Really?

When it comes to picking a name for our baby, most of us go with names we love. Or maybe ones that have meaning or tradition behind it.

To others again, I reckon, it is all about the novelty factor – they want a moniker that makes their child stand out in a crowd. And some parents use the opportunity to experiment with names that aren’t quite – ahem – standard.

But how far is too far?

Here’s a list of the worst baby names you should never give your child, according to Reddit users.

1. Champion

@thewildfapper said the worst name they’d heard was Champion. ‘I swear to God he was my classmate,’ the user added.

2. Strawberry Rain

@captainmagictrousers: ‘My coworker names her baby “Strawberry rain”. Which would be a great baby name if she had given birth to a bottle of shampoo.’

3. Dabien

@Forestofoz: ‘Dabien, think Damien but with a B’.

4. Pain
