Re: whats the worst name in the world?
I think Jihad from Germany’s mother probably chose his name because of its meaning, ‘struggle’; he was 13lbs. Instagram illustrator yesimhotinthis is married to a man named Gehad, which is an alternate spelling. Calling extremists Jihadis is something of a misnomer. It’s a religious term that has been misappropriated.

If the term Jihad is at all used to refer to jihadist terrorists in Germany, then I will stick with my statement that it is among the worst naming choices that I've heard.If you can assert that poor Katie is among the worst names, then I don't think it is a stretch for me to consider Jihad among the worst.

Okay…I just wanted to share some cultural context. Regarding Katie, I said there was no real answer to the question—because there isn’t, really—and added “here are a few names I don’t like, just because”.
