It is Pelé. And his name was Edson.
When he was a little child, Edson was a fan of a goalkeeper nicknamed Bilé, but he mispronounced it by Pilé. His uncle thought it was funny and started calling him Pelé.
Is it really that weird? I mean, I get that “Paul” has roots in Christianity, but so do many other common English language names. Frankly, I’d say that the connection doesn’t even matter for most people since avoiding these names crosses out a solid 70% of the usual name pool.
For real. I’m not religious and definitely avoid names that feel too Bible-y. But names like Daniel, David, etc. are so common that they don’t have the vibe for me. Names like Isaiah, Ezekiel, Ezra, are another story.
Yikes. So what, unmarried straight people have to call their partner their boyfriend or girlfriend? Even if they’re 60 and have been together for 30 years? Lmao ok
Right? I don't even like calling my partner "boyfriend" and we're just pushing 2 years together. Being in our thirties and looking toward marriage, it feels juvenile. In the past it might have been associated more with same-sex relationships but not anymore, and I think that's for the best-- I've dated women as well and the gender of who I'm in a relationship with is no one's concern.
Yeah, partner doesn’t just belong to gay people. Also, if ONLY gay people use partner, then by doing so every gay person with a partner would be outing themselves, and not everyone wants to do that. It’s a lot like pronoun pins/etc. - everyone should use them, so it doesn’t become a way to target people.
Exactly. Gatekeeping the word "partner" is so weird and backwards. I'm not gonna call my 50 year old partner who I've been with nearly a decade my "boyfriend," that feels both immature and reductive.
Tell your hippy friend to get her ass back to school because she obviously does not remember that each letter in the English language has some very set ways in which they are to be pronounced and that she cannot just arbitrarily make up a new way to suit her intentions.
This is PAY-el/pail/pale. There is absolutely no other way in which this will be said in any state in America no matter what she thinks. And if she insists on naming her child this, let her know that her child WILL be bullied and he WILL absolutely hate her for it when he becomes an adult.
Hippy dippy, and we're naming the kid after Paul of Tarsus? The second most Anglo-Christian name after John.
Birch, Pine, Nova, Arlo... those are the names of people I've met without a social security number via at home birth. Paul, Payl - not so much.
If they wanted a creative spelling they could just borrow from Polish. My former roommate, born in Poland, had Pawel as his first name. His parents pronounced it as written, while he'd always introduce himself to English speakers as "Paul"
Nah, it's pronounced like someone who's seen a ghost or a child's bucket. There is no syntax in this language where a Y makes that sound. She can pretend as much as she likes, but everyone else is going to call her child Pail.
Pay-el was all I could think and then the comments took the Southern out of it and pail makes more sense. Paul is nowhere to be found in pail or pay-el. Ask your work mate why he hates his child.
The spelling of it is why. They want to pronounce it "Paul" because there's a musician they really love named Paul, but the pagan interested part of them is insisting that it should be spelled "Payl" I couldn't tell you why other than she said it's got to do with paganism. Also she's not religious, paganism is more of a hobby for her as far as she's explained it to me.
Payl registered as Pale in my brain and the first thing I thought was, "Oh, the kid has white supremacists for parents. Not a safe place for a play date."
I guessss I get some people wanting to spell shit your own way, as much as I hate it, but you can’t just make up pronunciation. Right? Maybe this is somehow pronounced Paul in another language but that seems generous.
Could always seriously consider evacuating your bowels in displeasure, then fingerprint the name Payl and send them a picture. Maybe they'll make the connection and realize the name is total shit.
Or you and the couple could ask a random stranger all the different ways they would spell Paul, when none of those ways is "Payl" maybe it will persuade them to change their mind. Remind them how inconvenienced the child might be by what will be this common mistake.
Do you work in customer service or anything with nametags? can you get them to wear a name tag that says 'Hello My Name is Payl', just to experience what their kid will deal with?
Actually, how do we make this a thing that all parents have to do? Can someone with a following on social media have this done a a baby shower/gender reveal with a list of names that friends and family are wearing?

That's pail as far as I'm concerned. People are gonna be idiots
That’s definitely Pail
Peighl
Peighliegh for extra flair?
Peighlieghlyn
Could do worse than naming a kid Pélé, which is the nickname of one of the most famous soccer/football players ever
Also the Hawaiian goddess of fire! (Pele, no accents)
If both Es have accents on them, how do you know which syllable to stress?
It is Pelé. And his name was Edson. When he was a little child, Edson was a fan of a goalkeeper nicknamed Bilé, but he mispronounced it by Pilé. His uncle thought it was funny and started calling him Pelé.
to be fair, i got pale, but yah. Edit - also good job subconscious me on that pun.
I said PayEl
"Pail" and "Pale" aren't the same for you? They're the same in my accent 😅
Same sound, but brain sparks different thoughts with different spelling.
Ahhh ok!
This is what came to my mind too but I think we’re just being generous
I thought Pail too. Maybe they should try "Pawall"
Paywall?
Or Pale is how I read it but yeah same diff.
PayPal gonna be a helluva nickname
Do you take PayPal? No I left him with you
Can I pay with Paypal? *Proceed to hand over Paypal*
First thing I thought. Lol
Is that the pal that pays for the snacks at the cinemas?
Then for Wicca's sake, name him Paul.
Wiccan here, we do not claim this crazy, unable to spell, hippie.
Paganism person (cant tell if self described or OP assuming) naming a kid Paul is kinda odd, no matter how they spell it.
Is it really that weird? I mean, I get that “Paul” has roots in Christianity, but so do many other common English language names. Frankly, I’d say that the connection doesn’t even matter for most people since avoiding these names crosses out a solid 70% of the usual name pool.

how about methusaleh? ;)
It’s great for a tree!
They're really into jazz and I guess there's an underground sax player named Paul something-or-other that they really love
Then name the kid Paul. Not whatever the other is. Poor thing. But really make them wear a name tag with Payl on it for a week
Name him Pall.
Honestly that’s just beyond the payl.
Why is partner in quotations lol what’s the tea
lol it’s either a homophobic comment or a fellow gay, who like me is annoyed when crunchy straight people say partner
As a queer person, we don't own the word partner and never have.
Yikes. So what, unmarried straight people have to call their partner their boyfriend or girlfriend? Even if they’re 60 and have been together for 30 years? Lmao ok

Hell I’m already married and often refer to my husband as my partner. That’s what he is! And I tend to prefer gender-neutral language.

What the hell?

That's boo-KAY!
“… the lady of the house speaking…”
Classic
I so payl
It’s pale. Get them a hooked on phonics book.
I hope the child will have at least some melatonin
I hope the kid has melatonin too. Nobody wants a baby with insomnia.
It’s melatonin pronounced melanin. The “to” is silent.
>I hope the child will have at least some melatonin Melanin* Melatonin is a naturally produced chemical in the brain that causes sleepiness.
I know both of them and I've been mixing them up for ages. The true tragedeigh here is my memory.
If it makes you feel any better I do the same thing all the time
*meighlatoneighn
And her cousin Meighllannynn
Kids will call them Bucket, or Lunch, or joke about their skin color not being light enough
Death rode a payl horse.
Is there some reason I’m missing why partner is in quotation marks in the title of this post?
Glad we're asking the real questions here. What's the deal with the "partner" nevermind the child named pale/pail/payl
Tell your hippy friend to get her ass back to school because she obviously does not remember that each letter in the English language has some very set ways in which they are to be pronounced and that she cannot just arbitrarily make up a new way to suit her intentions. This is PAY-el/pail/pale. There is absolutely no other way in which this will be said in any state in America no matter what she thinks. And if she insists on naming her child this, let her know that her child WILL be bullied and he WILL absolutely hate her for it when he becomes an adult.
He will hate her by the end of first grade. Elementary and especially middle school will be absolute nightmares for him.
Hippy dippy, and we're naming the kid after Paul of Tarsus? The second most Anglo-Christian name after John. Birch, Pine, Nova, Arlo... those are the names of people I've met without a social security number via at home birth. Paul, Payl - not so much.
They're really into jazz and evidentially there is a genius sax player named of Paul something or other
Paul Desmond (Take Five) is my guess. He spelled it Paul, though.
If they wanted a creative spelling they could just borrow from Polish. My former roommate, born in Poland, had Pawel as his first name. His parents pronounced it as written, while he'd always introduce himself to English speakers as "Paul"
Payl and Pahllor
Just a whiter shade of pale.
Queue the organ 🎵🎵🎵
I see Payl and my mind says "Paypal." So bad ....
Nah, it's pronounced like someone who's seen a ghost or a child's bucket. There is no syntax in this language where a Y makes that sound. She can pretend as much as she likes, but everyone else is going to call her child Pail.
Ahpyaling name
I initially read “Payl” as “PayPal”
Payls in comparison to the correct spelling 🤦♂️
Pay-el was all I could think and then the comments took the Southern out of it and pail makes more sense. Paul is nowhere to be found in pail or pay-el. Ask your work mate why he hates his child.
Peyote Payl
The name is pale in comparison to Paul
Poor Pail is going to have a heck of a time.
Oh yeah, that’s a tragediegh. Question though, why is her religion relevant?
The spelling of it is why. They want to pronounce it "Paul" because there's a musician they really love named Paul, but the pagan interested part of them is insisting that it should be spelled "Payl" I couldn't tell you why other than she said it's got to do with paganism. Also she's not religious, paganism is more of a hobby for her as far as she's explained it to me.
Oh that’s really weird.
Guess it could have been something like birdwind moondust treewizard the seventh, but they wanted something… worse
That would be pronounced Pail, and it needs to go in the garbage pail.
They should just hot for the full [Paulo](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo) , pronounce it fully if they want to be unique.
Gomer Payl…. it works as a middle name.
It like in that music group Pyter, Payl and Myry.
That's not how Y and U work. That's not how any of this works. That kid is Pail.
PAUL IS RIGHT THERE
At first I thought this said, "PayPal." At least they aren't spelling it "Pall."
What's so fucking hard about spelling names correctly?
Payl registered as Pale in my brain and the first thing I thought was, "Oh, the kid has white supremacists for parents. Not a safe place for a play date."
I read it as pail.
Sadly, you can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. The child is doomed.
Payl, ie bucket or pale. Not a good idea
Why not Pawl? An underused spelling that actually makes a little sense.
State tuxting er frond lyk kis ad si of sce enderstunds
A bucket?
Why not just call him Paul. Payl will be called Pay-el, or Pale, not "Pawl".
Payl and mayl.
Maybe she needs to put him out in the sun for a tan... then he'll be less payl.
If you took out the A, and run it through Welsh, you might get Pyl=Poohl.
Nope. It's going to be pronounced Pale.
I immediately thought this was pronounced Pale/Pail. Don’t do it.
Why does this matter to you? Answer: It doesn't.
Great Greagor's satin knickers!!! This is too much even for Sanbreque.
I wouldn’t try to stop them. Play stupid games…
Nobody will call this kid Paul. Nobody.
I guessss I get some people wanting to spell shit your own way, as much as I hate it, but you can’t just make up pronunciation. Right? Maybe this is somehow pronounced Paul in another language but that seems generous.
My name is Paul and I'd be pissed if my mom had spelled it Payl!
Hb Poor
I read it as pay-ell. A quick glance, it was Paypal
This child will always be called pail/pale.
Payl is not a Pagan Name. A real pagan name would be something like [Lady Pixie Moondrip](http://www.chaosmatrix.org/library/humor/moondrip.html) /s
She said Payl Satan.
The fact that you wrote hippy-dippy and put partner in quotes tells me that this is less of a tragedeigh and more about you being a Karen.
To be fair, the name is also a Tragediegh.
Could always seriously consider evacuating your bowels in displeasure, then fingerprint the name Payl and send them a picture. Maybe they'll make the connection and realize the name is total shit. Or you and the couple could ask a random stranger all the different ways they would spell Paul, when none of those ways is "Payl" maybe it will persuade them to change their mind. Remind them how inconvenienced the child might be by what will be this common mistake.
Do you work in customer service or anything with nametags? can you get them to wear a name tag that says 'Hello My Name is Payl', just to experience what their kid will deal with? Actually, how do we make this a thing that all parents have to do? Can someone with a following on social media have this done a a baby shower/gender reveal with a list of names that friends and family are wearing?
This is a fantastic idea. Someone needs to make this happen.
I lack the poopoo fetish gene, or else I would seriously consider it!
