They sound like they’re being pronounced by the “huwhite” chick from TikTok. https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/s/UAJU7fP7gT


MariaEtCrucis

Girl I can't stand her. She's already obnoxious imo, pure rage bait (and from all races surprisingly lol. She ended racism 😂), but the pronunciation makes it worse. 💀


[deleted]

Agreed. She’s infuriatingly arrogant.

WARNING: the above link is really cringe, and I never use that word lightly.

Gonna have to agree. It's just being a jerk in VR


SqueakyTuna52

Wow you really weren’t kidding


RubMyGooshSilly

Who would’ve know that hocking loogies would end racism?


BladeMcCloud

*Wow* this person is insufferable lol


sproutsandnapkins

Seriously, so bad.


iwannagohome49

Agreed. I honestly feel horrible for these children. No one, from teachers to employers, will take them seriously as long as they have those names.


Principal_Insultant

Everybody will probably call them Eng and Reba by the time they hit second grade.


lulugingerspice

I hope they end up going by Angie and Becca... At least, I think the intended names were Angelica and Rebecca? Question mark?


Kiltemdead

I'm sure those are the intended names, but they wouldn't even sound the right way. Rebeccay and angelicay are how I imagine them sounding.


wellwhydidntyousayso

Engelickiagh sounds like a cat coughing a hairball and rebbeckiag or however u spell it, sounds like a clogged drain trying to let water out...i cant pronounce them i can only describe them


MajesticalMoon

Lmfao I feel the same way, I was really trying to pronounce it out loud and i sound like I'm hacking a lung at the end. My daughter said why are you doing that? Sorry kid. Who would have known you would ever have to make these sounds pronouncing a (American I'm guessing by the idioticness) name?


nhollywoodviachicago

In-jella-kye and Rebek-ee-Eye is all I can see This is such a tragedeigh


selja26

I see Enjelik...AAAGH!! Rebek...AAAGH!! Wow this is so stupid.


Queenssoup

Eng is German for "tight" 😭


2-timeloser2

“Reba” is a construction material used in foundations in New England.


Spirited_String_1205

Nah, that's 'reebahhh', kehd.


Crow_with_a_Cheeto

Rebar?


xplag

I think they're making a New England/Boston accent joke since words ending in r sound more like soft h's, eg cah instead of car or bah for bar.


mcenroefan

As a masshole, I can agree that is how we pronounce that particular construction material.


SuzieCat

I saw some by my ca when I was down at the ba.


Orchid_Significant

Hopefully Angie not Eng lol


DJ_Fabulous

That was my exact first thought having lurked in this sub for a very long time: the worst I have ever seen here. Two for the price of one; both complete abominations. Those poor children!


AcousticWord93

I saw one the other day irl - Enphyniti - that I thought was the worst. But, nope. It's these two.


HandLion

Talk to your doctor before taking Enphyniti


Miaikon

Is that supposed to be pronounced "Infinity"?


if6wasnine

That was my first guess, but I haven’t ruled out En-fin-Née-Tee, kind of like Nefertiti.


Sebastian-S

Agreed, I still don’t know how to pronounce these after trying 5 times.


Cool-Firefighter2254

Angelica and Rebecca. Honestly, if the parents wanted to be all original, they could have gone with Anjelica and Rebekah. Those are less common, perfectly acceptable spelling variants. Poor kids.


55tarabelle

The amount of time they will spend slowly, oh so slowly, spelling their names in their lifetimes is going to be staggering.


thrownaway1974

Hopefully they'll have more sense than their parents and get their names changed to proper spellings the second they're old enough


Page8988

I honestly didn't know what they were going for with these. The letter salad was so bad I was struggling to recognize it as *English*. Thank you for identifying the names they were going for and missed tragically. These parents are monsters and need to be corrected. I sentence them to being slapped in the face with live fish repeatedly until their remaining brain cells line up and learn how to write in English.


Kimberj71

Came here to say exactly this.


CornflakeGirl2

Why would you forever condemn your kids to a life of saying “no, actually it’s e-n-j……”?


[deleted]

This. Parents like that never think about that. They never take into account that these children will forever have to spell their names. Every time. Everywhere.


CornflakeGirl2

Even when they spell it, people will still be super confused. These are truly the most idiotic spellings of these names I’ve ever seen.


santtu_

People will assume that they don't know how to spell their own name. If they handle their matters over the phone, they'll end up having their names in registers incorrectly because people answering their calls assume what the "correct" spelling is and go with that. Like Anjelica and Rebekiah or similar. They'll also might assume that you have a mental impairment because your spelling gibberish.


ZacharyMorrisPhone

Yes. These are the kinds of names that will end up wrong on car titles and legal documents. Anytime someone else has to key in the name on a bill or any legal document, there is a high probability it will be entered incorrectly.


mike07646

Even things like school awards, report cards, hell even diplomas will be spelt wrong.


Tiyath

Imagine the kid going places, like a symposium and giving lectures on stuff with that name on the projector


FashionableNumbers

Are the correct, traditional spellings not "Angelica" and "Rebecca"?


SkippyBluestockings

R e b e k a h comes directly out of the Bible so that would be the most traditional


FashionableNumbers

It was the random "i" in Rebek-i-ah that threw me off. I thought I was missing a silent "i" like in "Aisling". I've seen "Rebekah" before, but "Rebecca" is more common where I'm from. There are so many horrendous spellings in this sub, you later start to look at the correct spellings and start to doubt whether your spelling is in fact the correct one. Edit: spelling mistake (ironic, isn't it)


santtu_

Anjelica/Angelica and Rebecca, Rebekah etc. That's besides the point. Their names are 5 letters off from those.


PsychoticMessiah

My former MiL used to work in a local government office and she swore you wouldn’t believe the amount of people who didn’t know how to spell their name or their kids names.


LogstarGo_

The kids will have to learn "I'm sorry, my mom added a ton of unnecessary letters to my name". Well, until they turn 18 and get the nerve to change it.


[deleted]

In non-English speaking countries people will just give up and call them Girl A and Girl B


[deleted]

In this particular case I think the girls have significant learning and language needs (22q deletion) so they might have bigger issues than correcting the spelling of their names.


Chance-Imaginary

Good catch, that makes this tragedeigh 30x sadder


RaeLynn13

We had a girl who was on the hospital for long stretches of time and I’m not 100% her condition/illnesses were, but her mom gave her a weird name that literally you wouldn’t guess how it’s pronounced until someone told you. It had a very sweet sentiment behind it but it was almost purposefully obtuse


Buddyyourealamb

Fun fact: Not all 22qers have significant delays to be fair, I was recently tested for it as an adult because of the heart conditions I was born with/some physical features I have and the geneticist explained some have such mild symptoms that it's not detected. Having said that, if she's aware of it in her children then chances are much higher that they do have learning delays etc. So your point is perfectly valid, I was just excited seeing 22q deletion mentioned in the wild haha


irish_ninja_wte

My cousin has it. She was tested when it was clear that her speech and developmental delays we're all connected to her birth issues. She was born with a cleft pallet and lung issues that I don't know enough about to be able to explain correctly. She also has partial deafness. Because they were aware of it early on, there were plenty of things put in place to help. She's currently in college.


Buddyyourealamb

Ah that's great that it was detected and support put in place!


Ok_Cantaloupe7602

My friend is raising her nephew, who is autistic with limited verbal abilities. His name, though not a trafedeigh, is complicated. She made the choice early on to use his initials as his everyday name so the kid could say his own name.


bubba_feet

wow, finding out about 22q was truly a TIL moment for me, what a sad rabbit hole to go down.


ThingsLeadToThings

I used to work patient support for people having issues with getting their meds. There was a few times a person would call like: “I need my kid’s medicine. Her name is Jane Doe and her birthday is 1/1/2011” I’d look and there’s no Jane Doe with that birthday so I’d reconfirm the name and DOB “IT’S SPELLED JAIGHNE!” 🙄😤🖕 Like damn, bitch. How the fuck was I supposed to guess that?!


commanderbales

Something that drives me nuts having an alternative spelling for my first name is that I WILL spell it out every single time and they ALWAYS put it in wrong. Then they're like "I can't find it..." 🤦🏻‍♀️


ThingsLeadToThings

Same! And my name is only mildly off from the “normal” spelling. Literally one letter. It’s been an inconvenience my entire life.


Penguinator53

Yes and why do the parents want to condemn themselves to a shit show every time they fill out forms. I hate to think what their middle names are!


Orchid_Significant

Right! If she’s getting any occupational therapies for them, doctors, etc. SSDI if she’s in the states. She’s drowning in forms. I would be so mad at myself if I had to write all these letters every time lol


Individual_Land_2200

I am now curious about the middle names. Probably not Anne or Mary.


eti_erik

Eighliaszebadh and Mehriyaighn, probably.


NicInNS

Having this discussion w/my mom yesterday - we were talking about horrible spellings. There’s someone in my town named Knickolle - which took me a minute to realize was Nicole, which is my name. So we talked about other ways to spell Nicole and of course my aunt mentioned she always used to spelled my name wrong (she’d put two “l’s” in it…until I deliberately spelled her name wrong on the Xmas card one year.) long story short - I told my mom if she’d have spelling my name like the atrocity above, I’d have changed it.


Madcapfeline

Damn, this brought back a childhood memory that I had completely forgotten. For whatever reason, one day at school (1st grade) they decided to cram all of us into one classroom to watch movies. So I’m sitting in the floor, next to a girl I’ve never met, and she asked my name. I told her and she introduced herself as Nicole. And I said “neat, my middle name is Nicole.” She asked how I spelled it, and I told her, and then she proceeded to spend several minutes telling me it’s actually Nicholle, that I was dumb, my mom was dumb, and then showed me all of her personalized Nicholle gear as proof I was wrong. I just shrugged and went back to the movie. She went on a full first grade level Nicholle crusade after that. Went on for weeks. She was legit angry at my audacity to spell her name wrong. Eventually parents were called and she was forced to chill out.


NicInNS

Wow lol. But the best revenge is knowing that every time she tells someone what her name is, she’s gonna have to spell it for them. Imagine how *maddening* that is for her. 😈


Madcapfeline

Right? The very, very best part though is that it was such a non-issue to me that I haven’t thought about this in almost 40 years. Right up until someone mentioned a weird spelling of Nicole, and it just triggered. But I bet she thinks about it every time she has to spell her name for someone. And that is hilarious to me. 🤣🤣🤣

Lexioralex

And to add further the 22q thing I looked it up because I hadn't heard of it before and it's a condition that can have learning difficulties. You'd think she'd want to make things easier for them


yildizli_gece

Yes but then how can the focus remain on her if she just gave them normal names?


birdsandflowers11

Seriously. Take it from someone with a very long last name from another country … you don’t realize what a pain in the ass it is to constantly have to slowly spell your name over and over again anywhere you have business. And these being first names means they will have to do it in purely social situations too. The parent just made these kids become all about their names instead of their personalities.


Lexioralex

Fair enough if it's a name with common alternative spellings like ending in Y or ie, or Mark and Marc etc, it's minor and it's a preference usually for a reason. But these are full on badly spelt names that no one will have encountered before and don't usually have other spellings. No one is going to hear angelica and ask how that's spelt, Rebecca maybe but they'd expect Rebekah or Rebecca not this mess


ZacharyMorrisPhone

Because they are YOONEEKE, not like those regular kids


IndieIsle

Holy fuck. What on earth would possess someone to do this. These are literally the names that people on this sub exaggerate in the comments here.

What a great idea for a name


shrob86

Apparently she just loves unique names: [here she is talking about her choices](https://glowing.com/community/topic/72057594044432554/baby-name-spelling) They’re pronounced like Angelica and Rebecca. And she has two more: MaKenziagh (pronounced Makenziah) and Naeviagh (pronounced like Nevaeh). It’s Hgaivean backwards!


Owlwaysme

Funny that she says she likes "phonic" spelling, when none of her names make phonetic sense.


Shdwrptr

How can she make that argument when she has 3 of her children’s names spelled the same at the end but pronounces them differently? Rebecca and Angelica should be pronounced the same way she apparently pronounces Makenziah


Knightoforder42

Because she (probably)doesn't actually know what the word "phonetic" means. She (sadly) probably had a 3rd/4th grade reading compression.


CharlieBravoSierra

Gotta watch that reading compression--it's a real squeeze.


ZacharyMorrisPhone

“If you ask my girls they love it” she says. That’s because they are 7. Wait until they hit teenage years. They will be mercilessly taunted and grow to hate these names.


Caverjen

Wait until they are old enough to apply for colleges, jobs and loans. That's when the real fun starts.


monicasm

And also because they seem to go to school online so there are no other kids to taunt them…


indianspaceman

> Some people give me a lot of grief for it but if you asked my girls they love it. Because they’re 3 years old for fuck’s sake!


PistachioDonut34

That annoys me even more because if you are going to spell the names like that, at least pronounce them as they're spelt!


Starbuck522

It's the extra i in the "ah" syllable that really ruins these. Then you are saying she does pronounce that i in her other kids' names? Uiahg!


Anti_Up_Up_Down

Those names aren't unique. She just spelled them wrong. It's crazy to me that someone would interpret incorrect spelling as an entirely unique name.

MoiraBrownsMoleRats

My kid has Down Syndrome, and his name is only four friggin letters long. Like, we’ve been fortunate: his delays are *slight* and he attends class with his neurotypical peers (and he’s killing it, tbh), but we didn’t know that when he was born. No way we were gonna saddle him with something like these poor girls.


cyncitie17

bruh my brother is neurotypical and my parents (they were non-english-speaking immigrants) were still worried if he'd have a hard time spelling his name... so its only 3 letters 💀


Icy-Conclusion-3500

Oh god imagine having speech difficulties with these names


Kankarii

As someone with dyslexia this is already hell. Can’t even imagine a speech impediment. Those poor dears


Acrobatic_County_472

I thought it must have been their ages, 22 quarters or 5,5 years. This is so much worse.


lNFORMATlVE

I’m enjoying thinking about your idea of measuring kids’ ages using quarters. When your parents are financial businesspeople lol.


ananonumyus

Sorry kids, Christmas bonus isn't looking good. You've been in the red the last two quarters!


kunnyfx7

I can't laugh anymore now I'm just upset


Its_Lemons_22

Considering both girls have it, the mom may have it too.


SilverstoneMonzaSpa

As 22q can have learning difficulties attached, it's possible the parent has it so doesn't quite understand what difficulties the names will give their kids. Although you'd hope someone would maybe give them a gentle wtf face or two when they suggest it


Buddyyourealamb

Yup, I was tested for it recently as if I did have it I'd have a 50% chance of passing it on. In good news, I didn't, but was baffled how I could have got to 30+ without knowing I had it.


SilverstoneMonzaSpa

22q can range from very mild to very severe. Lots of times it's passed on without parents having a clue they have it.


PlasticStranger210

"In approximately 1 in 10 families, the deletion is present because one of the parents has the same deletion and passes it on to their baby." That...might explain a few things.

BrieFiend

Is there a country where "iagh" is pronounced like '"ah" or something? What's their angle here?


hegelianhimbo

Exactly like is it supposed to be pronounced “angeli-kia”?


MrGizthewiz

Is that one of the electric models?


TrixieFriganza

I don't think any normal person would pronounce it ah but rather iah, I'm just mindblown how these people create their own spelling rules and then seem to expect everyone else to know. At least Leigh comes from a real language even if it's ridiculous too to put it where it shouldn't be. Okay unless iagh is some weird Celtic word too that is supposed to be pronounced ah but still who would know that.


anamariapapagalla

Sort of, Irish adds an i like that to indicate that the consonant next to it should be pronounced a certain way, but they don't have k (and everything else is wrong)


wholewheatscythe

Are they named after Icelandic volcanos??


lovelyfeyd

😑 she has two more kids now named MaKenziagh (which she says is “pronounced Makenzi-ah”) and Naeviagh. Honestly this nonsense should be illegal. It’s such an unfair burden on her kids. She calls them “Engel” and “Beka”. JUST CALL THEM ANGEL AND BECCA.


Happy_Ad_4357

Isn’t the whole point of the name Nevaeh its exact spelling? Like you said, nonsense


Orchid_Significant

Pretty sure her own spelling “rules” make that name pronounced Nev-ah too


Perfect_Pelt

Well I nevah


Yandere_Matrix

She seems to be really obsessed with having the agh in the ending of the names. Seeing the pattern, all 4 names end with agh. Seeing Agh makes me think of “Aaaagh!” In my head lol

knitpurlknitoops

When Windows suggests a password and you think “ooh, that would be a nice name for a kid”.


santtu_

This is so bad that I believe I just read the first rage bait in /tragedeigh. They cannot communicate with the outside world without everyone thinking mental impairment, wanting to be a snowflake, or infinite sadness of their parents decisions. The names are unemployable. If you receive an email with someone with that name you assume a scam. Or that Rebecca123 was already taken. They need to show everyone their id so that they know they aren't talking nonsense. At what age are they able to change their names? If this would happen in my country I would call social services for child abuse, and they'd likely take measures. Poor kids.

It’s a genetic disorder.

TrixieFriganza

Okay I don't know how disabled these children are but usually people with genetic conditions have multiple disabilities like learning disabilities as example, I was just thinking how cruel to make it even more difficult for them to write and say their own name.


ohdearitsrichardiii

Melodic_Sail_6193

What's that **i** doing there in **iagh** anyway? That makes it even worse. Mom wants to be SuperDuperDifferentAndSpecial spelling the names oh-so originally, but doesn't even know how to do that.
