I don't know about worst name but I don't like the super kreeyative spellings for common names.
I'm going to go with a dark horse candidate for worst birth month and say August. Kids are either amongst the oldest (if you redshirt) or the youngest (if you don't) in their grade. People are always on vacation this month so it's hard to get people to come to your birthday party. It's balls hot and there are no automatic three day weekends for federal holidays. |

It's got to be what the one Duggar couple named their kid -- Spurgeon.
Otherwise, for boys I'd say "U" names like Eugene, Hubert. For girls, low class boyish names like Peyton, Presley. December is worst month if it's too close to xmas. But from a child's point of view, I remember hating my summertime birthday. I never seemed to have a big birthday party like kids during the school year. |

We were watching basketball the other night, and one of the players was named Charlie Brown.
Why would you do that to your child? |

January is the worst month. Mine is late January. I've had many a birthday dinner/party/get together cancelled b/c of snow or ice. It's still the post-holiday let down. No one is in the mood to celebrate. At least they pushed the Superbowl back a week - that always used to over shadow my birthday.
My brother has a mid-December birthday and he always thought all the Christmas spirit was nice. It feels special. |

Some of the names being mentioned might be more native or common in their country of origin. It's when it's anglicized or being used around here where it might sound funny. There's a current basketball player named Isiah Thomas. I thought that he might've been some relation to the basketball player from the 80s and 90s. But then heard on the radio other day that he was named Isiah due to his dad losing a bet when the Pistons were playing the Bulls or something like that. Really? Being willing to name your kid from losing a bet?! But I guess the kid lived up to his name and made it to the NBA. So maybe it helped. |

I know a woman who named her kids atom and zero (twin boys). Cruel.
December is the worst month to be born, by far. My niece is dec 27 and everyone's over it after all the Christmas fun. I have feb, march, may and September kids. Feb and march were my favorite- still chilly so those first few weeks were just snuggling and getting to know one another, and by the time Memorial Day rolled around I was bikini ready. May was hard. I had two older kids (2 and 3) who wanted to and deserved to get out of the house. Nothing like being at the pool with your newborn nursing 24/7 and trying to care for other kids while feeling like a bleeding leaking beached whale. |

Not sure on the worst first name. But I would hate to have a stripper-like name.
I would hate to be born in December and January. DH and I wouldn't TTC a baby born in those months. He's an early January baby and it is really hard on him. |

Gosh, due with a baby any day now - didn't know it was such a terrible time!
On being a November baby: my birthday is routinely sandwiched between Halloween and Election Day, and sometimes is overshadowed as a result. Also, I was in DCPS when the cutoff was later (I think mid or end of November) and I was always SO young. Never a disadvantage for me academically, but it's a little awkward to be the only seventeen year old in a class of graduating HS seniors. |
