Just for fun: names that are off-limits

I almost named my son Elon. Soooo glad I didn’t given the complicated character that is Elon Musk

Also, Katrina because of the hurricane

I lived in the Middle East for several years and met lots of Osamas, but all of them were extremely sweet!

I have a friend from the Philippines named…Rona.

Virginia for some reason always makes me think of vagina

Did anyone watch the show Flipping Out with Jeff Lewis? He had an employee named Vanina….I’d never choose that

Oh, and Ghislaine!

Any stripper names ending in “y”
-Brandy, Carly, Tiffany, etc

Lucas. I know it’s so popular now but makes me think of Mucus.

Utter trash.

I did my student teaching in 2006, and there was a girl named Isis in one of the classes. I remember her so well because when she introduced herself to me, she said, "My name is Isis, like the Egyptian goddess." She would be 30 now. I think about her sometimes and wonder about if she's changed her name.

Names that end in:

-ayden
-ella
-ailey
-ylie
-son
-xon
-xton

40s/50s names. I know they're so popular now and some of them are just adorable, but I couldn't name my own kid Mabel/Myrtle/Oliver/Hank. Yes, I know a toddler Myrtle, I think because of Harry Potter, and it's just awful and don't know why you'd do that to your child.

I'm sure she hasn't, it's a beautiful name.

Wayne and Keith. Two of the most spineless men I ever met were named Wayne and Keith. They’re also just ugly names.
