Parenting site shares list of 100 'worst' baby names ever - and it's controversial

Many mums and dads will enjoy reading the top 100 most popular baby name lists each year as name registration data is collected and we can see which monikers are proving a hit with parents and are deemed the 'best'. But often we don't get to see which names aren't doing quite so well.

As such one parenting site seems to have come up with their own list of 'worst' baby names you could give your little one. The team over at Emma's Diary, shared their thoughts on the top 100 'worst' baby names of all time - and the list will likely prove rather controversial.

The 'worst' names list was originally shared last year, but has recently resurfaced online. As previously reported, it was only intended to be a bit of fun and not meant to cause any offence.

It features a number of names more commonly associated with other items such as Flora, Maybelline, Chardonnay - while some seem like perfectly fine names, but were included for their unusual spellings.

There are also names in the list that are associated with songs (Alice, Alice, who the f*** is Alice), while others, like Boris, are associated with high profile people and need no further explanation.

Here's a look at what could possibly be the top 100 'worst' baby names, with 50 for girls and 50 for boys - do you agree with the list?
