Parents mocked for baby’s ‘TERRIBLE’ name and say his brother’s is ‘just as bad’
PARENTS have been mocked for their “terrible” baby name with some online saying that their other child’s name was “almost as bad.”
Reddit users gave their harshest criticism on a thread dedicated to “awful names and naming culture,” with one family bearing the brunt of the jokes.
One user shared a screenshot from TikTok user Jamie Babb, who shared a video about her two sons to her nearly 40,000 followers.
“When Furman was born, I knew he would outgrow Forbes, but I never dreamed of how strong their bond would be,” read the onscreen text
The newborn son was Furman and his four-year-old brother was named Forbes.
The couple also has a daughter, but her name wasn’t shown on the screenshot, however, other videos on Babb's account revealed that her name is Ani Lynn.
The post received 63 comments, with many mocking the couple’s names for their kids.
“I know it’s a surname, but I just see Fur Man,” wrote one user. “Good name for a cat, not so much a human.”
“Another example of why I hate surnames as first names…” wrote another.
The name “Furman” really had commenters up in arms.

“Not a fur baby but a fur MAN,” one commenter said.
One person even said that the names sound like “the name of an old nudey mag.”
Others compared it to the business magazine of the same name.
“Forbes? Like the website? I’m pretty sure that’s a website,” said one person.
“I was thinking the same thing. You named your baby after an economic news website? People are crazy,” said another.
The comments with the highest ratings, however, had to do with the couple’s unnamed daughter.
“Did they just totally ignore the other kid?” read a comment with over 200 upvotes.
“And our daughter, Forgotten,” read a reply.
