Popular parenting site releases list of the 20 worst baby names for 2019

A popular parenting website have released a list of the 20 worst baby names of 2019.

Parents have been choosing some very strange names for their children this year it seems which was the main reason behind parenting site, Parents.com compiling the list.

It isn't great news for any Game of Thrones or X-Men fans as Khaleesi and Xxayvier are in the top 20 - an unusual way of spelling Professor Charles 'X' Xavier from X-Men.

Manson also makes the list, which has unfortunate links to killer Charles Manson, while the list also features Yugo, like the old car.

Axis makes the list (middle name 'OfEvil?) along with Mattel, a great name for Barbie Girls,  DevonLive reports.
