Bad baby names

It's probably a good thing I didn't come across this before we decided on Audrey's name. Not because there'd have been any danger of us adopting any of the wonderfully weird baby names contained therein, but because I'd have been in danger of being murdered by Tiffany for saying "Hey, how about..." one time too many. Prepare to waste a little too much time reading through this site. You have been warned.

There's a VH1 TV show on awsomely wacky baby names:

And, of course, someone out there is doing a blog on celebrity baby names:

A someone who has grown up with an unusual name "Larissa" I often get 1) people asking where it came from (parents watching the 1960 Summer Olympics, it was the name of a gymnast from Russia), 2) how to spell it, and 3) at least it isn't too wierd of a name compared to others. There is an advantage as an adult, many people know me simply by my first name, but as a child I HATED it, and wanted to change my name to Ann.
