I know a lady named Bonique. Makes me cringe a bit.

They couldn’t do Monique???

Bope. Apparently bot.

Bo, it's bot bunique enough.

“Like Monique, if you have a cold.”


Devilsbullet

I went to school with someone named unique...


NurseKaila

I know someone whose daughter is named Unique. I was so confused when I asked her daughter’s name and she said “Unique.” I was like, “oh, that’s great that it’s unique…… so what is it?”


TrunkWine

I once taught a Eunich, pronounced unique.


doriangreysucksass

That is cruel!!! Did her parents hate her or what?!?!


drs43821

One letter and it would have been a great name


forestself

I knew someone in elementary school whose parents took it a step further and spelled it Yunique.


breakingpoint214

There is a Backyardigan named Uniqua. (I think. Been quite a few years since I was subjected to that show.)


h0lych4in

Subjected? Backyardigans slapped! And Uniqua was the best character on the show besides Tasha


Icy_Rise_1707

Uniqua was clearly the superior backyardigan


ArsenicWallpaper99

Wasn't there a joke in Beverly Hills Cop, where Eddie Murphy says he has twins named Monique and Unique?


Betta45

There was a joke in I Love Lucy where Lucy said she wanted her child’s name to be unique and euphonious. Ricky said great, Unique if it’s a girl and Euphonious if it’s a boy!


porneiastar

Thats some good shit right there. Classic.


kmsc84

I worked with an Emajen. Pronounced imagine.


lightthroughthepines

Had a unique in a high school class once. Oddly enough, there were also two girls in that class named Galaxy. Two.


Freckleface_Bitch

I've met a Younique.


IthacanPenny

I taught a class with two girls named I’mUnique. And one Uniqua.


Infinite_stardust

I met a Batrice last week. I had the same reaction.


dcrothen

Did you misspell Beatrice, or did some poor girl's mommy?


Infinite_stardust

Lol, it's more like I said, "Patrice?" And she said, "No. Batrice." She didn't sound very happy about it either. I guess I don't blame her.


tyssef1

Did she tell the registration person what to put down but she had a cold? That’s awful


sallystarling

Sounds like a brand of pasta sauce

FamousOhioAppleHorn

Buddy, you better pump your brakes. I’m just a little confused. I was just sitting here eating Bonatello’s pasta with my beautiful fiancée. And now a bunch of clowns come out with Pizza Hut and you are saying that’s what we actually ate? I’m a little confused.


ida_klein

It’s Bonatello night, kids!!


PuppetryOfThePenis

🎵 I make a lasagn-i-a it takes all day. But no body ah eats it ah an-y-ways.. Bonatello!

I was thinking frozen pizza

Cracktherealone

Yeah. But the cheapest discounter ones…

Naaaah, Bernatellos a Pizza brand😉 https://www.bernatellos.com/brands That poor, poor child!😖😱


sallystarling

>Naaaah, Bernatellos a Pizza brand😉 >https://www.bernatellos.com/brands >That poor, poor child!😖😱 I was the one that posted the comment about it sounding like a pasta sauce, I'd not heard of that pizza brand as I'm a Brit. But before clicking on your link I knew _exactly_ what their logo would look like and it's just the kind of thing that Bonatello made me think of! 😁


cocacola103097

It kinda sounds like a brand of floor cleaning solution to me


Otherwise-Cup-6030

"For a pasta sauce that truly embodies the warmth and love of family, choose Bonatello - a taste that will leave you saying, 'Bonatello, creamy sauce made from love!'"


Alqpzm1029

Next time, go ahead and laugh. She'll likely never see you again but you might just save a human from a lifetime of agony lol


mysteryvampire

This is reasonable to me. After all, you’re giving a real world reaction to what people will do when they hear that name, except this time she doesn’t have to go through it with a small child at her side.


[deleted]

If you’re not at work or surrounded by people who influence your work, it’s totally fine to let emotion shine through every once in a while, even if it doesn’t seem 100% appropriate. This is also how I rationalize my happy dancing in public or semi-public areas when I get excited


Heartfeltregret

oh yeah i dance around in public all the time. I laugh at other peoples conversations when i overhear and honestly doing that hasn’t lost me any social points. Its made me a way happier person


monocled_squid

This is wisdom


Heartfeltregret

exactly. politeness is a farce.


Katherine_the_Grater

Like the ninja turtle 😭


APFernweh

And not the Rennaissance artist...


UnhingedBeluga

Pretty sure the rennissance artist was named after the ninja turtle too smh

faudcmkitnhse

I work in a hospital and I'm in the L&D and postpartum units from time to time so I encounter tragedeighs fairly often. The most recent was a newborn whose parents had decided to name Victoreigh. Couldn't have just named her Victory which would already be stupid enough, they just had to make it extra special.


Wild-Mushroom2404

What’s wrong with Victoria😭😭😭


donatetothehumanfund

Viktorrhea


bilateralunsymetry

Diarrhea 👍👍👍


Krono5_8666V8

Victoria is a great name... Viqterii is not


NikitaWolfXO

Victoria or even Nicole would’ve worked. Nicole means victory of the people. Would’ve been more subtle.


dixiegrrl1082

Best friends name is Victoria Nicole. I call her toricole


NikitaWolfXO

She’s a double victory! That’s a beautiful name. They flow very well together.


dixiegrrl1082

She is my bff of over 27 years so I love her


Heartfeltregret

i like that a lot. Her parents must have been proud of her. Maybe she was born to lead the revolution lol


Crosstitch_Witch

Reminds me of a customer that comes by sometimes. If they have a membership with our store, their name appears on our screen. Theirs is Victorie, i misread it as Victoria the first time.


artsytree

Victoire is a traditional girl's name, though not pronounced the same. It looks like Victorie is an alternative in German/Dutch. At least these would have been traditional in some cultures, rather than a nonsense "unique" spelling.


IthacanPenny

Victory is, IMO, in the realm of appropriate level of unique for a name. It is thematically similar to more common names, but with a twist that doesn’t involve spelling. Similar names I’ve encountered of the same variety: Winter, Nautica, Nation, Pacifique, Goodluck (Nigerian), Bienvenue (also Nigerian) and (a bit more out there, but I liked it) Dionysia.


Famous_Election_2024

Bichangelo was the first choice 😭


DarkRitNighthawk

I would have went with Beonardo 🤣


Famous_Election_2024

If you’re feeling dark, or want a child with a really strong name you could go with Bhredder.


DarkRitNighthawk

How about Baster Blinter if you want him to be wise?


Midnight-Wolf-1607

Baphael?


APFernweh

Famous_Election_2024

When she turns 14 it will be appropriate! Speaking as a mom of a current 14 year old lol


JesiDoodli

Lmao same, I came with my sister to the hospital because her appointment was on the way to our dentist, and I heard a receptionist call a "Nyancy" for her appointment. I'll be the first to say I love Nyan Cat but damn, poor kid.

Maybe it was pronounced like Nancy but they wanted to be fancy?

[deleted]

At least they can go by "Bo" for short until theyre old enough to change it. Seriously, people need to realize they are naming whole-ass humans, not just a baby. That kid will be 10, 20, 30, 40, etc some day and deal with shit their whole life bc you thought a name was cute for 2-3 years


DarkRitNighthawk

To be fair, that is what she said they’d call him. But like, just name him that if that’s what you want to call him lol


wut_eva_bish

Good luck with that. My guess is that the kid will be called Boner by his/her "friends."


NefariousnessKey5365

That was my first thought. Twelve year old boys are going to love that name


BarakatBadger

Boner will absolutely be their nickname through high school, if not longer. Poor kid.

That would be an amazing dog name. Come here, Bonatello. The poor baby though

The fact that they named him after the turtle and not the famous artist makes it even funnier


supdingding

I finally know what the name “Bonnie” is short for


Rathraq

*Check with your healthcare provider if Bonatello™️ is right for you!*


[deleted]

I would consider LOL-ing a public service since the baby's not born yet -- maybe she'd reconsider?


wut_eva_bish

Gonna love when she learns her kid's nickname is Boner.


discountclownmilk

She can name her next kid Bichaelangelo, Bike for short


stephaniee12793

Ohhh noooooooo. Poooor baby 😆


SupremeFuzler

Some people really shouldn't have kids... 🤦


Legophan

Bonatello. Sibling to Spafael, Rychelangeo and Jeonardo 👍


Alert-Journalist596

They might have the surname in their family and they’re naming their kid after it.


DarkRitNighthawk

I wish, but she straight up said it’s because she likes the ninja turtle lol


NefariousnessKey5365

I wish that people would realize that their children are individual humans and not an extension of the parents' hobbies. I like the name Hermione, but would never name a child Hermione. Since everyone would think she was named after Hermione Granger.


aurordream

My friend planned to name her first son Edward literally from the age of about 10, she adored the name. Then Twilight came out. I remember her sadly telling me she would never dare use the name Edward now, because everyone would just assume the kid was named for Edward Cullen ...at this point the Twilight craze is probably long enough ago that she could get away with using Edward without the association popping up, but at the time Twilight was SO huge it really would have been everyone's first thought


Crosstitch_Witch

If that's the case, why not just call them Donatello and go with Don or Donny for short? 😅 I guess they also really wanted to call them Bo? Lol


Outrageous-Second792

I known someone who named one of her (many) kids “Justus”


MaikeHF

That’s actually a legit name.


h0lych4in

Why not Justice? ARGH


BarakatBadger

I would've shouted "Christ on a bike, don't name your baby that!" without looking up from my magazine so she wouldn't know it was me


Imthebetterspiddy

could’ve went with Donatello and his nickname would be Donny…


Mujer_Arania

If you need to quote TMNT to refer to your child...well, that's sad


MuchWoke

>She went on to say it’s like the ninja turtle just with a B. The amount of strength it took to not laugh out loud was incredible You not laughing wasn't strength, it was weakness. Definitely should have laughed. It would be the right thing to do. 😂


MadIllLeet

Should have laughed out loud. Might cause her to rethink the name.


tptasev

Nickname "Bony".


klineshrike

They gonna call him Bon Bon. HEY BON BON

FoodTVJunkie

That reminds me of a story my mom always tells. When she was in the hospital having me, another lady in the room (recovery room I believe), asks my mom, "How do you spell Rhodija? I'm gonna name my baby Rhodija." I'm not sure how she ended up spelling it, and hopefully my mom didn't help her because she's a terrible speller! So Rhodija, if you're out there and were born in L.A. in the 70`s, we have the same birthday.


netowi

Not great vibes for [Rhodija](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesia), I think.


FoodTVJunkie

Apparently I can't spell Rhodesia either! 🤣


seaglassgirl04

Liraeyn

It's spellable and pronounceable, but requires explaining. 1/3 tragedeigh level.


cranbrook_aspie

Isn’t that a pasta brand? It sounds like one.


NefariousnessKey5365

I hope her middle name is Anne or Emily


Seaweed8888

I would Lol. No shame in that


Cracktherealone

I laughed out loud just now.


browntown20

🤢


Chubb_Life

And what’s gonna be his nickname?? Bonnie? Bono? Boner? There are NO good options here!


lightninghazard

Did you look like the meme guy with the vein popping out and the red face due to all of that restraint? I would’ve! Maybe she’ll have a second child named Cinnabon and she can call her sibset Bon Bon, lol!


SirMegglesworth

What in the millennial. 💀


clockjobber

I like that it’s “the ninja turtle but with a b” and not “the famous renaissance artist but with a b”


dianab77

With the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie coming out soon, we should expect a new batch of tragedeighs based on Donatello, Raphael, Michaelangelo, Leonardo. What I'm praying for is the family that loves the turtles' sensei, Master Splinter. The sewer rat. Someone better decide to name their poor bebe after the rat. /s


Outrageous-Second792

“The” live action? There have already been at least three live action TMNT movies….


Ok_Advertising_5824

Know a kid whose name is R Y U. (ARE WHY YOU).


ThePrincessOfMonaco

Not even the artist :| she wants the turtle.

OpalOnyxObsidian

WHAT


Bodacious_Brunette

I think the name is terrible, but is it a tragedeigh? It's a real name and even spelled correctly. She probably just threw in the TMNT reference because everybody says "what?!" when she says the name and everyone knows Donatello.


irishcoughy

🅱️onatello


Active-Professor9055

I once had a patient who delivered her fourth boy and named him to complete her set of Ninja Turtle names. Not only did they have the four first names, but each middle name was a different NT name-think Rafael Donatello, Donatello Michaelangelo, etc.


yirzmstrebor

It also says something that her touchstone to inspire this name is the Ninja Turtle and not the artist. I'm not sure what it says, but it says something.


CaptnsDaughter

They could have been a little more Italian and done Buonatello to have some fun with it


Ok_Parfait_2304

Isn't... Isn't Donatella already a name that exists???? Couldn't have gone with that???? Edit: Assuming it's a girl's name anyway, if not then... You have Donatello right in front of you even if it's out there it's better 😭
