TikTokers Share 35 Unhinged Baby Names That Sound Cruel And Confusing

Recently, a NICU nurse sparked a lively discussion on TikTok on the subject of baby name fails. While there are millions of charming names to choose from, many parents still struggle to find just the right moniker for their special little bundle of joy. The desire to be different, unique or extraordinary may influence the baby-naming decision quite a bit as evidenced by some of the names chosen by parents. We’ve run through the viral post and found the most unhinged baby names people have responded with and shared them in the gallery below.

Choosing a name for your child is not an easy task. After all, it is one that they will have to walk around with for the rest of their lives; unless, of course, they take matters into their own hands and change it.
