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
The nurse assumed that the baby name wouldn't be legal OH BABY 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. 1 A maternity nurse has revealed the worst baby name she has ever heard Credit: Getty 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 Macaulay Culkin's 1990s classic film 'Richie Rich,' and the last name of Russian president, Vladimir Putin. '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.' This story was originally published on the NY Post and has been republished here with permission

This story was originally published on the 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 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 all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby. Then there's also the issue of finding a name you 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!

This is the ‘No. 1 worst baby name' ever, according to nurses: ‘It keeps me up at night'
Now, this is just Putin a target on the baby's back. Newborns, defenseless little lambs lacking agency and autonomy, often get stuck with nonsensical names. But this tot's title is the commander-in-chief of all infant-naming nightmares. 3 A woman claims nurses in Germany have ranked 'Richie Rich Putin' the absolute worst baby name ever. TommyStockProject – 'Richie Rich Putin,' wrote a disgusted Reddit user from Germany, adding that labor and delivery nurses at a local birthing center had recently deemed it the No. 1 'worst name' to ever curse the cradle. It's a kooky combination of actor Macaulay Culkin's 1990s classic film 'Richie Rich,' and the last name of Russian president, Vladimir Putin. 'I used to think the name laws are more strict [in Germany] than in other countries,' said the cyber whistleblower. 'The city will decide whether the name you chose is an actual name or the child will be bullied for it.' But little Richie Rich Putin, clearly, fell through the cracks. 3 The outraged Reddit user was stunned that the government allowed the baby's parent to give it such a troubling name. SalmanArif – 'Just felt like I had to share that while lying awake thinking about my soon to be born child's name,' carped the cringing mommy-to-be. Sickened social media scowlers shared her shock. 3 Globally, new moms and dads are becoming creative when choosing names for their newborns. Iryna – '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?' 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 — ultramodern parents are picking increasingly peculiar appellations for their pups. Emma Hutton, the UK-based mother 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.'

This mum is livid as no one can pronounce her daughter's unusual name
A mum has gone viral after revealing no one can pronounce her daughter's unusual name – stating even her doctor gets it wrong. Emma Hutton, 35, says 'nobody can understand' the name she's given to her youngest child, declaring that the unusual moniker 'is not that hard' to get right. The British mum-of-two named her one-year-old daughter Elae – pronounced LA – because she didn't want her bub to be 'boring'. But she's become increasingly frustrated that people, even intelligent adults like doctors, can't get their heads around how to say it. 'People still don't know how to read my daughter's name,' she vented in a recent TikTok video captioned: 'It's really not that hard.' 'It's 2025, I didn't know that people wouldn't be able to understand Basic English.' The furious mother, who lives in Sheffield – about 3.5 hours north of London, went on to explain she had just been to see her GP who had incorrectly pronounced Elae's name, before realising their mistake. 'He pronounced it wrong, again, he called her Ellie,' she explained. 'Then he just looked at me and went, 'I've pronounced it wrong haven't I?' 'Yeah, it's pronounced like the city, but he gave me a blank look.' She then went on to explain how to say Elae's name correctly, stating it is said in the same way as 'the city of Los Angeles'. But social media weren't very understanding, instead arguing that Ms Hutton should have chosen a more conventional spelling if she wanted to avoid confusion. 'If people decide to spell names a little 'different', don't get mad at those trying to pronounce it. We try,' one responded to the viral clip. 'It's not their fault, it's yours. Why don't people get it?' another agreed. As someone else mused: 'I would pronounce it 'ee – lay'.' 'If it was pronounced ELL-AY that's how it would be spelt, it's phonetically incorrect sorry,' said someone else. 'Sorry I mispronounced the weird name you made up,' scoffed one. While one clapped back: 'If everyone is making a mistake, do you think maybe that's more of a you problem than everyone else problem?' 'It looks like a made up name. I get it with your accent but most would say Ellie. Is it made up with that spelling? If so you can't really get annoyed with people,' argued another. Others were more sympathetic, stating it was a 'beautiful' name and sharing their own struggles with alternative names. 'I have this with my daughters name too, her names Beau pronounced Bo not boo or bew,' one shared. 'My daughter is Tasia (like Asia with the Tay sound at the front) she gets called Tasha,' explained another. 'Same as my daughter they pronounce it Zay-lia and her name is pronounced Zay-la (her name is spelt ZAILA,' one chipped in. Ms Hutton's rant comes after millions viewed a previous video in January in which she explained that 'people don't understand' Elae's name. 'I've had people say that they feel sorry for my child, or that I've set her up for a lifetime of bullying,' the young mum, who works as a nail technician, told The Sun at the time. 'They've called me a chav, or [say] that I've tried to win a competition for the world's weirdest name. 'I honestly couldn't care less, but I find it so strange that grown adults feel the need to share their horrible negative thoughts on a child. 'I would never comment on a mum's post telling her I think her baby's name is stupid and horrible.' The 2025 Australian Baby Names report, compiled by McCrindle's, recently revealed parents are turning their backs on 'traditional' names, instead choosing shorter versions, and names featuring fewer syllables. 'After surveying different generations of parents and those planning to become parents across the nation, we found there is a preference for unique names over traditional ones,' the report found. 'This trend is being driven by younger generations, who are embracing unique names more than any generation before them.' As a result, classic names such as Michael, Charles and Quinn have completely fallen out of favour after once being very popular choices.
