Mums share ten ‘worst’ baby names and their brutal reasons for each

Mums on Mumsnet have compiled a list of the “worst” baby names. The mums have taken to the parenting platform to share details of the ten baby names.

Parents have given their reasons for hating the names, and some are downright hilarious. The forum was titled: “What would you never name a child and why?”.

In response, dozens of mums left their responses in the comments. Some of the reasons given by the parents were pretty savage.
