I’m a pre-K teacher & 2 of my kids have the ‘worst names ever’ – the monikers basically mean ‘promiscuous’ & ‘smelly’
UNIQUE names can help someone stand out but are often a double-edged sword.
A too-unique of a name, and you can stand out too much.
Redditor Comprehensive_Age471, an educator, shared the worst names she’d encountered at work.
“I’m a pre-school teacher, so I come across plenty of strange names, obviously,” she said.
She explained that she couldn’t hold her tongue anymore after seeing some of the worst names she’d ever seen.
“I have come across what I think are the worst names ever,” she said.
“Jezabella and Musk. Both are little girls, and both of the words have the WORST meaning ever, especially for girls.
“I mean Musk?? Doesn’t that literally mean smelly, and a Jezabel is basically a wh**e?”
She added that many parents have the wrong intentions with their unique name ideas.
“I just felt like this belonged in this group, and I needed to get it off my chest because, my god, some parents just need to get a pet and name them something stupid, not a child,” she said.
Outraged commenters shared similar grievances with unique names they’d come across in the wild.
“My son went to school with a kid called Diesel,” said one commenter.
“Nasty kid, too. In kindergarten, he bit my son through his SHOE.”
“My next-door neighbor has a Diesel,” replied one viewer.
“But I think it’s a perfect name for him because he’s a pit bull, NOT A HUMAN CHILD.”

“Diesel is a great name for a GOAT on my mother-in-law’s ranch,” added another.
“He was bottle-fed as a kid; super sweet (neutered) boy.”
Others shared strange names they encountered in school.
“I once met a girl at school named Arson,” said one commenter.
“That’s silly. The feminine version should be Ardaughter,” joked a replier.
“Oaklie Juice. They nicknamed her OJ,” said another.
“Some chick I knew named her kids Danger, Mayhem, and Chaos,” added one exasperated commenter.
