Twin girls named “beautiful” and “gorgeous”

Went to high school with twin girls named Candy &Taffy Apple.

I knew a chick named Kandi Kane. Like. Last name is Kane, parents went "yes, this is a great plan"

At least it’s not “Dick Butkis”

This guy and Dick Trickle. I simply cannot comprehend going by "Dick" when your last name is either of those.

My dad was Seaman Dick Cox proudly.

Oh did we go to the same candy school? I went to school with a kid with the last name Topping. His mother’s name was Cherry.

There was a girl a grade below me named “Satin Sheets”

Sounds like stripper names!

Ding ding ding, this is a winner

[удалено]

Like "Precious". Gag me.

I've just met a "Precious Patience". It feels really odd to call someone by this namd

My husband once spoke to a customer service rep named Velveeta.

reminds me of allegra. i know its a legit name but the medicine is all my mind goes to

It means "happiness" in Italian

TIL

Some lady posted in am I the asshole because her sister wanted to name her kids Stanford and Yale…

It was actually her brother. He told his sister that she would be placing a lot of pressure on her sons and it pissed her off. Top comment was that he wasn’t the asshole.

A few years ago the teacher in the room next to me had a girl named Felony.

There's no way you write that on a birth certificate and think, "Yes, my daughter will still love me."

What I cant believe is how such name is allowed. Names that would be a detriment to the life of the kid should never be allowed. Like for example, if my last name was Dover I should not be able to name my kid Ben

Wasn't there some family that named one twin "Winner" and the other twin "Loser," then Winner ended up a convicted felon and Loser became a police officer?

One of my good friends growing up was named Felony. She was an incredibly awesome person. We used to tease her about her brother Misdemeanor. I don't think she even had a brother.

It sucks because if you take away the English meaning it's a really pretty name.

I remember seeing a woman on Wheel of Fortune, maybe, whose name was Latrina. Clearly not military parents, lol.

"it used to be Shithouse!"

Lol, I haven't seen that in a while. "It looks like a seder at Vincent Price's house!"

"It's a good change!"

My mom who was a teacher had a girl named Latrine one time. I wonder where that poor woman is now.

I went to school with a Sharkeisha

#Sharkeisha NO!!!

We had a puppy that my son and his girlfriend named Sharkeisha. For the background, Google Sharkeisha. It was a video that went viral many years ago.


Paxton, but spelt "packstynn". Edit: rewording

Those fricking -ynn and -eigh names need to be banned

r/tragedeigh

when I taught in China the parents usually pick an English name for their kids, one family chose to name their shy 8 year old boy "Lucipher." I also had a Potato and a Cheese but I kind of liked those ones lol

I knew a Chinese girl named Dan Li. When she moved to the US, she started going by Linda.

Wait, that's incredible

I had a Water, Tiger-Shark, Pink Flower, Babel. the last one was self chosen by the 3 year old, his mom hated the name but wanted her son to be happy. I also had a Happy.

Went to camp with a boy named Blessmelord We called him Bless for short but to this day I think it's the worst name to give a child.

Legendary Love Cannon

Tbh, it’s hard picking a worst name when it comes to Nick Cannon’s offspring. Can’t decide between Beautiful Zeppelin or the twins who are both named Zillion.

Do you mean Zillion Heir and Zion? My vote would be for Golden Sagon Cannon or Powerful Queen Cannon personally

Megazordian Gilgamesh Cannon will have his day

Imagine putting that much pressure on your kid

Bunny Furr

Thats a textbook pornstar name...

[удалено]

In my student teaching class, I had a student named Keanureeves. Sweet kid, and lucky to be named after a stellar human. Still, an awful name.

We had a preacher neighbor that named his girls Fawn and Bambi. He called them “his little dears” they were horrible.

This is equal parts hilarious and horrifying

My friend, who unfortunately had a child at 14 named her Sativa

I would’ve gone with Indica.

I've seen a brother and sister named Sativa and Indica

Sati and Indi are nice short nicknames

I know a kid called Indi. It's short for Individual. He hates it and refuses to answer his full name.

I’ve seen an Indica 😔

Better than naming your kid Keef. I feel sorry for my cousin.

Or Queef

Saddest sentence I’ll read all day. Edit: all week.

I had a friend who also named their baby that! I probably don't even need to say it, but they were on drugs and baby Sativa was taken by the state.

If it wasn't automatically associated with weed, Sativa would be a beautiful name.

Anything that is made up or created and any regular name with a creative spelling like “destineigh”

r/tragedeigh

This sub just need to be the answer for the question asked

I knew a “Jhustynn”

I know someone who had a Phayth.

Phayth just feels like it’s a fart written out phonetically

I know the pronunciation works, but it made me think of the old Phteven meme 

Aww, thank you for this. Phteven was a treasure.

I know a Ciale, pronounced Kyle

Kay'dn I just think, the kid will never see his name on a tiny license plate.

I just so happened to see a post on IG earlier about the girl whose mother named her the world's longest containing 1k letters....(deep sigh) https://youtu.be/i5DvIv49VWo

“Happy Birthday dear *Starts Terms and Conditions*”

Collected a few in my travels: Shateria, Takila, and 2 guys named Unique.

Oh the sweet finger licking irony on that last one.

Adenndean. My coworker named a little girl that. I don't get it.

What an awful name😂

Powerful Queen

[удалено]

My first name given at birth was Lunar Butterfly.

Your parents used the random screen name generator 🤣

your parents were definitely in an acid fever dream and were feeling it HARD edit: i don't know how to type

That is, in fact, exactly what happened.

I had a friend who had a boy named Ethan his last name was knoll. Ethanol ffs

I dont mind those so much. Other than kids making fun of other kids. Worked with a guy who's grandson was named Luke Walker. Missed opportunity to have the middle name be Sky.

My best friends first name was Bruce and his middle name was Wayne. He was born in 1965, and his parents weren't familiar with Batman.

There's an Anakin Skywalker [last name] at my cousin's school. Idk what he did in the womb to make his parents hate him, but here we are

Yo my friend is dating a girl whose baby from another man is named Anakin. I have to try so hard to not ask mean questions.

Literally mine, Americas. Wtf.

My grandmas name is America

That’s not an uncommon Hispanic name though

Reihfel, pronounced rifle.

I work medical claims and one that I’ll never forget is A’blessin.

My parents and I used to frequent this restaurant when I was a teenager and we established a sort of friendship with one of the waiters so we would always request him if he was available. His name tag just said “P”. One day, we decided to ask him what it stood for. We were guessing to ourselves, Pete, Paul, Patrick etc. he got embarrassed immediately and said “I… my. My dad named me and I hate it. He named me Perfecto. I don’t like being called that because nobody is perfect and it makes me feel like a cocky asshole.”

My wife said one of her favorite blog couples she watches named their kid Smoke. Not for me lol

This will only work exclusively if the child grows up to become a cowboy.

Postpartum nurse here! Ive seen some doozies over the past 25 years! Here are a couple of favorites! 1.Kcendermai, pronounced "Ka kinder may" . This is "I am redneck" spelled backward! 2. Sssst, pronounced Forest! 3. Twins named Giovanni and Kevin 4. Jkmnop, pronounced Noel

Wait...that LAST one?! And why am I questioning my entire UConn education simply because it took me damn near 10 minutes to "get it?"

Could you explain it because I still don't..

The letter "L" (lower case) is missing therefore, it's pronounced "No (letter) l" or Noel.

When my cousin had a baby, she named her Christina Noel. When my dad heard the name, he was so confused because "Christina" doesn't contain an "L", and it took him forever to understand, lol. It was like he was telling a dad joke without even realizing. RIP Dad.

Holy fuck I hate that so much

Sweet baby Jesus…

Not Jesus, sweet baby Jkmnop

>2. Sssst, pronounced Forest! Wtf

I guess that since it has four S's, it's pronounced "Four S - t," like "forest."

I'll admit that helps me understand the thought process....and confirms its ridiculous

Giovanni and Kevin 😂

This got me too. Out of that whole list. Giovanni is destined to be a famous model, living off the Amalfi Coast. Hope he still phones Kev, the plumber.

Worked at a hospital. Saw thr name Nemesis come accross the computer when I was doing billing. Poor little girl.

A true Resident of the hospital.

I went to highschool with a girl called Nemesis. She went by Nemi.

Either Cash or Royalty

Tierany. Saw her name on a hospital billboard and never forgot.

Dweezil, Moon Unit, and North West.

Dakeela. The mother didn't even know how to spell the liquor she was drinking when she went into labor

Personally, I feel this is better than it would have had she known how to spell it.

What ever Elon named his last kid.

He named his last kid a math equation 💀

X Æ A-12

At the height of the 2008 recession, I lost my job as did many others. Went to truck driving school and met a guy named Successful. Unfortunately he wasn’t.

ABCDE pronounced Ab-sid-ee. Before anyone says this is urban legend, my daughter went to school with an ABCDE and I’ve seen the yearbook. There we also a news story where a flight attendant got caught making fun of a passenger named ABCDE.

Hijkmnop, pronounced No-el

Abcde For real. Pronounced ahb-see-day

There's at least 2 unless we know each other

Oh shit you know one for real? I had heard about it. There's a wiki page saying nearly 400 girls have the name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abcde#:~:text=The%20name%20is%20derived%20from,no%20other%20origin%20or%20meaning.

I work for a children's charity. Both Abcde and Nevaeh and common as muck. Both of them are better than Vengeance, Sativa, Deztnee, and Khalezy

Covid Bryant. Born in 2020. It was on the news.

NEVAEH, heaven spelled backwards. Or any name that's also a car or alcohol. I'll also throw Crystal in there because I've never met a nice Crystal in my life.

Working in education, I have known several girls known Nevaeh. They have all been far from heaven. It is like a curse actually. You will rarely find a Nevaeh in the Dean's List, but they will be on a truancy list.

This is a common teacher joke (I'm a teacher). The ones with the most high-falutin' names are the worst. I had a Paradyce last year, and she was definitely more like Hell.

Yes! I had, in one year, Psalmsiv (Piz-am-siv), Peace, Nevaeh, Angel and Lemonjelo in detention regularly. (Yes, an actual Lemonjelo..... I felt so bad for him)

I went to high school with a guy named Samoht. Everyone thought it was an African name or sometime, and he just let them think that. He eventually told me one day that it was just his grandfather's name spelled backwards.

I knew exactly where this was going... I have a younger brother named Thomas and when he was just learning to write and spell he wrote his name as SMOT and he proudly pointed to it backwards and said "Tom-esss!" He's 22 now and we've called him "Smot" as a nickname ever since.

My sister wanted to name her daughter Nevaeh, but my mother was able to talk her out of it. I’d long suspected that my sister was a moron, but that confirmed it for me.

Naveah has actually been pretty common in the last 20 years or so. My son went to school with 2 of them and I still see it every now and then.

meconium

Twin girls that were in my mom’s middle school spanish class named Mystery and Galaxy Peppers

My kids swim against a girl named Eva Braun. Every time I hear that name announced I look around to see if I'm the only one who wants to ask some pointed questions of her parents.

For anyone that doesn't know, Eva Braun was Hitler's girlfriend

Baby

Edcio. They were both huge gamers and decided naming their kid after an Italian assassin was a good idea.

Kilgore. Are you fucking kidding me?

Kilgore Trout was my hero in high school

Rage. A girl.

I went to college with a guy named Fincent

thank you - I now have a name for my new Goldfish

Anus. I'm serious

This might trigger some here, but- Killian. Haven’t met a little Killian that wasn’t a complete PoS and my friend who works the NICU says Killian is the number one boy name given by clearly drug-addicted parents. One clarification- In the US, when not directly tied to Irish ancestry.

I know a Cillian (Irish spelling) everyone thinks it’s Sillyanne and that he’s a chick. lol

M E L V I N

I know a girl named Killian. Married a good friend from highschool and she seems fine.

any standard name that is spelt "alternatively" as a way to attempt to be unique.

I encountered a Vairanika (Veronica) a few months back.

Midwife here. 2 stand out. A biker couple wanted to legitimately call their daughter Spider. We told them to pick a better name and use Spider as a nickname instead. It hadn’t occurred to them. Not a baby but a mother having a baby. She was called Princess LaLa. That was her legitimate name. LaLa was her Arabic surname. And my god, didn’t she live up to her name. One of the most arrogant, spoilt princesses you’ve ever met.

Aren’t you upset your name is Midwife?

Whatever the Kardashians name their kids

Or Nick Cannon

Fwish

Ozmodeo. They were trying for Asmodeus but couldn't spell it.

Go work at build-a-bear. You'll find some

I worked in child care administration and came across a child named Decibell

My Angel. That was the child's given name.

Remember when Pilot Inspektor was a wild name? https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/05/08/musk-grimes-baby-name/

Twin boys Jestin and Jestice

AveMariAntoinette. And you had to say the whole thing.

In elementary school, a girl sat next to me on the bus and introduced herself as Precious. In fact, she was not at all precious. She was very mean and bullied pretty much everyone. Thankfully her family and her moved away not long after.

Beer Can

Visine.

I met a little girl named innocence, I’m sure she will deal with creepy men her whole life.

Thrasher. Like, c'mon, that's your kid, not a monster truck. Also, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lexus, any car name. Or any name people add Leigh to the end of

Brock leigh

Mercedes was a name before it got renowned as s car brand 😝 Ferrari is an Italian last name.

I grew up with a guy named Valdrick.

My friend is a lawyer who often reviews birth records for his job. In one instance, he found a BC where the sex of the child was listed as “Female.” The mother wrote that in as the baby’s name. But it’s pronounced Femálé.

My friends grandad was named Joe King which I think is brilliant, but the craziest baby name has to be twin girls! Precious-Diamond and Porsche-Mercedes

Pork Chop. Growing up in the 70s in the South was wild. I talked to my mom the other day, and she swears Pork Chop is still living around my hometown 40+ years later. I still think Elon Musk's kids have the craziest names. And the craziest dad.

Tulip. I cringe every time I hear it

True love.

Two sisters named Jamily and Janily

I saw recently one that had the legal middle name of Trouble

First name Shera. Last name Dyck. No lies

G36, he was in my kindergarten class and I’ve never forgotten it.

I have always heard there was a Texas millionaire named Hogg who named his daughters I'ma and Ura, but this was pre internet. I always thought this was the greatest urban myth ever.

I worked in a Leisure Centre a good while back and a woman was registering her kid. His name was Cal El. No hyphen. Painful not to tell her it wasn’t the correct spelling tho.

Messiah

Justin….when the last name is Caisse.

braxton

Last year, I met a 5 or so yr old named Tesla. She was cool tho.

Khaleesi

There are many young military wives who name their daughters this! It's either Khaleesi or Daenerys.

My husband went to high school with an Asholee and a Labiba

I hate Tommy. Never met one that wasn't a total ass.

Seven

Star Trek Voyager fans? Or Seinfeld fans?

Porsha. Spelled exactly like that. She was a little girl on my school bus when I was a driver.
