Nurses share the 'worst' baby name they've heard that keeps people up at night

A woman claims to be "kept awake at night" over the thought of the "worst" she has ever heard - and even nurses agree with her. She explained how she currently lives in Germany and expected their naming laws to be on the stricter side. So she was shocked to hear what some parents name their children.

Taking to , she claims the nation has "failed" its – setting them up for a lifetime of hardship and bullying. She said: "I live in Germany where I used to think the name laws are more strict than in other countries - the city will decide whether the name you chose is an actual name or the child will be bullied for it.

"Yet, a friend who works there told me that in our local birth center, the nurses have a list of the top three worst names of that year. I can‘t remember two and three sadly, but voted number one worst name was: Richie Rich Putin. Just felt like I had to share that while lying awake thinking about my soon to be born child‘s name."

Commenting on the moniker, one user said: "Like this was a name that slipped through the cracks? Or one that got banned successfully. Poor child…"

Another user added: "Do parents really hate their child that much? Or do they think its funny and don't think it through for the kid's future?"

A third user said: "I feel like a lot of people wouldn't get this (American 90's) reference, but I'm really unsure / curious if this is supposed to be like the movie? The 1994 movie "Richie Rich" starring Macaulay Culkin?"

One more user added: "Spider, Manfred and Princess are also legal in Germany. Also also, a girl with four names was born a few years ago, one name was Rainbow.'

Adding to this, another user said: "It was also a cartoon in the 1980s". And a final user said: "It's also a comic book from the 1950s."
