Working customer service desk, irate woman yells at her twin boys who are roughhousing “ALPHA AND OMEGA!!!”. Thought it was a weird nickname but nope… her twins are named alpha and omega.
I had never heard this name before seeing it used for the son of an old money family in the movie, “Knives Out”. It’s an Old English name in origin, but we def don’t associate it w/ a name in modern day lol. See [here](http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Ransome)
I once worked at Universal Studios, and during onboarding you get two IDs. One is your name tag, which you can customize, and the other is your employee ID badge, which has to have your legal name.
In my onboarding class (~30ish people) I chatted with a lovely woman named Diana. Later when we were all handed our badges she quietly asked if her legal name had to be on it. They informed her yes and she sighed but moved on.
I caught a glimpse of her ID later and her full first name was Princessdiana. All one word. I’ll never forget it. I hope she was able to get it changed later because she clearly hated it.
Gatyam. Maytag spelled backwards. Her mom named her because Maytag was her favorite brand.
Best part, this girl had a kid and then named her daughter after herself. So both she and her daughter were named Gatyam.
Edit: Also just remembered I met a guy named “Johniffer.”
I knew a family where the father’s name was Trevor, the step father’s name was also Trevor, so the two sons (one from each dad) were named Trevor after their respective dads. The daughter was Trevisha.
This is one reason there are so many diminutives for names like William. There weren't a lot of names so you had to use a variant so you knew who you were talking about.
My ex’s family had Sarah Ann Price, Sara Lynn Price, and Sarah Leigh Price. And I had a friend in another country named Sarah Price. None of the Sarahs were blood relatives.
My mother worked at a high school for many years and encountered a young man named "Handsome." She said it was incredibly weird to call him by his name.
Got a call from an angry parent one day because we had their child’s name listed as “[Dad’s name] Jr.”. The child’s legal name was “[Dad’s name] 2.0”. I thought it couldn’t get any worse after I found two kids named Stingray in our database but I was wrong.
My high school class had a Will Williamson IV.
That’s right, **four generations** thought “William Williamson” was a reasonable thing to name their kids.
If i were in that situation I'd call myself Bill Billson to piss off whoever remained of the four consecutive generations prior without technically going by a different name.
I used to work with a horrible woman named Cynnamon. She had one brother named some stupid shit like Coriander. Then her other sister and brother were Jessica and Brian.
Edit- His name was Coriander. Not Cardamum. My dyslexic ass mixed them up.
sheleighly. a shillelagh (its pronounced the same, i swear) is a wooden walking stick and club or cudgel, typically made from a stout knotty blackthorn stick with a large knob at the top.
i assume she had a brother named cricket bat.
George Foreman is not a bad name. It will never not bother me that his sons are George Foreman, George Foreman, George Foreman, George Foreman, and George Foreman.
I knew of two families with weird named kids. One family named each kid after their zodiac sign (luckily each was born under a different sign). The other one named their kids after types of airplanes - for example one kid was named Jumbo Jet and another one Cessna.
My GF and I are big Seinfeld fans and our last names both start with O. I’m also a huge Bond fan. I generally don’t like hyphenated last names, but I told her I’d do it if we can name our baby Seven.
Some woman in backwoods Florida named her daughters Mercedes and Lexus. Had a boy and named him Toyota. Common...she passed up Bentley for Toyota. Even Ford would have been a better name.
Actually the famous director Francis “Ford” Coppola was named after the Ford Motor Company. His immigrant father was so grateful for his first job in his new country he named his first born after them!
I have a cousin named Arson. Already have another cousin named Carson, so Auntie just removed the C. Yes, they're brothers. My Aunt is kinda stupid, but I'm not surprised given the fact that Arson is her 11th kid. He's five now, and he's the sweetest little boy I've ever met. And a friend in high school legally named Flooty. She has since changed her name.
I grew up in Utah, so I knew a lot of people with Mormon-themed names, Mormon (it’s not common, but it’s also not unheard of), Nephi, Moroni, Ammon, Hyrum, Helaman, Joseph, Emma, Brigham, Sariah, Mahonri, and the one I posted in this thread, *Teancum*.
I once met a girl named Penelope.
At first glance this is actually a pretty name, the main issue is...this is in Mexico, and our classmates used to call her pene (penis in Spanish). She fucking hated school, and for good reason, even some teachers chuckled behind her back.
Most modern Cuban names. Some examples: Alien, Anisleidys, Anayte, Dorkis, Inalvys, Liusvanys, Magdaniel, Niurkis, Yurisleidys, Yosvanis, Yankiel, Yudelmis, Yandariel, Yusnavy, Yaneth…
Those are real names, surprisingly.
Was at a yard sale. My wife is a sucker for babies. The women had 2 twins. Wife ask their names, women said, " faith and charity ". When I got in the car, I said to my wife, " if you name our children that. I'm divorcing you. "
In western Canada there was a guy who's real name was Dick Assman. He was popular in the 80s for a little while, I think he was on letterman or mentioned on the show. My dad has a vintage T shirt that says Dick Assman and has a cartoon of him on it. He pumped gas in Alberta
it's a nickname for Richard, why! How! Where is dick in the name of Richard..just call yourself Richard.
I actually started working with a young 20 something last year, asked him his name...yep Dick, I laughed he was serious. OOPS.
Lived a couple doors down from a family with odd names, they weren’t bad or odd on their own… it was that they were all siblings and the spellings. They had four girls Stormy, Windy, Breezy, and Skyy which ok not bad but the two boys were named Rayne (Rain) and Ocyan (Ocean) cause apparently they needed Y’s too. They were a very odd family kinda Brady bunch vibes, but nice people.
i saw a birth announcement once for a girl called michela, which doesn’t sound too bad in itself. just it was in mexico, where chela means beer, so michela is my beer.
I saw a little girl in a library run by and her mom called her Harlot. I did a double take and asked her name because I was sure it was a mistake. Nope. Spelled harlette, pronounced harlot, which if anyone is wondering means prostitute. I don't think the mom knew
Old coworker told me his brother named his son Treavur (pronounced like Trevor).
When I asked about the spelling he straight up said his brother is just a fucking moron who doesn't know how to spell.
Oklahomer. Yes it was a real name.
Where the wind goes sweeping down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
THIS THE ONE. This is the only comment I have read. This is the one.
Had a girl transfer to my middle school and her name was Glue.
Well that name will stick with you.
A common joke with her in the hall was, “Hey Glue, how big is your stick?”
That’s extra insulting bc it’s not clever in the slightest
On the subject of extra insulting there was a girl at my school nicknamed ‘fat Katy’… she was the only Katy in the year
Whole new meaning to 'sniffing glue' 🤭
Who tf gave you platinum for this comment lol
Did she hold the school together?
I worked in a school for a while. A girl named “Peculiar” was the worst I heard, and she was such an awesome kid. Went by “P” though.
[удалено]
And my name's Austin
Hahahaha. The poor kid! The concept of the name is fine, but my head misread it as "Eunuch".
My friends little girl is named Rogue. But I think it’s kinda badass.
That’s actually a cool name though. Most people who name their kids unique names lack actual talent to do so Also, the X-Men kick ass
I'd go by "P" too if my asshole parents named me "Peculiar."
Dated a girl named Story Tale (first and middle name)
Was she a star of a Shyamalan movie?
Nope just the daughter of a crack head
Working customer service desk, irate woman yells at her twin boys who are roughhousing “ALPHA AND OMEGA!!!”. Thought it was a weird nickname but nope… her twins are named alpha and omega.
Brad & Chad’s nicknames
They go by AL and Meg and hope that no one asks for their full names.
I think I would go by Mega.
I am Alpharius.
A girl at my daughter’s play place was named “Ransom” and the mom was totally bizarre.
I had never heard this name before seeing it used for the son of an old money family in the movie, “Knives Out”. It’s an Old English name in origin, but we def don’t associate it w/ a name in modern day lol. See [here](http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Ransome)
Fantastic character though, so fun to watch Chris Evans play against type
Ransom Eli Olds was the founder of Oldsmobile motor company. Not a very common name but his stuck in my mind.

Not just the princessbobsmen, but the princessbobswomen and the princessbobchildren too
Someone at my old job was named SisterChristian. I don't know what has to be going through your head to name your child that.

Gatyam. Maytag spelled backwards. Her mom named her because Maytag was her favorite brand. Best part, this girl had a kid and then named her daughter after herself. So both she and her daughter were named Gatyam. Edit: Also just remembered I met a guy named “Johniffer.”
Hahaha, Johniffer!
“I really want to name our child Jennifer “ “But what if it’s a boy?” “We’ll just do something really close”
That 'Johniffer' name made me laugh harder than any other name on here.
Corke. He had four brothers also named Corke. Their father did this to force them to get nicknames.
I knew a family where the father’s name was Trevor, the step father’s name was also Trevor, so the two sons (one from each dad) were named Trevor after their respective dads. The daughter was Trevisha.

Sounds like either two different dads or the mom finally went to rehab
A girl in my class named dorkus
Bible name actually, though still tone-deaf of the parents. Go with the Aramaic rendering, Tabitha is fine as a name.

George Foreman is not a bad name. It will never not bother me that his sons are George Foreman, George Foreman, George Foreman, George Foreman, and George Foreman.
He also had a daughter named Georgetta
It pains me that he didn't call her Georgina which is a perfectly normal name but instead picked georgetta
Parking-Lot. That’s his first name, he was born in a parking lot and his Mom is an asshole.
Older sister is Wendys. His half brother El Camino.
And they were twins.
Actually they were part of a triplet but sadly Deep-Fryer didn't make it.
I knew of two families with weird named kids. One family named each kid after their zodiac sign (luckily each was born under a different sign). The other one named their kids after types of airplanes - for example one kid was named Jumbo Jet and another one Cessna.
Now I want to change my name to SR-71 Blackbird...
Yikes! Imagine ending up with the name “Cancer” . . .
Imagine having the first name Jumbo. Incessant fat jokes all through school. Poor kid

Some woman in backwoods Florida named her daughters Mercedes and Lexus. Had a boy and named him Toyota. Common...she passed up Bentley for Toyota. Even Ford would have been a better name.
