I named my kid a cross between an instrument and a Dolly Parton song – people say it’s their ‘new favorite awful name’
A BABY’s name has become a topic of discussion online for its relation to both an instrument and a country music star.
People were quick to say on Reddit that the child’s name was their “new favorite awful name.”
Reddit user Anon12109 shared a photo of a baby and its name that caused a stir online.
They shared it with a Reddit group called NameNerdCirclejerk which is meant to “poke fun at awful names and naming culture.”
Apparently, “no name is safe,” when shared in the group.
The post was simple with barely any text, but the picture spoke a thousand words.
The user wrote that the context of the post was from a high school friend who lived in a hippy town in California.
They took a screenshot from the friend’s post on another platform that read: “Her first of many! We love you Banjolene!!!”
The words were also accompanied by a photo of the young child holding a stuffed banjo, while they lay in a bassinet.
An emoji was placed over the baby’s face for anonymity and safety purposes.
It was a cross behind the string instrument known as a banjo, and country music star Dolly Parton’s hit single, “Jolene.”
People could not help but talk about the baby’s name in the comments.
“Don’t worry they can call her BJ for short,” one Reddit user teased.
“I don’t like Jolene, but that’d have been a way better option!” another added.
“That’s my new favorite awful name,” someone bluntly stated.
“This is “so bad it’s almost amazing” territory,” a group member chimed in.
