Expecting mom wants to name her baby girl ‘Blessica,’ husband refuses because his last name is ‘Blimpson’: ‘The name is too close to the celebrity Jessica Simpson’
Some bad baby names rise above the rest. I’ve known so many Kaydens, Aidens, Braydens, Haydens, and Jaydens in my life that, at this point, the quality of their names no longer feels notably poor. While my childhood was populated by a parade of the boy «-aydens,» Gen Alpha girls are cursed with «-leigh» as …
