If you’re getting ready to bring new life into the world, you’re likely already thinking about names.

Perhaps you want to follow the latest trends and give your baby a plant-inspired name, or go for the most popular names right now, or choose something completely unique.

What you probably don’t want is a name that ends up ranked as one of the ‘worst’ in 2019.

So perhaps avoid the names on the list created by parents.com, which has ranked what they say are the worst baby names of the year.

Now, before you panic: If your child’s name is on this list, remember that this is just one expert parenting site’s opinion, and one that you are entirely free to ignore. Just because they don’t like a name doesn’t mean no one will.

And on the bright side, a name on this list isn’t likely to be chosen by loads of other parents, so if you have chosen one for your child they’ll at least avoid being in a classroom with four other kids with the same moniker.

The main lessons to be learned, however, if you want to avoid the scorn of other parents, are to avoid deliberately confusing spellings of traditional names, names of serial killers, and words that are used as slurs. Easy.

And yes, these are indeed names that have been given to babies this year. Seven parents called their children Pinches.

The 'worst' names of 2019:

For boys:

  • Kingmessiah
  • Yugo
  • Cub
  • Axis
  • Manson
  • Pinches
  • Xxayvier
  • Cletus
  • Danger
  • Stylez

For girls:

  • Shy
  • Mattel
  • Cyncere
  • Chardonnay
  • Khaleesi
  • Starlett
  • Blaykelee
  • Any
  • Vegas
  • Pansy

Along with skipping these names, it’s worth looking into any names that are banned in the country where you live.

In the UK there aren’t any official laws about banned names, but authorities will step in if you try to call your baby something offensive, such as a swear word.

Names that have previously been turned down in the UK include Martian, Monkey, Rogue, Akuma (which means devil), and Chow Tow (smelly head).

In France, meanwhile, names including Nutella and Prince William aren’t allowed, while in Australia you can’t call your child Ikea, LOL, Hitler, Spinach, Satan, General, or God. Probably best to avoid those wherever you live.
