The purpose of this activity is to make up terrible names to use for a character in any story or book. Names that are so cringe-inducing as to make you wince.

What makes a bad name?:
  • Obvious symbolism
  • Impossible to pronounce
  • You got it from the ingredients list of a Twinkee
  • Et cetera

Just keep it clean! This topic is rated E after all.

Ieemthcn.

I actually read a book where a characters name was Ieemthc... How you say it, I have no idea.
I didn't know what to put here so I put this.

I think I'd just feel sorry for a character that was named this.

Indeed. "HER NAME IS ENOBY NOT MARY SUE!" xD

Umlaut.
I saw this webpage listing the reasons 'you know you're industrial when...' and one was: You have contemplated calling your pet/child/etc 'Umlaut'.

Haha this is funny! Me and my friend Morgan were talking about bad story names earlier! She said she knew someone name Dorcas in grade school. Whose parents hate them that much? I mean...

...Dorcus? Dork? Hullo?

Yeah, we also said Jane and Mildred.

Jamibiniquasaychanauy. I read some African book where the Mc's daughter was named this. God, half the page was taken up with the characters names in this book, but this one was by far the worst.
I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.
