Never seen a 1000 yard stare PRE traumatic event. That daughter is special in more ways than one.
Standard names spelled with far too many letters. JeighSynn and Kryssteighnah are not people names they are scientific nomenclature or some shit
Sounds like real tragedeighs right there.
People in 1990: maybe enough time has passed that - nooope.

I was doing payroll recently for my work, and came across Harsh Harsh. I had to ask our HR lady, really? His last name was Harsh and his parents named him Harsh?
Well, no. She said his name was simply Harsh but our system required a last name so she repeated it.
Still, pretty harsh I think.

Bona Petite
Holy shit. Where to start with this one...
- Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, this name will lead to merciless teasing at school.
- What a random phrase to name a child after (even if the father is a chef).
- It's not spelled correctly (it should be Bon Appétit). But even with the correct spelling it would be a bad choice.
- This spelling is like something Ricky from Trailer Park Boys would name his kid.
- Related to the above point, they may add well just name their kid 'Bone Apple Tea'.
Unironically a fantastic drag name though.

I imagine myself when someone says:"These are my twins, their names are Karke Kristian kale and Karkea Kristiana Kalea!" and i get a cramp all over my head because my face doesn't know if it should show rage, laughter or sadness and does all at once
Dudeson would be fine. He'd just go by Dude.
Or "His Dudeness" or "Duder" or "El Duderino" if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Not specifically baby name, but I went to high school with a guy whose last name was Bohnert (pronounced like boner). Guess what his nickname was.
It was funny whenever we had a substitute teacher and they would do roll call:
"...Bahnert?"
"It's boner"

Many years ago I lost the naming rights of my firstborn in a bet. If I have a boy I have to name him Dongshaun. If I have a girl she has to be Clydia.
So, not Chalupa Batman? At least Taco didn't get to name your kid.
Just look at the offspring of the rich and famous. That covers it quite well

Ask Elon, he tries to come up with a worse one for each child.

Went to school with a guy who was baptised Davo. Not Dave, but Davo. Typical Australians to put an o at the end.

Donald Trump.
There was a case in Japan. An application was handed in to name a boy akuma, which means "devil". That may sound funny or cute or whatever, but it really isn't. The application was denied.
