What you name your child can have a big impact on their life. It's how people are going to address them and how they will, unfortunately, be viewed and judged.

Some parents want their child to have a somewhat unique name. I certainly get it. My wife and I named our kids Jade (boy) and Kaiya (girl) because we didn't want traditional names. But in the quest for that uniqueness, a few parents take it too far.

Parents.com released their worst names of 2019 and it's hard to argue they are not good names at all. I've listed what I think are some of the worst (and funniest). But like the Dude says, that's just like my opinion man.

Boy Names:
Yugo - Yep, like the car. The cars have been out of production for over 10 years now so it probably won't be so bad 10 or 20 years from now. That could have been the case with "Delorean" but unfortunately "Back To The Future" ruined that.

Pinches - I'm thinking "Pinches"...is going to get a lot of noogies.

Danger - Austin "Danger" Powers comes to mind. Now that I think of it...never mind...it's kind of an awesome name. Sorry kid, you'll learn to appreciate it.

Kingmessiah - One word. That's putting WAY too many expectations on that kid that he'll never live up to.

Girl Names:
"Mattel" - Just name your daughter Barbie and get it over with.

"Any" - Stop and think about that for a moment.

"Starlett" and "Vegas" - If you name your daughter Starlett, don't be surprised if they end up in Vegas.

"Chardonnay" - Is this what we're doing? Naming our daughters after wine? So Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon? Damn it! I just gave someone an idea for a name.
