OMGLists' eight worst sitcom character names ever
OMGLists has listed the eight worst sitcom names ever on television. This list is a trip down memory lane. Some of the names are so embedded in our minds (probably because they come from such beloved shows) that until you read them in the context of this list, you probably didn't ever think of them as terrible names. I don't want to spoil your fun and say too much about who's included on the list so I will only mention one character: Topanga from Boy Meets World. This name was a no brainer for me -- at least it would have been a few months ago before I moved to Los Angeles from New York. I didn't realize there was actually a place in L.A. called Topanga Canyon. I even thought of Boy Meets World when we went there for a hike.
I'll stop before I get too anecdotal but the point is that I thought the show made up a ridiculous name to go with the ridiculous character. Now, I know better so I flinched a bit when I saw her on the list. I was like, "Hey, she's named after that canyon here in Southern California. That's all." (By the way, I fully realize that her name was probably explained on the show but I either missed it or wasn't paying attention. It's probably the latter.)
Check out the list. It's good fun.
