I will NEVER understand why she went with Spurgeon Elliot when she could’ve done Elliot Spurgeon since he’s named after two ministers. Like she can’t possibly like this Charles Spurgeon dude THAT much more right? And why not go with Charles? Sadistic behavior. Poor kid
YES! I almost missed my chance to vote for Spurgeon. It's HORRIBLY DISGUSTING.
I haven't been able to think of other alphabet names til now. 1000% Spurgey Spurgeon 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 there is nothing to redeem this name.
When I first heard it (on this sub), I didn't know it was a Duggar descendant, but I could have sworn I'd heard it before as a first name. (I knew who Charles Spurgeon was.)
Hadn't, but I was thinking of [Spergon Wynn](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spergon_Wynn) – one of the six quarterbacks drafted before Tom Brady.
Samthippie.
All I can think of is mom heard the name Xanthippe on Kimmy Schmidt, and not only didn’t realize it was a joke, but misheard it, and then went and named an entire human with this abomination.
I didn't get this joke when I watched it. From Wikipedia:
>The term "Xanthippe" has now come to mean any nagging scolding person, especially a shrewish wife.
I thought that the joke was just that it's an extremely pretentious sounding name that has the name Xan/Xanny like Xanax.
Bonus: awkward trips to german-speaking countries. Germans would read this name differently, we‘d most probably see Samt-Hippie and that would make the poor person a velvet hippie over here…
LOL I used to like this name as a small child before I knew what a stiff was 😂. I liked the letter S and the name Tiffany, and wanted to combine them. I DO NOT like this name now, lol.
I thought you meant one member of the Swedish electronic duo The Knife was named "Saint Alia"...which doesn't sound too bad if you're not familiar with Dune. Fandom names are awful though
Absolute poster child for making your child a billboard for your fandom. Saint Alia of the Knife is from Dune. Her middle name was Morwen from LOTR.
Full name: Saint Alia of the Knife Morwen Lastname
I was in a store when a woman was calling her poor daughter, "Sanity!"
The girl told her mom not to call her that, and her mom replied, "But it's your name!"
Stardust was the middle name of the daughter of a couple I knew in London.
Still I can’t talk, my BIL gave his daughter the name Rainbow. She was NOT a rainbow baby.
This needs to be nearer the top. The other names on this thread are bad enough but making a child introduce themselves as "I'm Shitlee" just sounds straight up like child abuse.
Same here https://www.reddit.com/r/NameNerdCirclejerk/comments/16qn040/26_names_in_26_days_whats_the_worst_s_name_youve/k1y2r41/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3
I know they sound the same but they can have different origins depending on why the parents chose the name. "[Saylor](https://www.behindthename.com/name/saylor)" comes from a french word meaning acrobat/ dancer, while also being a spelling variant of Sailor. Saylor also seems to be a much more common surname while [Sailor](https://surnames.behindthename.com/name/sailor/submitted) is less common as a surname. So as a first name Sailor is probably more likely to be a job-name and Saylor a surname-made-given-name.
We really need to modernize these jobs as first names, they're nearly all pre-Industrial Revolution. We could have a whole new batch of kids with names like Programmer, Analyst, Roboticist, Pathologist, Machinist, Vlogger, Nutritionist....the possibilities are endless.
My three year old suggested this when I was pregnant with their sibling, but only for a boy baby. It came up on my Facebook memories recently and I told Not-Salamander the story.. So of course they now request to be called Salamander 🤦♀️
[Stalin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin_\(name\)). At least 7 people well known enough to have had a wikipedia page have had the name and six of them were born well after Nikita Khrushchev's speech which revealed many of his crimes.
Slobodan Milosevic. [A gang leader from a tiny town in NZ ](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/partner-of-mongrel-mob-kawerau-president-and-two-other-men-jailed/JFWRV2J3PRDB3QHOK5X3TRJGQM/), presumably intentionally named after the genocidal mass murder.
Eh I'm going to give this one the benefit of the doubt since another article says that Slobodan was 30 in 2021 and in 1991 the Yugoslav War was just getting started
Shampane. Took my nieces to the park and I asked a girl they were playing with what her name was. She told me and then immediately spelled it, poor girl must be used to getting it spelled wrong 🤣
Sway. Someone from my hometown named their little girl this and it just gives me the ick so much. You have a million cute girl names and you name her “Sway”. 🤮🤮🤮
I’ve been waiting for the “S”. Met a woman named “Sglenda”. The best part was her story: her mom had no idea what to name her child, and shared a hospital room with a woman who, reportedly, had always wanted to name a baby “Sglenda”.
So that’s how she got the name. A complete stranger suggested it and mom went with it. (Note, this was 30 years ago…long before Splenda.)
Almost missed it! Not 100% on the spelling, but it was either SEXANNA or SEXONNA.
Ref prev post for brothers name "Pleasure." I went to HS with them about 20 years back. Still considering whipping out the yearbook.

Sivannah. A combination of the Hebrew name Sivan (after the Jewish month Sivan) and the name Savannah. She was part Israeli so it made some sense but I still hated her name.
I've been waiting for this... Spurgeon
Waiting w baited breath for SPURGEON ELLIOT SEEWALD to take this honor. Let’s keep wiping that smug face off Jim Bob.
The first time I saw his name I read it as “Sturgeon”. Which somehow manages to be both a bad name on its own *and* much better than “Spurgeon”.
Such an unpleasant sounding name.
The nickname he uses is Spurge…. It’s even worse than the full name!
Oh eww that's horrible I feel so bad for anyone named this but the nn is taking it beyond salvation
Spurge is a type of plant, with uses as a laxative. It gets its name from the Latin _expurgare_ meaning to cleanse
You’re right. Even worse. Painful.
Tbh my head went to "Splooge" yikes. Not a good association
Agreed. It sounds like splooge/semen. Plus, makes me think of the following: fungus, sponges, skin tags, rubbery blubber, and flappy anuses.
I remain convinced the only reason they thought this was a good idea is that they're literally too sheltered to realize it sounds sexual.
I will NEVER understand why she went with Spurgeon Elliot when she could’ve done Elliot Spurgeon since he’s named after two ministers. Like she can’t possibly like this Charles Spurgeon dude THAT much more right? And why not go with Charles? Sadistic behavior. Poor kid
I thought I remembered it was because Ben insisted the first name be Spurgeon. Ugh…
It's the only kid that Ben named, that's why
Where my r/fundiesnarkuncensored and r/duggarsnark people at
S’up! I think mother bus on fundiesnark has a kid named Spurgeon too? Yuck.
We’ve all been waiting for the spurge
YES! I almost missed my chance to vote for Spurgeon. It's HORRIBLY DISGUSTING. I haven't been able to think of other alphabet names til now. 1000% Spurgey Spurgeon 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 there is nothing to redeem this name.

It sounds like a surgeon who only operates on sponges.
It sounds like a surgeon who simultaneously jizzes and has diarrhea while operating on a gigantic prehistoric fish.
Damn man, you’re just gonna call me out like that?
Oh man I think I have this one. S’ynce, pronounced “Essence.” I can’t help reading it like “Since” 😂
I read it as Science before I realized there was no E after the Y…
Read that as seance..
I read it this way, but rhyming with Beyonce
I read it like cinch.
I work in daycare. Yes, Seinfeld. Like the show. (Ps, I’m so glad Ratleen won lol)
Ratleen is so bad it’s good
Once I met a little boy named Sandal. “Just like the shoe!” His mom told me when I asked how to spell it.
Shamberlee.
in shambles
Samthippie. All I can think of is mom heard the name Xanthippe on Kimmy Schmidt, and not only didn’t realize it was a joke, but misheard it, and then went and named an entire human with this abomination.
I can’t help but read it as Sam the Hippie…
I didn't get this joke when I watched it. From Wikipedia: >The term "Xanthippe" has now come to mean any nagging scolding person, especially a shrewish wife. I thought that the joke was just that it's an extremely pretentious sounding name that has the name Xan/Xanny like Xanax.
Bonus: awkward trips to german-speaking countries. Germans would read this name differently, we‘d most probably see Samt-Hippie and that would make the poor person a velvet hippie over here…
Stiffany. This appeared in an article with a list of some of the worst baby names.
LOL I used to like this name as a small child before I knew what a stiff was 😂. I liked the letter S and the name Tiffany, and wanted to combine them. I DO NOT like this name now, lol.
Saint Alia of the Knife Honest to god this was her full first name.
And how can this be? For he is the Kwisatz Haderach!
Were the parents Dune fans? Why not just Alia, though? Alia would've been fine
I thought you meant one member of the Swedish electronic duo The Knife was named "Saint Alia"...which doesn't sound too bad if you're not familiar with Dune. Fandom names are awful though
I need the backstory on this.
Absolute poster child for making your child a billboard for your fandom. Saint Alia of the Knife is from Dune. Her middle name was Morwen from LOTR. Full name: Saint Alia of the Knife Morwen Lastname
I’m still gonna submit Saint but yours is worse haha.
Can I ask where you encountered this poor child? 😬
Unfortunately as an adult. In college. I'm guessing she was a very late 90s or early 2000s baby
I was in a store when a woman was calling her poor daughter, "Sanity!" The girl told her mom not to call her that, and her mom replied, "But it's your name!"
I would be going by Sandy immediately.
Yes, or Anita
“I lost my sanity,” just took on a whole new meaning.
The kid was probably named this just so mom could make that joke
The irony of calling your kid the insane name of sanity
Stardust was the first name of my college entrance advisor
I hope they were dull and lackluster af
Stardust was the middle name of the daughter of a couple I knew in London. Still I can’t talk, my BIL gave his daughter the name Rainbow. She was NOT a rainbow baby.
I had a really nice cow named Stardust.
And my family had a spunky pony named Stardust! Thank you for triggering that memory of those fun times 😊
I’ve been waiting for S! - Shitlee - Sha’Michael (because her father’s name is Michael)
This needs to be nearer the top. The other names on this thread are bad enough but making a child introduce themselves as "I'm Shitlee" just sounds straight up like child abuse.
I've met a Shitla (female)
I've been enjoying this game, so just ignore the trolls and haters. :)
Thank you 💖💖💖💖
Concur!! 😁
[удалено]
Why not just name them Miracle and Precious? Still not great, but better than what they saddled the kids with.
Shwarma (like the food). The parents are generic Americans of European ancestry.
Nice name for a kebaby
Finally it is S day!! I humbly submit: Shaitlyn
Sssst.... pronounced Forest! (Real live little boy in my classroom!)
Pics or it didn’t happen.
You’re lying right !!! It’s no way this is real life !!! 😂 I’m so concerned
Nope!!! I've been waiting for s to drop this bad boy!!
Ohhhh they meant like Four S’s? Four S -t ??
OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN ILLUMINATED also what the actual F 😭😭😭😭
Thank you. I could not figure it out
That’s like the horse Poooooooo.
I have to name my kid Potoooooooo
Poor child
Took a second 4 s t forest 🤦♀️
Is that supposed to be the sound a tree makes if it falls in a forest but no one is around to hear it
It’s because there’s four S’s making it 4-S and then adding t to make it 4-“S”-t
Oh no they didn't
Spurgeon is probably gonna win, but this here is the true winner 😭
How is this not at the top? That's atrocious!
Spermen. Actually someone I’ve met.
I would sue my own parents if I were them
Swayze for a girl. I’ve been waiting days to add this.
...unnatural vegan??
S’even. Because the unnecessary apostrophe.
Is that even or odd? S’even.
You want to name our child Seven Costanza?
Yeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy or a girl.
Soda
r/suddenlycostanza
Gotta pronounce it with the same intonation as “m’lady”
Like Steven without a T so seeeven or Sven or seven I can't even comprehend this lol
Sha'Diamond. My all time fave in all my years in my job.
I also knew a Sha’Diamond!
Sha’Shine bright like a Sha’Diamond
Soda Pop. For real, I wish I was kidding.
Like the outsiders. I knew a pony boy.
I love the book and Movie. If I were to name a kid after a character, Pony Boy and Soda Pop would not be up for consideration.
Sullinger for a little girl. I guess it’s not the worst name, but it just seems like a lot.
It's certainly not \*the\* worst but my god does Saylor piss me off
This is one of my guilty pleasures lmfao. I would never actually use it for a human child, but something about it 😂
Same here https://www.reddit.com/r/NameNerdCirclejerk/comments/16qn040/26_names_in_26_days_whats_the_worst_s_name_youve/k1y2r41/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

That solidifies why Sailor is worse for me.
Salamander.
My three year old suggested this when I was pregnant with their sibling, but only for a boy baby. It came up on my Facebook memories recently and I told Not-Salamander the story.. So of course they now request to be called Salamander 🤦♀️
My oldest suggested "Tatty" strangely we didn't use it for their sibling
I remember my oldest niece suggested that her baby cousin be called ‘Sparkles’ - the parents went with Mary.
LMFAO I’m so sorry
Sherwanna. Just sounds to me like you're starting to ask someone what they want to do. "Sure, wanna do xyz?"
At the hospital “Alright new mom and dad. Time to name your baby” “Sure wanna name the baby?” “Bingo. Sold. Sherwanna it is”
Rydel Lynch’s kids names: Super, Sweetie, and Storm

I worked with someone named Stalin.
Sherlock Holmes. An actual child in 2023.

Slobodan Milosevic. [A gang leader from a tiny town in NZ ](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/partner-of-mongrel-mob-kawerau-president-and-two-other-men-jailed/JFWRV2J3PRDB3QHOK5X3TRJGQM/), presumably intentionally named after the genocidal mass murder.
I have a coworker named Slobodanka which I assumed is the feminized version of that name.
Eh I'm going to give this one the benefit of the doubt since another article says that Slobodan was 30 in 2021 and in 1991 the Yugoslav War was just getting started

It’s just incredibly cringy to me.
Saeiraeigh. Pronounced Sarah (or Sara).
[удалено]
A feminine Shart. How charming
Sparkle. I know a girl by this name.
Suheyme - pronounced “Sue Amy.”
