The list was shared in all its glory on Mumsnet after the site posed the question "What would you never name a child and why?".
1. Mia – Because it means "missing in action."
2. Lana – "As spelt backwards, it looks rather rude."
3. Fanny – "For obvious reasons."
4. Grace – Because "there are very few accents that say it gracefully."
5. Amelia – As one mum "find(s) the 'me' so whiney."
6. Graham – As "it sounds like "Grey Ham'."
7. Flora – One mum admitted: "(it) makes me think of bacteria."
8. Alexa – "Because it sounds too much like the virtual assistant."
9. Mercedes – A parent said: "She’s a child not a car."
10. Luna – Because "it's a pet's name."
What's most surprising about the so-called worst baby names is that three of them actually feature in the top 10 most popular baby names for 2022 so far, proving that people certainly aren't being put off.
