What is one name that you have heard that you would never name your child?

I was watching “5th Grader.” A contestant came on. Going by his first AND last name, I’d say his parents were immigrants from wherever (the Middle East? He looked African-American but his name didn’t suggest that…) but the contestant was 100% American. No accent, completely American mannerisms.

Don’t remember his last name, but his first name was “Aswad.” Oh, have mercy! It was pronounced “Ah-z-wad” but Jeff Foxworthy was having the hardest time staying in the bounds when a joke was right in his face, but he did well. He won’t lose his job even though the “Z” sound slipped slightly into the “double S” sound here and there.

So, there is one name I’d never name my American kid: “Aswad.” Can you think of others?
