NO KIDDING Nurse reveals the 'worst baby name ever' and confesses 'it keeps me up at night' FINDING the perfect name for your little one isn't always easy. You could go the classic and traditional route, or push the boat out and give them a much more unique moniker.

But there's one name more likely to receive some of that harsh judgement. This comes after one Reddit user revealed the name nurses from their local delivery centre deemed it the 'worst name'. Apparently, one baby was unlucky enough to be called Richie Rich Putin. The moniker is a combination of actor Macaulay Culkin's 1990s film Richie Rich and the last name of Russian president, Vladimir Putin. 'I used to think the name laws are more strict [in Germany] than in other countries,' the Reddit user wrote. 'The city will decide whether the name you chose is an actual name or the child will be bullied for it.' But somehow, little Richie Rich Putin wasn't picked up on by authorities. 'Just felt like I had to share that while lying awake thinking about my soon-to-be-born child's name,' they added. But after sharing the unusual name on the social media site people couldn't believe any parent would really use the name on their bundle of joy.

How wrong we were... I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I'd already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I've had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear. With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can't help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it's something that none of them would mind in the slightest - it's a total me problem! The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby? It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always I don't want to be THAT person. While some will argue there's thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby. Then there's also the issue of finding a name you to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can't shake off. I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won't reveal it because I don't want to ruin it for others!) ...only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead. So, back to the drawing board we went.. Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as 'baby gal' for a little while longer!

Create Account Labour and delivery nurses at a birthing centre in Germany recently landed on what they considered to be the 'worst name' to ever land inside a cradle. 'Richie Rich Putin,' wrote a disgusted Reddit user from Germany, per the New York Post . It's a combination of actor Macaulay Culkin's 1990s classic film Richie Rich and the last name of Russian president Vladimir Putin. 'I used to think the name laws are more strict (in Germany) than in other countries,' said the cyber whistleblower. 'The city will decide whether the name you chose is an actual name or the child will be bullied for it.' It seems as though Richie Rich Putin managed to fall through the cracks. 'Just felt like I had to share that while lying awake thinking about my soon-to-be-born child's name,' said the cringing mom-to-be.

'Can you imagine all oligarch bootlicking that must go on in its home?' Strange baby names are seemingly en vogue among expecting mothers worldwide. Disney-inspired handles such as 'Snow White' and 'Se7en Simba,' and geographically influenced names such as 'Elae' — pronounced L.A., like the abbreviation for Los Angeles, Cal. — have come into play thanks to ultramodern parents who are picking increasingly peculiar names. Emma Hutton, the U.K.-based mother who crowned her daughter Elae, doesn't appear to understand why haters have a difficult time embracing the unconventional name. 'I know everyone's not going to like it. I know it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea,' Hutton barked in a viral video. 'But I like different names.' 'It's 2025,' she added. 'I didn't know that people wouldn't be able to understand basic English.' Read More Toronto Blue Jays Crime Columnists Sunshine Girls Toronto & GTA
