Top Ten Names That Work for Adults But Not for Babies

The Top Ten
1 Larry

Funny Story, when I was born I was almost named Larry because of my older brother. He saw Spongebob a lot and loved Larry the Lobster and because of that I was almost named Larry.

I don't think it would work for a young boy.

Never would call my baby this.

Impractical Jokers!

2 Jean

No. This is perfect for babies! It fits their cuteness. Just imagine a baby in little pigtails and clothes, only to find that their name is Jean! Adorable on girls but horrible on boys.

Not a good baby name. That's my granny's name and it suits and elderly person fine but it's not for a baby. Sorry if I have made anyone annoyed by saying that xx

3 Olga

This name doesn't work for anyone ever.

This doesn't work no matter how old you are

Sounds like the name of a witch.

I hate this name.

4 George

What about the latest member of our Royal Family?

I kinda looks like old man's name

5 Bob

Bobby or Robert would work, but I would never call my baby Bob.

Actually this is works for a baby more than a adult

But all adults were once babies...

6 Clarence

What kind of baby name is that? Just no.

7 Torque
8 Bertha

Not really, if someone just gave berth to her

9 Horace
10 Mildred

It sounds like mild or miserable, dang. I don't want that name (Probably cause it's a girl name but still)

this is blaineley (total drama)'s real name

Who would name their kid this?

This is a really weird name.

The Contenders
11 Paul

It looks bad on babies, but totally good on adults. I really can't imagine a five-year-old kid named Paul.

12 Bruce
13 Trevor
14 Gertrude

How come every single book I read it has to have somebody's aunt named Gertrude? Gertrude is a good name for aunts.

Won't work for anyone!
Also, every Gertrude I've read about was bad.

I wouldn't name my kid Gertrude.

Does Gertrude work for anyone?

15 Richard
16 Gary
17 Heather

this is my name and I'm 15

18 Winston

Has old man written all over it. Or the last name of a criminal heisman award winner... either way! Not for babies.

There's a kid in my Period 6 class named Winston

19 Donald
20 Fred
21 Dan

Not true this is my name and I love it

I know tons of Dans

22 Edward
23 Andrew

This is a name for someone in their 40's I my opinion

24 Elsie

Who would name a child of today "Elsie"

That sounds babyish.

25 Douglas
