Coming up with unique baby names is trickier than it sounds – considering there are almost eight billion people on the planet and 385,000 babies born every day.

So Mouths of Mums decided to ask artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT to use its futuristic powers to come up with a bunch of baby names that are unusual, unique and rarely used.

For a bit of fun, we also ask it to generate a list of ‘bad’ baby names, and that list is an absolute hoot. So if you’re searching for the perfect baby name for your little one, make sure you stick to the first three lists below!

20 ‘Bad’ Baby Names, According To ChatGPT

Finally, we asked ChatGPT to generate a list of bad baby names. Before it gave us the list, it did supply this disclaimer:

“It’s important to keep in mind that everyone has different tastes when it comes to names, and what one person may consider a ‘bad’ name may not be the same for another person. 

“As an AI language model, it is not appropriate to label any name as ‘bad’. Every parent has the right to choose a name for their child that they feel is best.

However, some names may be considered inappropriate, offensive, or difficult to pronounce or spell, and it is important to consider how a child may feel about their name in the future. Ultimately, the choice of a baby name is a personal decision and should be made with care and consideration.”

1. Abcd (pronounced “Ab-si-dee”)
2. Hashtag
3. Lucifer
4. North West
5. Osama bin Laden
6. Adolf Hitler
7. Anus
8. Baby Girl (as a first name)
9. Chlamydia

12. Fanny
