Legend

Incredibly over-the-top and arrogant. If I met someone who named their kid Legend, I would assume they’re a total narcissist. I have no idea how this got into the top 200.

I can't believe people are actually named this, I would die (in Minecraft) if I had that name.

Wouldn't work well in the UK.

Mock-worthy and pretentious. What happens when Legend doesn’t become one?

This name full-on screams pretentious and pompous at the same time.

Cringey!

How is this a NAME! The poor kid.

A stupid, incredibly corny-sounding name. It seems like every English vocabulary word has to be a name these days.

If you think about naming your kid this introduce yourself as Legend for a week to everyone you meet and then watch people trying to hold back a chuckle. Then, if you are still sure about it you can call your child Legend (but you will not because people will chuckle).

This would be such an embarrassing name to have. Can you even imagine having to live with that name?

Imagine you are a shy, awkward child with no self confidence having to say "Hi, I'm Legend".

I feel so bad for everyone with that name, it is so much to live up to. And yes, all parents think that their kids are the best and the greatest but they might end up having a shy/awkward phase, no self confidence, glasses and pimples in puberty and might not be athletic and just want to fit it. And that is fine, everyone goes through that stage. But imagine having to go through that phase as Legend. People will chuckle when you introduce yourself.

This is such an narcissistic "my kid is going to be THE best" kind of name that it's embarrassing and a true burden for the child.

It's different so I like it.

And when someone asks "Who has my phone (or any other object)?" "Legend has it."

I don't actually think this is that bad of a name. I'd never use it, but I've honestly seen much worse.

I see why this name is so critically acclaimed. I just don't agree! I love it! I used it on a doll when I was younger, a little basketball player, Legend Whitaker.

I know someone named Legend! He wants to change his name.

I actually really like Legend for a name. I think it's strong, beautiful and unique. It's suitable for either gender, in my opinion, but I'd probably prefer it a little more for a boy. I think it would age pretty well, too, like I can see it on a little kid, teenager, adult and senior.

(P.S. I think Legendary would be a nice alternative, as well.)

Another one of these currently trendy names that isn't going to age very well. I also know someone who named their daughter Legacy... except they spelled it "Legacie". So trashy.

Original does not mean better, this is the perfect example.

Trying too hard.

If it doesn't sound like it should be a name, don't use it.

Leg end also comes to mind.

Hilarious and awful. Mostly awful.

It feels sort of weird as a name.

I can't believe that this is in the top 300. I've lost faith in humanity.

Lol, the growing popularity of this name in America just shows how narcissistic we are becoming.

3 people with a negative opinion on such an awesome unique name! That's my youngest (and soon to be middle) son's name. I've NEVER had a negative opinion in regards to the name we chose for him. Legend Charles born November, 2014.

How dumb, pompous, and embarrassing. This name wouldn't even suit a pet or fictional character.

A person with this name won't develop a superiority complex. No, not at all!
