I’m a nursery worker and these are the baby names I can’t stand – the creative ones are the worst
WE ALL think we’ve chosen the perfect name for our little darlings, but it seems that not everyone agrees.
A nursery worker has revealed the baby names she can’t stand and some of them may surprise you.
Taking to Reddit, the anonymous woman shared her thoughts on some of the names that have passed through her doors in recent years.
Captioning her post she wrote, “I work at a childcare centre. Here’s the worst names I have come across.”
Starting the list was Braxtyn for a boy closely followed by Eshleigh, not to be confused with Ashleigh, for a girl.
Wesleigh and Addalynn were the next offending girl names and bizarrely the name Satchel for a boy made it onto the list.
Unusual and creative spellings were also one of the woman’s bugbears with Aliss (pronounced Alice), Aydrien, Chosyn, Payshence and Suttyn also featuring.
The last monkiers to feature, both boy names, were Dutton and Trucker.
Fellow Redditors were equally horrified by the baby names, sharing their thoughts in the comments.
One wrote: “Patience is a gorgeous name, it doesn’t deserve to be butchered like that!”
“I’m running out of Payshence for these dumb Truckers,” joked another, while a third wrote, “Whoever thought that adding a ‘y’ could make a name so ugly.”
Meanwhile fellow educators were quick to share their own name horror stories.
One commented: “When I was an early childhood educator, I knew five girls named Nova.”
“We had twins one year named Angel Heavens and Heavens Angel (at a preschool I used to work at),” another revealed.
