Re: The worst name you have seen on a real person.
Princess [second given name] Butt. Not doxxing the poor lady because I imagine if you search Princess Butt your google search is gonna be flooded with far more interesting things than her personal information. Butt is a surname I've sometimes come across in the British-Asian community, and it's not the greatest surname ever to have for an English speaker... but with that first name. Oh no. In this case Princess was her name and not her title and she went by Princess rather than her second given name. So Princess Butt. My coworker, from the same background, enthusiastically and non-ironically complimented her name (she ignored the surname and just... liked Princess as a name apparently...) and I had to leave the room compose myself. If she had gone by her second given name + Butt it would have been far less funny.I've also come across Khunt (surname) and Kunti (given name)... not good names to have in the UK.I met a Boomer, but I don't know if that was his legal name and really hope it was a nickname. There's been a few with names similar to swearwords or rude terms in other languages (e.g. the obvious choice of Pippa) that made me glad I don't have that name. For the sheer ugliest sound, I've come across Gage, Brice, Kade, Kayne, Sloane, Keegan, all not nice sounds.

What's wrong with Pippa...? (I don't particularly like the sound of it, but I'm not familiar with any vulgar term it sounds like.)

A long delay in responding, sorry. I've come across it meaning vulgar things in Italian and Swedish and another language I can't remember. I've also got a Cypriot friend who has it on the list of absolute no-go names he'll never use, that might be because of the Italian meaning or another unfortunate meaning I'm unaware of in Cypriot Greek.
