Choosing sweet names for your children is a meaningful task for new mums and dads since those chosen names last forever.
For this reason, tons of people are appalled by shocking baby names given to a set of twins.
A Reddit thread was created for people to analyse the name choices of fraternal twins born in 1978 but has since morphed into something else.
The boy was named Nagasaki and the girl was named Hiroshima, The US Sun reports.
Nagasaki and Hiroshima are two Japanese cities that faced devastating atomic bomb attacks from the United States.
The attacks took place in August 1945, wiping out between 129,000 and 226,000 people.

Half of the people on Reddit have turned the conversation into a joke.
Other Redditors are completely offended that a mother would choose names like these.
“I wonder what the fallout of having those names will be,” one person jokingly wrote.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, those kids are the bomb,” another added.
“I thought it was because during the pregnancy their mother had noxious gas,” a third jokester wrote.
“Changing diapers in that house will be an ordeal, I’ll betcha,” another person playfully commented.
“They might just grow up to be Da Bomb!,” another making light of the situation added.
Some Redditors are too shocked to make jokes though.
“Reminds me of the couple that named their kid Adolf Hitler,” One person said:
“Risky. Very toxic names by the sounds of it,” another concerned Redditor wrote.
Other people have tried to make sense of the twins’ names by assuming the best.
“I’m just going to pretend that’s someone’s twisted way of commemorating the bombings of those cities,” someone said.
“I love these baby names. They are named after remarkable Japanese cities that have re-arisen from the ashes of earthly hell,” another wrote.
