"Alexa, are you ready for your game game with Gwyneth?"


Like all trends, baby names are going and lacking style. (Remember when he felt like everyone you know named their newborn "Madison"In the Aughts?) But from time to time, a cultural force comes so powerful that it essentially makes the name out of bounds for all the others. (No, we do not say that you can not name your child Oprah, but talk about Some big shoes to fill ... Would you like to put this kind of pressure on your little one?)

This is the case with the 17 baby names we have included here. Whether due to a popular rocky song, a name for a new omnipresent technical device or an external person that you may not want your child to be associated, here are the names you will be very in a hurry to meet between infants or toddlers in 2019. And for larger tips for parenting, do not miss the30 parental errors worse than everyone is doing.

1. Alexa

A nice name for a girl ... if you want it to be forever anchored by people posing random questions. "Alexa, what is the weather outside?" "Alexa, what is a good recipe for chicken?" "Alexa, do you spend the TEING test?"

2. Katrina

Katrina is a nice name and it is a shame that the national ocean and atmospheric administration has decided to give it to a hurricane of Category-5, one of the most murderers of century, which hit the Gulf coast in 2005 and has Left thousands of deaths and caused $ 125 billion damages. Alas, the memory of a new flooded Orleans will always be related to the name Katrina.

3. Wendy

She does not need to be a nice red-headed child with horse tails for people to connect the points between her name and fast food franchise. Unfortunately, this name is guaranteed to arouse a boring question for a big part of his life: "Where is the beef?!"

4. Elsa

Children loveFrozenAnd a girl named Elsa will probably be happy with his name for at least a few years. But then, she will grow up to become a woman and she will not be entertained by friends and family songs "Let it go, leave himgoooo"In the drop of a hat.

5. Hannibal

The comedian Hannibal Buress works hard to record this name. But it may never cancel the damage ofThe film of 1991Thesilenceofthelambs, Where "Hannibal The Cannibal" reader (played brilliantly by Anthony Hopkins) essentially gave all nightmares of all nightmares for years.

6. Paris

Nope. No if you want his friends to tell him, "It's hot," for all eternity. The name Paris no longer evokes the romantic French city. He evokes a television star that has come to be born with all-bottomed cash reserves.

7. Hermione

If your child is not delivered and does not want to be attached to bushy-haired know-how, she is out of luck. Yes, Shakespeare and Homer used the name beforeHarry Potter Creator J.K. Rowling did, but for the best or the worstHermione will be forever attached to Hermione Granger.

8. Donald

Child, it will be associated with a famous duck. As an adult, a certain president and businessman-the Donald-who brings out somereally heating emotions in people.

9. Mario

During the 1 000th time, he asked his brother Luigi (the L-Man!) Or he always has a rivalry with Donkey Kong (it ended years ago!), He's officially going you resonate.

10. ELMO

Nope - not unless you want this kid growing to become a very irritated adult who isso Have to ask foreigners to stop tickling.

11. Roxanne

All it took was a police song. Thank you, sting.

12. Carrie

Tell us that you can hear this name without thinking of a bucket filled with pig of pig spilled on the head of the poor girl during the ball ball. Even if you never read Stephen King's novel, nor saw the adaptation of the 1977 Saint Sissy Spacek movie, this image is rooted in pop culture forever.

13. ISIS

OfClasses You do not think about the terrorist organization when you have considered this name for your daughter. You think it's beautiful and it reminds you of your great-grandmother, and he embodies the female force and the Egyptian Goddess Isis, and ... Stop. There is no way to win this battle. At least for the moment, Isis always wants ISIS.

14. Waldo

It does not matter if he never wear glasses, a cap and a red and white striped sweater, people will point it out and say, "I found Waldo!"

15. Dexter

WhyDo the fictitious series killers have any distinctive names? First of all, it was Hannibal. Now thank you toDexterThe Showtime Staring Michael C. Hall series, Dexter will always look like a serial killer name. Acharming Serial killer, safe. But always, someone who murbs other people, which is not something that most parents want their child to be associated.

16. Damien

It has been more than 40 years since the 1976 horror movieOmenFirst ruined this name forever. And the name continues to get a bad rap. It could happen a moment when Damien does not automatically mean "Satan spawn", but we are not there yet.

17. Hannah

Maybe it's just up to us, but we find it really difficult to say the name Hannah without adding "Montana" to the end. Hey, it's not our fault! Go blame Miley Cyrus if you do not like it. It was his long-term Disney channel show that took possession of the name Hannah for at least another decade.

18. Forrest

Some emblematic cinema lines will never come out of the style. Like "play again, Sam" or "May the force be with you." And, of course, from the film of 1994Forrest Gump, there is this indelible line: "Run, forces, run!" Nobody should submit his child to such an easy abuse.

19. Lolita

It may not have been the Russian novel Vladimir Nabokov intends to ruin the name Lolita for countless future generations of parents, but that's what happened. His book of 1955 is so infamous that Lolita became a stenography for "the last thing anyone or mother wants their daughter to become".

20. SURI

Forever, it was a nice Hebrew name for girls meaning royalty. Today, it instantly calls the family name "Cruise" or the digital assistant made famous by the smartphone in your pocket. (We know it's "Siri". But spoke aloud, they are easy to mix.)

21. Eileen

If you have raised in the 80s, the song "Come on Eileen" is rooted in your subconscious. And it is almost impossible to meet someone named Eileen without losing immediately than the catchy melody. No child deserves this synth legacy.

22. Dora

Honestly, you could simply put a backpack because it will be called "the explorer" by friends who think they are intelligent for the rest of his life.

23. HOMER

Even if you chose the name because you are a story and a fan of the legendary Greek congenère responsible forThe Iliad andThe odysseyIt's not the association that most people will do. They will think of Homer Simpson, the visually impaired father,The simpsons cartoon.

24. Maria

It's almost saved by this beautiful song inWest Side Story- "I just met a girl named Mariaaaaa!" - But lost much of his good reputation because of Hurricane Maria, the 2017 storm that devastated Puerto Rico. It's not a reputation for a kid should have worried about living.

25. Gwyneth

Once a perfectly normal name of Welsh origin, "Gwyneth" is now constantly associated with a person:Avengers: War of Infinity andIron Man Star Gwyneth Paltrow. We do not hit the founder of Goop. We simply say that when a person is so well attached to a name, it is very difficult for others to use it too.
