Terrible Baby Names

Let's face it, you'll have plenty of chances to humiliate your child as the years go by. Photos of them making stupid faces. Fuzzy animal outfits. Last year's mobile phone. They're all easy to hide, sell or return.

Names stick. Some stink. Don't make the wrong choice!

You might be inspired by an old relative's name, a special food, or maybe even your favourite celebrity. Not so fast, folks. Is your choice going to make your new arrival look like a fool?

In this irreverent guide, Graham Barr helps you navigate the minefield of terrible titles, mockable monikers and naff names, to give your child the best chance in life.
