• 12 Ridiculous Names You Should not Give to Children in 2022

    To be very honest, number seven and ten should not even be a thing.

    Written By:

    If you don’t want children to grow up wondering what the heck their parents were thinking, then let the following names die with 2021.

    And if your name happens to be on this list, tie wrapper and fight your parents (or whoever gave it to you), because they clearly set you up for life-long ridicule.

    1. English

    Hello???? Why this!?

    2. Thanks

    Where do we even begin to understand the absurdity of this? You want them to be turning upandan when people randomly say, “Thanks”?

    3. God Knows

    God definitely knows he shouldn’t be the reason someone goes by “GK for short.”

    4. Thank God

    This name needs to go extinct with immediate effect.

    5. Prayer

    Prayer is the key, not a human being. A key.

    6. Surprise

    What exactly is surprising, and how can you expect someone to walk around as a permanent surprise?

    7. Evidence

    Some people should evidently not be parents.

    8. Nice

    Are they planning to work at Chicken Republic?

    9. Endurance

    The fact that a child is born in Nigeria already seals their fate of endurance. Don’t add salt to the injury biko.

    10. I am blessed

    Not with this name, you are not.

    11. Wonder

    If they’re such a wonder, why not take them to the museum, because we’re not understanding.

    12. Saturday

    Or any day of the week for that matter. Please and thanks.

    Share with all the aunties, uncles, and soon-to-be parents you know.
