Guide Note: Bad Baby Names is a book documenting some of the most ridiculous names people have given their children in America. The full title is Bad Baby Names: The Worst True Names Parents Saddled Their Kids With, and You Can Too! In their book, authors Sherrod and Rayback have taken what was once a casual hobby and turned it into an obsession with finding names such as "Ima Muskrat" and other unimaginable monikers. The two authors aren't the only people captivated by this topic, however, as many blogs have dedicated posts (or entire blogs) to pointing out some ludicrous naming choices parents have made.
