Bad Baby Name #1: Was "Satan" Already Taken?

My dear bloggies, I enjoy baby names. When I learn that someone I know is pregnant, my first question is: "What are you naming the baby?" I'm just fascinated by what people choose to name their children. Personally, I prefer unusual (but not bizarre) names with personal meaning. I also love it when people name a baby for a beloved deceased family member...it's such a sweet way to honor that person in my opinion. I do love some traditional and Biblical names, and even a few of the trendy ones. But let's face it: there are some baby names that make you wonder "What the hell were those parents thinking?!?!?!?"

To that end, I offer a new column (so to speak) of my blog: Bad Baby Names. Feel free to comment; if you love the name, or agree with me that it's just awful. I hope you enjoy this column, either way.

Just a note: I am not, nor will I ever, attack a child. All babies are beautiful, all children deserving of love, respect and honor. All children are created equal....all baby names, however, aren't. Now, on to the show....




Today's Bad Baby Name:

Zhyan Demon

Now, I'm assuming the first name is pronounced like "Zion," I name I actually like. However, this cre8ive spelling is terrible. And the middle name? What on Earth were they thinking? Demon? Talk about giving a child a complex. I also found it funny that the father's nickname is "Pig." So we've got Pig and Demon here....now, I don't like to say that a name will gaurentee you teasing....but this one's a lock. It's also such a strange juxtaposition....Zhyan (Zion), being a place of Biblical triumph, and Demon being a creature of Biblical ire. It does, however, answer the age-old question: what would the child of Charlotte Church and Anton le Vey be named? Now we know.

I found this name here....I couldn't make this stuff up.
