Worst kids names

Picking a name for your child is a big deal—unless you’re one of those parents who treat baby naming like an Olympic event for originality. Somewhere out there, kids named Braydynn and Jaxxyn are living proof that vowels and consonants can be shuffled like a bad game of Scrabble. These are the worst kids names and most hilariously bad spellings ever gifted to a new human, courtesy of parents who never considered that, one day, someone might actually have to pronounce them in public.

Welcome to a list of 50 kids names so outrageously spelled and questionably creative that even substitute teachers have nightmares. You’ll see everything from classic names ruined by rogue “y”s to spelling choices that could bankrupt a monogram shop. Whether it’s Kaelyb, Mykell, or Phaedra-Leigh, these unique names are a gold mine of creative spellings and terrible parental decisions. Each entry is both a warning and a comfort—because hey, at least your name isn’t "Jazmineeigh." If you ever felt bad about your own name, this gallery is the self-esteem boost you didn’t know you needed.

You survived 50 of the worst kids names ever invented—and probably felt secondhand embarrassment for every “creative” parent involved. If you made it through without flashbacks to correcting your own name at roll call, congratulations, you’re winning at life. Go hug your parents for sticking with something classic. Or at least something that fits on a credit card.
