Okay, we want to say right up front that nobody should get insulted here. One person’s Myrtle is another person’s…..Helga. Or Taffy. Or Renesmee.
A very entertaining name game on our message board challenges players to pick the worst name ever from a series of pairs. Irma or Moxie? Hortense or Murgatroyd?
What do YOU think is the worst name ever, and why? One of my worst-evers is Bertha, maybe because my poor misguided grandmother changed her name to that from the lovely Bridget because of anti-Irish prejudice. And to Linda, almost any sound with the -erv sound is like fingernails on a blackboard.
C’mon. Hit us with your worst shot.
