35+ Hilariously Unfortunate Names That Sound Like Jokes But Are Tragically Real
Names are supposed to be a gift. A legacy. A sweet little label you carry with pride for the rest of your life. But sometimes, it feels more like a prank pulled at the hospital by sleep-deprived parents who just really wanted to be different. Unfortunately, these individuals are still struggling with the aftermath.
This list is packed with names so wildly unfortunate, you’d think a sketch comedy writer made them up on a deadline. But nope. They’re 100% real and probably followed by a lifetime of awkward introductions, side-eyes at Starbucks, and the occasional “No really, that’s my actual name.”
Let’s all be grateful our names didn’t land us on this list… or double-check that they didn’t.
