If you've been around someone who had to name a baby or are parents who have been engrossed in the same, you know it is a mind-wracking task. Parents look at books, the internet, ancestors and so many sources to find meaningful names. Often, parents have different expectations for names. While some hope to have a symbolic name, others choose a family member's name to honor them. There are still others who like to improvise or pick rare names. Some even prefer a common name, because why not? In all instances, the hope is to have an identity the child will want to hold onto for a lifetime.

However, some parents have gone completely berserk and have chosen such bizarre names for their kids that it leaves people flabbergasted every time it is said out loud. A user on Reddit asked people to share, "What’s the worst baby names you’ve ever heard? Specifically baby names that people have legitimately named their children," and the responses were wild.
