While looking for male and female saint names that would appeal to parents, I discovered many names that belong at the other end of the spectrum.

But a post full of hundreds of horrible-yet-holy names? That would’ve taken up quite a bit of space. So I whittled it down to a few dozen:

Female	Male
St. Austreberta St. Begga St. Burgundofara St. Emerentiana St. Eustochium St. Exuperantia St. Frideswide St. Milburga St. Monegundis St. Perseveranda St. Pharaildis St. Praepedigna St. Radegundis St. Walburgis St. Waltrude	St. Agathopodus St. Ansgar St. Aphthonius St. Asclepiodotus St. Barsanuphius St. Chrodogangus St. Clodulphus St. Ctesiphon St. Droctoveus St. Ebrulfus St. Erkembode St. Ethbinus St. Ethelwoldus St. Flosculus St. Fronto	St. Grimoaldus St. Homobonus Pope St. Hormisdas St. Lupus St. Mappalicus St. Nonnosus St. Paphnutius St. Phlegon St. Polyaenus St. Quodvultdeus St. Scubiculus St. Smaragdus St. Torquatus St. Wallabonsus St. Wandregisilus

Which would sound the most ridiculous on a modern American child, do you think?
