List of 'worst' baby names of 2019 is out including Danger and Mattel

Choosing a name for your child is probably one of the biggest and most difficult decisions a parent can ever make.

You might want a unique name for your baby but one that's not too popular.

Your family might want a name that reflects your culture or heritage - but you may really not like it.

Names can be divisive and people will either love the name you've chosen or hate it, the Mirror reports.

Popular parenting website Parents.com has put together a list of names they feel 'carry more of a negative meaning than some well-meaning parents may realise'.

Names include Mattel and Chardonnay for girls and Manson and Danger with the site adding: "Unless you're giving birth to the next Austin Powers, not sure this name [Danger] belongs anywhere near a birth certificate."

Game of Thrones character Khaleesi is also on the list along with Cletus plus some very creative spelling of Blaykelee and Xxayvier.
