I might have found the winner in the "worst name ever" contest. I saw on a baby board somewhere and I'm really hoping whomever it was doesn't use LJ because they've got to be the only person dumb enough to do this.

With the trend of changing spellings and vowels etc to make a whole new name, I bring you a variant on Melody

Maladie

Has this person never heard of the word malady? Why not just name your kid DISEASED. I feel so bad for that girl - she's already a couple years old.

Is her mother a 12 year old girl?

Maybe she was trying to spell 'Melody' kreatyfleigh and it all went horribly wrong?

Oh...it's proounded like Melody? I was giving it the beginning to "Maddie" and the ending to "Melody". She'll forever have people mispronouncing her name- that the kiss of death for kids. And it's even worse because it's a decent name.

First thought was

my laddie, in a kind of northern english accent.

Second thught was

My Lady, in a rather gay little britain type voice (apologies for all non british people who that didnt make sense for)

Third thought

Malady, yes... diseased indeed!

Context? Link?

I really just want to see if it's a troll.

sad... but I still think the "Stilleto" post was far, far worse.

Haha, I actually think Suri is still worse.

Suri reminds me of curry. Not exactly the best association in my book.

I hope it was just someone's idea that is a name on their favourites list and not "I just named my baby Maladie".... hopefully there is still time for a simple vocabulary lesson and this could be avoided

oops just saw your other comment.. oh no :(

Yeah, that's worse than my ex who wanted to name his next daughter "Malice."
