Our neighbours named their little girl this, and I thought, that's not so bad, then I found out it's more commonly a boy's name. Brutal. You just made your son a punching bag. Well done. Maybe by Highschool he can convince people his name is just Jay. Name him Jason next time.
My friend's mom is an elementary school teacher. She has a kid, can't remember his name, but his parents spell it with periods between the letters, such as S.t.e.v.e. They get mad at her for not making their son spell his name with the 'dots' as they put it. Brutal.
Worst guy name I saw was "Harry Ball". Hate female name Gertie/Gertrude. Not a fan of unisex names, like Chris, Tracy, Stacy, Aaron/Erin, Leslie, etc.
Oh . I guess I can change my name. I'm thinking Max Power or Trent Steel. It's not really unisex when it has it's own spelling for male and female versions.
Literally the worst is when parents name their kids after the different seasons. I can't remember what show I was watching, but the parents named their 4 girls Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.
Seriously, what happens when you have 3 girls, and then the 4th is a boy. You would have Spring, Summer, Fall and Michael (or whatever).
I know of three couples in the past year who have had a son named Harrison. I'm neutral on the name, just thought it was an interesting trend.

Any name that dooms your little girl to a life as a stripper or escort. When you're naming your child please try to imagine them applying for a business loan or chairing a board meeting, at least give them a fighting chance.

We want to encourage girls named Summer. Strip clubs can't survive without them.
I hate ridiculous names. Parker is one that comes to mind. I can't even think it without thinking of the Spiderman cartoon. "PARKER!!!" Eden, Drayton, Cole.....

I'm a little confused. It's a girl? I don't think Jayden is overly masculine, feminine or unique to the point anybody is going to get beat up over it. If I tell you I think it's more commonly a girl's name would you like it again?
Yeah, it's been mentioned, the "unique" names. switching i's with y's gets to me.
On the same theme as L-sa. I heard of a case in the States where social workers tried to stop a mom from naming her daughter Latrine. Pretty sure she will get pissed on once she hits grade one.
There are some unfortunate last names out there too. Know a girl, last name Bullcock. Man Jr high would have been tough.

It's in Freakonomics. A lot of black people try to name their kids Latrina, Latrine, etc.

I switched gears when talking about how it's more commonly a boys name. Boys named Jayden have a girly name. And yes, it now kills that name for girls, because they have a girly boy name. Like Lindsay, or Erin, they would have been fine girls names if they didn't get used for boys (Aaron and Lindsey) all the time.
I was watching "Say Yes to the Dress" a few weeks ago (hey, I'm a girl, I get to watch crap like that) and the bride's name was Duvet. Yes, like the blanket. According to her mother, she named her daughter Duvet "because I wanted her to grow up to be warm and comforting".
I keep getting asked if we've picked out names for our daughter (due in December) and my standard response now is "Duvet, I want her to be warm and comforting" - just to see the look on people's faces.
