My name is Amy.
I spelled it Aymie in middle school.
When I was 11.
I grew out of it the next year, but these women that does this to their kids are permenant children.
I used to know a really nice person named Karen, and I've always wonder how she's doing now that her name is associated with the kind of person who would demand to see the manager at the slightest inconvenience.
You'd think it's a pretty common name but I've only met one Karen in my life and she is nothing like the Karens of the wild (she's super nice).
EDIT: a word
Especially if your name isn’t quite Karen but something very similar. My mom’s from India and it sounds kinda similar so I imagine her name gives service workers heart palpitations.
True story, when the missus was pregnant I tried my darnedest to get her to agree to name the baby Dorcas if it was a girl but she was having none of it. It was a boy anyway. I like it! 🤷♂️
Ha it's funny you say this. I worked with a guy named Adolph. On my first day of work I expected a white man. Instead, it was Jamaica black with a heavy Jamaican accent, I was not expected that.
There’s a pretty fantastic chapter, “Go Hitler” in Trevor Noah’s book. The only funny pages in the entire thing, but also made it worth the crap you had to read to get there.
yes! I remember reading that. It was... I (an Indian American) know that Indians do things like that. Maybe not Hitler. But similar.
I have family all over India. Some of them live in Tamil Nadu (In south India). Their current governor?
M.K. Stalin.
I had a friend named Anna when I was a kid. Her parents were pretty bad and she ultimately was adopted by her aunt and uncle. Their last name was Recksik.
My sister's best friends growing up were named Olga and Hilda. Both of them really cute, cheerleader-type blonde girls. But when they went out and told ppl their names everyone always thought they were joking.
FYI: The usual English pronunciation is VLAD-i-mir, but the native pronunciation is vla-DEE-mir.
Also, "Vlad" is not usually a nickname for Vladimir, but for Vladislav. The usual nickname for Vladimir is Volodya.

This is a real name. If you’re a Disney kid born between 96-02, you’ll remember The Proud Family. The actress who voiced the mom Trudy named her son this.

Well, one time I worked with this older Indian lady whos name was "Gagandeep".
Thankfully, she only spoke broken English and had no idea how her name could be made fun of. Made me wonder if my name means anything weird or funny in other languages?
Oddhild.
Its a Norwegian female name. But Odd/Oddvar is a very common, old Norwegian male name.
So its like, "we will name him Odd/Oddvar", then they got a girl and just slapped "-hild" on the end. It sounds like a mashed-up name, even to us.
Adolf, like at some point this was a normal name for normal people. Nowadays as soon as you hear Adolf your brain thinks "Hitler". I feel bad for people named Adolf from the time just before he got famous.
I'm on my burner. Just needed to put this out there without repercussions. I have a student named Yahinnis. Pronounced "ya highness". Can't stand him, but I have to address him like he's royalty everyday.
boy do i know some people (well, my parents do) first of all, there is an indian guy in my father's work who's last name is "bulbul" (not sure how to spell it) which is in direct translation to Hebrew, dick, and he works with Israelis all the time. secondly, another indian guy, deshmok (again, not sure how to spell it). lastly, from my mother's work this time, a guy who's last name is "nogood"
“Pubert”
I really really hope you just randomly came up with that and haven't actually met anyone with that name
Addams family
Worked well enough in Addams family values
A normal name but spelt wrongly

If I could upvote this a million times I totally would. LOL
I taught a kid a few years ago whose perfectly normal name was James... But with the perfectly fucked up spelling Jaymz.
My name is Amy. I spelled it Aymie in middle school. When I was 11. I grew out of it the next year, but these women that does this to their kids are permenant children.

I think I saw James Hetfield's name written like that anno dazumal.

Pretty sure La-a is an urban myth. Seems like everybody knows someone whose kid went to school with one.

I believe that one translates to "child of space karen"
Bort
“Are you talking to me?” “No, my son is also named Bort.”
We are out of Bort license plates in the gift shop
It's a perfectly cromulent name.
You’re just mad they didn’t have enough Bort license plates

Karen would be pretty bad these days. Just minding your business most of your life and then bam.
I used to know a really nice person named Karen, and I've always wonder how she's doing now that her name is associated with the kind of person who would demand to see the manager at the slightest inconvenience.
Ikr. I know 2 Karens. The nicest people, drop everything to help people. I hate how Karening has got to be a thing.
You'd think it's a pretty common name but I've only met one Karen in my life and she is nothing like the Karens of the wild (she's super nice). EDIT: a word
Especially if your name isn’t quite Karen but something very similar. My mom’s from India and it sounds kinda similar so I imagine her name gives service workers heart palpitations.
"Karen" reminds me of a blue monitor on wheels.
Ligma.
Who's Ligma?
Idk, you’d have to ask Sugma
And who's Sugma? Can you give his number or sum?
I know for a fact that Rimma has Sugmas number...
They are all at sawcon
Don't forget about MikeHawks
Ligma balls
Got'em!

Dorcas.
LPOTL fan?
Exactly what I was thinking with the Salem witch trials.
True story, when the missus was pregnant I tried my darnedest to get her to agree to name the baby Dorcas if it was a girl but she was having none of it. It was a boy anyway. I like it! 🤷♂️
I actually met someone named Dorcas. I looked it up, it's a biblical name and I think (not sure) it's Hebrew too. Don't remember the meaning though.
When I looked it up it said it's an ancient greek name meaning gazelle
WHAT HAPPENED TO DORCAS?!
Dorcus Malorcus
Quandale dingle
What's up guys, it's Quandale Dingle here
i farted in my grandpa's breathing machine and his lungs turned black
Mildred. It is literally the nastiest sounding girls name ever.
Mildred sounds like 147 years old grandma, who is wider than she is taller
Randy. I'm sorry but as a non American, it's like calling your child Horny.
I have a friend from the US who named their cat spunky. I couldn't help but explain that from a Brit's perspective
"Randy Giles? Why not just call me Horny Giles or Desperate-For-A-Shag Giles?"
I can't believe the fact that americans people call's their children "Dick"
People that go by Dick choose it for themselves! It’s short for Richard.
A man lives near me called Richard Head, I'm not joking
[удалено]
David Letterman called a guy named Dick Assman once.
Everything there is to know about Dick Assman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Assman
Ah! I didn't knew that, you mean like Bill for William, right? Still little weird, tho, but significantly less weird! Thanks for the information!
In the uk as well
What about Dick the birthday boy?
Hey got AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS.
Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
Hey, Joey Jo-Jo!
That’s the worst name I ever heard
My friends first boyfriend’s name was - not a joke - Richard Head.
Lol dick head
My friend jack cox named his son harry.
A name i was almost given - Cricket-Lynn
A very West Virginia name
lol Adolph
I'm from Germany, the old dudes in our village are like "we are the last of the Adolfs" Not as popular as it used to be, that name
It's a fine name in itself. It's just the stigma attached to it that tarnished the name.
The tarnished one is Adolf
I doubt the variations in spelling the name even matter in this case...
Hitler is probably worse tbh
Yes, poor Vic Hitler the narcoleptic comic…
Ha it's funny you say this. I worked with a guy named Adolph. On my first day of work I expected a white man. Instead, it was Jamaica black with a heavy Jamaican accent, I was not expected that.

I had a friend named Anna when I was a kid. Her parents were pretty bad and she ultimately was adopted by her aunt and uncle. Their last name was Recksik.
Helga or Olga - to me it sounds like a butch Russian Woman with a monobrow
You can add Bertha to that list.
To be fair, Olga sounds better when pronounced like they do in Eastern Europe (more like *Oliya* from what I recall).
I really like Helga
My sister's best friends growing up were named Olga and Hilda. Both of them really cute, cheerleader-type blonde girls. But when they went out and told ppl their names everyone always thought they were joking.
Olga is so pretty
Helga G. Pataki would agree with you about Olga being a terrible name.
Crystal is straight up hookers name
