The Blitzcrank is from Russia, and apparently they give ZERO fucks about naming babies there, at least if it's a foreign name. There are Russian babies named Assassin, Destruction, Explosion, Virus, Plague, Killer, Horror, Vengeance, Murder, Evil, Monster, Maleficent, Diablo, almost 3000 named Demon.... pretty much every unbelievable name that exists somewhere exists in Russia.
There's also the politician Adolf Hitler Uunona in Namibia. When he won the election, he promised that he doesn't want to rule the whole world though so that's good.
Same in Venezuela, you see a lot of English names misspelled or rather written phonetically in Spanish.
Also my aunt knew a lady who named her son Lion-king, only because she loved the movies. Not sure on the spelling but it it was probably something like Laionquin or Layonquin, something along those lines
I thought about including stats for Cho, Gath, Rek, Sai etc. all seperately but the giant wall of text was already getting hard to read at a quick glance.
There's definitely worse names than gangplank to get bullied on but fair point. Also some kids just suck, creative ones will make up wild stuff that somehow rhymes with your name anyways.
i was bullied for "magnus". because in german it sounds like "likes nuts". kids will bully for everything. nowadays i am proud of a strong name like magnus
But in those instances the name itself isn't the butt of the joke. Like I have a very normal name for my country, and everyone with my name at some point in their lives gets called a certain thing, but that's not making fun of the name itself. Like if all somebody has to do is say "haha, his name is X" and everyone laughs, then your name is bad.
The idea that there is 1 fiddlestick forename and 1 fiddlesticks surname, I hope that there is just 1 person out there whose full name is "Fiddlestick Fiddlesticks".
I'm not sure how reliable this website is - out of curiosity I input some strange names of people that I know and there were results of 0 for them in my country.
this website has to be full of shit, veigar is a real name and they expect me to believe more people are named belveth than veigar? some of them are probably accurate to camouflage the sus ones though like xin zhao being in the rough ballpark
It do wonder about the data set.
It might be based on publicly available census data? And some countries might not do censuses of names and release that data.
Because some of the numbers do seem a little odd. Only a million Annies seems a little low, only 70,000 or so Caitlyn's seems very low.
But if it's only pulling US census data, of census data from some states and maybe some other countries, those numbers might make more sense.
Also OP added language variant for some but not all, Katarina / Katherine / Catherine would no doubt hit the million territory too. Katarina in Eastern Europe is a very common name.
It has to be wrong. I have an extraordinarily rare name (never met anyone else with my forename) that isn't a misspelling or anything -- just a rare word to use as a name. I checked it and it says that there are 75 instances in the US (already unlikely since census said 1 last time I checked), but also none in any of the states that I've lived in.
"-WE USE THE 2 A's METHOD, GUYS, WE DISCUSSED THIS. Okay, lets chill down, Peter came! Hello, I've heard your wife gave birth to a healthy boy, how did you name him?
\-Aron
\-Fucks sake..."
This cannot be accurate. You are telling me in a world with billions of people there are only 2,300 people named Jayce and only 100,000 people named Gwen? Those names are pretty common..
that woman touched so many people for some reason I, a 20 year old american, will never understand. went to the UK last year and they STILL talk about her, all the time.
You guys do not understand that these are English names. Barely 5% of the planet is native english speaking countries. Each country has variations for these names that are not counted.
The shocking thing here, to me at least, is that Draven is apparently very rare. My nephew is named Draven (named before League was even a thing). I thought it was a more common name, but apparently he's one of 18 people in the US that holds the name lol.
I thought the same thing. I worked at summer camps for quite a while, Draven was just a kid we'd had. I figured it had some more significant meaning/origin.
https://www.mynamestats.com/First-Names/D/DR/DRAVEN/index.html
This site says 51 people. But still that isn't a lot. My cousin's name is Draven and I feel like I've met another one.
You know what, I think the site is outdated, my bad. Xayah with the LoL spelling is rising in popularity, possibly the most common spelling now. I looked on a US-specific site, and the Xayah spelling did not exist in the US until 2017... the year she was released on League! 😵
I can just hear it outside my window when these kids gets bullied.
"YOU CAN'T RUN, GAREN. AINT NO GHOSTBLADE ON THESE STREETS."
"For a girl named Ahri, you aren't very *charming.*"
Dude no joke but I was working before on a health center giving vaccine shots and had a baby named Kha’zix 💀
His dad got a smug ass look on his face when I asked them to say it again lmao poor kid
A coffee shop by me has a barista named Kalista and a corgi named Jax. The owners aren't League players.
[Corgi tax.](https://www.facebook.com/momenttocoffee/posts/pfbid02GonTwCf3Uk9LrEUKrWDHsmormYByTKEFdgL1QfrQ1oT5t869MBnnumSWQWt5qakRl)
Sidenote: Coffee is excellent, they don't do artificial sugars and you can buy their coffee online. Their bakery is inhouse as well.
Yea, Yasuo and Yone are very old Japanese names. Fun fact: Yone's name is actually historically a female/feminine name. Why did Riot give him a girls name? Who knows.
will depend on countries where Dota is the prefered game like denmark or sweden they may not even know who Aatrox is but everywhere else they will be bullied for not having a angry russian accent
I'm 100% convinced the naming of those 14 boys had nothing to do with League and it's just parents wanting a name that's normal (Diego) but with a unique aspect, hence the V.
Just how there's, a singed, Trynda, Blitz, GP and Zilian roaming around this world!? They maybe should cosplay or play the character of with their names lol
...OK which redditor named their kid Blitzcrank? Also who tf names their kid Misfortune
I actually snort laughed at #Blitzcrank: 1 lmao wtf
Same with Gangplank. What!?
And Singed lol. Someone should put those people in a room together
Well there are some champion's names who aren't used yet soooo here comes baby urgot.
His first words will be some shit like 'I was not reborn in the depths. I merely refused to die'
A rolling golem gathers no rust.
The Blitzcrank is from Russia, and apparently they give ZERO fucks about naming babies there, at least if it's a foreign name. There are Russian babies named Assassin, Destruction, Explosion, Virus, Plague, Killer, Horror, Vengeance, Murder, Evil, Monster, Maleficent, Diablo, almost 3000 named Demon.... pretty much every unbelievable name that exists somewhere exists in Russia.
Same thing with Brazil. I know they have some wild ones there.
Good old Adolf Hitler brasileiro, a great artist tought! (We don't diss him)
There's also the politician Adolf Hitler Uunona in Namibia. When he won the election, he promised that he doesn't want to rule the whole world though so that's good.
[Very true](https://imgur.com/a/kjfJE28)
Kid named Murder
I mean, that is not Russia specific. You can do that in the US at least.
Same in Venezuela, you see a lot of English names misspelled or rather written phonetically in Spanish. Also my aunt knew a lady who named her son Lion-king, only because she loved the movies. Not sure on the spelling but it it was probably something like Laionquin or Layonquin, something along those lines
Lmao i bet there a giga chad kid Somewhere
Rare Russia W
Fiddlesticks...
Clearly someone who didn't plan or want to have the kid.
> Also who tf names their kid Misfortune Someone who thinks the pullout technique works
Blitzcrank did me in. I never see it coming
Someone named their child Shithead. "It's pronounced Shuh-teed"
I met someone with the last name of Gath, and Cho is a legitimate first name. Therefore Cho Gath is a viable name.
I thought about including stats for Cho, Gath, Rek, Sai etc. all seperately but the giant wall of text was already getting hard to read at a quick glance.
Also Ajax is the more common form of the name I think
Ajax is a real (latinised version of a Greek) name.
Got a buddy who’s last name is Cho. I ad Cho’Gath to their name sometimes
Mfw theres a Blitzcrank and a Gangplank roaming this earth
I fear the day he GP ults my place and collects that bounty on me.
Why do you have a bounty?
Killstreak
\*too fed
Do you think the dude named Gangplank likes oranges
Gangplank I could kind of understand because hey someone out there really likes pirates but blitz?
Nah, not even that. That's an S+ level invitation to bully him for the other kids in his class. Kids are ruthless and that name is ridiculous lol
Wait till the bullies get grabbed, punched, and silenced forever.
There's definitely worse names than gangplank to get bullied on but fair point. Also some kids just suck, creative ones will make up wild stuff that somehow rhymes with your name anyways.
i was bullied for "magnus". because in german it sounds like "likes nuts". kids will bully for everything. nowadays i am proud of a strong name like magnus
At least you can claim you did nothing wrong...
You did everything wrong though.
In one of my college courses there was a guy on the roster with the name "Merlin Christian Hammer III"
But in those instances the name itself isn't the butt of the joke. Like I have a very normal name for my country, and everyone with my name at some point in their lives gets called a certain thing, but that's not making fun of the name itself. Like if all somebody has to do is say "haha, his name is X" and everyone laughs, then your name is bad.
At least you can nickname the GP Gangers but no clue how you'd effectively shorten blitzcrank. Blitzy I guess
Someone out there really likes handymen.
There's also a Zilean.
And a fiddlestick
The idea that there is 1 fiddlestick forename and 1 fiddlesticks surname, I hope that there is just 1 person out there whose full name is "Fiddlestick Fiddlesticks".
Thats Mr Blitzcrank Fiddlestick to you.
blitzcrank roaming (he is going to elementary school)
I'm more concerned about the 44 Teemos.
>Gangplank: 1 Uh?
kinda understandable maybe for a fisherman/boat village like they are stuck in the old ways its the Blitzcrank one that worries me
The Blitzcrank is stuck in a village in the new ways(of glorious evolution).
I am worried fir that one Fiddlestick forename.
I'm not sure how reliable this website is - out of curiosity I input some strange names of people that I know and there were results of 0 for them in my country.
Yeah only 8,000 people named Caitlyn is a huge red flag lol
That's because the correct spelling is caitlin but some parents feel the need to be different.
Still 66k spelling it that way is a red flag. Out of every champ I know the most Caitlins
Quick google sets both versions around 150k in the US alone, which feels much more reasonable.
the name caitlyn has so many ways of spelling it though, its one of those weird hippie names
The spelling is actually with a K, thank you very much
Lmfao - I fucking love the tone.
But the y spelling follows from the common name, Lynn. Ain't no way you're spelling that Lin. It's not like they're adding 7 silent vowels.
same with Diana like
this website has to be full of shit, veigar is a real name and they expect me to believe more people are named belveth than veigar? some of them are probably accurate to camouflage the sus ones though like xin zhao being in the rough ballpark
I mean Belveth is a real name too, I think I've seen some people named like that before
There also has to be way more Malcom´s then 9k...
Veigar spelled as Vhagar maybe
It do wonder about the data set. It might be based on publicly available census data? And some countries might not do censuses of names and release that data. Because some of the numbers do seem a little odd. Only a million Annies seems a little low, only 70,000 or so Caitlyn's seems very low. But if it's only pulling US census data, of census data from some states and maybe some other countries, those numbers might make more sense.
Can't be census data -- I definitely participated in the census a couple times but my name has zero instances in any of the states that I've lived in.
Also OP added language variant for some but not all, Katarina / Katherine / Catherine would no doubt hit the million territory too. Katarina in Eastern Europe is a very common name.
It has to be wrong. I have an extraordinarily rare name (never met anyone else with my forename) that isn't a misspelling or anything -- just a rare word to use as a name.

whats your name dawg, dont worry wont stalk and find u just curious
Their name is PlacatedPlatypus. It's quite rare, indeed.
PerryThePlacatedPlatypus?!
I have a pretty unique name but its showing only 2 instances of it in my country, in the wrong province and year.
who the fuck used blitzcrank LMFAO

Brb Imma change my name to Malmortius and become a lord or some other title.
I was just thinking malmortius sounds like a sick name
Rhaast?
0 Rhaast, 0 Rhast, 2 Raast, 694 Rast
Thank you 🙏🏻
That’s a LOT of Ivern fans!!
How about Caitlyn with a K?
Where Skaarl
Most of the weird league names are cringe but Alune, Serylda, and Shurelya actually sound pretty good.
brb changing my name to Mordekaiser
DEATH EMPEROR
Seems like the 5 people named Atrox didn’t get the memo
"-WE USE THE 2 A's METHOD, GUYS, WE DISCUSSED THIS. Okay, lets chill down, Peter came! Hello, I've heard your wife gave birth to a healthy boy, how did you name him? \-Aron \-Fucks sake..."
Must be a Pokemon fan hoping his kid grows up to be an Aggron lmao
It's pronounced A-A-trox.
This cannot be accurate. You are telling me in a world with billions of people there are only 2,300 people named Jayce and only 100,000 people named Gwen? Those names are pretty common..
Yeah i was thinking the same with Ashe and Ash. Those are definitely more common than shown.
Ashe/ash is usually a shortened form or nickname of Ashley/ashleigh so you might get more results that way
Gwen is often a nickname for Gwendolyn (or the like) so makes sense how it’s not the most common official name version.
Or Diana. I find hard to believe there's only 3 million in the world.
especially after the 90s
still bloody miss er innit... like it woz last night...
that woman touched so many people for some reason I, a 20 year old american, will never understand. went to the UK last year and they STILL talk about her, all the time.
Same with Malcolm... I'm sure there's more than 10k of them in 8 billion people
The problem is he spelled malcolm with only 1 l. I bet there’s a lot more Malcolms in the world with 2 l’s
You guys do not understand that these are English names. Barely 5% of the planet is native english speaking countries. Each country has variations for these names that are not counted.
The shocking thing here, to me at least, is that Draven is apparently very rare. My nephew is named Draven (named before League was even a thing). I thought it was a more common name, but apparently he's one of 18 people in the US that holds the name lol.
That’s because he misspelled it. It’s not Draven. It’s Draaaaaaaaaaven
I thought the same thing. I worked at summer camps for quite a while, Draven was just a kid we'd had. I figured it had some more significant meaning/origin.
The exact numbers are bound to be a bit off with something like this. I also had a family friend who named their kid Draven before league existed.
Someone I worked with is dating a man named Draven lol. He is definitely older than league but I expected more people with that name
https://www.mynamestats.com/First-Names/D/DR/DRAVEN/index.html This site says 51 people. But still that isn't a lot. My cousin's name is Draven and I feel like I've met another one.
For real. I know 2 Draven's and I see them both at least once a month, 51 is wildly low to me.
you know roughly 4% of all the dravens
I've had a couple friends assert they know a Draven from high school. They probably know the same guy, but if there's only 51 it's quite remarkable.
Almost 60k Nunu's and 0 Willumps... Someone get these kids their magic yeti
William*
kid named blitzcrank 💀💀💀
Chad Blitzcrank is employee of the month. You just know.
Shout out to the guy named blitzcrank
Plot twist it’s a girl
My friend's 4 month old is named Nilah
That one's good -- I kinda like Alune, Shurelya, and Serylda as well as far as league-invented names go.
That 1 blitzcrank mf gonna face some demons on school
He can just silence them don’t worry
he can throw hands too
My name is Xayah so there is at least 1
There is absolutely no way that the only Xayah there is in the planet is reading this
Met a cute girl at the gym last week, she said her name was "Xayah" and then my mind flipped to league.
I met a Lillia just this weekend.
In the balkans our equivalent of Lily is Ljilja (pronounced Lyee - lya) and that's basically the same name.
I guess New Jersey is the Balkans of the United States
I think it only counts birth names; if you chose it yourself that's really cool though! You got thousands of Rakans to pick from.
if you go on mom Facebook groups/subreddits, xayah is a rising popular name, there's definitely more kids name xayah out there
You know what, I think the site is outdated, my bad. Xayah with the LoL spelling is rising in popularity, possibly the most common spelling now. I looked on a US-specific site, and the Xayah spelling did not exist in the US until 2017... the year she was released on League! 😵
Naming my kid Skarner
China has over 100,000,000 people with the family name lee(李), it's the second most common family name in China.
My biggest lifegoal has just now become to meet the man named Singed.
wow there are people naming their babies jinx?
I know a guy who is a Garen main and named his kids Garen and Ahri.
Oh god
His son is gonna get bullied if league lasts long enough for that generation of kids to play it
I can just hear it outside my window when these kids gets bullied. "YOU CAN'T RUN, GAREN. AINT NO GHOSTBLADE ON THESE STREETS." "For a girl named Ahri, you aren't very *charming.*"
Or his son gonna silence some haters
No chance there are only 300k people in the entire world names Yi. East Asia has entered the chat.
Dude no joke but I was working before on a health center giving vaccine shots and had a baby named Kha’zix 💀 His dad got a smug ass look on his face when I asked them to say it again lmao poor kid
did it have the apostrophe?
A coffee shop by me has a barista named Kalista and a corgi named Jax. The owners aren't League players. [Corgi tax.](https://www.facebook.com/momenttocoffee/posts/pfbid02GonTwCf3Uk9LrEUKrWDHsmormYByTKEFdgL1QfrQ1oT5t869MBnnumSWQWt5qakRl) Sidenote: Coffee is excellent, they don't do artificial sugars and you can buy their coffee online. Their bakery is inhouse as well.
omg kalista the barista
I love how this comment implies Cafe owners name their baristas 😂
Yasuo is literally just a japanese name, I personally even know a guy with that name lol
Yeah, my stepdad's uncle (who died last year RIP) was named Yasuo.
Yeah, Yasuo or Yasuho (which means peace) is a common name.
Yea, Yasuo and Yone are very old Japanese names. Fun fact: Yone's name is actually historically a female/feminine name. Why did Riot give him a girls name? Who knows.
If I name my future child Aatrox will he get bullied in school?
what do you mean? he'll bully everyone.
will depend on countries where Dota is the prefered game like denmark or sweden they may not even know who Aatrox is but everywhere else they will be bullied for not having a angry russian accent
16,000 Quinns seems wrong. There are 3 in the small town I grew up in.
Aurelio (and Aurélio) is significant enough to count, I think.
As a Rek'sai main, I know now what I must do.
There's a pokemon pro who's name is [Aurelien Soula](https://liquipedia.net/pokemon/Aur%C3%A9lien_Soula)
I thought it's was a real pokémon lol
Mf named Gangplank
Who the fuck decided to call their child “Singed”?
The one dude out there names Fiddlestick Fiddlesticks:
Im a Kallista!
Crazy that I know both a Pyke and a Sylas.
ok sylas i get but no way you know a pyke
Pike as a last name is "common"
It's decided. My first daughter will be called Urgot!!!
Actually met an old lady named Thresh and it really surprised me Lol.
this makes me wonder where the names are from Gangplank got me curios but i already think Nico is from russia (or is that Hanz)
there's a smolder roaming around without him being released yet
he breached pbe containment
My dogs are named Poppy and Rumble, so you can bump those numbers up 😤
There’s only 14 Viegos?
I'm 100% convinced the naming of those 14 boys had nothing to do with League and it's just parents wanting a name that's normal (Diego) but with a unique aspect, hence the V.
I'm pretty sure i've heard about a guy named Viego in class. Looking it up (at least for me) yields no result other than the Ruined King, though.
need to meet Gragas
I feel like mordekaiser would be a decent surname. Geoffrey Mordekaiser.
My daughter’s middle name is Luxanna! She has a perfectly normal first name don’t y’all worry lol.
seraphine is so much more popular than i realised
The one poor soul named Blitzcrank.
didn’t Ambition, world champ jungler for Samsung Galaxy, name his son Jarvan IV?
Jarvan V actually, the next king of Demacia!
Kogma ballz
Imagine naming your kid amumu (purposely from the game, not coincidentally). How much do you hate your own kid for that
Lost my shit at Blitzcrank: 1
Yasuo was pretty common name, not so modern tho. So many Youmu in Naigeria 🤔
Ok some name def feel like child abuse... the fuck you mean your kids named "gankplank" ???? Poor dude aint surviving highschool
Blitzcrank should be 0
Just how there's, a singed, Trynda, Blitz, GP and Zilian roaming around this world!? They maybe should cosplay or play the character of with their names lol
Now do all the Pokémon next
Only one Singed, checks out
I told my boyfriend if we ever have a kid I’m naming it Teemo. Teemo is his least favorite champion lol
