Name: Apple
I hardly like to count celebrities as reasonable people, but come on! I have to admit that I’m not a fan of nouns that aren’t commonly used as names as names, but especially if it’s something that’s socially acceptable to eat. True, celebrity children will never bear the onus of normal social interaction, but it’s still not a nice name…
Name: Americus
Okayyyy this one might be from a movie, but you know at least one person has actually named their child Americus after Americus Nation. Bottom Line: Good movie, but not a good example of a name…
Name: Adolf Hitler
This one seems like it should be a given… but not to the parents of this unfortunate little boy:
He made the news in 2008 when shoprite refused to print his name on a birthday cake.

Name: Hooker
Again, I really know a child who is named Hooker. He’s a special needs child, and it kind of pisses me off actually. Seriously why would you do that?
Name: Cashport
Believe it or not, I didn’t pull this name out of my butt. There is actually a child who comes into my place of employment named “Cashport”
Does this one really need more explanation than “just no?”
Name: Bubba
Ok, I have to be fair, as a nickname for a baby, this could be cute, but it should not be a child’s legal name. Once you get past age 8 it loses the cute factor and starts to conjure up images of creepy old hillbillies.
