Long time lurker, first time poster. I currently work at a bowling alley where we do a lot of kid's parties, and today I heard the worst name I have ever come across in my life.

There was a little six year old boy named Riffraff. Just to check, I asked the mother about it, and she confirmed that she got the name from her favourite musical.

So she named her kid after the incestuous, hunchbacked alien from the Rocky Horror Show.

I don't even.

Oh, yeah, I love it myself, but dear god. If she wanted a shout out, why not just Brad? D:

That is...yes, I agree, probably one of the worst names I have ever heard. I love some names because of films and books but that is just absurd! :|

...Does she even know what riffraff means? That poor boy! D:

Yep, even if she hadn't been thinking of RHPS, it's still an awful thing to call a child.

According to my coworker, most of the other people at the party were calling him "Riff" for short, but I hope to god he has a decent enough middle name to go by when he's older. :c

Was her favorite musical Aladin? haha And was she like 15 when she named him?

NO. That's just cruel.

Yeah, the kid's going to see Aladdin and here the lyrics: "Riff-raff! Street rat!"

Brad, Rocky, Frank, Scott, Eddie. So many other names you could use to honour Rocky Horror. I can't even...
