Toiletta /tɔjlɛ́tə/ (female)

After its 2013 debut, this name was unanimously reviled by critics. Such a unified declaration of critical hatred is quite rare in the baby-naming industry. Rarer still is for such a widely despised name to suddenly win the critics over, as this one did only five quarters after its release. Many experts have speculated on the ultimate cause of this sudden and dramatic shift in opinion and, at this point, there are nearly as many theories as there are critics! We would do well to view this name’s story as a cautionary tale. Let it remind us that no critic is infallible, and often the most violent critical reactions are the ones we should trust the least.
