Choosing a baby name can be one of the hardest decisions a parent can make.

And while many baby naming experts aim to help find the “best names”, one parenting site has now come up with an opposing list for those with newborns, The Sun newspaper reports.

Emma’s Diary, which gives baby and pregnancy advice, shared their thoughts on the top 50 “worst” baby names of all time - for both boys and girls.

It goes without saying that the team at Emma’s Diary are keen to stress that the list is only intended to be a bit of fun and not cause any offence.

They said: “ If you love a certain name, then you should use it and forget about what anyone else may think.”

The top 50 list for boys features a number of names - with some more self explanatory than others.
