Oh Mama
My colleague’s baby name is so bad I didn’t believe it until I saw the birth certificate – people say she deserves JAIL
The name is so bad that the colleague later vented about it on Reddit, with others also slamming it online.
EVERY mum wants a unique name for their little one but this moniker is so mad, people are saying she belongs in prison.
In fact, her colleague refused to believe it was real - only to be horrified when they finally saw the birth certificate.

While celebs regularly choose mad monikers, Apple, North West and X A-Xii look tame compared to this tot’s name.
Though you can understand parents wanting a sweet name for their little girl, the colleague struggled to understand why the mum picked this name.
Rather than keeping her thoughts to herself, she later vented about it on Reddit.
Her post read: “I worked with a woman several years ago who named her daughter, Lolipop.”

To make matters even worse, the tiny tot has Lick is their surname. (Yes, you read that right).
Naturally, the colleague refused to believe this was a real name…until her co-worker showed her the birth certificate.
She continued: “I just... I didn't believe her. She showed me the birth certificate. I still have a hard time believing it.
“It is still, by far, the weirdest name I have ever personally come across (and I once taught a VERY white boy named Charging Buffalo).”

Needless to say, the post has quickly gone viral on Reddit with countless comments about the bizarre name.
One user even said that the parents should be put in jail for the name, joking: “Straight to prison.”
Another agreed, call the parents ‘idiotic’ for the name.
They wrote: “If an adult names themselves I'm, basically, happy with whatever stupid name they choose. It is when some idiot inflicts it on a child is when my jaw drops.”
I’m a baby name pro and hate people who invent baby names and there’s some that are so bad
As the post continued to go viral, others agree with some complaining that this was why countries have a list of ‘approved names’.
Others worried about how the little one would cope in school, especially as other kids can be so cruel.
“The bullying she will receive in high school is going to be absolutely brutal,” a third complained.
A fourth even suggested that the mad moniker sounded too adult for the little girl.

“That’s a wild name to give your daughter. Sounds destined to be a stripper at the very least,” they complained.
This isn’t the only unusual baby name that has gone viral recently, as a UK woman was slammed after sharing her two-year-old’s moniker on TikTok.
While there aren’t any hard and last rules about what you can’t name your baby, some monikers have been blocked to protect kids.
