The stupidest and potentially meanest names.

Full of names that are horrible, both for teasing and just horrible in general, (such as Hi, Bloodrayne, Kinda, etc.) Who names their kids these names?!
  1. Bar
    • Description:

      Bar is a feminine name with multicultural roots and concise elegance. In Hebrew, it means 'pure' or 'grain,' and holds significance in Israeli culture where it's used for both genders, though more commonly for girls. The name also appears in various cultures with different meanings: in Celtic traditions, it relates to 'height' or 'summit,' while in Turkish it can mean 'existence.' Bar's simplicity gives it a modern, minimalist appeal that works well internationally. In Israel, notable namesakes include actress Bar Refaeli, which has increased its recognition globally. Despite its brevity, Bar carries cultural depth and spiritual significance. The name remains uncommon in Western countries but has seen steady usage in Israel. Its short form enables easy pronunciation across languages while maintaining its distinctive character.

  2. Bean
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "an immature bean pod used as a vegetable"
    • Description:

      The unisex word name Bean, distant cousin of the infamous Apple, was used for the name of a child of mysterious gender in Louise Penny's novel "A Rule Against Murder." While we can imagine Bean as a cute nickname for a yet-unnamed and unborn baby, we don't recommend it for real life.
  3. Bloodrayne
    • Do
      • Feel
        • Description:

          Feel is an unconventional masculine name with uncertain etymological origins. It may have evolved as a variant of Philip (lover of horses) or possibly derived from the English word 'feel,' relating to sensation or emotion. As a given name, Feel is extremely rare across English-speaking countries, with virtually no documented usage in mainstream records. The name's uniqueness may appeal to parents seeking something distinctive and evocative. However, its unusual nature and potential association with the common English verb might present practical challenges for a child. Unlike similar-sounding names like Phil or Felix, Feel has not established itself in contemporary naming trends.

      • Hi
        • Description:

          Hi as a given name is extremely rare and unconventional. It may function more as a nickname or abbreviated form of names like Hiram, Hideo, or Hiroshi. In some East Asian cultures, particularly Chinese, characters that might be romanized as 'Hi' could have specific meanings depending on the original character. As a standalone given name in Western contexts, Hi would be highly unusual and might present practical challenges due to its brevity and its common usage as a greeting in English. The name's simplicity might appeal to parents seeking minimalism or uniqueness, though its everyday use as a greeting word could potentially create confusion. Due to its rarity as a given name, there are few cultural or historical associations attached to it.

      • Kinda
        • My
          • Origin:

            Swedish diminutive of Maria
          • Meaning:

            "bitter; wished-for child"
          • Description:

            Although the sound is pretty, "my" is too common of an English word for My to be usable as a baby name in Anglophone countries.
        • Philadelphia
          • Origin:

            Greek place-name
          • Meaning:

            "brotherly love"

            Place-name mentioned in the New Testament and not yet on the name map. Philadelphia Thursday was the character played by Shirley Temple in John Ford's 1948 "Fort Apache."
        • Philadelphia
          • Origin:

            Greek place-name
          • Meaning:

            "brotherly love"
          • Description:

        • Pom
          • Origin:

            French diminutive
          • Meaning:

            "apple"
          • Description:

            Pom is a shortened word name that's not much used in France, but cute and familiar here as one of Babar (the Elephant's) triplets. Pom, pommy and pommie are (non-derogatory) terms sometimes used by Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans to denote a person of English heritage.
        • Saaid
          • Description:

            Saaid is a masculine name of Arabic origin, typically a variant spelling of Said (سعيد) which means 'happy,' 'fortunate,' or 'blessed.' This beautiful name has been used throughout the Islamic world for centuries and carries positive connotations of joy and good fortune. The variation in spelling (Saaid, Sa'id, Saeed, etc.) often reflects different transliteration systems from Arabic to Latin script. The name appears in various Muslim communities globally and honors a tradition of meaningful names reflecting positive aspirations for children. While not among the most common Arabic names in Western countries, Saaid represents cultural heritage while being relatively straightforward for non-Arabic speakers to pronounce, making it accessible across linguistic boundaries.

        • Sunshine
          • Origin:

            Word name
          • Description:

            Sunshine was seen as a quintessential hippie name of the 70s, reaching as high as Number 536 in 1975. Now such names are making a bit of a retro comeback, seen, for example, as a character on Glee.
