right? But if you have ever had to name a child, you know that everyone has an opinion. From your Mother and Mother-In-Law, family members, to your friends, and even strangers who ask what you are having will seem to spew their preference, even if you didn’t ask.
Baby Name Wizard has taken to the baby name forums and messageboards to see what name sounds like nails on a chalkboard. They didn’t want to do the worst name you had ever heard, but regular names that people hear and can’t stand.
Check out the winner – or losers, so to speak, and see what you think. There is a rhyme and reason to each name and you can check that out on their website. Some of these names are really popular, and maybe that is where the disdain comes from. Actually, one of the names on there is what we would name our daughter if we had one, so I will take this with a grain of salt. It is not like I am going to change my mind. It is what my Husband and I like, not what other people like.
