Last year, we collectively cradled our heads in our hands with dismay when we read the list of terrible baby names encountered by nurses (“Cinderella Princess” and “Damoney” among them.) But we’ve just heard of a new list of unfortunate modern-day monikers for newborns — and we really, really hope this list doesn’t become mainstream.
The absolute worst are the top 10… watch the video above to see them all.
The Independent has published a list of names, as voted by Reddit users, of the worst new-age baby names around. Among them: Girls’ names such as “Aliviyah” (Pronounced ‘Olivia’) and “Little Sweetmeat”… the latter of which has a completely NSWF urban dictionary meaning.
(And don’t even get us started on “Beberly”. We pity the child who has to spent the next 90 years explaining that no, that “B” is not a typo.)
And a few others suggested by the Reddit community, in no particular order: Female (pronounced “fem-ah-lee”), Prettiestgirl, Dylin Nikole, Dayvidd, LaPrincessa, Promise, Dasani and Alize.
What happened to good old Emily and James, eh?
What are the worst modern baby names you’ve heard?

I would bet money that Beberly is of Spanish-speaking background. I believe the B and V sounds are identical in Spanish. So if she's living in an area with a lot of other Spanish speakers, it might not be as huge a deal as you may think. I'd rather be Beberly than Little Sweetmeat or Prettiestgirl.
Same in the Greek alphabet --> the letter Β β Beta, said as a 'v' sound.
