What are the worst names you could give a baby boy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello you awesome people,

Friends are having a boy and everyone they know wants to push a name on the child. So I decided to be the best friend they could have and to offer only bad, ugly or horrendous names to the lucky parents so they could have a laugh. I already send them some names and dictators, Smeagol, Steve and Juan-Esteban.

So please, people or Lemmy, give me the worst names you could give a child, so that I can help them as a good friend!

Ps: don't worry, I've already planned some meals to drop off when the gremlin will be there to feed the parents. And some take-out vouchers so they won't get food poisoning

I'd take Steve over any of the ...ayden (Jayden and the like) names, but I'd be hesitant to send it as a joke, as it might give them ideas.

Ken or Nigel are probably safe.
