Woman Wants To Know If Baby’s Name Is Too Similar To Ted Bundy

Others shared their experiences with names that had similar negative connotations:

“I have a friend who has a very similar name to a well-known serial killer. He has to wind up basically apologizing for his name wherever he goes, even though he has absolutely no relation to the guy. It’s pretty sad. There are many ways you can honor your husband’s grandfather without giving the baby such an unfortunate name.”

“My initials were ‘KKK’ growing up. Not on purpose, my parents did not put that together. The kids at school, however, did so quickly. I was labeled a Klan member for a decade. Kids can be shitty, sure, but don’t make it easy for them.”
