The worst, most humiliating baby namesAncestry.com shares the silliest, craziest and downright cruelest names of all time
What would compel a parent to bestow a newborn with a name like “Tiny Hooker” or “Fanny Large”? Or an amusing choice like “Wanna Towell"? It’s not just Hollywood’s elite opting for unique, embarrassing names—throughout history, normal people separated their offspring from the masses with truly terrible names.
In “Bad Baby Names,” Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback, of the genealogy Web site Ancestry.com, share thousands of shocking names given to real people, as recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau. Discover the funny names based around common themes, like diseases (Fever Bender, Cholera Peace), food (Bread White, Pomegranate Purple), pets (Good Dog), and if you thought Wednesday Addams was unfortunate—wait till you meet Monday Monday.

The woman who married my great-grandfather after my great-grandmother died was named Flora Meadows.
These parents need to be slapped silly, who name their kids like that to be teased for their whole life. I have Dr. Payne and Dr. Hertz. Cousin with the last name of Wall, first name "Brick". Cousin with last name of Wood, first name BURNS. SHEESH! lol. Thanks for the laughs!
My biological paternal grandpa's name was Harry Pitts. lol, he may even be the guy in question from West Virginia since my family is from Virginia and some are West Virginia.
