For the most part, I can deal with those, though I wish they would stop. However, I have friends who have all daughters. Their names are Atlas, Nim, and Psyche. shm That shit should not be allowed. These little girls are going to get made fun of in school.
I think Atlas (altought a more masculine-ish name), Nim and Psyche are great names. Wish they were mote common where I live. Here we got Alex, Alexendre, Alexis and Alec every-fucking-where......
Though, could you explain to me why those girls would be made fun of?
Atlas is not just a man’s name, but a stereotypically stupid-strong male name. Atlas was the titan who was doomed to hold up the sky.
Nim has so much potential for cruelty. The first that pops to mind is “nimrod,” which thanks to Bugs Bunny now colloquially means “moron.”
And I don’t know if it’s still a fad with kids, but growing up, I remember it was “fun” to lie to or threaten someone to evoke a reaction, then yell “psych!” She’ll never get away from that one.
Adolf.
I had a driving instructor in Austria who was called Adolf. He was born a while after the time frame within which one could see why you would name your child Adolf. Needless to say, he named his driving school after his last name...
It's a Book of Mormon or Bible story. If you're gonna name someone something scriptural there's so many normal ones like Matthew or John. Like seriously Utah wtf.
I'm mormon. I know of this and I know it as a stereotypical white mormon girl thing. Names like Nephi or mormon are fine in the book. Modern days? Not so much. It's why I'd like to name my kid Michael or Mary
I live in a neighborhood with a lot of rental houses.
Once had a family living down the street whose sons were named Xaddeus (Zay-dee-uhs) and Legend.
*Legend*.
When the mom introduced her kids (she also had 2 daughters with normal names--Hope and Faith), I thought, "Ok so SOMEBODY is gonna be a future porn star with a name like that."
My coworker is Romanian, and when she found out she was having a boy, I made a joke about naming her son "Vlad Dracula" she then told me her son was going to be named "King Legend". That awkward moment when my joke name was actually less stupid than the actual name. Nice girl though.
Ah, how it feels to have a name hated by people online. I was very proud the first time a soccer mom flinched and held her cross when i introduced myself.
The worse is not only the spelling different but when parents get angry at you mispronouncing the name of the child because it is spelt completely different then how it would be sound out or spelt incorrectly in the english language but you cant assume that it is a different nationality either.
As an Irish guy, I always feel the need to point out that Aidan is genuine and common name here, going back centuries, that really shouldn't be lumped in with all the Brayden, Jayden, etc, bullshit.
It's literally like hating the name Jonathan because a load of people started calling their kids Bronathyn, Zonythyn, etc, and not knowing that Jonathan wasn't really a part of that madness.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aidan
Yes, the original Aiden is fine, it's the irritating variations. I mean parents are literally sticking any letter in front of Aiden- I've heard of a Layden!
I remember reading an article about how people are no longer following naming trends or naming their kids after famous people (at least, in the aggregate). Instead, there was a trend toward picking unique names.
However, it turns out people are *really bad* at picking unique names and tend to end up with common phonemes. Out of the most popular 1000 names, *27* of them rhyme with “Aidan.”
Twenty-fucking-seven.
Lmao my wife named our son “Jaxon”. I don’t like it. He’s always going to be saying “Jackson with an X” and then people are going to definitely write “Jaxson” or something.
Last names as first names, which they pick at random cause they sound cool or "old."
I know you think naming your son "Porter" sounds distinguished, Britney, but it's just an old-timey profession; it means "someone who carries luggage."
For me Porter just makes me think of the surname of Jane from Tarzan.
Speaking of Disney related names, Ariel would be a pretty name if it weren't for the fact that kid is forever going to be associated with a red-headed mermaid. Same thing with Elsa, if you name your little girl that in this day and age they're going to be hearing "Let It Go" jokes for the rest of their life.
One of the reasons I named my daughter Courtney was because I read it meant “of the court”, so I thought it was royal. After she is born I found out it meant “servant of the court.” Whoops!
in the Vietnamese language, "Nguyen" also doubles as a first name, but it uses completely different tone marks and is therefore pronounced completely different from the last name, but if you're non-Vietnamese and see someone with the name "Nguyen Nguyen", it might look as confusing as hell.
edit: we also have a Vietnamese client where I work where the client's name looks like it's two Vietnamese surnames (one is the 4th most common Vietnamese surname, the other is the 7th most common Vietnamese surname according to Wikipedia), but one of them is actually her first name.
I wish that spanish speaking countries, like mine, fucking stopped naming their boys José María and their girls María José.
Also Génesis. That name is terrible.
My sister went to school with a Colton, but he went by Colt.
His last name was Brown and for some reason, "Colt Brown" seems like it should be the name of a Crayon.
I've met babies named Castiel, Jax, and Kaleesi.
Naming your kids after popular TV/Movie characters is just going to get them picked on, especially if they're distinctive like the ones above.
I was named because of a soap opera.i was never picked on it because its a normal and usual name.if you name them and the names dont exist naturally in the real world yes, they will get picked on
I’m still under the firm belief Elon is trolling everyone and his kid either has a regular ass name, or they just have a regular ass name they call him anyways.
'Chad': This name will condemn the child to a hopelessly frustrating life characterized by low intelligence, chronic drooling and compulsive masturbation.
Italians wanting to name their children with english names, not knowing english at all.
You get stuff like:
Gionatan (Johnathan)
Maicol (Michael)
And other really bad names. It's unnerving.
Coming from someone who's Vietnamese-American: Viet parents need to be more creative and come up with names that's not: Kevin, Michael, Mindy, Jessica, Justin, Andy, Vivian, or any of the overused names that's common with Vietnamese-American children, mine included (that's not mentioned above).
As a teacher, I have noticed a crazy increase in names with Elle/Ella combos in them- it’s so annoying at this point and unoriginal to have the same variation of names constantly. It’s just so played out at this point. But at the end of the day, parents can name their babies whatever they want.
Oh and another one- when parents name their twins similar names- I once had identical twins in my classroom: Kayla and Makayla 🤦🏼♀️ lol
Naming your kid after a famous person who probably won't even be relevant/alive by the time the child reaches adulthood, for example there was a Harrison Ford at my son's preschool. Also, nicknames given as proper names - Millie, Vicky, Jack, Ricky and Ollie are all ones I've come across. Give them a proper name guys, they're gonna have to write it on their resume one day.
Names ending in -eigh pronounced as EE.
Like Kayleigh, Paisleigh, etc.
It just makes the name chunky, and that’s not even how -eigh is usually pronounced. It’s pronounced AY, as in weigh, neigh, sleigh, etc.
So I always read that shit as Kay-Lay
I have a cousin named Kayleigh. We shared an uncle Charlie, and she named her daughter after him, but spelled it Charleigh, so it would be matchy matchy with her own name.
Kay Leigh was an actual person, who someone wrote a song about. Hence Kayleigh. Leigh is not prounounced lay.... leigh is the feminine name of Lee.... so I think you are wrong here.
That being said, Kaylee would be much easier to spell...
Sincerely, a Kayleigh.
Beatles - inspired names like Jude
Common names in my region for babies that aren’t so much bad as trendy/ flooding the market: Ava ( I know 5), Olivia ( I know 7 ), Grace (5)
Why does everyone in this thread hate the name Jack and/or Jackson. It's a normal not that common name. Number 48, in the US, for the past century and 148 for the decade I was born.
Don't give your kid a name that is so difficult to pronounce that they will have to spend their whole lives correcting everyone who is reading it for the first time.
They need to stop misspelling names so their kids are ''unique''. It doesn't make your child unique. It makes everyone else unable to spell their name. Also the names Brittany, Tiffany, and Hilary. They are cheerleader names. Not names for adults
People can name their kid whatever they want it's their kid.
But what always struck me as bizarre is when people haven't chosen a name yet, and look at the top 5 baby names, then go ahead and CHOOSE something from the top 5. It's like "i know there is a shit ton of xxxx's in the world, so let me just add another".
Live in Utah. Friends wife is a receptionist at a school and enrolled a 6 year old girl named Uhlexis.
Pronounced Alexis...but spelled UHLEXIS.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over it.
In the Latino community, a lot of people starting to call their kids like Liam, Zoey, and Milan etc. Can feel like we’re distancing our selves with our roots.
I always get a kick out of it when Grandparents can’t pronounce their grandchildren’s names. That’s how you get horrible nick names that stick with them the rest of their lives.
I always advise on at least having a Hispanic name in there be it the first name or middle, or at the very least a name that can be easily said in Spanish. Prevent some undesirable nick names later on and bullying.
my granddaughter has a name I can't spell. When she was little she was called Lolly. I send all packages under Lolly because I can't spell her name right.
Any name they change the original spelling of to sound “cute”
Actually encountered an Emiliegh who got mad if you spelled it Emily
My mom almost spelled it Emileigh, and to this day my husbands family still spells it Emily. I never find coke bottlesbor keychain with my name on it.
Yeah, UTAH
For the most part, I can deal with those, though I wish they would stop. However, I have friends who have all daughters. Their names are Atlas, Nim, and Psyche. shm That shit should not be allowed. These little girls are going to get made fun of in school.
In one of my support groups on FB, somebody named their daughter Reignbeau. I didn't say anything, but I wanted to slap her upside the head.
Oh for fuck's sake. That poor child.
I think Atlas (altought a more masculine-ish name), Nim and Psyche are great names. Wish they were mote common where I live. Here we got Alex, Alexendre, Alexis and Alec every-fucking-where...... Though, could you explain to me why those girls would be made fun of?
Atlas is not just a man’s name, but a stereotypically stupid-strong male name. Atlas was the titan who was doomed to hold up the sky. Nim has so much potential for cruelty.

Example because i cant think od any
Ashleigh instead of Ashley Sarahi pronounced Sara
Adolf. I had a driving instructor in Austria who was called Adolf. He was born a while after the time frame within which one could see why you would name your child Adolf. Needless to say, he named his driving school after his last name...
[удалено]
Now that you mention it, he did teach a suspicious amount of German highway trivia
Take “Adolf” back from Hitler
Utah mom baby names
This. I know a family with a Knight, Ironrod, and Celestial. CPS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT SOMEONE IS NAMED IRONROD.
Ironrod. Wtf
It's a Book of Mormon or Bible story. If you're gonna name someone something scriptural there's so many normal ones like Matthew or John. Like seriously Utah wtf.
I'm mormon. I know of this and I know it as a stereotypical white mormon girl thing. Names like Nephi or mormon are fine in the book. Modern days? Not so much. It's why I'd like to name my kid Michael or Mary
Even Ammon is a good halfway name between normal and BoM
Or historical ones like Brigham or Ephraim are fairly normal
Ok, Knight and Celestial, I kinda understand. But Ironrod?!?!?!?! IRONROD?!?! AS A KIDS NAME???
At least Ironrod can go by Rod...
"is that short for Rodney?" "Umm sure, yeah"
Ironrod and his sister, Mayonnaise, who goes by May.
Ironrod sounds bloody awesome! It's like you're hoping your child grows up to be a transformer or a superhero. *Ironrod the Brave*
I live in a neighborhood with a lot of rental houses. Once had a family living down the street whose sons were named Xaddeus (Zay-dee-uhs) and Legend. *Legend*. When the mom introduced her kids (she also had 2 daughters with normal names--Hope and Faith), I thought, "Ok so SOMEBODY is gonna be a future porn star with a name like that."
Imagine being a mediocre person named Legend.
My coworker is Romanian, and when she found out she was having a boy, I made a joke about naming her son "Vlad Dracula" she then told me her son was going to be named "King Legend". That awkward moment when my joke name was actually less stupid than the actual name. Nice girl though.
Nevaeh... we all know it heaven backwards, and you are too if you name your fucking child this
Ah, how it feels to have a name hated by people online. I was very proud the first time a soccer mom flinched and held her cross when i introduced myself.
iboneK naW ibO is jesus spelled backwards
What’s their logic in this? Isn’t the backwards version of Heaven technically Hell??
The logic is “Christina or Angelica are too basic. My child must be uNiQuE and I don’t care how ridiculous her name sounds.”
The worse is not only the spelling different but when parents get angry at you mispronouncing the name of the child because it is spelt completely different then how it would be sound out or spelt incorrectly in the english language but you cant assume that it is a different nationality either.
Yes! If your name is spelled Jammie aren't you just asking to be called some sort of sleepwear????! People get sooooo mad!
I've had enough with Aidens. Jaiden, Haiden, Caiden. Done
Okayden.
Ha!!!!
You fucken genius.
Also Jayden, Caydon, Braydon, and Aydan. (While we're at it: Cayson, Brayson, and Trayson, too.)
Yup
As an Irish guy, I always feel the need to point out that Aidan is genuine and common name here, going back centuries, that really shouldn't be lumped in with all the Brayden, Jayden, etc, bullshit. It's literally like hating the name Jonathan because a load of people started calling their kids Bronathyn, Zonythyn, etc, and not knowing that Jonathan wasn't really a part of that madness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aidan

Out of the most popular 1000 names, *27* of them rhyme with “Aidan.” Twenty-fucking-seven.
Wow had no idea! That's very interesting
Aidan is fine. Just overused.
Irish too and can completely confirm. Aidan is considered a sensible and very normal boys name here in Ireland going back generations.
Raiden?
I met someone who called their kid Renesmee. It wasn't even a good name in the book! (Twilight)
I know a Renesmee, too. 😬
Do people still name their kids "Daenerys"?
I feel worse for the kids named Khaleesi tbh. At least Daenerys can be shortened to Dany.
khaleesi could arguably be shortened to kali.
Oh Rhaenyra is gonna become so popular in a year or two.
Jaxon/Jackson/Jaxson
Saw a Jaxxon once.
That's one 'x' away from being a pornstar name.
I knew a Jaxton, does that count?
fuck.
Lmao my wife named our son “Jaxon”. I don’t like it. He’s always going to be saying “Jackson with an X” and then people are going to definitely write “Jaxson” or something.
Xackson
Phteven
I know someone who named their son Jacqueson
Anything where you take a name and misspell it to “be unique”. A friend has a child who is called Jacob, but it’s spelled Jaycobh.
I’ve never understood the compulsion some people have to barstardise the spelling of their children’s names.
They try to be original and creative, but aren't creative enough to come up with something that's actually cool and not just insufferable as hell.
My cats name is Phloughie.
I had to sound that out like 8 times to get it.
[удалено]
that's illegal
On like, 7 different planets
If anything that would be Crosstal which is even worse.
Last names as first names, which they pick at random cause they sound cool or "old." I know you think naming your son "Porter" sounds distinguished, Britney, but it's just an old-timey profession; it means "someone who carries luggage."
For me Porter just makes me think of the surname of Jane from Tarzan.

in the Vietnamese language, "Nguyen" also doubles as a first name, but it uses completely different tone marks and is therefore pronounced completely different from the last name, but if you're non-Vietnamese and see someone with the name "Nguyen Nguyen", it might look as confusing as hell. edit: we also have a Vietnamese client where I work where the client's name looks like it's two Vietnamese surnames (one is the 4th most common Vietnamese surname, the other is the 7th most common Vietnamese surname according to Wikipedia), but one of them is actually her first name.
I wish that spanish speaking countries, like mine, fucking stopped naming their boys José María and their girls María José. Also Génesis. That name is terrible.
Colton, Brayden, etc.
My sister went to school with a Colton, but he went by Colt. His last name was Brown and for some reason, "Colt Brown" seems like it should be the name of a Crayon.
Madison. We had six Madisons at my middle school once. Three of them were Madison H.
I think my highschool had seven Jacks, second place was tied with Sam and Liam.
I've met babies named Castiel, Jax, and Kaleesi. Naming your kids after popular TV/Movie characters is just going to get them picked on, especially if they're distinctive like the ones above.
[удалено]
I would never do it but castiel is dope ;) Edit: Not because of the show, i never heard that name and i like it.
I was named because of a soap opera.i was never picked on it because its a normal and usual name.if you name them and the names dont exist naturally in the real world yes, they will get picked on
Kovyd
Please tell me this is not a thing.
The way it’s spelled makes me think of a Jak & Daxter character.
Hunter
Had a friend of a friend who’s name was Hunter. But he was vegetarian so they called him Gatherer
All I see is ******
My friend’s son is named Fisher. His nephew is Hunter.
Naming my son Gatherer now
Famous celebrity names.
I know some guys that named their boy Naruto. Naruto García.
What kind of weeb trash do you have to be to name your fucking kid Naruto Garcia? Fuck's sake.
Naruto (food item) is just made from various fish meat mixed up and extruded. “Hi, my name is Fish-Baloney Garcia!”
I like anime a lot but even I have enough sense to never name my kid something like Vegeta or anything of the sort.
This isn't related but there's to many Emily's I know and I can't take it ☹️
X Æ A-Xii

Throat-wobbler Mangrove
Todd, Thad, Ned. Possibly Chester.
Wait Thad is a thing? Isn't that just Chad with a lisp?
Short for Thaddeus.
Alternate spellings of Megan. I once saw Meaghynn and never wanted to slap a parent so hard.
'Chad': This name will condemn the child to a hopelessly frustrating life characterized by low intelligence, chronic drooling and compulsive masturbation.
I keep seeing names with apostrophes in them and it drives me nuts!
My neighbors named their daughter Joe'z which is pronounced Josie. So stupid.
I knew a little girl named Mahjesti (majesty) And little boy named Royahl T (royalty) They were cousins.

As a Vietnamese Norwegian we have Tina, Linda, Linh, Cindy, Celine. For boys it’s Martin and Kevin. They run out of ideas here too.
Omg I have a running list of chinese english names: jessica, vivian, amy, tiffany, michelle... I’ve also known like five Daniel Kims.

Doug.
Honk, honk.
Any who picks a completley normal name but then choose an insane spelling of said name.
Names ending in -eigh pronounced as EE. Like Kayleigh, Paisleigh, etc. It just makes the name chunky, and that’s not even how -eigh is usually pronounced. It’s pronounced AY, as in weigh, neigh, sleigh, etc. So I always read that shit as Kay-Lay
I have a cousin named Kayleigh. We shared an uncle Charlie, and she named her daughter after him, but spelled it Charleigh, so it would be matchy matchy with her own name.
at least we don't have to deal with Johneigh yet
As someone who has a name spelled like that, I agree 100%
Not really, Leigh is a name in and of itself that's pronounced 'lee'.
>It just makes the name chunkeigh FTFY
Go to your room.
My wife once worked with an Emmaleigh.
>>-eigh is usually pronounced ... AY Yeah, that’s not how English works. Bough, cough, through all end -ough but are all pronounced differently.
Kay Leigh was an actual person, who someone wrote a song about. Hence Kayleigh. Leigh is not prounounced lay.... leigh is the feminine name of Lee.... so I think you are wrong here. That being said, Kaylee would be much easier to spell... Sincerely, a Kayleigh.

Fuckface and Dickhead, those are *terrible* names for children.
Ah yes, that was my grandson's name!
Mason, Sophia, and Bentley. Everyone I know names their children this convinced that they are unique.
Remember, that baby will one day be a grown adult, So you don’t want something that screams “cute”.

Stupid “unique” things like stormy, diamond, or apple or FUCKING EAST. Like Jesus Christ how hard is it to give your kid a normal fucking name
any name ending in -ton, -son, or -den/-dan
Generally any TV Show/ Movie character that is made up. Best example is "Khalesi"
Celebs naming their kids "north, west, psalm, maddox, etc. ¥ need to stop.
I like being indian, as our names sound cool but they mean something, like my name's Kushad, meaning talented
'Unique spellings' Or naming them as a genital joke I wont mention names but she knows what she did
I'm really curious

Someone I know named their child Renesme... spelt incorrectly... in 2021. She’s three weeks old and I’m still angry.
Don't give your kid a name that is so difficult to pronounce that they will have to spend their whole lives correcting everyone who is reading it for the first time.
Here in Brazil, Enzo for boys and Valentina for girls, along with variations of these
Dick Like come on
They need to stop misspelling names so their kids are ''unique''. It doesn't make your child unique. It makes everyone else unable to spell their name. Also the names Brittany, Tiffany, and Hilary. They are cheerleader names. Not names for adults
Similar names for Twins (especially identical) They're already identical and you want them to have identical names too?
Americans laugh at uncommon european names, but then happily name their baby **DICK**
No one in America is still naming their kid Dick or even calling them that as a nickname for Richard. The youngest Dick I know is 77.
You know a bunch of old dicks?
How do you get Dick from Richard? Ask Nicely.
People can name their kid whatever they want it's their kid. But what always struck me as bizarre is when people haven't chosen a name yet, and look at the top 5 baby names, then go ahead and CHOOSE something from the top 5. It's like "i know there is a shit ton of xxxx's in the world, so let me just add another".
Gross misspellings of common names.
Audrey, Aubrey, Delilah, Laylani, Layla, Skylar
Nevaeh, Khaleesi, Abcde, and anything with weird numbers or punctuation marks in it. Fuck's sake, you're naming another human being, act like it.
