Some names are just outrightly horrible. Ugly names would constantly give the bearer so much trouble coupled with the stigma that may accompany it.

Consequently, no one would wish to be identified with an ugly name. we have put together some really horrifying names below which you need to avoid while naming your kids.

Some Really Ugly Female Names you should Steer Clear of

Akuji – The meaning of this African name is “dead and awake” – not very cheery for a new life!

Apple – We still cannot get over Gwyneth Paltrow naming her baby Apple. The fact that the trend never caught on says enough of the name.

Bertha – We just have one thing to say about this moniker. Bertha is an outdated name and shows no chance of resurgence. We don’t mean to say all old-timey names are bad, but this one is not even heard now. And it sounds nanny types too!

Cecilia – Although this pretty-sounding Latin name may be your name of choice, you may want not want to tempt fate as it means “blind”.

Claudia – Again, you might want to avoid this feminine of Latin Claudius as it means “lame” or “disabled”.

Deirdre – This Celtic and Gaelic name, unfortunately, means “sorrowful” or “sad one”.

Desdemona –  You’d already be off to a bad start as this Shakespearean character is murdered by her husband, Othello. Never mind that this Greek name means “of the devil”, “ill-fated one” and “misery”.

Dolores – This Spanish name sadly means “lady of sorrows” – you don’t want your little girl to become one of those, do you?!

Emily – Emily is an English version of the Latin Aemilila, which comes from the word for “rival”.

Hecate – This Greek goddess of witchcraft is probably not a good omen for your little’un.

Helga – Just listen to the way it sounds. It really hurts our throat while saying this name. Helga was the name of the main lead of the Nickelodeon show “Hey Arnold”. Remember the girl with a pink dress, blonde pigtails with a pink bow that would keep pushing everyone around?

Irelynn – Irelynn is a downright stupid and lazy name. People must have picked it as a variation to Ireland.

Kennedy – A unisex name of Celtic and Gaelic origin, and is often a surname too – meaning “deformed head”.

Keres – This Greek baby name means “evil spirits” – eek!

Jezebel – Once used as a word to shame women, this Hebrew name actually means “an impure follower of idols”.

Leah – The name Leah actually has many different meanings in many languages, but in American or Hebrew-speaking families this name means “tired or weary”.

Lilith – It’s so close to the pretty flower name Lily, that we wouldn’t have thought Lilith would be anything but lovely and pretty. But it turns out that this Hebrew name means “night monster” or “ghost”.

Lola – Lola is actually a diminutive of Dolores (who knew!) which is above, meaning “lady of sorrows”. Oh dear!

Loralei – This German name is another pretty-sounding name, but deriving from Lurlei which means “ambush cliff”, Loralei actually means “she whose singing lures men to destruction”. Yikes!

Mallory – You just can’t get any worse than this unisex French name – it means “unfortunate” or “ill-fated”.

Malvolia – This feminine version of Shakespeare’s Malvolio translates to “ill will”.

Mara – See, although this name DOES mean “bitter” or “sorrow” in Hebrew, and is also a Hindu goddess of destruction, Mara does mean “sea” in Gaelic. So, you know, there’s that…

Mary – SURELY the mother of Jesus has a name which is holy and wonderful? Unfortunately not. Mary means “rebellion” or “bitter” in Hebrew.

Molly – We’re not sure what’s going on with these three but yet again, Molly also means “bitter”.

Narcissa – There are two ways you can look at this name. The Narcissa flower is more commonly known as a daffodil – you know, those beautiful yellow flowers that signify the beginning of Spring! But it sadly also links to the word narcissistic, which means to be obsessed with yourself.

Nevaeh – The only thing we can say about naming your child Nevaeh (the opposite of Heaven) is that it is kinder than calling her Hell. Nevaeh is not creative at all. It is bad, ugly and tacky

Nerezza – This Italian name means “darkness”. Which isn’t necessarily a BAD thing, but…

Ninel – Do you know the history of this name? The name entered the mainstream during the Russian revolution and it is Lenin spelled backwards.

Olga – Yes, you read it right! Olga is actually a name and means beautiful in Russian.

Peggy – As a moniker, Peggy lacks feminity and grace. It makes us think of a waitress in a restaurant or someone with two peg legs. Yes, we know that it makes no sense.

Persephone – Again, there are two ways to think about this name. Yes, the first is the meanings of “to destroy” and “murder”. But bear in mind that Persephone was the Greek goddess of Spring!

Portia – You’d probably rather hear about the Shakespearean character, who was rich, beautiful and intelligent. But the word Portia derives from a word for… well, pig.

Rebecca – Although this biblical woman is normally looked up to, being one of the main characters in the bible, the name actually means “to bind”, “to tie” or “snare”.

Sidero – This name is a Latin name meaning “evil nymph”. You don’t want one of those on your hands!

Sloane – This Gaelic name is slightly ambiguous – yes, it means “warrior” or “fighter”, but that’s not ALWAYS a bad thing, is it?

Sue – Sue will make an excellent name for a cat or dog, but not a girl. And sue is another term for prosecute. So without giving a second thought, pick some other name for your child. And it was also on the ugly baby name list on Twitter.

Thana – Sounds lovely doesn’t it? But Thana actually means “death” in Arabic. Gulp.

Tristana – This Celtic name means “sorrowful” or “sad”. Poor Tristana!

Tristesse – Following the same train of thought, this French name means “sadness”.

Zilla – Hmm, this Hebrew baby name might sound very pretty, but it actually means “shadow”, “shade” and “gloom”…

Horrendous Baby Boy Names

Abaddon – YIKES – translated into Hebrew, Abaddon means “Angel of death”. He’s also the king of a locust army in the New Testament.

Alastor – Anyone considering naming their sprog after Mad Eye Moody in Harry Potter, think again. This name is Ancient Greek for “persecutor” or “tormentor”.

Angus – Angus would be fine for a 43 year old doctor, but definitely not for a cuddly infant.

Azazel – Biblical groups cite his name as an “evil demon” or “evil spirit”, or even a “fallen angel”.

Brennan – When used as a first name, this Gaelic name is Anglicised and means “sorrow” or “sadness”.

Brone – Another Irish name, and it also means “sadness”.

Byron – It’s not as concerning as some of the other names on the list, but Byron is derived from Old English “byre”, which means “cowshed”.

Calvin – Derived from the French “chauve”, meaning “bald”… Don’t tempt fate!

Cameron – Could be worse, but this Scottish name means “crooked nose”.

Campbell – Another Scottish name, this time meaning “crooked mouth”.

Cannon – Were the parents of this child in the military? Then what made them choose this name? The name would look and sound weirder if the last name was Ball.

Cessair – In Irish legend, Cessair was the granddaughter of Noah and died in the flood. This name means “sorrow” or “affliction”.

Chip­ – Potato chip? Memory chip? Or Chip, the chipmunk? What do you think must have inspired the parent to pick this moniker?

Das – This Indian name derives from the Sanskrit word Dasa, which means “servant” or “slave”.

Denim – Suede, Poly-Blend, polyester Denim, these ugly baby boy names are just not good names for children.

Dick – We won’t get into details on why we don’t like this name.

Doyle – This Irish name translates to “dark stranger”. Eek!

Dracul – Well, for starters, it’s too close to Dracula for our liking. Even worse than that, it actually means “devil” or “dragon”.

Dugal – Dugal comes from the same origins as Doyle, and therefore also means “dark stranger”.

Elmo – Yes, parents are seriously naming their children after a character from Sesame Street. That’s what we call, a special type of dumb baby name. What would they name the second child? Big Bird?

Gaylord – The poor, little kid will have to fight in the schoolyard daily. This name should just be banned.

Head – Imagine parents discussing with each other, “Did you get Head from school yet?

Huxley – This well-sounding name is of English origin – but it means “inhospitable place”.

Jabez – This Hebrew name means “he makes sorrowful”, and apparently his mother said: “I gave birth to him in pain”.

Jacob – Although Jacob helped to found the 12 tribes of Israel in the bible, the name actually means “supplanter” – which is someone who takes the rightful place of someone else.

James – James is derived from Jacob, which as above means “supplanter”.

Jammy – Some parents thought Jammy was the correct spelling of Jamie. That’s tragic for the child. And tragic parenting as well.

Jolon – This Native American name translates to “valley of the dead oaks”. Not a pretty picture.

Kennedy – As seen in the girl’s list, this unisex name means “deformed head”.

Mallory – Another unisex name mentioned in the girl’s list, this French name means “unfortunate” or “ill-fated”.

Mort – Although it might just be short for Mortimer, this name means “dead” in Old French.

Oleander – It’s not far away from Oliver is it? But it actually means “poisonous flower”. We’d stick to Oliver if we were you.

Phelony – Naming someone Phelony is borderline criminal. The name is apparently a variation of felony, which most of us know what it means.

Phobus – This name sort of makes sense as it means “fear”, similar to the word phobia.

Samael – This Hebrew name means “venom of God” or “blindness of God” and was an archangel in folklore. Yikes!

Satan – Satan is worse than most of the named mentioned here. We thought nobody would even think of naming his or her child, but we were wrong. But some parents had the audacity to give this horrendous name to their child. It just shows how messed up people are these days.

Seaman – When you can have Cruise, why not Seaman? It also sounds like the name of a superhero residing in the ocean.

Shrek – Yes, there are many people named Shrek. And they are in no way green in color.

Tierrainney – This name is so much packed with letters that it will implode on itself.

Teivel – This name is the Yiddish word for “devil”.

Than – Than is a Greek name for “death” – how morbid!

Tristan – This Celtic name has many meanings, but one of them is “sorrowful” or “sad”.

Ubel – In this day and age, your little one may be nicknamed “Uber”, whether you like it or not. Never mind that it actually means “evil”.

Valdis – This is another unisex name which means “the dead”.

Even though some persons have borne these ugly names in the past, there is no need giving them to your children. You may not really like the reactions you may get. Steer clear!
