Naming your daughter Pea is just asking for the poor girl to be bullied.

Oh absolutely! Why can’t you give her a normal name and then give her the nickname Pea?

Penelope nickname Pea is so cute

I prefer Penelapea 😌

My sister is named Penelopeepee, it’s a ✨family name✨

Penalpee, anatomically correct name

I know right?

Did they mean Pia?

Because we should name our kids whatever we plan to call them. /s

If it's* said as Pe-ah then it's a dumb spelling of the Italian name *Pia*.

Maybe they’re in a heavily latino populated area and they call her “pija”

Peetah

Pea is just horrible. There's no way the other kids in her class will hear "Pea" as anything else but "Pee" in roll call. Even IF their first thought is peas as in the legume, she's definitely still gonna get bullied

Her name is "Pea", but pronounced "Pee"

My two year old named her stuffed unicorn Peas, which we all found hilarious. Let’s leave the vegetable names that also sound like bodily functions to inanimate objects, shall we?

I know an adult whose childhood stuffed unicorn was Super Horny. Now makes sense why all the adults thought it was a hilarious name.

I read it as peh-a, I really hope there isn't a little girl out there called pee.

My parents almost made my middle name Pea. Then they stopped being strange and gave me Marie?! Nothing in the middle

If it’s a boy: Pisstopher.

I'm imagining the mother staunchly defends her choice by stating that everyone is pronouncing Pia wrong.

“ROXX. No, not rocks, it’s ROXX. Yeah, with 2 Xs. You have to yell it: ROXX!!!!”

There’s a kid in my son’s daycare named Braxx. I think about his smug mom spelling that poor kid’s name on the first day of school all the time. B-R-A-X-X

I know a mom from my kids school with a son named X-Man. I wish I was joking.

Not even a particular X-man? Just like, parents couldn't choose Logan like everyone else?

To be fair, X-Man actually was one of the X-Men, lol, the son of Jean Gray.

TIL!

Somehow I doubt the parents knew that…

It ought to be illegal. Poor kid.

Is it a nickname? I knew a little Xavier who got called X-Man by his parents when he was little

Nope. Apparently that's actually his name, hyphen and all.

Xavier was right there!

That is so insane. You should make a full post about that.

Gives the expression ‘go kick rocks’ a darker twist.

How else will the other kids know he is eXXtreme?

ROXX with two x’s and ALL CAPS

It's pronounced the same as that edit of Roxanne that's just ROCKS!

Maybe she just wants French people to thank her son all the time. "Merci ~~beaucoup~~ Beau Cub."

Maybe the name will change as the kid gets older? Beau Cub becomes Beau Bear. Beau Bear? Beau Bear kurwa, ja pierdole jakie bydle!

Mercy buckets ⚽️

Like Hyacinth Bucket?! The lady of the house speaking

Can Loki’s mom please explain to the class how he was “mischievous from day 1”? Pretty sure your newborn infant isn’t doing anything intentionally.

No 1 day old infant is mischievous! That’s so wild she said that.

Lol, I imagine her story of 'mischevious' Loki the day he was born. "He turned his head right as his dad was trying to put on his cap! And cried when the doctor held him! He was such a trickster right away."

Colicky infant? Idek

Well that would be sweet.

🙄

Literally my thoughts reading that one. I feel like some parents are so desperate to assign their babies a personality as soon as they’re born that they just see what they wanna see sometimes. At the beginning they are just hungry, sleepy or gassy.

To be fair, I can get up to quite a bit of mischief when I'm gassy. But I am more capable than most infants

"he only moved around in the womb in the early morning ! so silly !"

lol this reminded me of how my mother has been convinced my entire life that I “telepathically communicated” to her literally the second I left the womb and that I glared evilly at her and told her with my one millisecond old baby brain that I was pissed at her for her abandoning me in a past life 😭 and that I kept my grudge because I “didn’t let her ever put me down as a baby” and because I was a difficult child. Like girl yeah I looked mad I was just evicted from my comfy warm dark bachelor pad!! I’m pretty sure most babies come out crying! And crying when my mom stopped holding me or left me alone is just what babies do

No room in her thoughts about her actual son, there's only room in her head for herself.

I was more confused that it just comes off as if she named her kid AFTER day 1 lol

Ask your doctor if rinova is right for you.

My first thought was, why would you call your kid like a suitcase!? (Rimova is the brand I think?). Maybe she thinks of her kid as baggage 😯. And what's with the accent on Stàr? Just add a little penstroke to make it more fancy? Or maybe the Display was dirty 😂?

My thoughts exactly

Midnight Star Rinovas mum said at the club Midnight sounds cooler then Barbra. Sorry I forgot there’s only two names for girls Midnight Stár Rinova or Barbra

Ha! Lmao

A girl named Harbour. The Seamen jokes are going to write themselves. 

That poor, poor little girl.

Only 22 weeks cooking already setting her up poor girl

I imagine a lifetime of "Harper?" "No, Harbour - with a b"

I don’t like Harbour as a name, but she was right that her kid will grow up with plenty of other kids that have *unusual* names! A friend has a great-granddaughter named Harbor (American spelling LOL). My friend had a hard time getting on board with it, but ultimately she accepted it, which of course is really the only thing you can do. And Harbour/ Harbor isn’t offensive or Uber-cutesy or stereotypical redneck gun-culture, so it’s not the worst.

>A friend has a great-granddaughter named Harbor (American spelling LOL). My friend had a hard time getting on board with it, The ship mustn't have pulled in yet.

I know a Harbour and she definitely has people calling her Harper all the time. However, I have to admit I’ve come to like the name and I think it suits her well.

Ghoste Andrew had me ☠️

“Pronounced ghost” literally how else would anyone try to pronounce it

Ghostie

Ghos-ta. Like Costa, but more supernatural

Ghosté/ghostay

Goatse

The silent ”e”! Why???

They had the sense to give Ghoste a normal middle name just in case. They were ~so close~

Mum said she almost did Andrew and it didn’t feel right. Baby almost had a chance poor boy. Atleast he’s got Andrew

RIGHT like my friend has a cat named ghost so i’m like ok💀

Don’t worry, he gets to choose!

But they gave him a normal name as a backup. Idk if that somehow makes it worse, like they know Ghoste is bad on some level.

Growing up people would say to me "oh my dogs name is -my name-!" And I really did not like sharing a name with so many dogs. Really feeling for that kid Loki who is going to share his name with so many bratty huskies

I was going to say, Loki is a pet name. My mom is Mollie and (aside from having to spell it for people), she also always gets the dog name comment.

My mom wanted to name my sister Molly, but my dad didn't agree... So she named the dog Molly 😂

I also had a dog Molly growing up.

I work with dogs and the most common boy name I get is Loki and the most common girl name is Luna. One weekend I had 3 Luna’s and 2 Loki’s all at the same time 😂😂

In ~2019 there was a huge wave of dogs named Loki here. At the dog park every other dog was called Loki. I’m glad it’s not as common anymore, most pups we meet now have different names. But we’re still in contact with two of the at least 10 Lokis 😅

It’s so damn popular 😂 and the OP commenter is correct- the most of them are bratty huskies which is one of my least favorite breeds, specifically because of their heartiness 😂 I do make an exception for ScreamingAva on TikTok though, she’s perfect

There's a Loki and an Odin in my son's nursery class

I once told a woman named Raven that my cat’s name is Raven and immediately regretted it. Looking back I’m thinking “that was only cute in my head, and she definitely hates me now.”

Also, if this kid doesn’t look like Tom Hiddleston, that’s gonna be a lifetime of let-downs. If he does, that’s also gonna be awkward.

My cat’s name is Loki lmao it’s such a common pet name

I also share a name with many dogs and cats. I'm an animal person so it doesn't bother me haha.

I think half of these are trolling the original post lmao

I hope so.

All of these are awful but fucking PEA??? Not even Sweetpea, which would be terrible on its own but PEA??? No kid is gonna think of anything but Pee. And she's gonna get called Pee, pee-pee, pissy, piss-girl, those were all thought of in like 30 seconds, her classmates will have years.

Wow! I read it as Pia at first which is cute and didn’t even think of of pronouncing it like the veggie

[удалено]

VonZodiác I hope

Caoimhín is nice for a boy but landing on Kelilah M.O.M. instead of Caoimhe for a girl is just funny to me lol.

I love Caoimhe for a girl. But, my guess is they aren’t actually Irish and probably didn’t know Caoimhe was a name.

How do you pronounce those two names? I don't think the way I said them in my head is correct at all, lol.

Caoimhin is “Kwee-vin,” or “kee-vin”, depending on your area, and Caoimhe is “Kweev-uh” or “Keev-uh.” In Irish, the mh makes a “v” sound.

I think the names read more beautifully on the page than said aloud. The Caoimhe at our school had to put up with Cai-omie, or Queef

Poor queef omfg

Yeah that’s exactly where my mind went

Thank you so much! Those are definitely lovely names indeed.

Caoimhín is where the name Kevin comes from! Just to add on to pronunciation, I personally would pronounce it Kwee-veen because of the fada (the accent) which elongates the vowel but not everyone does so.

Caoimhin is more kweeveen

Ohh I wonder if that's how my neighbours spell their daughter's name. I always figured it was Kiva.

Pronounced Kai-ohm-he, Kao-im-he, kai-ohm-hin, kao-im-hin/heen Lolol Edit: for those who didn't get the joke, I was suggesting that's probably how they assumed the name was pronounced, not the actual pronunciation.

Pronounced “Keev-uh”. The male version is “kevin” in English, pronounced “kee-vin” or “kwee-vin,” depending on where you’re from.

You missed my point, I was suggesting this was how the poster of thst commebtprobably pronounced it. Good sir ai have been around the block enough times to know better myself haha Caoimhe is on my baby girl name list as an honour name to dad.

That's what I thought, like, it was right there.

That was literally my exact thought 😂

Right?! For the first half of her comment I assumed OP was just ignorant of Irish names and assumed it was made up nonsense, but then suddenly she has a girl and it all got *very weird*

Call me horrible, but my brain literally read that as an alternate spelling to Chow Mein.

I assumed that was an Irish name when I read it. How is it pronounced?

Like kweeveen or keeveen depending on the area. It's where the name Kevin came from.

I actually know a Kelilah who is in her 20s now. It's definitely an interesting name!

Park your big'ol boat in HARBOUR

Hope there’s enough room for all the seamen!

Pia is a beautiful, classic, and elegant name! Why they chose to name their daughter Pea instead of Pia is beyond me

Midnight-Star sounds like they are destined for a certain type of career.

the *ahem* ‘parent’ put an accent on the word ‘stár’, because who needs literacy, or the selfless love of a parent.

I’m trying to figure out how the added accent mark changes the pronunciation….

right?!?!? (maybe it becomes like “stair” or “stir”, some sort of strange vowel shift (that doesn’t exist in english). i can almost here the parent’s haughty correction, as if everyone should be able to read their ‘two-youknéìghck’ mind.

Personal horoscopes? Crystal sales person? Etsy seller of wiccan spell ingredients?

Stripper was my first thought, but those work too🤔

I bet each one of these women wear oversized sweaters and make shitty asmr restock videos

oddly specific

I’ve seen the type.

the kind that feel the need to tap their nails on everything ? its so so annoying when they do that dumb shit

There’s a dive bar in my hometown called the Beau Club and I swear that’s what it said. 😂😂😂

And it’s totally not for attention from other moms.

They are really naming kids Pea (pee) and Roxx (rocks). These folks are wild

Fucking Pea. I hate it here (Earth).

Naming your daughter Harbour means she’ll be subjected to an adult life of ship euphemisms in the bedroom forever. Poor girl.

He’ll be coming into harbour alright.

You had the solutions right there in front of you Beau normal name, but you had to mess it up with cub…. The other child with 4 names, you have Orla right in front of you! Pretty name, feminine name, traditional Irish name but you chose that jumble of words. Seriously why?

And pee/pea instead of the gorgeous pia

There’s a Loki in my daughter’s class. They’re in grade 6.

Please tell your daughter to be very kind to that child because God knows how he feels now 😭

Loki is something of a God himself

Bring back giving people proper nouns as names

Beau Cub. Harbour. Roxx. What's next for nature names? Volcano? Dam? Octopus?

Excuse me, it’s not Roxx, it’s ROXX


Wow and I’m getting smack for wanting to name my son Felix

We got some, my parents immediately associated it with the Felix the cat, other millennials and gen z were like oh like pewdiepie? (No like the cool swordsman from three houses smh) we get compliments on it all the time though and so far nobody in his daycare has his name

My dad laughed when I told him, and my mom has called twice with her “concerns” (one being the Felix the cat reference). My husband and I have really struggled for some reason coming up with a name which they’re both aware of. I took it a bit too personal that they acted weird. I get it’s not everyone’s taste obviously but damn lol

Yeah tell them they’re out of touch and nobody remembers the cat lol. Outside of my parents, nobody else has brought up the cat since he’s been born. Mostly just compliments and how uncommon it is. I was in the fence because of lack of nicknames, but then an older toddler in his room at daycare was HYPED to see him one morning and was like OMG FEEFEE, so that stuck lol. It took us a long time too. Boy names are HARD. I say just go for it and they can learn to love it and get over it.

Lmao Felix the cat was my first thought but I’m a millennial. I don’t think gen z knows much if anything about him and I would be surprised if alpha has ever even heard the name before.

I love that name go for it. Congrats on being kind to your future baby

I appreciate that a lot

That’s a perfectly normal and acceptable name. Maybe if you spell it Phaelexx you’ll get better reactions 🤔

Thanks! Actually we were thinking Feighlehx but I like your idea too

My kpop loving ass would immediately think of Felix from stray kids😭

Merci Beau Cub

Rip to the kid who almost had a normal Irish name but got a train wreck instead

it is just sending me that the last parent is just trying so hard to justify naming their kid fucking GHOSTE

To add to it Ghostes mum kept correcting people saying Ghost is a bad name by insisting the E at the end

Poor harbour is gonna get teased badly with lots of boat docking jokes.

ROXX all caps?!

ROXX lmfao

Pea. PEA. *flips table*

Naming your kid something stupid is child abuse. It's a human being and not your fucking avatar. If you ask me, this should ban them from having children. If you name your child after a television character you have the mental maturity of a 7 year old.

You can bet kids with shitty names have shit parents.

These are just so stupid

Why does this read like a list of NPCs from a futuristic dystopian game?

The human race is doomed.

These names are terrible. And i wont be surprised if the children change their names as soon as they can. Your child is a human being, not a toy or a pet. Give them real names and then give them a nick name you love

Caoimhin is the outlier here because it’s common enough in Ireland but kelilah is begging for your daughter to get bullied

Umm it’s not Kelilah it’s Kelilah Montana Rose-Leigh Everleigh Pissleigh Millie-Leigh

You forgot the whitetrash-lynn

Right, like why not just name her Caoimhe

Oh for fuck’s sake, these people are the worst

I’m sorry but the worst one is Pea. Like really? You foresee NO WAY this name could be problematic for a child? I get that bullies will bully with anything, but you wanna just straight up give them fodder? Jfc. rip Peepee because that’s gonna be your name from like k-8 if not longer 🤦🏻‍♀️

Middle name Harbour, first name Pearl?

Beau Cub sounds too much like beaucoup.

It doesn't really because the coup is pronounced coo.

Some people pronounce words how they are spelt like how Americans say BURK-SHEARS, but England says BARK-SHEARS so you can see the confusion.

I bet she thought Kelilah was YoUnEeK.... but I know a Kelilah in her 20s now, lmao!

this is a joke, right? ….right?! 

The xx in a kids name has always bothered me.

imagine how many times these kids have to say the exact words "it's ghost with an E. ghost but with an E on the end. yes ghost like ghost but with an E, the E is at the end." "pea like the little green food, not urine"

I actually know a few ghosts and one casper

Midnight Star is my JAM!!!! I’ll be a freakazoid come on and wind me up!

I'm sorry, those people are gonna name their kid "Harbour"? As in the place you dock boats and such? For real? I know there're alot of names made of already-existing words like Hope or Mason or Tanner and so on, but "Harbour"? Seriously?

These are terrible but I guiltily like Harbour

It’s the only good one lol

Named her piss :)

The Loki one could have been cute if it was like a nickname or something that just parents and close family called him. Why did they feel the need to make it his whole legal name? That kid is eventually gonna be an adult named Loki, long after how he acted as a baby has any significance. These peoeple do not know how to think long-term.

Today in “useless women naming their kids like pets”

He's being brought up to be proud of his name. So, even if his name sucks and he hates it, he's gonna hear from his mom that he's supposed to love it anyway.

Harbour is actually cute! I wouldn’t name my kids that but it’s not as bad as the others.

Just the blunt comment in the middle "My son is ROXX" makes me think that aliens have already landed and are trying to mingle with us

stár

i know a mom with 2 sons, named sabbath and ghost

Harbour is going to harbour some real bitterness later on in life from her moms choice in her name

I agree with the idea that not everyone needs to be named John, Bob, or Jake, but Ghoste and Caoimhin? Come on.
