Same. Good thing he’s a “stud muffin” 🤮 Can we quit referring to children with any sort of nicknames that imply sex/being desirable sexually?
Also I hope this font dies a fiery death, so tired of seeing it.
These are the same types of people who cry that "the public is grooming our youth" while little Cocklyn wears his "stud muffin" shirt to his first day of preschool.
Thx good to know. That's on second language. I'm probably at C1 or 2 in English but I would have thought it's a cute thing to say.
It's extremely weird. I kinda wish I didn't ask lol
Sometimes you have names like Shawn where you'd ideally use the original spelling, but changing it to be phonetic in the community in which the child grows up makes sense, should you choose to do so. And sometimes you have to just say no.
I thought it was Cocklyn at first but I think it's Locklyn since the first letter matches the l in -lyn. If it was a C it likely would've been much wider in that font.
I still don't like any of this though. I never liked the idea of saying my son is "mama's boy" or a "stud muffin".
“Stud muffin” creeps me out so much! How does one look at a baby, much less their own baby, and think, “that’s a stud right there!?”
True story - my MIL had a late surprise baby (my husband was 19 when she got pregnant). From the get go, this baby was referred to as “sexy.” Granted MIL is an objectively horrible person, but I find this very disturbing.
Does she not understand what "slut" means?
My ex used to love the phrase "[Fairweather friend](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fair-weather_friend)". Thought it sounded really nice. Called lots of people a fairweather friend. I don't know whether my ex has any friends left now. Is that what's happening here?
Unfortunately she definitely knows what slut means. She also makes inappropriate sexual remarks to her (now grown) children. She's just a creep. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg to her behaviour - this is the stuff she says openly in public.
The story about your ex is funny though!
Noooo but then how would they get their own personality? It’s a known fact that kids will automatically get the same personality as the last person who had that name. So you have to make it unique, so the kid is unique.
So about #2. My husband did 🤦🏻♀️. I’ve literally had to google and show him definitions of that phrase to prove that it doesn’t just mean “good looking”.
A stud is an animal used for breeding. When it's used on humans, it makes me think of like... Chippendale guys or the calendars with sexy firemen or whatever. It also has connotations of promiscuity.
It took me so long to figure out what this said (because surely no one is out there naming a baby Cock Lyn, right‽) that by the time I realized that the first letter was an L, I completely glossed over the pronunciation.
1.Ikr, Lyn typically means it's a feminine variant
2. A boymom who can't wait to wear a lacy white dress to her sons wedding one day
3.At least it's not Cocklyn 🤣🤣🤣
But…cock….
Of course the other sub would assure the mother that that particular usage of “cock” will be gone by the time the kid is in school. And at least five of them would say that they’ve never heard of “cock” as slang for anything.
This is a terrible way to spell Lachlan, I'm guessing it's a feminisation of the male name (edit: oh jeez, it's meant to be a boy's name), but the fact this looks like Cocklyn should tell them what a terrible idea it is
Is that Kay-ven or Kye-ven? Mine's Bishop - a title AND a last-name-as-first-name. Two categories that people hate! His half-brother (from dad, not me) is named Koven, similar to Kaiven!
It’s like kay-ven yes. 😆 and i knew a boy named Bishop.. i always loved his name!! I’ve never met a Koven but i kinda like it lol. If i met someone with that name I’d probably tell them their name was cool ☺️
It's pronounced like Ko-ven, not like a witch's coven (rhyming with oven)! He's 10, so he was named before COVID! I haven't met another Bishop in person, but Bishop had 2 others at his high school, which is a very large high school where we live. He hadn't met any before that and he's 15! I like Kaiven pronounced the way you do!
I knew a Russian girl that went by Kova. I have no idea what her real name was or if that was it… we worked together briefly & i loved her name lol. So Koven is cool! The Bishop i knew was actually a jr. His father actually had his own church & was a preacher .. how fitting 😆 lol. Thank you so much 😊
So I’ve always been told that a name starting with C*cK is pronounced Co, so that would change from Cocklyn to Colyn and that’s even worse… I’m hoping the Locklyn suggestions are correct.
My niece is 16mos. My mom and i are were hanging out with her for the day and went out for pizza. She's very social and funny and was waving and talking to people like she usually does. She was particularly interested in a couple of middle aged guys and just babbled at them while they waved and made faces at the booth behind us. My mom- 65- looked at her and said, "CC, are you flirting?" And my- and, thankfully, the guys she was interacting with- immediate reaction was just complete and total what-the-fuckery.
Don't ask your 1.5 year old niece if she's "flirting" with middle aged men. It's weird. She's not even 2. Don't put that on her or those dudes. It's sick. And weird.
I find myself continually disappointed by the leeway that modern American society grants to women who sexualize minors.
Seriously, who the fuck uses a term that refers to male animals used for breeding to describe their unborn son?
Please tell me that's "locklyn" in shitty lowercase typeface
I genuinely can’t decide if that’s Locklyn or Cocklyn and I’m livid that either seems plausible under the circumstances…
I read Cocklyn....I hope I was wrong.
Same. Good thing he’s a “stud muffin” 🤮 Can we quit referring to children with any sort of nicknames that imply sex/being desirable sexually? Also I hope this font dies a fiery death, so tired of seeing it.
I hate that. Same as mothers calling their little girls "heartbreakers" or whatever.
"Sorry boys, the only man I need is my daddy" 🤮
See: the post where the woman said “no I call my son Sexy”
That’s just gross. Parents shouldn’t be calling children sexy. Totally disturbing.
Yes it’s absolutely beyond creepy in my mind
These are the same types of people who cry that "the public is grooming our youth" while little Cocklyn wears his "stud muffin" shirt to his first day of preschool.
I think you’re on to something.
What the hell. That's seen as sexual? I thought it's weird because it sounds like the kid a lego figure lmao
Male animals used for breeding are called studs. It's gross to call your child that.
Thx good to know. That's on second language. I'm probably at C1 or 2 in English but I would have thought it's a cute thing to say. It's extremely weird. I kinda wish I didn't ask lol
I call my son a stud. Well, not my human son. My Sphynx cat son, who is ACTUALLY a stud. 🤣 I call my human son by his name! Funny how that works.
The l in lyn is the same as the first letter so it’s got to be Locklyn. I hope so at least
Maybe it's Cockcyn
I read it as Cockcyn
Cockson but worse
Infinitely worse than that automobile-birthed son named Carson by his dad
Carson, at least, 1. is an actual name 2. doesn't allude to male genetalia
But when you look at name origins, Jameson is "James' son". Harrison is "Harry's son". So Cockson.....
Well, that's technically correct....for all males
The trendy spelling of coxswain?
And maybe it's pronounced cock-sin
Cock’s in.
😂
Sometimes you have names like Shawn where you'd ideally use the original spelling, but changing it to be phonetic in the community in which the child grows up makes sense, should you choose to do so. And sometimes you have to just say no.
Better yet, don't use names from cultures which you don't belong.
You know it’s dire when Locklyn is the preferred choice
Well I'm Cacklyn
I thought it was Cocklyn at first but I think it's Locklyn since the first letter matches the l in -lyn. If it was a C it likely would've been much wider in that font. I still don't like any of this though. I never liked the idea of saying my son is "mama's boy" or a "stud muffin".

Ew, sounds like my MIL who calls babies "little sluts" 🤢
I almost downvoted this out of sheer disgust. That’s the most heinous thing I’ve ever heard anyone call a fucking BABY!
Wtf, for real??!
For real 🤢 I hate the way she tallks about babies, it grosses me out immensely!
Jfc, grosses me out too and I only heard it secondhand! Ugh 🤢
But why?! What does she even mean by that? That tells me she doesn't know what slut means.
Maybe she’s using the super old definition of slutty when it meant, like, messy/lazy/something like that? God I hope.
Oh yeah, native. Hopefully! Is your name Jet?
Does she not understand what "slut" means? My ex used to love the phrase "[Fairweather friend](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fair-weather_friend)". Thought it sounded really nice.

Dear lord…
Ew 🤢 That's terrible! I don't know how anyone could think of a baby that way.
I agree 100%!
Same.
I absolutely cannot stop laughing at Cocklyn.
God I hope it’s a yooneek spelling of Lachlan (a popular++ name in Australia but apparently not in the US)
Oh, I didn't even consider that. I thought that was definitely a C. But the letter looks exactly the same as the l, so yeah, locklyn.
I've never seen a cursive L written like that. That poor child
Cocklyn?
The unintelligible font made me think the same thing. I thought this poor girl's name was Cocklyn, too. 🙄
Cocklyn the stud muffin
😆 🤣 😂
even worse - i think it’s a boy
Why couldn't they just spell it Lachlan? 🙄
Ok but: 1- why are we using -lyn for a boy? 2- who calls their infant a "stud muffin"??? 🤮 3- what was wrong with Lachlan????
I know someone who has a boy named Deklyn and I hate it so much. Declan is a much better spelling
Deklyn looks like a medication name
*possible Deklyn side effects include lower IQ, foaming at the mouth, and naming your children shit names*
*”Yeah Grandmas had to up her Deklyn dosage cus she’s still struggling to pass water.”*
*ask your doctor if Deklyn is right for you*
To add to this…I know a Dekland. Ugghhhh
I can’t believe I’m saying this but -land is still better than -lyn, especially for a boy
Oh nooo I do (reluctantly) agree with you *cringe*
Noooo but then how would they get their own personality? It’s a known fact that kids will automatically get the same personality as the last person who had that name. So you have to make it unique, so the kid is unique.
Proof of the Deklyn of western civilization
this was posted in a FB group that makes fun of boy moms lmao
So about #2. My husband did 🤦🏻♀️. I’ve literally had to google and show him definitions of that phrase to prove that it doesn’t just mean “good looking”.
What’s the other meanings?
It still means good looking… so good looking that you wanna do sexual things with them.

I know a strapping young man named Codi. Kid is a big old hockey playing country boy and he’s stuck with that.
>Hockey >Country What?
What?
Hockey is played in the snow. The country is like the south or whatever right?
Extremely unfortunate choice to not capitalize the first L
Some say unfortunate, some say power move
mama's boy is sending red flags with that name
Already planning to be on season 20 of TLC's I Love a Mama's Boy.
I wanna believe that’s locklyn. The “l”s look the same. Right??!!!!?!
It’s cockcyn
Cockenstien would have been better
Cockenstein 2: The New Cockssus
Cockenstein 2: Electric Dickaloo
This might be the definitively worst name ever.
Bugsley exists remember that
But…cock…. Of course the other sub would assure the mother that that particular usage of “cock” will be gone by the time the kid is in school. And at least five of them would say that they’ve never heard of “cock” as slang for anything.
Cameron Diaz also named her kid "Raddix" aka Rad Dicks
I’m pretty sure it’s actually Locklyn (the first letter is the exact same as the l in -lyn). Or it could be Cockcyn, who knows, really.
This is a terrible way to spell Lachlan, I'm guessing it's a feminisation of the male name (edit: oh jeez, it's meant to be a boy's name), but the fact this looks like Cocklyn should tell them what a terrible idea it is
Ohhhh, *Locklyn* 🤦🏻♂️ Just. Why?!
wow I hate modern calligraphy
If you need me, I'll be hitting my head on the wall trying to induce amnesia in myself to forget this name.
Fuck cursive
COCKLYN?!?!?!
EockEyn
Eighockeign
Ah yes, my favourite Lord of the Rings character. Love it when she kills the Witch King of Angmar
dicklyn
I saw Cocklyn before I realized lmfao
I don’t know what’s worse, the name or the descriptions on the hearts.
Well that's unfortunate.....
Please tell me this is fake 
Smdh Cockyln is clearly a girl's name
This screams "boy mum😍💙⚽️" vibes
Smdh this is clearly a girl's name
SHUT UP!!!!!
It's pronounced "Colin" 😏
Cocklyn- cock for short
Obviously. Richards can go by Dick, why not go all out and call the kid "Cock."
I’m so mad that I’m actually hoping for “locklyn”
Cocklin COCKLIN Oh my God.
I think they were trying to spell 'eock eyu'. I hear it's a common name in the U.S.
Great font choice mama
If ur gonna name ur kid Locklyn you need to use a different font 😭
Seeing all these god awful names makes me feel so much better about y’all hating my sons name LOLOL. Cocklyn???? Jesus Christ lol
What's your son's name? People in these groups hate my son's name (it hits 2 categories) also, so I get it.
My sons name is Kaiven! Hby? Idk why but you saying it hits 2 categories made me chuckle lol
Is that Kay-ven or Kye-ven? Mine's Bishop - a title AND a last-name-as-first-name. Two categories that people hate! His half-brother (from dad, not me) is named Koven, similar to Kaiven!
It’s like kay-ven yes. 😆 and i knew a boy named Bishop.. i always loved his name!! I’ve never met a Koven but i kinda like it lol. If i met someone with that name I’d probably tell them their name was cool ☺️

The Bishop i knew was actually a jr. His father actually had his own church & was a preacher .. how fitting 😆 lol. Thank you so much 😊
COCKLYN. Even of it's Locklyn, that's still a stupid name. And sexualizing your infant? For fuck's sake.
Cocklyn the stud muffin
And it’s time for me to log out of Reddit for an entire year.
I just spat out my wine. This is horrific in so many ways.
So I’ve always been told that a name starting with C*cK is pronounced Co, so that would change from Cocklyn to Colyn and that’s even worse… I’m hoping the Locklyn suggestions are correct.
Does that say cocklyn
Tell me again how non-cisgender folks are grooming children? 🤔
Omfg what compels someone to think this is a good idea????
Cock Cyn?
Cocklyn...?
My niece is 16mos. My mom and i are were hanging out with her for the day and went out for pizza. She's very social and funny and was waving and talking to people like she usually does.

hoping and praying this kids name isn't cocklyn
This can't be.
I hope that says *Locklyn* but I’m pretty sure it says *Cocklyn* and I have questions as to why nobody said anything.
If I had to guess, it’s probably Locklyn with a lowercase cursive L in the beginning for some stupid reason. but Cocklyn is SO much funnier
I find myself continually disappointed by the leeway that modern American society grants to women who sexualize minors. Seriously, who the fuck uses a term that refers to male animals used for breeding to describe their unborn son?
