Some of these 'don't name your baby this' people need to get a life.
Certainly the people who run the sites at the first two links do. The only thing I can think of is that it's supposed to be humor, and I don't get it.
For example, I worked with a black lady who was pregnant, and when her daughter was born she named her Kiesha. I was curious, and asked her where the name came from. It turns out that the name wasn't made up, but had African roots. This is exactly the opposite of what the first site suggests in their first link.
We've got a lot better examples here of "don't name your baby this" than anything I saw on those sites.

The only naming no-no I believe in is "don't give a child a first name that ends in the same letter as the last name begins with", just because it makes the name hard to pronounce without having to take an unnatural pause.

Rhyming names are bad too. I once worked with somebody named Delores Flores.

Necromancy blah blah ...
Jumping here kinda late with a pretty funny name. Totally real. His last name was Vanderputte. What makes it funny is that pute (spelled differently) meant bitch or ho, in French slang. He did pronounce it Vanderpoot. I can imagine the teasing at school....oye vey.
On a different note, I tried to download that program that lets you use a word processing to import names and the link was dead. Does anyone have it?
