Asher The King Slayer

I just saw this on a web site chronicling bad baby names, and then I Googled the name and found the hospital’s birth announcement posted online, so it’s real. A baby girl named [name]Asher[/name] The [name]King[/name] Slayer. I won’t link to the birth announcement, but it’s easy to find if you Google.

[name]Asher[/name] the [name]King[/name] Slayer. Honestly, I may be ridiculed for this, but I think it’s so bad that it comes back around to being good again. [name]How[/name] bad-ass is The [name]King[/name] Slayer as a middle name?

This might be appropriate for a comic book character, but certainly not for a real, live, human child. Why would you make a joke of your child’s name? It’s so inconsiderate and embarrassing to the child.

I looked it up. The girl is so cute too. I really hope it is just a joke, but still that is not something you should ever joke about. Isn’t there funnier things to do with their time? I pray that isn’t the girl’s real name.

Kind of like [name]Marvin[/name] Wait For It on [name]How[/name] I Met Your Mother… but again that’s TV, I hope this is just some urban legend thing!

They live in an area with many Native Americans, and judging from the baby’s (cute!) appearance, she might be too. Hopefully the name has some context there…

Could have something to do with [name]Asha[/name] from the ‘A Song of Ice and [name]Fire[/name]’ series.

Sounds like a character in a legend like ‘[name]Red[/name] Beard the Pirate.’ I also hope that she doesn’t grow up to slay kings.
