There was a time classic, and traditional names ruled the baby name world. Even though the love for the classic names remains the same, we feel they sound boring with the changing of time. Instead, a bad but sweet name will do better. A bad name never emphasises that a boy or a man is evil. It only lets the world know that the guy is cool as well as adventurous.
