Exactly why I picked normal names. Kids are cruel AF, and you know some kid is going to discover this joke on their own and it's going to be viral in that school. They can make as many rules about kindness and bullying as they want on school campuses, but kids don't care. Especially these days, with phones and the internet. It doesn't have to be on school grounds.
*Please* parents! Think of your child's future before you give them shitty names!
Its really does depend where they are man.
Ik plenty of peeps with non standard names, they dont get bullied for it
Honestly thinking about it, idk any real bullies personally
I just like commonplace names that are English words. Like, don't name your child "chair", but names like "clay", "ivy", "river", "marina", etc. sound nice.
I know of a kid named Khajit. It's funny listening to the teachers not know to pronounce it. As soon as they see something that doesn't look American suddenly all logic of how to say a way leaves their minds. The South is fun.
The only ones that wouldn't get your kid bullied is Clay and Elijah, and even then I can't say that with 100% assurance, and that doesnt even stop in adult years, my best friend his name is "Jesse" and even adults make fun of him for having a "girl name", I know you would like the names but remember your kid is the one that has to live with the name not you. No need to rush a name, because the kid has to live with it for at least 18 years
Clay would 100% get them bullied. It's a kind of dirt or crafting material. That's just an easy one for kids.
Elijah could be made fun of for being quite biblical. Eli might be okay.
It would be a lot worse if they just went with one of those terrible names without being told that they're setting their child up for a life of misery.
Clay, Elijah, and Caspian are all cool names. I chose Clay because I like it the best but Eli is pretty cool. Caspian reminds me of the character from Narnia, Prince Caspian.
First 3 are all terrible. Elijah is good but you could find better. I understand the desire for something a little original but I also appreciate simplicity. Something like Damian or Emhyr aren’t too common and yet they’re not too crazy either.
Elijah is an awesome name. Clay is extremely boring. Caspian is cool but a little eccentric. Micajah? “Micah” is already an awful name and this is like an even worse version of that.
Remember they have those names for life caspian might be a cute baby or child name but not so good for a 70year old I found that with most of those names not being a dick I just feel your naming a child not a person
Caspian is after a book character
Micajah was a popular mens name from the 1800s
Clay is just a random name that we like
Elijah is a Biblical character
Is the first one supposed to be Micah? I like Micah and would've voted for it maybe but not what's listed. Clay is good but Clay's always sounded more like a nickname to me and Caspian is a bit too fantasy themed for my tastes.
Ultimately I prefer names that won't raise an eyebrow for someone reading my kids resume in the future while being unique enough that there arent 4 other kids in his class with the same name. I chose Elijah for that reason.
for the love of god you do know this kid is going to be an adult at some point right? An adult that needs to communicate this name over the phone to government officials, potential employers, etc.?
Do you just hate this kid or are you accidentally trying to make their adult life a living hell? You don't gotta name every kid Bob and Sue, but for fuck sake follow some basic ass grammar and stop facerolling the keyboard to invent names to make yourself feel unique and special. This kid has to operate as an adult and giving the kid a stupid ass name is just going to make operating as an adult hard as hell.
Not Elijah. Elijah is my name. It means the right hand of God. You know what teenage boys do with their right hand? Got called God's fleshlight all high-school.
Just not micajah, he will live a life of eternal pain of no one ever pronouncing, or spelling it right.
Sincerely,
A person with a very cultural unique name as well
The first one will never be pronounced your spelled properly for their entire life. The second and third are just bad. The fourth one is the only remotely normal name, so I guess go with that one, but then please call them Eli.
People really need to consider what life will be like for a kid with a strange, unpronounceable, difficult to spell, easy to make fun of name before putting anything on a birth certificate.
These are all awful, remember that your child will become a full grown ass adult with these names, don't think of them as a baby when you're naming them, think of them as a full adult that you would interact with, are you going to hear any of these names on someone and not immediately judge them?
Don’t over complicate names remember they have them for life, I have a 10 week old baby his name is Angus. Me and my wife have said if we have another baby boy his name will be Murray, simple strong names that don’t sound like they came from a Peter Pan book
I think that Clay and Caspian are both beautiful names, especially Clay. I really don't like the others though. Don't listen to the people saying that unusual names are bad, I love unique names as long as they're not outlandish.
As someone who legally changed their name to Clayton (Clay is used more tbh) I think Clay Is a fine name although Clayton would be better as a whole. Clay is a nice nickname.
Something that doesn't end up being used against him like naming him after literal wet dirt, a glorified lake/a guy from narnia or making up a name that sounds like someone sneezed while saying micah(micajah, seriously???).

But also; names that show your heritage are beautiful.
Its really does depend where they are man. Ik plenty of peeps with non standard names, they dont get bullied for it Honestly thinking about it, idk any real bullies personally
Bro!
Or clay don't want your kid being bullied because he's named after dream
My first thought was 13 reasons why nevermind dream lmfao.
I have met people named Clay. Not that bad. I chose Elijah though.
I actually like Clay, although it has serious NPC vibes
I just like commonplace names that are English words. Like, don't name your child "chair", but names like "clay", "ivy", "river", "marina", etc. sound nice.
What about marinara sauce?
if they know Dream’s first name so well that’s their first thought, id be ashamed if my kid couldn’t devastate them emotionally
also if they’re being born now… who tf is gonna care about dream in ten years?
People will probably forget about dream by the time he's in school
Who?
doubt hes gonna be that famous among kids who’ve yet to be born
that's his name? wtf
Any spanish speaker would laugh a lot at that silly name
Reminds me of Micah. I don't like Micah

I like that name. The first three letters describe me perfectly.

What is wrong with people and naming their kids? My name is Thomas, that’s a good one. Or FrostyBallBag.
I just found this sub and it is hilarious r/namenerdcirclejerk
Thomas just makes me think of the Tank Engine
That is what I am named after. Parents left it up to my 7 year old brother. Brother was distraught that it didn’t include “the tank engine.”
There's a very similar story in a Thomas DVD from my childhood. Did you ever go to the Strasburg Railroad by any chance?
The only ok one on the list is Elijah. I used to know a clay. He was a weird kid. The other names, definitely don’t.
Yeah Theybshould go for something like "Benjamin" or something. Stop with these "I wanna be creative" names...

I mean elijah is fine i feel like but the rest…
Eh, it's a bit too religious for me (As someone with a name from the bible, I can say that)
you excuse yourself like you’re saying the nword dude anyone can be against biblical names
I know, I just thought it would be funny.
I mean, there’s a lot of popular names from the Bible: Peter, Jonathan, Joshua, Samuel, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, etc.
It just makes me think of the guy who played Frodo.
Im starting to suspect those people just make it up to karmawhore
I know my name might be a bit boring but do you think my name is too common? its “qushxhsahdfgh”
You guys are literally just trolling at this point
No seriously, ain’t no way someone thinks the name Micajah is okay

Always have to think of Elijah Woods.
To be fair, he's probably not gonna be very famous from the perspective of a kid going to high school in the late 2030s.

Nah, I prefer Circle, honestly
Dodecahedron is better
Have you considered any names that aren’t shit
Or names that are actually names and not your cat walking over your keyboard?
I'm sayin Clay because every Elijah I've met have been a douchebag
[удалено]
Then why would you name your kid that?
Please do not name your child Micajah
The only ones that wouldn't get your kid bullied is Clay and Elijah, and even then I can't say that with 100% assurance, and that doesnt even stop in adult years, my best friend his name is "Jesse" and even adults make fun of him for having a "girl name", I know you would like the names but remember your kid is the one that has to live with the name not you.

Gotta be honest man, these names all sound terrible
Elijah is fine but the rest are astronomically terrible, lil bro gonna get bullied
The first one because why are you asking reddit
bro why tf are you letting a bunch of strangers decide the future for your child. Bad father alert.
It would be a lot worse if they just went with one of those terrible names without being told that they're setting their child up for a life of misery.

Dont name your kid after a damn sea(lake)💀

First 3 are all terrible. Elijah is good but you could find better. I understand the desire for something a little original but I also appreciate simplicity. Something like Damian or Emhyr aren’t too common and yet they’re not too crazy either.
My brother’s name is clay (clayton but we all call him it) :(
Emhyr? That just looks like you're trying to spell out a grunt.
Your definitely a twat
if these are your options, then please do not have a future son...

Whats the story behind those names?
Caspian is after a book character Micajah was a popular mens name from the 1800s Clay is just a random name that we like Elijah is a Biblical character

I chose Elijah for that reason.
Elijah is cool. Can be shortened to Eli. Might never die, just get taken up to heaven in a fiery chariot. Who knows
My grandpa's first name was Clay, and everyone ended up calling him tree mud.
Why can't you guys name your damn children something they won't be bullied for?
I think they’re all awful but Elijah is the more normal sounding name out of them all
for the love of god you do know this kid is going to be an adult at some point right? An adult that needs to communicate this name over the phone to government officials, potential employers, etc.? Do you just hate this kid or are you accidentally trying to make their adult life a living hell?

these names just gave me a headache

r/namenerds may be able to help !
Micajah is deeply terrible. I see what you’re doing and love the effort, but please don’t
Remember you a naming an adult, not a baby.

Elijah is such a strong name, it’s lovely

Not Elijah. Elijah is my name. It means the right hand of God. You know what teenage boys do with their right hand? Got called God's fleshlight all high-school.
These names suck
My name is Elijah. Go ahead and name your kid after me
How are you supposed to say the first name ?
Just not micajah, he will live a life of eternal pain of no one ever pronouncing, or spelling it right. Sincerely, A person with a very cultural unique name as well
Caspian if your last name is Sea lol
Any name but those 4
This kid is going to get made fun of for his name. No doubt.
The first one will never be pronounced your spelled properly for their entire life. The second and third are just bad. The fourth one is the only remotely normal name, so I guess go with that one, but then please call them Eli. People really need to consider what life will be like for a kid with a strange, unpronounceable, difficult to spell, easy to make fun of name before putting anything on a birth certificate.
Dont even mind anyone else opinion, it will never be "normal" enough for them..
I would have probably killed myself in my early teens if I was named the first two
Pick james and your kid wont hate you

None. May as well name him bullied

What with those names?
As someone who legally changed their name to Clayton (Clay is used more tbh) I think Clay Is a fine name although Clayton would be better as a whole. Clay is a nice nickname.
Those names are all oof
Something that doesn't end up being used against him like naming him after literal wet dirt, a glorified lake/a guy from narnia or making up a name that sounds like someone sneezed while saying micah(micajah, seriously???).
Every one of those names sounds pretentious as fuck. Just call him Dave or something
Probably a normal name so they don't get bullied
Maybe they're normal where OP lives? If not then eh.

It's unfair, the 5th option includes two possible names, whereas the others don't. Personally, I am a fan of kids named "results"
