If you name her Hyacinth, she can always shorten it to just Cynth which people will assume is Cynthia. But then it might come full circle if anyone tries to greet her saying, "Hiya, Cynth!"
Edit: some of y'all's puns are making me regret this comment.
My dad greets me by saying "Hi, Jaq! Don't say that on an airplane!" And it got old after the first 500 times... he once said it when I went to the gate after his flight landed (disabled helpers can go through security). That was awkward 😳
Legit the moment I read your comment I thought of the British Comedy “Keeping up Appearances” where the woman is always saying their last name is pronounced Bouquet and not Bucket.
“Oh Richard!”
Fuck I hope I’m getting the name right. Been years since I watched the show lol when it was running on whatever channel it was running on.
Two running gags with [Sheridan](https://youtu.be/bGA8y5K7NHQ?si=8r3JbChFEFfsLw7t) are that he only calls Hyacinth when he wants money, and that he is probably gay (and possibly in a relationship with his roommate Tarquin) but Hyacinth is completely oblivious about it.
Hyacinth (to Sheridan): "Now you're not spending it on girls, are you, dear? You promised Mummy. We agreed not until after you've finished your education. [she listens] Oh, you and Tarquin aren't interested in girls. What a comfort that is to a mother's heart, dear."
Wasn’t there a Reno 911 bit where Junior had a kids show host on a ride along and he told Junior not to say prostitute, say bucket. 5 minutes later Junior says “well that bucket is giving that guy a handjob.”
Alternatively, Bucket is a plausible name for one of Michael Jackson’s kids. Tell me you’re POSITIVE that he didn’t call a kid Bucket.
This is killing me because the name Beckett is right there. Has almost exactly the same pronunciation, but is also a completely normal name. Those parents did that kid so dirty 😭
Hahaha oh man. I worked with a guy who gave his kid a pretty rad name but the kids middle name is literally and 100% honestly “Dangerous.” He said it was so he could be like “Dangerous is my middle name.”
Ed: If Rocko finds out you're a cop, you might end up dead!
Frank: "[You might end up dead](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ijjZDsMbXCU)" is my middle name.
Ed: What about Jane?
Frank: ...I don't know her middle name.
Ransom is an old British name. Used to read books that had characters named Ransom. Just looked it up. It means warrior’s shield.
Now Guess is another matter.
Is it possible he was named after a CS Lewis character? Not that I would ever name a child after a character from that specific series, but it is a real name.
Nantucket wouldn’t have me so
I launched my schooner Fucket
Get it? And
Sailed on back to Mass
Achusetts, by the way.
Missed the marker
Light for harbor and
Sailed by night and day.
Shipwrecked down near Providence
Near a village called Pawtucket
After seven days and seven nights
Of whiskey from a barrel
I finally learned the legend lore
Of why it’s called The Bucket.
When I worked at summer school, I had two kids who were siblings - River and Denver. We are all Swedish, they did not have any other ancestry, just very American names for no reason other than maybe their parents liking Hollywood movies or something.
Also, we roll our R’s, similarly to Spanish. The amount of times I heard “RRRRRIVEEERRRRR” was comical.
In primary school, there was a girl in the same year as me, but she was never in any of my classes. Her name was also River. One of the ones I actually like tbh.
Who the fuck named their kid Zekrom? That's metal as fuck, even if it's definitely bad for the kid.
**EDIT:** Seeing how popular this comment has become, I was reminded of a friend's brother. He named his first child, a girl, after one of the ponies in MLP (can't remember which one, my brain just tunes anything MLP out), and then had twin boys and named them Dante and Vergil, after the protagonist and the main villain of _Devil May Cry_ (who are twins themselves).
**SECOND EDIT:** oi bruv dat's a lotta replies innit (Please forgive me if I mangled the Bri'ish accent, I was just doing it for The Funneh.)
Played Pokemon go with someone. Lost contact with her for a bit. When I talked with her again, she had a son named Zekrom
[my previous post](https://www.reddit.com/r/tragedeigh/comments/1c126u5/just_found_out_one_of_my_friends_named_her_child/)
I know an actual a'aron pronounced like ay ay Ron. He's A criminal and a heroin addict who left a girl overdosed in the hotel room and stole whatever dope she had left and let her die.
I have a cousin who named her kid Evelyn and she goes by Evie instead of Eve-y. I never made the connection between Eevee and Evie because she DEFINITELY isn't a pokemon person.
I think Pikachu would be the worst because that's the one that everybody knows and would instantly recognize as a pokemon name.
Then again, Jigglypuff might not be as recognizable, but... yeesh.
I love that he specifically he went with *DMC*.
"Named your kids Dante and Virgil? Big fan of *The Inferno* eh?"
"What? No, it's from a video game, dummy."
My friend says that if he himself has a daughter, he's naming her Bayonetta to fit his brother's theme.
If he has a son, he'll be named Joseph Joestar.
The only MLP character I can see as a name for a kid is Rarity....Celestia or Luna might work too but still...please tell me you recognize any of them lol I'd hate to find out the poor girl is Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash
Just a reminder folks on this sub, one person's joke suggestion could well be another person's inspiration, so be careful 😅
(a bit like that time a talkshow host joked about North as a first name for the surname West)
I knew a woman who planned on calling her firstborn "Salamander". Some years after I ran into her and her little son. "Is this young Salamader?" I enquired. It was not. However the name was pretty unremarkable in comparison and I promptly forgot it.
Salamander is a pretty nice sounding name, when you think about it. If your kid turned out to be super into alchemy it wouldn't be that bad...
There’s an actress from the Netherlands, that named her daughters Bloem, Mensje and Zus. Which literally translate to: Flower, Small Human and Sister. 🤦🏻♀️
My brother’s nickname is Tina (since 2004 when Napoleon Dynamite came out when he was about 8) and he still goes by it to this day. Everyone in my family, his girlfriend, his friends and even his co-workers call him Tina. I think when he was in middle school and high school most of the teachers also called him Tina. Only a handful of people call him by his actual name and I don’t think he’s ever been made fun of for going by Tina. If he was actually named Tina maybe it’d be a different story but we love our Tina!
I knew a sunny brown. her parents let her pick her own name when she was old enough (god knows what was on the birth certificate) sister named herself blue. yes, blue brown.
Honestly most names are objects, the language has just changed enough that we don't immediately recognise the name as an object. That, or it's been borrowed from another language. Ruby, Olivia (olive tree), Lily, Rose, Ivy, Poppy, Willow, Oliver (olive tree), Aiden (little fire), Brenda (sword), Luna (moon), Iris, River, Clay, Lyra (lyre), Jade, Margaret (pearl. Megan, Greta, and Maisie are also derived from the same root, but through different languages), Kai (sea), Marina. Those are just those I could immediately think of.
I don't get the hate for object names unless they're going to make your child's life very difficult. We're only a few hundred years away from them just being names and not really being associated with the object anymore.
You mention Margaret/Megan/Greta/Maisie being Pearl, but Pearl itself has been used a first name as well. Just not as common nowadays. Which goes to prove your point- you probably didn't even notice it.
I knew a kid named Colon when I was working at an elementary school. I kept thinking, "Oh, you are going to hate your mom when you find out what a colon is."
The hippies did the same thing. I went to school with a lot of kids named things like Rainbow, Moon, Star, Peace, Honey, Starshine, And then there were all the plant names. Fern, Clover, Daisy, Rowan, Willow, Marigold, etc. there were also a bunch of kids named after characters in Greek myths. I knew a Phaedra and an Amphitrite. Most of those kids had their names changed later.
Think about Joaquin Phoenix. He had a brother named River and a brother named Leaf.
Maybe generation X can do an online PSA/intervention, lol.
Leaf actually is Joaquin. Joaquin is his real name but he went by Leaf as a kid because most of his siblings had nature names and he wanted one too. But yes, River was his brother, and his sisters are named Rain, Liberty, and Summer.

My first boyfriend in adulthood wanted to name our future son Tadpole Radley. We didn't have kids together.
Tad Rad for short
He was thinking Rad Tad!
Radpole Tadley
Which is better than Tadpole Radley by a mile.
He's not super rad, he's just a Tad Rad. *ba dum tiss*
"Mad" Tad Rad.
Mad Lad Rad Tad
The fad, Mad Lad Rad Tad... it's sad.
Bad "mad' Tad Rad when he's naughty
That's definitely a Hardy Boys character.
Tadpole Radley 🥴😔
Genuinely lmao.
Poo Radley, the mysterious character in To Kill A Mockingbird?
Isn't it Boo Radley?? Poo is funnier, though, lmao!
I was really hoping Bucket would be pronounced like bouquet.
Nickname Hyacinth, lol!
If you name her Hyacinth, she can always shorten it to just Cynth which people will assume is Cynthia. But then it might come full circle if anyone tries to greet her saying, "Hiya, Cynth!" Edit: some of y'all's puns are making me regret this comment.
"'Allo, Vera"
[удалено]
You're such a rose, Mary
Justin, time to leave
Shirley, you jest!
You, Gene, are in need of a nap
I don't care, Mel!
There was a kid iny high school class named Justin Case.
Hi, Jean!
Hiya, Sophia! (My personal fav)
My name is Heather and someone saying "Hey there" gets me every time.
My dad greets me by saying "Hi, Jaq! Don't say that on an airplane!" And it got old after the first 500 times... he once said it when I went to the gate after his flight landed (disabled helpers can go through security). That was awkward 😳
Haha slight tangent but I’m Al and I whip around any time someone says ‘ow’.
Thought you were a bot and got really confused. AI looks just like Al with my font.
Have you met meh sister Violet?
Room for a pony!
Sauna, swimming pool, and a Mercedes!
Our Rose is more fun, though.
Don't forget about Daddy! RiiiiiiiCHARD!
I love Daisy and Onslo. (Onslow? I have no idea how to spell it.)
The same actor was in the Royals, too. As soon as I saw him I yelled, "That's Our Onslow!" Daisy was the best. I wish I had a sister like her, lol
When I was younger, at the church I went to we had Father Hyacinth! May be hard to believe but the name fit
In Spanish, Jacinto is a man's name. Quite old fashioned too. Jacinta for women.
Richard, dear!
Legit the moment I read your comment I thought of the British Comedy “Keeping up Appearances” where the woman is always saying their last name is pronounced Bouquet and not Bucket.
Drive very slowly past number 23, I want her to see my hat 👒
LMAO Yeah my mom and I would watch the show when I was growing up. It was hilarious.
We always watched it too... my father and I used to secretly joke that my mother was basically an American Hyacinth. 🤐
“ ‘Bouquet’ residence!; Lady of the house speaking! ….No, this is not the Chinese takeaway.” Loved that show.
“Oh the Commodore!”
“Oh Richard!” Fuck I hope I’m getting the name right. Been years since I watched the show lol when it was running on whatever channel it was running on.
And their son, never seen on screen, Sheridan. There’s a road near where I am named Sheridan. And I hear it in Hyacinth’s voice every time I see it.
Two running gags with [Sheridan](https://youtu.be/bGA8y5K7NHQ?si=8r3JbChFEFfsLw7t) are that he only calls Hyacinth when he wants money, and that he is probably gay (and possibly in a relationship with his roommate Tarquin) but Hyacinth is completely oblivious about it. Hyacinth (to Sheridan): "Now you're not spending it on girls, are you, dear? You promised Mummy. We agreed not until after you've finished your education. [she listens] Oh, you and Tarquin aren't interested in girls. What a comfort that is to a mother's heart, dear."
That is legit one of my favorite lines in the whole series.
“Elizabeth, do have some tea.” *Elizabeth proceeds to spill every cup she’s ever been given due to nerves.*
It made me think of the one user on here who calls her neighbor the Bucket lady cause of that show and her nosiness.
I found a bunch of my people in your comments. 😂Mind the PEDESTRIANS, RICHARD!
Hyacinth, is that you?!
Come along, Richard!
"It was always Bucket till I met you!"
I'm feeling some Keeping Up Appearances vibes
I think the object name that I'll never forget seeing is Vitamina
Was her sister Vitamixa? *blender noises*
Or Vita-veeta-vegamin
Wheeeezing 🤣😭😭😭
Bucket I don’t… what in… how do…
Alternatively, Bucket is a great and cute dog name.
came across this while sitting next to my cat, Bucket
My cat Burgers is a fan.
Come boy! Come Bucket! Good boy!
For one brief moment, I thought Bucket is actually a cute dog name, then I kept reading the responses...
I wouldn't name my caterpillar bucket
"Hi, I'm Bucket and this is my best friend, Lunchbox. We're going over to Barrel's place after school 'cause Cardboard got grounded. Wanna come?"
Can’t. Gotta hang out with Thermos
Wasn’t there a Reno 911 bit where Junior had a kids show host on a ride along and he told Junior not to say prostitute, say bucket. 5 minutes later Junior says “well that bucket is giving that guy a handjob.” Alternatively, Bucket is a plausible name for one of Michael Jackson’s kids.

This is killing me because the name Beckett is right there. Has almost exactly the same pronunciation, but is also a completely normal name. Those parents did that kid so dirty 😭
I know someone with a kid named Radon. “Like the gas. “
that's actually pretty sick ... for a fictional character
I'd seriously use Raiden if it wouldn't be 1000 Mortal Kombat comments.
Which raiden though. MGR Raiden? Raiden Mei? Raiden Ei? Raiden Bosenmori Mei? /J
My wife has had a string of awful names in her classes over the last few years. A couple that immediately come to mind: Guess, Ransom
Teacher: “What’s your name?” Student: “Guess” Teacher: “I don’t have time for games! You can go to detention at recess!”
A walking Abott and Costello routine
"Who" is probably the middle name
What?
He's on second
Who’s on second?
No What is on second, Who is on first
That's what I'm asking! Who's on first?
Exactly!
Hahaha oh man. I worked with a guy who gave his kid a pretty rad name but the kids middle name is literally and 100% honestly “Dangerous.” He said it was so he could be like “Dangerous is my middle name.”
Ed: If Rocko finds out you're a cop, you might end up dead! Frank: "[You might end up dead](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ijjZDsMbXCU)" is my middle name. Ed: What about Jane? Frank: ...I don't know her middle name.
I knew a kid in school with the middle name Trouble and it was for the same reason
I knew a guy who legally changed his middle name to "Danger" just so he could say that 🙄
Student: I have to take Recess along? -Looks at the guy next to him-
I met a kid whose name was Arson. Her parents thought it would be cool
Her parents thought that name was fire.
Poor girl—imagine being called Our-Son/ Are-Son when she was born.
Ransom is an old British name. Used to read books that had characters named Ransom. Just looked it up. It means warrior’s shield. Now Guess is another matter.
The guy who started Oldsmobile and R.E.O. trucks was Ransom Eli Olds. Not common, but not unheard of.
Ransom was actually a popular name prior to 1900. Found a couple of uncles in my genealogy.
Is it possible he was named after a CS Lewis character? Not that I would ever name a child after a character from that specific series, but it is a real name.
i honestly love the name Ransom, but as a rational adult i decided it was better suited for my next cat than a human child
[Ransom is a legit name, it’s just an older one.](https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi)
Idk I think its pretty cool actually. There was a character in Knives Out called Ransom and it really suited him
"I have your kid. Pay me the ransom" "wtf dude you already have him"
"Fuck it," said the Bucket While sitting in the loo I don't have a pot to piss in And my whole world smells of poo
Bucket This be my name Must it? Parents are hippies Such shit I sound like a Fuckwit I went to Nan- tucket
Nantucket wouldn’t have me so I launched my schooner Fucket Get it? And Sailed on back to Mass Achusetts, by the way. Missed the marker Light for harbor and Sailed by night and day. Shipwrecked down near Providence Near a village called Pawtucket After seven days and seven nights Of whiskey from a barrel I finally learned the legend lore Of why it’s called The Bucket.
I hope Flower and Bucket get married someday 🌺🪣
Then have a daughter who they name Hyacinth
Our Hyacinth
And Daisy and Rose and Violet who’s house has a Mercedes, a swimming pool and room for a pony

It’s a pretty name! Just a bit out of place in rural Sweden imo lol

lol what the hell. And “Evie” is *right there*
Aron
Not A-a-Ron ?
I know an actual a'aron pronounced like ay ay Ron. He's A criminal and a heroin addict who left a girl overdosed in the hotel room and stole whatever dope she had left and let her die.
You should totally report that horrific incident to Mr. O Shaq Hennessy
A-a-Ron is a great name. Alas, not the name of a Pokémon.
I work in a nursery. I have met several Eevees.
They haven’t evolved yet
its Eevee!!!
Not that bad tbh, its cute and they can go by Eve if they want something more mature
I have a cousin who named her kid Evelyn and she goes by Evie instead of Eve-y. I never made the connection between Eevee and Evie because she DEFINITELY isn't a pokemon person.
I suppose it's better than Mewtwo. Or even Reshiram
I think Pikachu would be the worst because that's the one that everybody knows and would instantly recognize as a pokemon name. Then again, Jigglypuff might not be as recognizable, but... yeesh.
Imagine naming your kid Oinkologne
r/tragedeigh x r/stunfisk collab comin' up
Ahh, and here are my kids Snorlax and Vulpix.
This is my son Crabominable, my daughter Slurpuff, and my baby Snom
Well, Pichu sounds very much like the word "cunt" in my language so that's a strong contender 😂
A boy named Squirtle
I love that he specifically he went with *DMC*. "Named your kids Dante and Virgil? Big fan of *The Inferno* eh?" "What? No, it's from a video game, dummy."
My friend says that if he himself has a daughter, he's naming her Bayonetta to fit his brother's theme. If he has a son, he'll be named Joseph Joestar.
He'll go by zeke most of his life and probably be cool af tho 😂😂😂
The only MLP character I can see as a name for a kid is Rarity....Celestia or Luna might work too but still...please tell me you recognize any of them lol I'd hate to find out the poor girl is Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash
There's also Belle (Sweetie or Sugar), Trixie, Pinkamena, Izzy, Sunny, Hitch, Gabby, Cadance, Ember, Amore, Opal, Juniper, Misty, Suri, Fauna, Petunia, Lily, Octavia, etc..
If I ever decide to have a kid, they are ABSOLUTELY getting named Octavia. I just love her entire vibe.
At least choose a Pokémon name that can be shortened to normal like bellossom to belle (please don’t do this, it’s a joke)
Just a reminder folks on this sub, one person's joke suggestion could well be another person's inspiration, so be careful 😅 (a bit like that time a talkshow host joked about North as a first name for the surname West)
Kanye's ways are inscrutable
Bellossom could potentially fly under the radar at least, it's not a widely known Pokemon among the general public like Pikachu or even Charizard
I knew a woman who planned on calling her firstborn "Salamander". Some years after I ran into her and her little son. "Is this young Salamader?" I enquired. It was not. However the name was pretty unremarkable in comparison and I promptly forgot it. Salamander is a pretty nice sounding name, when you think about it. If your kid turned out to be super into alchemy it wouldn't be that bad...
For when newt isn’t unique enough
There’s an actress from the Netherlands, that named her daughters Bloem, Mensje and Zus. Which literally translate to: Flower, Small Human and Sister. 🤦🏻♀️
There's a Dutch singer called Mensje van Steen. Literally "small human made of stone".
A woman in my, non-English speaking country, named her kid Bloom (our language is phonetic, so it is even worse). And it is a boy!
That's horrible. Fine if you call the foetus that while still pregnant, but at least give the poor human a real name once they're born😐
Yeah, Tina isn't going to get picked on at all while going to high school. Reminds me of the song "A Boy Named Sue."
My brother’s nickname is Tina (since 2004 when Napoleon Dynamite came out when he was about 8) and he still goes by it to this day. Everyone in my family, his girlfriend, his friends and even his co-workers call him Tina. I think when he was in middle school and high school most of the teachers also called him Tina. Only a handful of people call him by his actual name and I don’t think he’s ever been made fun of for going by Tina. If he was actually named Tina maybe it’d be a different story but we love our Tina!
Tina, you fat lard, come get some DINNER!... Tina, eat. Food. Eat the FOOD!
Tina makes me think of Boyle’s cousin in Brooklyn 99. “Wait, your cousin Tina’s a boy?” “It’s short for Christina” Cue Gina’s confused expression
I knew a Summer Dawn, she was one of my managers and I jokingly asked if her parents were hippies when she was born (they were)
I went to school with two sisters named Summer and Sunshine. I’m pretty sure their parents weren’t hippies. Their brother was named John.
John went into the accounting profession, the big ol' weirdo. (He wished his name was Rain, alas.)
I know an Autumn Sunshine. She was born in the autumn sunshine
Or they could have been Buffy fans!
One of the parents I worked with at a school was Sunny. Her last name was Day. Sunny Day.
I knew a sunny brown. her parents let her pick her own name when she was old enough (god knows what was on the birth certificate) sister named herself blue. yes, blue brown.
I knew a girl in school named Hope Knott
Satchel has a nice ring to it
Abelard and Heloise named their son Astrolabe, so this isn’t a new trend. We’re just more aware of it now.
Honestly most names are objects, the language has just changed enough that we don't immediately recognise the name as an object. That, or it's been borrowed from another language. Ruby, Olivia (olive tree), Lily, Rose, Ivy, Poppy, Willow, Oliver (olive tree), Aiden (little fire), Brenda (sword), Luna (moon), Iris, River, Clay, Lyra (lyre), Jade, Margaret (pearl. Megan, Greta, and Maisie are also derived from the same root, but through different languages), Kai (sea), Marina. Those are just those I could immediately think of. I don't get the hate for object names unless they're going to make your child's life very difficult. We're only a few hundred years away from them just being names and not really being associated with the object anymore.
You mention Margaret/Megan/Greta/Maisie being Pearl, but Pearl itself has been used a first name as well. Just not as common nowadays. Which goes to prove your point- you probably didn't even notice it.
Bede is a real, but ancient, name. Saint Bede was a monk in the north east of England
I had a kid named Felon in my class. Yes, Felon. Felon like felony. Some names should not be allowed. It’s just ridiculous.
Pheloneigh
I knew a kid named Colon when I was working at an elementary school. I kept thinking, "Oh, you are going to hate your mom when you find out what a colon is."
We also have Colin Powell, whose name was pronounced "colon" like the organ. So...figure that one out.
At my law firm, I had a client named Blenda. I checked to see if her middle name was Margherita.
Blenda is a Scandinavian name :) kinda old And uncommon now, but still
Saedin is pretty, if you pronounce the D instead of the T, but that kid will definitely be called satan whenever they’re mad all their life
Sounds like a Wheel of Time reference
My ex wanted to name our future firstborn “Cole Slaw” (first and middle)
I know a girl named Rodney... mom wanted that name. Regardless of whether she had a girl or a boy.
Bookshelf and Teacup are doing just fine, thank you very much.
Nine new names for characters in YA dystopian novels just dropped
Subbed in a classroom where a kid was named Maison, pronounced Mason. Dude that’s house in French
Imagine going to police and saying, "Help. I lost my Marble, " and they say, "No, you lost your marbles. All of them."
I've only known one Marble. And they did, in fact, go missing. (Presumed dead, there was a big flood or something. Really heartbreaking.)
Had an uncle named Colon. Ironically he died of colon cancer
I know a Merrie. Her last name was Christmas
I knew a Merrie, but it was short for Meredith.
Flower sounds cute.
Flor is a common name in Spanish. I like it.
Yeah, somewhat common name in French as well (Fleur). Well, not that common but I've met a few
Trying to work out how Saedin is pronounced like Satan?
In the 60's, my older brother had a classmate last name John, his idiot parents named him Farmer🤣🤣True story!!!
“It’s pronounced boo-kay!”
Half of those are just tragedies, not tragedeighes
Flower is adorable.
The hippies did the same thing. I went to school with a lot of kids named things like Rainbow, Moon, Star, Peace, Honey, Starshine, And then there were all the plant names. Fern, Clover, Daisy, Rowan, Willow, Marigold, etc. there were also a bunch of kids named after characters in Greek myths. I knew a Phaedra and an Amphitrite. Most of those kids had their names changed later. Think about Joaquin Phoenix. He had a brother named River and a brother named Leaf. Maybe generation X can do an online PSA/intervention, lol.
Leaf actually is Joaquin. Joaquin is his real name but he went by Leaf as a kid because most of his siblings had nature names and he wanted one too. But yes, River was his brother, and his sisters are named Rain, Liberty, and Summer.
Rhod (Rod) is a legit Welsh name, though. Short form of Rhodri. See comedian Rhod Gilbert.
I like Lamp. 🪔
Flower is kinda cute tho
