I've just spent the weekend at home and I was delighted to find that my mother now has access to some of the cheapest, lowest rated channels that get thrown in free with whatever pay-TV package she has.

This may not be such a delight to some people, but in the UK we just don't have the access to the really trashy, throw chairs at each other 'yo'mamma' talk shows that apparently exist. I was enthralled.

And oh, the names.

On this weeks episode 'You Ain't My Baby Momma', there was a Jaidenly (female), a Braydien (spelled that way) a Quetamas and - my personal favourite - a 8 month old baby girl called Graceland.

I'm more horrified that there's a television show dedicated to that topic. Although... how do you tell a woman that she isn't the mother of your kid? ?_?

I think she might be referring to Maury? (correct me if i'm wrong please OP) but that show always seems to have some woman on there testing 8/9+ men for her badly named babies daddy.

Oohhh i live in the UK too, i adore the talk shows, they're quite common in the day time.

You'll see worse names than those if you keep watching, i swear, they're amazing the kind of trash people name their babies. Cupcake (for real) is my personal favourite.
