Most parents put in a lot of time and effort coming up with the perfect baby name for their son or daughter. They make sure it sounds good with the last name, is relatively easy to spell and pronounce and some even make sure the initials don’t spell anything crazy… but not these parents!

We know celebrities are fond of weird baby names, such as magician Penn Jillette who named his daughter Moxie Crimefighter, or actor Jason Lee who named his son Pilot Inspektor. However, bad baby names aren’t just for celebs!

You named him what?

The website ancestry.com scoured names from the U.S. Census Bureau to come up with this list of truly bad baby names that were actually given to babies. All we can say is — what were the parents thinking?

An Egyptian couple took actually named their daughter Facebook, to honor the role that the social media site had on the revolution of Egypt. Another social media obsessed couple named their baby girl Hashtag. The only thing I have to say about that is #crazy.

In New Zealand, you have submit your chosen baby name for approval — which may be a good thing judging by the names they wouldn’t allow. They banned parents from naming their child Lucifer, 4real and (saving the best for last) — Anal. Names that have been approved include the very normal names of Violence and Midnight Chardonnay.
