OH BABY I'm a nurse and here's the worst baby name I have ever heard – it's so bad it keeps me awake at night
WE'VE all put on a false smile when we've heard a baby name that gives us the ick.
However, even the most po-faced of people would struggle to keep a straight face after hearing this moniker.

A nurse has revealed the very worst baby name she has ever heard, claiming that it still keeps her up at night.
'Richie Rich Putin,' wrote the disgusted Reddit user from Germany, adding that labor and delivery nurses at a local birthing center had recently deemed it the the 'worst name' to ever curse the cradle.
It's a 'creative' combination of actor Macaulay Culkin's 1990s classic film 'Richie Rich,' and the last name of Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
'I used to think the name laws are more strict [in Germany] than in other countries,' wrote the Redditor.
'The city will decide whether the name you chose is an actual name or the child will be bullied for it.'
However, this particularly unusual title clearly fell through the cracks.
'Just felt like I had to share that while lying awake thinking about my soon-to-be-born child's name,' she added.
Fellow redditors were equally horrified, sharing their thoughts in the comments.
'Do parents really hate their child that much? Or do they think it's funny and don't think it through for the kid's future?,' questioned a concerned commenter.
'That poor child,' another sighed. 'Can you imagine all oligarch bootlicking that must go on in its home?'
Channel 4 star horrifies fans as she reveals 'truly awful' baby names ahead of birth of second child
Sadly, side-eye-worthy baby names are currently en vogue among expecting moms worldwide.
Be they Disney-inspired handles such as 'Snow White' and 'Se7en Simba,' or geographically-influenced names à la 'Elae' — pronounced LA, like the abbreviation for Los Angeles, California.
Emma Hutton, who crowned her daughter Elae, doesn't seem to understand why haters have a hard time embracing the unconventional name.
'I know everyone's not going to like it. I know it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea,' Hutton barked in a viral vid. 'But I like different names.'
'It's 2025,' she added. 'I didn't know that people wouldn't be able to understand basic English.'

The ‘curl & scrunch' trick Princess Andre swears by for gorgeous long waves with zero heat damage
SHE may be a nepo baby who grew up in the spotlight, but Princess Andre is now paving her own way. Just last week, she was crowned Tatler's second best-dressed star in Britain. Advertisement 4 Princess Andre has revealed her hair hack when perfecting the curl Credit: TikTok 4 She explained what the 'curl & scrunch' is Credit: TikTok 4 Princess also revealed how to do the curly hair trick without using heat Credit: Getty And it's not just fashion where she's making waves - the daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price is also a beauty icon, with fans clamouring for her hair secrets. Princess has become known for her stunning, long, naturally curly hair, and the secret to her gorgeous locks is a simple, heat-free trick she recently shared on TikTok. For anyone wanting to achieve beautiful, bouncy waves without using a curling iron, her "curl & scrunch" method is a game-changer. The 18-year-old posted a step-by-step tutorial for her 882.9k followers, and the video has since gone viral with 1.2 million views and 53.6k likes. Advertisement The key to her routine isn't heat, but the right combination of products and a technique that enhances her natural curls. How to Get the Look The process starts with a good brush to ensure there are "absolutely no knots." Princess then sections her hair, clipping the top half out of the way to focus on the bottom. She makes sure each section is "soaked" with water before adding a "good amount" of curl cream. Advertisement "I feel like this is a really important step," she explains, "but always brush away from your face. I just feel like this defines the curls so much more." Trailer for the upcoming series of The Princess Diaries starring Princess Andre The magic truly happens with her signature two-step method: finger curling and scrunching. She precisely finger curls her hair to make the curls "so defined," then scrunches her hair, listening for that "squishy noise" that tells her the product is working. After repeating this on all sections, she scrunches her hair with a towel and then flips her head forward to add mousse or gel for extra hold. Advertisement Although she says she doesn't diffuse her hair until it's "fully dry," she does use a diffuser for a little bit before letting the rest air-dry. 4 Princess has also recently renewed a major beauty deal Credit: Instagram The result is her signature head of gorgeous, bouncy waves—all done with minimal heat. Fans flocked to the comments to praise her look, with one writing: "You've always had beautiful hair. Advertisement "Love this pretty girl." Another added: "Beautiful young woman. While a third simply commented: "Beautiful." Princess Andre has renewed her major beauty deal with Studio London for a second year. Advertisement Last year, she was announced as the face of the brand's affordable cosmetics line and will continue to work with them for another 12 months. An insider revealed: 'Princess has been a huge hit with Superdrug and they couldn't wait to snap her up again. 'She has such wide appeal and has already shown just how much she can do for the brand.'
