What are the worst names you could give a baby boy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello you awesome people,

Friends are having a boy and everyone they know wants to push a name on the child. So I decided to be the best friend they could have and to offer only bad, ugly or horrendous names to the lucky parents so they could have a laugh. I already send them some names and dictators, Smeagol, Steve and Juan-Esteban.

So please, people or Lemmy, give me the worst names you could give a child, so that I can help them as a good friend!

Ps: don't worry, I've already planned some meals to drop off when the gremlin will be there to feed the parents. And some take-out vouchers so they won't get food poisoning

A lot of names are cool but then get ruined with shit like that. I always thought Isis was a beautiful name. But terrorism ruined it.

My neighbor named her dog Isis like the Greek God. It was not timely lol

Also an awesome post metal band Isis. I have a t-shirt of theirs with the lyrics to a song called 'Dying Light' which is about death, the afterlife and reincarnation sorta stuff, needless to say I haven't been able to wear it in many years.
