Baby Names

Title text: I've been trying for a couple years now but I haven't been able to come up with a name dumber than 'Renesmee'.

Explanation

The punchline for this one is in the title text as Renesmee is the name of Renesmee Cullen, who is the baby born in the book and movie, Breaking Dawn to parents Edward and Bella. Edward and Bella get "Renesmee" from an amalgamation of the names of Bella's mother, Renée, and Edward's adoptive mother, Esme.

Randall's point above stands. All those names are terrible, but not nearly as terrible as the name Renesmee.

Discussion

"Old lady" names like Edith or Margaret are also pretty awful for a girl. She's gonna have to live her early years with a name that makes her sound like she's 50. Davidy²²[talk] 13:13, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
