Meconium and Chlamydia?

The worst baby names we’ve
ever heard
How on earth? - by that's life!

An online discussion about the worst baby names

ever has revealed some terrible baby-naming
decisions.

One woman owned up having been named ‘Chlamydia’

because he mother thought it ‘looked preVy’. The
woman went by her middle name instead, since
chlamydia is also the name of sexually transmiVed
infecYon.

Another woman shared the name Meconium, which may

sound like a rare gemstone but is in fact the name for
the stuZ a newborn baby poops out right a[er they’re
born.

Medical terms seem to be popular but it’s important to

look them up \rst, a[er one mother named her daughter
Catatonia - which describes a coma-like state.

There are risks with sYcking to convenYonal names and

deciding to shake up the spelling instead.

One mum was happy to call her daughter Virginia -

however when she spelled it the girl came away named
V-A-G-I-N-A.

Finally there are the bizarre things that happen when

there are two babies to name. One commenter said a
pair of idenYcal twins were both named Viola - though
one was pronounced Vee-ola and the other Vi-ola
despite having idenYcal spelling.

Do you have any names to share?
