I'm a nurse and here's the worst baby name I have ever heard – it's so bad it keeps me awake at night
WE'VE all put on a false smile when we've heard a baby name that gives us the ick.
However, even the most po-faced of people would struggle to keep a straight face after hearing this moniker.

A nurse has revealed the very worst baby name she has ever heard, claiming that it still keeps her up at night.
'Richie Rich Putin,' wrote the disgusted Reddit user from Germany, adding that labor and delivery nurses at a local birthing center had recently deemed it the the 'worst name' to ever curse the cradle.
It's a 'creative' combination of actor
'I used to think the name laws are more strict [in Germany] than in other countries,' wrote the Redditor.

'The city will decide whether the name you chose is an actual name or the child will be bullied for it.'
However, this particularly unusual title clearly fell through the cracks.
'Just felt like I had to share that while lying awake thinking about my soon-to-be-born child's name,' she added.
Fellow redditors were equally horrified, sharing their thoughts in the comments.

'Do parents really hate their child that much? Or do they think it's funny and don't think it through for the kid's future?,' questioned a concerned commenter.
'That poor child,' another sighed. 'Can you imagine all oligarch bootlicking that must go on in its home?'
Channel 4 star horrifies fans as she reveals 'truly awful' baby names ahead of birth of second child
Sadly, side-eye-worthy baby names are currently en vogue among expecting moms worldwide.
Be they Disney-inspired handles such as 'Snow White' and 'Se7en Simba,' or geographically-influenced names à la 'Elae' — pronounced LA, like the abbreviation for Los Angeles, California.
Emma Hutton, who crowned her daughter Elae, doesn't seem to understand why haters have a hard time embracing the unconventional name.
'I know everyone's not going to like it. I know it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea,' Hutton barked in a viral vid. 'But I like different names.'
'It's 2025,' she added. 'I didn't know that people wouldn't be able to understand basic English.'

The struggle of choosing a baby name
CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name...
At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name.
The dilemmas are endless...
My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could - partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we'd only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two.
How wrong we were...
I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I'd already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I've had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top
With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can't help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it's something that none of them would mind in the slightest - it's a total me problem!
The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby?
It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always mixed...and I don't want to be THAT person.
While some will argue there's thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR favourite...after all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby.
Then there's also the issue of finding a name you adore...only to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can't shake off.
I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won't reveal it because I don't want to ruin it for others!) ...only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead.
So, back to the drawing board we went..
Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as 'baby gal' for a little while longer!

I was replaced on the BBC by Gary Lineker and haven't spoken to him since, I knew he was the wrong man in the wrong job
GARY LINEKER was the wrong man to present the BBC's live golf coverage, claims the man he replaced. Steve Rider, who 3 Gary Lineker previously hosted the BBC's golf coverage Credit: Getty 3 Steve Rider hung up his mic over the weekend Credit: Getty With Rider, now 75, having presented the BBC's live golf coverage prior to his exit, the Corporation opted to replace him with Match of the Day host Lineker. Rider initially kept quiet about his replacement, until in 2015 when Lineker took a swipe at the R&A in St Andrews. The former Lineker called the R&A "pompous" and "superior" - which Rider took issue with. READ MORE ON GARY LINEKER The veteran presenter called Lineker at the time "the wrong man in the wrong job", before adding: "Gary was honest enough to step aside from the golf, but his attack on the R&A was sour and misguided in the extreme." Rider has now claimed that Lineker "blundered" into politics during an interview with the Reflecting on the presenter's controversial BBC exit, Rider added: "To put forward his opinions so energetically, you need to step outside the framework of the BBC. "That message was never convincingly conveyed to him by the BBC, and that's where they are at fault.

He needed to be saved from himself. So, there was a kind of inevitability about it." Rider has not spoken to Lineker since criticising his swipe at the R&A a decade ago. Legendary BBC and ITV commentator retires after glittering 48-year career as sporting icons say goodbye During his stint with the BBC, Rider hosted Sports Personality of the Year alongside Des Lynam. Taking aim at the current incarnation of SPOTY, the outgoing ITV stalwart said: "The commercial aspect took over. "The thinking was, 'Let's take it to a 5,000-seat arena with a big shiny floor'. It killed the chemistry. "Unfortunately, this happened just as the BBC's involvement in sport started declining. "Now it's very, very uncomfortable to see. It's not the type of programme you would invent now. "It has become a bit of a ball and chain.'
