New parents these days tend to go a little overboard when selecting the perfect name for the new arrival. However, in the quest to be different and stand out in the crowd some children have been labeled some hideous names which end just make them the laughing stock of the crowd. This comedian summed up the new trend beautifully. Check out after the jump what some of the worst names from 2007 included. I dont want to give them all away but I am not kidding someone really named their kid Story.

Some of the worst names from 2007 included:

(my favorite for obvious reasons) Superman -

I really don’t see the problem with this one. Everyone needs a super hero in their life and what a way to enter the world. The issue I see with this is that youngsters on the play ground will think the little one is fibbing about his name. And he may get his ass kicked if he hasn’t developed those super hero skills yet.

Ptolemy - We are all stars in our own mind but to name a child after a famous astronomer and have to look up the proper spelling each time one has to write the name might cause an issue in the future. The name means “warlike” in Greek and I think I would be waging a warlike civil dispute with my folks if they graced me with such a name.

Ever - “Ever get tired of people making fun of you and your silly name?” Ever wonder why your loving parents did this to you? Ever wonder when you will legally change your name to something else?

Heaven Rain - Perhaps the sky will opens and a new name will rain upon this child? Seriously, what were they thinking? I guess it is better than the opposite name of Hell Sunshine.

Alabama - Geography aside, what’s the point? Was this the exotic location of the conceived child and does she/ he really need to know this? There’s a lot to live up here in a name like “Alabama”!

Princess - Every little girl is a princess, especially in the eyes of her father but I just think this name adds a lot of pressure for the little maiden and also places a huge chip on her shoulder as she ages and begins to wield her power over men. How can you fight with a grown women or child for that matter and call her “princess”?

And yes last but not least Story - Surely this name is a bit of fiction. I am guessing novel was taken when naming an older sibling.
