Hadley Rae
Double whammy with the stupid spelling here. Only a snobby Gen Yer would change Ray to Rae, making a normal name resemble a chemical element. And Hadley? What was wrong with Haley? Too good for it and you had to butcher it with a D?

Ryder
Poor boy, everyone is going to spell his name with an I and assume his parents were huge “Christmas Story” fans. “You’ll shoot your eye out with that Red Rider BB Gun!”

Avalynn
I don’t even know where to start with this girl’s name. Evelyn? Ava? Aviation? Mom and Dad, slap yourself.

Hodges
Contrary to what you might think, that is a girl’s name. So yes, her parents decided to give her a name that reminds you of a fat, sweaty poker player, as a friend so eloquently put it.

Brigham
You read it right, they named their baby girl after the founder of the Mormon church, Brigham Young. I suppose I should cut them slack as it is no different than naming your kid Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, but at least don’t give a girl a very harsh sounding name, and one that is very man’ish.
And honestly, how are you supposed to shorten that and make it sound cute? Briggy? Hammy? Ham? Bri?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
