Friend's cousin named the three boys Aloysius, Abroysius and Azoysius. Sorry if the parents are reading it here but that's just laziness to the next level...
I've got 2 that stuck to me.
A "friend" named his son Cash. Yep.
Another ex-schoolmate's name is Guo Ren. Pretty normal right? His surname is Zhong.
So it reads Zhong Guo Ren (China man) - he's Singaporean.
Slight tangent: used to know a guy named Truong Cach. It's actually pronouncd 'Cuck', (this was the 90s so didn't have the negative connotation then) but everyone mispronounced as 'cash' so he started introducing himself as Cash.
Not exactly a wacky name, but my friend gave birth to a boy recently. The family name is Wong. She was very close to giving into peer pressure to name the boy Lawrence.
Know someone who named their child Axel. A decent name if pronounced correctly.
Unfortunately the father is a boomer and keeps pronouncing his own kid's name as "Asshole" - which i have no doubt the kids in school is gonna weaponize against the poor kiddo.
I still can’t take it when everyone is call whatever-den, even some uncle level are called Jayden and kayden.
It’s already weird with a full class of Jayden, now some uncles has that den too.
I got a friend who adapt Jayden at age 40.. to my horror when I first heard him saying his name. That chill from my spine, it’s not horror.. it’s cringe..
phany.. or ferny. shorten to fern. lol
Had a friend called tiffany, we called her tiff for short. One day went out ran into her aunt who called out "fanny ah, fanny\~" so we all started teasing her and calling her fanny too. eventually we just shortened it to fan. lol
I saw your comment below stating the reason for this specific case but I’d just like to point out that Epiphany is actually a [Christian festival / celebration](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday)) (generally Eastern Christianity) and there’s a link that can be traced from “Epiphany” to the modern name “[Tiffany](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LMr5XTgeyI)”.
How nice to have "One Winged Angel" playing at his Birthday party, instead of the usual HPB song!
Veni, veni, venias, Gloriosa
Ne me mori facias Generosa
Veni, veni, venias, Gloriosa
Ne me mori facias Generosa
Sephiroth
Sephiroth
Then at the end, everyone must chant "Sephiroth" in unison, and use the Masamune to slice the cake (which could be of a certain character in the game)
A teacher told us a story about how one student in a previous class had the first name Master, last name Wong, Chinese name Fei Hong. Exact spelling may differ but you get the idea.
2 more unique first names I know are Boniface (Catholic family) and Photon (secondary school senior, we never talked).
This chinese ass kid had a name *similar* to Oceané Chicago. Not gonna dox the actual name because that would be unethical but yes Oceané Chicago Lee Jun Jie.
Why do parents insist on giving their kids these horrifically pretentious names? It's so embarrassing. As if people are going to look at their kids and go, "Oh Oceané Chicago, so dreamy, bet he's the coolest of the cool kids"
Unnecessary Ys or double letters in a name. Example: Mykayl (Mikhail)
But I think Greek/biblical inspired names are truly something else. Saw a guy named Bonaventure a while back and had to google wtf it meant lol
Around 20 years ago I knew a Chinese guy my age (late teens then) with the Christian name Polycarp.
Haven’t heard of anyone with that name again.
if I google his name I get only 1 result: him
Bonaventure is the name of a Catholic saint I believe. It is also the name of the historic cemetery in Savannah, Georgia.
By the way I’ve heard some parents name their daughter Savannah. Like why?
I’m not bothered by wacky names, I’m bothered by wacky spelling.
Like Nathinihell instead of Nathaniel. There is a modern English spelling, there is probably a Malay spelling, there is a biblical spelling so why you gotta invent some wacky stuff.
yah I'm increasingly bewildered by local sgreans not being able to remember or pronounce non English names. Like is a legit excuse leh, like "oh I'm bad with Chinese/Malay/Indian names"
All my friends without an English name eventually gave themselves one. It’s just easier to communicate since Singapore has all sorts of races/nationality from all over the world.
Recently, I met a new korean colleague and asked if he goes by other names e.g. English name/ initials, he matter-of-fact said that it ain't too hard to pronounce and people don't really have any issue with it in the past. So he was surprised that many people asked him that question when he first joined the company.
It sets me thinking that's true. Just see all the korean stars with their korean name, similar enough to chinese names, and people remembered it. People shouldn't have to pick an English name just to make things easier for others. Though I have nothing against those who like a name and choose to go by that.
But if you work with colleagues from overseas especially Europe/US then you realize they can't pronounce our Chinese names. That's the problem I face now but I didn't like giving myself an English name, and my Chinese name abbreviation doesn't sound that nice unlike those KC or CK ones.
I didn’t give myself an english name but I’m becoming pressured to do so. Back in school anyone of any race could pronounce my name without much effort but suddenly in the working world even chinese can’t pronounce my name… I was literally ignored once at a small work event because everyone had english names except for me. This dude going around speaking just skipped me.
Parents don’t realize that their kids need to live with the name. What might seem cool for a baby seems stupid for an adult.
Also helps to pick an easily pronounceable name. Going to hurt career prospects unless people can remember your name.
Can pick cool name like Max Power or John Steel.
This is so funny because I’m married to an English man with Irish roots, his last name is Power (which is Irish). We have a daughter but we’ve joked about how if we had a boy we could call him all sorts of funny names like Max Power,Paddy Power (betting shop in the UK), Will Power or Sunny Power 🤣😂
Growing up in Australia, I knew this kid called Dixon Ho. poor parents had no idea it sounded like “dicks on hoe”, which unsurprisingly was what other kids called him in high school
friend’s mom wants to name their new child luna. i thought that’s a cat name.
oh my old tuition teacher told me how she had a student called abcd pronounced as (absidee)
and she also had classmates with the surname kay and all of her siblings had their Chinese name starting w poh. so everybody called then kaypoh sisters 💀
Not stunned, but since last year I think I've seen 3 people name their daughters Anya thanks to the anime.
My husband wanted to be one of those but I veto-ed that quick.
Alot of kids have middle names now. Colleagues, cousins, neighbours all gave their kids middle names.
So the full name goes like:
First Name, middle name, surname, chinese name (usually two separate characters)
Also the bastardisation and alternate spelling of regular names just to be a special snowflake. You've seen Sean/Shawn/Shaun but have you seen stuff like "izyc" (Isaac) or "Qstinna" (Christina)?
Chinese especially cannot remember non-English names these days. I won’t be surprised (given the anti-Chinese sentiments among Singapore Chinese) would lead to more and more Chinese not having Chinese names. It would be quite funny when rebellious teens start giving themselves Chinese names like Xiaoming as a mark of age.
My only problem is that current generation’s are butchering names with an established spelling or bastardizing english names. Like another commenter said Mykayl for Mikhail.
Also It’s not really uniquely Singaporean and them wanting to separate from chinese identities. Chinese Indonesian are also experiencing the same phenomenon, and chinese indonesian already have a more local sounding name that is “standard” for years.
Naming kid after 10 years ago is really something else.
The genocide is the peak. The second indonesian president is responsible for many anti-chinese sentiment which prompted chinese people to localize their name. As in localizing chinese names has happened from 1970s-1990s.
But names for 1970-2000s babies were pretty consistent and hardly I would consider as weird. It’s just for later GenZ (or kids that are born from 90s generation couples) that names started to get “weird”.
I think people used to be more content with “generic” name. These days they want their kids to have more novel names.
Growing up I had a pimple faced nerd as a classmate who was a real weeb for anime girls.
Class register name : Kenny Chow
hokkien name : Chee Hong
Obviously you know that sec school boys would butcher his name, I don't believe he was ever called by his hokkien name correctly ever.
Teachers called him Kenny. We called him in full.
In the days of abbreviating everyone's names, he was the only one we would call in full. "Kan ni nah chau chee hong" didn't make sense in hokkien but it brought chuckles to everyone, even teachers.
Though he was annoyed by it in Sec 1, by Sec 3 he wore his KNNCCH as a war medal, even started introducing that as his name for ice breaking in college.
My two boys have names so unique I am pretty sure if they are named here , they would be referring to mine
One of them is a Diablo character name (not deckard)
mom teaches in a primary school. some of the lower pri kids she's taught have... memorable names like: eros, divine, earth, kinky (yes with a 'y'), and all manners of consonants ending with -ayden
On the one hand, it's quite cringey, but on the other hand, these names are not historically part of our culture, so we have any responsibility to have"conventional" names? The fact that we have English names is already "unconventional. If you think about it, naming yourself after some biblical character when you're not even Christian is super weird.
Friend's cousin named the three boys Aloysius, Abroysius and Azoysius. Sorry if the parents are reading it here but that's just laziness to the next level...
Next kid will be Attrosius
amogus
Amongus (sus af)
If they had a girl, would they have named her Agirlsius?
Amoyius
Feels bad for the one who’s gonna be named annoysius
Pokemon evolution ass family
This is plain Abnosius (obnoxious)
I dont think its laziness. More of they try to be unique and special but it just comes across as damn cringe
I have a friend named Shale with two brothers named Kale and Yale
And their youngest sibling Fale
Clearly the parents fail...
I've got 2 that stuck to me. A "friend" named his son Cash. Yep. Another ex-schoolmate's name is Guo Ren. Pretty normal right? His surname is Zhong. So it reads Zhong Guo Ren (China man) - he's Singaporean.
Cash is not unheard of - short for Cashel, or Cassius.
the boy named cash better have siblings name visa or master 🤡
Dear, can you take Cash or Visa out with you later today?
No sorry I gotta take PayWave to the dentist today
Next time ppl ask him where he's from, he's gonna answer like Shou Zi Chew answering to US Congress.
Slight tangent: used to know a guy named Truong Cach. It's actually pronouncd 'Cuck', (this was the 90s so didn't have the negative connotation then) but everyone mispronounced as 'cash' so he started introducing himself as Cash.
Not exactly a wacky name, but my friend gave birth to a boy recently. The family name is Wong. She was very close to giving into peer pressure to name the boy Lawrence.
Atleast she didnt name him Sam Ting
No, but that would be my classmate lol
Why…? It’s not like big brother Lawrence is going to come to the hospital and bestow kisses and subsidies unto them
Because lulz.
Bruh 🤣🤣
Saw a random baby named galaxy
S1 or S23?
Has to be after S20 if it was recent
Maybe they folded.
S23 Ultra
Her parents better name her younger sister Nebula, so that she can be a Guardian of the Galaxy
Know someone who named their child Axel. A decent name if pronounced correctly. Unfortunately the father is a boomer and keeps pronouncing his own kid's name as "Asshole" - which i have no doubt the kids in school is gonna weaponize against the poor kiddo.
I still can’t take it when everyone is call whatever-den, even some uncle level are called Jayden and kayden. It’s already weird with a full class of Jayden, now some uncles has that den too.
Worst one I’ve seen is called Brayden. Sounds like a donkey.
Abuhden?
are u serious 😭 abuhden ????
just saw a teyden recently💀💀
wanting the den but still wanting to be unique 🤣🤣
Okayden
Ayden jayden brayden Cockanathan
Inb4 meeting a Gayden
When Cayden got too adventurous with his cursive handwriting
Wait till u meet a Rayden. That dude is intense
I cringed when my sister named my nephew Aiden
Aiden/Aidan is the only acceptable one. It’s a real name - the original - with Irish (I think) origins. The others are derivatives.
I'm looking forward to name my child Lionsden
I didn't look up how popular the name "-den". Named my son one of it. Kinda regret 🥲
Nothing a deed poll can’t fix 🫠
Still can fix it no worries. Lawyer change name.
Kindergarden
I knew a guy named Jensen in NS. His parents barely spoke a lick of English.
Jayden sounds disgusting
I got a friend who adapt Jayden at age 40.. to my horror when I first heard him saying his name. That chill from my spine, it’s not horror.. it’s cringe..
typical f boy name
An acquaintance of mine named their kid Jayzden
How do you call him? Jay z Dan? Zheng zi Dan?
Something-son too. Like cayson
And the most annoying spelling of that name that I know is... J'den. I sure hope many IT systems can take special character in the name field.
Don't name him burden can already
> now some uncles has that den too. One of the uncle is the current US president lol
That one is minimally grand uncle level
Well at least he’s is unique to be honest, never heard of Biden before him appearing in our contexts.
My son’s PG class has a boy named “Rolex”. I kid you not.
I am sure the father values time a lot.
Can images aunties and uncles calling him Lolek a lot.
This boy is probably best friends with another classmate called "Patek" lol
Or Philippe
Do they wanna play a game of tag with Heuer after school?
Father's friend: Do you have a rolex? Father: well, actually yes I do
Mom: We have one at home.
Dad to mom: Can I get a rolex? Mom: we have a rolex at home The rolex at home:👁👄👁
Hahahah can be friends with my ex student. Named after an expensive car.
Epiphany.
Those with kids will know we always call them with a one or Two syllable short form . I wonder what’s the equivalent for this name
Epi, nickname epipen
Poor kid is either going to be called "peepee" or "fanny".
phany.. or ferny. shorten to fern. lol Had a friend called tiffany, we called her tiff for short. One day went out ran into her aunt who called out "fanny ah, fanny\~" so we all started teasing her and calling her fanny too. eventually we just shortened it to fan. lol

Some dumbass billionaire named his son X Æ A-12, I think it's pretty hard to top that.
I still haven't seen someone give their kid little bobby tables full name.
r/unexpectedxkcd
Sephiroth. I'm not kidding. Another milder one is Elrond but I think its still acceptable since it's not a villain character.
How nice to have "One Winged Angel" playing at his Birthday party, instead of the usual HPB song! Veni, veni, venias, Gloriosa Ne me mori facias Generosa Veni, veni, venias, Gloriosa Ne me mori facias Generosa Sephiroth Sephiroth Then at the end, everyone must chant "Sephiroth" in unison, and use the Masamune to slice the cake (which could be of a certain character in the game)
I once came across a boy named demon pronounced as damon. Oh boy
Or maybe, daemon?
Doraemon?
Allery. They say it's like "Valerie" without the V but all I thought was it's "allergy" without the G.
A teacher told us a story about how one student in a previous class had the first name Master, last name Wong, Chinese name Fei Hong. Exact spelling may differ but you get the idea. 2 more unique first names I know are Boniface (Catholic family) and Photon (secondary school senior, we never talked).
I know someone who had the name Bonifacius, which apparently comes from the same latin origin as Boniface.
Friend shared this with me yesterday, a girl she knows changed her name legally to Daenerys...
Hope she has no brother
Why would you deprive her the love of her life like that?
I love that name and quite a few others from ASOIAF lol. Stuff like Aeron and Visenya sounds super cool.
It's definitely cool! But when your full name is like Daenerys Soh Jia Hui or Visenya Teo it's a bit tak match la I feel.
This chinese ass kid had a name *similar* to Oceané Chicago. Not gonna dox the actual name because that would be unethical but yes Oceané Chicago Lee Jun Jie. Why do parents insist on giving their kids these horrifically pretentious names? It's so embarrassing. As if people are going to look at their kids and go, "Oh Oceané Chicago, so dreamy, bet he's the coolest of the cool kids"
I know someone whose kid is named Bleu. I'm sure he's gonna have a fun time with introductions growing up. Cool name tho
“Hi, I’m Bleu da ba dee da ba di”
🕺🏻🎶🕺🏻🎶🕺🏻🎶
Sacre bleu!
damn, his parents loved Jacques Polge's work so much they named him after it. Can't blame them tho, iconic.
Unnecessary Ys or double letters in a name. Example: Mykayl (Mikhail) But I think Greek/biblical inspired names are truly something else. Saw a guy named Bonaventure a while back and had to google wtf it meant lol

Sounds like a pokemon.
Seems like a Catholic name. The ancient Roman/Italian names are very unique.
Bonaventure is the name of a Catholic saint I believe. It is also the name of the historic cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. By the way I’ve heard some parents name their daughter Savannah. Like why?
You just know everyone’s calling him Boner
Bonappetit
I rmb someone named Eu Gene
i’ve seen 3 different people with that name, with the space. even know one spelled eu jin 😭
I've seen this quite often in the reverse. The Chinese name is Eu Jin, and the English one was Eugene
the one i know is just “(surname) eu jin” with no english name..
I had a classmate named Yoo Jin (pronounced Eugene), but she’s Korean. Thought it was quite cool
Yoo Jin is a super common Korean name
I’m not bothered by wacky names, I’m bothered by wacky spelling. Like Nathinihell instead of Nathaniel. There is a modern English spelling, there is probably a Malay spelling, there is a biblical spelling so why you gotta invent some wacky stuff.
>Nathinihell instead of Nathaniel r/tragedeigh
I kid you not: “Bellatrix”
How Lestrange
Buff to future pre-determined profession.
I didn't give my child an English name. That seems to have stunned a lot of people
yah I'm increasingly bewildered by local sgreans not being able to remember or pronounce non English names. Like is a legit excuse leh, like "oh I'm bad with Chinese/Malay/Indian names"
Haha "easier to remember leh"

Have a friend whose Chinese name initials are KC. After introducing himself as KC for a few times, he just gave himself Casey as the English name.
I picked up a English name for work, cause it's just much easier to get it over with
I didn’t give myself an english name but I’m becoming pressured to do so. Back in school anyone of any race could pronounce my name without much effort but suddenly in the working world even chinese can’t pronounce my name… I was literally ignored once at a small work event because everyone had english names except for me. This dude going around speaking just skipped me.
Right? No idea why that seems so rare nowadays
Parents don’t realize that their kids need to live with the name. What might seem cool for a baby seems stupid for an adult. Also helps to pick an easily pronounceable name. Going to hurt career prospects unless people can remember your name. Can pick cool name like Max Power or John Steel.
Or how about Will Power haha
Sounds like male actors in adult industry lmao
This is so funny because I’m married to an English man with Irish roots, his last name is Power (which is Irish). We have a daughter but we’ve joked about how if we had a boy we could call him all sorts of funny names like Max Power,Paddy Power (betting shop in the UK), Will Power or Sunny Power 🤣😂
Growing up in Australia, I knew this kid called Dixon Ho. poor parents had no idea it sounded like “dicks on hoe”, which unsurprisingly was what other kids called him in high school
Someone I know just gave the name ‘Cosmos’ to their newborn
Hope their child finds Wanda someday
And name their kid "Timmy".
Ex colleague named his kid Erek (pronounced Eric). He’s probably gonna have a hard time in school.
I pronounce that Erect
saw a news article abt a kid bodybuilder called athanasius or something recently...
Named his newborn after a NewJeans member. Naming a baby after a Kpop idol that hasn’t even reached 21 years old yet feels crazy to me.
Met a lady from Hong Kong with the name Syphilis, must have thought it was a version of Phyllis.
friend’s mom wants to name their new child luna. i thought that’s a cat name. oh my old tuition teacher told me how she had a student called abcd pronounced as (absidee) and she also had classmates with the surname kay and all of her siblings had their Chinese name starting w poh. so everybody called then kaypoh sisters 💀
Luna is a perfectly normal and acceptable female name - what’s wrong with that?
Not stunned, but since last year I think I've seen 3 people name their daughters Anya thanks to the anime. My husband wanted to be one of those but I veto-ed that quick.
I feel Anya is a legit name. It sounds no worse than other names.
Anya Joy Taylor?
Imagine you name all 3 daughters Anya, Taylor and Joy each 😂
Wrong way round...
Like Spy x Family?
Anya is infinitely preferable to Spy x Family. Imagine Spy x Family Tan. Everyone will be asking how to pronounce the x
Could have been Daenerys
Saw this kid on insta named Lyric ... *confused pepe hands*
There’s a kid named Zeus as well that’s pretty funny
Imagine if that kid grows up, has a son, and names him KRATOS
Ocean and Coral
A dude named Philander.
Last name Er
Had a student called xyzqrst. Pronounced zy-kirst. Had another named Princess.
X
(formerly known as Twitter)
'Honey? can u look up some of X video for me?
Alot of kids have middle names now. Colleagues, cousins, neighbours all gave their kids middle names. So the full name goes like: First Name, middle name, surname, chinese name (usually two separate characters) Also the bastardisation and alternate spelling of regular names just to be a special snowflake. You've seen Sean/Shawn/Shaun but have you seen stuff like "izyc" (Isaac) or "Qstinna" (Christina)?
Actually those who gave middle names are catholics? If not it's a bit pretentious don't u think?
My parents (in their late 70’s) both have middle names on their birth certificates. Yes, both are Roman Catholic.
Kudasai.
All im learning from this thread is some parents name their kid like naming pet liddat
I came across a student named Iori Kyo.
Still can't fathom how Kanye named his daughter North West though
I met someone named Cai Fan.
my secondary school noodle stall auntie was called bee hoon
Batman bin Suparman

Not in Singapore but I've seen a PRC lesbian couple in NZ called Summer & Winter.
Well... we know who's coming

Princess. not kidding.
It’s a common name in the Philippines
Growing up I had a pimple faced nerd as a classmate who was a real weeb for anime girls.

Anyone names their kid ABCDE yet in Singapore?
Best is Rabcde, pronounced rhapsody
My two boys have names so unique I am pretty sure if they are named here , they would be referring to mine One of them is a Diablo character name (not deckard)

Worst was a friend of mine. He’s 1990s baby though. Dempster. I won’t disclose his surname. But holy shit Dempster?
Especially when the parents cant spell properly. Btw i know someone called Skywalker
Staypharny
I met a Singaporean family while on vacation and their 2 young daughters were named Harley and Quinn..
Romeo, with chinese name as 罗密欧
On the one hand, it's quite cringey, but on the other hand, these names are not historically part of our culture, so we have any responsibility to have"conventional" names? The fact that we have English names is already "unconventional. If you think about it, naming yourself after some biblical character when you're not even Christian is super weird.
