Thread about a month back mentioned someone seeing a woman calling after her daughter "LaZonya, come here!" or somesuch. Any kind of name like that is pretty bad, as are the real hick names; Cletus, Jethro (does *anyone* use this one anymore?), etc.

pratically any name that begins with la or de has the potential for disaster (lashawna, demetrius) *shudders*
I knew this girl in HS her name was Renee her dads name was Renee and her brothers name was Renee. WTF??? The dad must have been very narssasistic to name both his children after himself. Oh yah I met a girl named Ethel once and she was baaaaaanging.
Along those lines, naming your kid "Kenny" is probably a bad idea. I met a Kenny once, I was able to resist the urge to make a SP reference but I know he must have gotten it a lot.
Naming your kid something unique is cool, but make sure it doesn't sound funny, isn't too hard to spell, and can't be easily rhymed with something bad or they'll never hear the end of it in grade school.

The name of any state.
The name of most countries. ("Tchad" is an exception, for example)
Gaylord
Eugene
Jesus
Any name with no possible "normal" nickname. (Elmer)
The list goes on
There's lots of bad names. So many I can't name.

I'd never give my child a name derived from any: celebrity, animal, brand name, movie, movie character, comic book character, SA soap opera character, version number, any fantasy character (Drizzt 
), etc.
I find names like Hercules, Esmeralda, Isaura, Sunshine, Achilleus, Quetzacotl, Princess, Queen unnatural for any Middle European or US child.
There are too many children called Hercules Smith or Quetzacotl Esmeralda Smith around here...
About the name Ethel: the youngest Ethel I know is 94 years old, AFAIK, it's not a popular name these days.

Mookie was a nickname, genius.
His real name is Daron.
Just like Chipper Jones. His real name is Larry. There are many athletes with funky nicknames.
how about Hermione? "herr-my-oh-nee" Young lady form Harry Potter movies. Quite unique but don't think I would plop that name on a daughter tho..

Oh man, yes. Add Skylar/Skyler to the list. I've never met anyone named Skyler/Skylar that wasn't an asshole.
I wonder if anybody has named their kid Lucifer. That seems like it'd be pretty bad if you were religious.
Heh heh heh....
My wife and I have this friend with a neighbor who named her son "Damien", as in the movie "The Omen". From all accounts, this kid is a little bastard, too.
