Naming your baby is a momentous task for parents, because after all, it's what they'll be known as for their entire life.
Everyone has their own personal preferences and you can only hope others will find your choice as charming as you do.
Mumsnet decided to stir the pot and ask its users what names they particularly dislike.
The resulting list of the top 'worst' names for girls is sure to stir up some strong feelings, especially given some are quite ordinary or popular, the Mirror reported.
All the choices choices were revealed on Mumsnet after the site posed the question: "What would you never name a child and why?"
People gave explanations for why their picks are so undesirable and some are just bizarre.
And the mums did not hold back...
1. Mia – Because it means "missing in action".
2. Lana – As spelt backwards, it looks rather rude.
3. Fanny – "For obvious reasons".
4. Grace – Because "there are very few accents that say it gracefully".
5. Amelia – As one mum "find(s) the 'me' so whiney".
6. Graham – As "it sounds like "Grey Ham'".
7. Flora – One mum admitted: "(it) makes me think of bacteria".
8. Alexa – Because it sounds too much like the virtual assistant.
9. Mercedes – A parent said: "She’s a child not a car".
10. Luna – Because "it's a pet name".
What's most surprising about the so-called worst baby names is that three of them actually feature in the top 10 most popular baby names for 2022 so far, proving that people certainly aren't being put off.
According to BabyCenter, Olivia is the most popular girls' name this year, closely followed by Emma and Amelia - which doesn't sound so whiney now, does it mums?
Mia features as seventh most popular and Luna in eighth, which really just goes to show that everyone will have an opinion, but that doesn't mean anyone will actually agree with them.
