| Throughout history, people have named their children truly terrible things, and
this book has the proof. Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback combed through US
Federal Census records to find the absolute worst names parents have given their
children. The result is this hysterical new take on the baby name book.
Here are some samples of the hilarious names inside: Hades Fryher, Post Office,
Warren Peace, Rubella Graves, Nice Carr, and Hell Hellickson. And then there are
the names we thought Bart Simpson was making up as he prank called Moe's Tavern:
Hugh Jass, Al Caholic, Anita Bath, Amanda Hugginkiss, and Maya Buttreeks. This
book is also filled with original illustrations and great photos that take a
stab at what some of these babies may have looked like.
Bad Baby Names is truly a one-of-a-kind book that makes a great gift for a
friend, family member, or just yourself. Either way, Bad Baby Names is sure to
make you laugh. The book has been divided into categories for easy reference.
