Picking a name for your baby isn’t easy and certain things can ruin a perfectly good name and take it out of the running forever. For example, you’re probably not going to name your new bundle of joy after your worst roommate ever, the worst kid in your elementary school class, or your ex.

But according to a new survey from parenting site ChannelMum, some names that were once pretty popular are now no-nos because of negative cultural associations. Case in point: Alexa. It was one of the most popular girls’ names in 2016, but thanks to Amazon’s virtual assistant, no one wants to name their daughter after a device now.

These are some other once-popular names new parents are passing over these days.

Girls' names:

Alexa – because of Amazon's Alexa.
Felicia – because of the “Bye, Felicia” meme.
Kate – because people still love Kate Middleton, but now they’re obsessed with Meghan Markle.
Scarlett – because parents prefer other colors today, like Violet.
Lauren – because so many reality TV stars have the name, apparently.

Boys’ names:

Stan – because of the hashtag #Stan, which stands for 'stalker fan' in the world of Twitter
Harvey – because of Harvey Weinstein, naturally.
Christian – because of “Fifty Shades of Grey” and some consider it too religious.
Ryan – because of Irish budget airline, Ryanair
Ollie – because it’s the name of a dog food brand caught up in a YouTube challenge where humans ate dog food and no one wants to name their baby after that.

The most popular boy name in Singapore is Kayden, Aiden and any name ending with "den". Go at any shopping centre and you'll hear "Kayden stop running" with at least 3 boys turning around

I would like my grandsons to have the name "Loong".
 
I suggest they try these names:

Kuan Yew

Hsien Loong

Hsien Yang

Ching (not Ho, Ho is the suname)

Chun Sing

Pritam

Soon Juan

See Tong

Is KirSTEN one of those popular names as well?

I tried Googling "Kirsten Singapore". All I found is a Butch and a Pig.

They might as just call their boy Garden. At least he will stand out from the rest.

you just wait, there will be a time when some idiot will name their kid; arbuden! :p
 
Motherfucker your children will have no semen or egg!

Why not? You can start with Loong Ni One, Loong Ni Two, and so on. Then you can refer to them collectively as Loonies.

How about Ho ho Ho lah Ho Lose Ho Fai

I was thinking that my grandson could be named Tan Loong or Tan Loong Yew. My granddaughter could be named Tan Ching or Tan Gek Choo. It would be an honor to name my grandkids after Singapore's founding father and mother, or after our current PM and his blessed wife who has been hitting home run after home run while managing our CPF and national reserves.

more befitting would be tan tarpow 1, tan tarpow 2 and so on - keeps the family name (and not to mention, the tradition) alive. long live the tarpow clan and kings, collectively! :p
