Depreshaun\u00a0(deh-pruh-SHAHN)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seems like this choice is just setting your child up to be at least a little down in the dumps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe said his drunk aunt was entrusted with naming him, but given his socioeconomic background he had a 98% chance of walking away with a unique<\/em> name no matter who picked it,\u201d wrote user Wheeler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hellzel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taking a beautiful, old-fashioned name and putting a\u2026 modern\u2026 twist on it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccording to her, her mother liked Hazel but her dad was a biker and loved hells angels, so they came up with this mess,\u201d from user oh_sneeseus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019adorher\u00a0(I-Adore-Her)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A name that will truly show your daughter just how much you care about her every time the teachers call the roll in class:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI knew a girl named I\u2019adorher. Pronounced \u201cI adore her.\u201d She was really nice,\u201d wrote user JOHNOLIVER2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashole\u00a0(ASH-a-LEE)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one we\u2019re just going to chalk up to some kind of post-delivery mistake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBack in the 90s a family in my town wanted to name their child Ashley but wanted a unique spelling. Without thinking, they spelled it Ashole, and of course, that is just one letter off\u2026\u201d from user playing_the_angel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phelony\u00a0(FELL-on-E)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Setting your child up for a life of crime? Or just seeing beauty in an unexpected place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA girl I knew had her third baby, a girl. She named her daughter Phelony. Yes\u2026 that is felony with a PH. Poor kid,\u201d from user HellenaBucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vejonica\u00a0(Va-JOHN-ica)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some names lend themselves well to being combined into one. But then again some do not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA friend of my sister-in-law worked in a maternity ward and she saw a kid named after her grandparent, named John and Veronica. Her name was Vejonica,\u201d from user GreenValleyWideRiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019munique\u00a0(I\u2019m-uniKEEK)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because what is better than a unique name\u2026 a name that literally reinforces your child\u2019s uniqueness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logan Wolverine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What better way to celebrate your love of comic books\/television\/movies\/pop culture than by naming your child after it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI knew a guy in high school who lived down the street. He named his kid Logan Wolverine because the guy\u2019s favorite comic book character was Wolverine. The dad was really into the character,\u201d said user DeniseDeNephew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jammy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It really is okay to turn to Google if need be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
