'Worst' baby names revealed by parenting website including some common ones

A parenting website has revealed its list of the 'worst' baby names, including quite a few common ones.

Emma's Diary, a pregnancy and baby advice website for mums, shared what it believes to be the worst names for new parents to pick for their child - and it is bound to ruffle some feathers.

Included on the list are common names in the UK such as George, Brian and Alice.

They make an appearance alongside more unusual names like Inspektor, Legend, L’Oreal and Tu Morrow.

On its website, Emma's Diary states: "Naming your baby can be one of the hardest things to do because there are so many names to choose from and everyone seems to have an opinion."

It continues: "There are some bad baby names out there.

"So, we have put together a list of what some may think are the worst names you could call your baby, but, remember; if you love a name then it doesn’t matter what we think.

As reported by The Mirror, Emma's Diary doesn't intend for the list to be taken seriously - though that perhaps won't stop the Aimees, Floras and Georges from taking offence.
