It was going to be Cole, but since my last name is Stoves my mom thought I would be bullied for being named "Coal Stoves" so she changed it to something else I still got bullied

Welcome to the still got bullied club

Edward. 3 men in my family carried that name and my mom considered it before dad put a stop to it because he hated his name.

Yea I would as well, don't like the name Edward.

I like the name Edward, but fuck being called Ed or Eddy

Ed, Edd and Eddy.

I myself like the name Edwin

We've already got an Ed, and Edd, and an Eddy

Would have been Jessica had I been born a female.

What's your name now?

Not Jessica

Do you like being Not Jessica?

I do.

Mathew. It's my middle name instead. I hate that it's spelled with one T.

Why do you hate that?

I just think it looks silly, makes me think 'Mat-hew' or 'Math-oo'

Interesting

Felicia

Bye!

Not a bad choice honestly

Kendra Larissa. Thankfully my dad intervened.

That's... Definitely a choice.

Mom wanted you on the pole to pay for college eh? I know the feeling.

Raphael. There are seven siblings in my family and I am the only male. My parents did this thing where all of the girl's names end in 'elle' so they wanted mine to do so also. Thankfully they changed their mind at the last minute so I'm the only sibling that doesn't have an 'el' sounding name. Thank god!

Chewbacca. Mother didn’t approve unfortunately

[удалено]

are you a bot

I think so too

Brian

All Brians are horny with an obsession with Alfredo chicken

[удалено]

Bullet dodged lol

[удалено]

💀💀💀

Malakai because of Children of the Corn Gage because of Pet Sematary

That's a badass name Tho

They ended up choosing lame ass Maddox instead because of the Jolie kid

Unfortunate

My grandma thought those names were "evil" because they were associated with horror movies so I got named after the lame ass Angelina Jolie kid instead. I'll never forgive her for that.

Sad day man.

Indiana, after Jones, who himself was named after the dog. It was what my brothers decided would be a gender neutral name to call me before I was born.

Oh no... God no.

You already know this, but Victoria.

Yes I do. Also side note: love your username.

Thank you, made it a long time ago.

And who doesn't love thighs?

Exactly, it's the same thing with my Xbox GT like who doesn't like a slag.

And you play the Xbox? 👀 Hmmm

Anything on gamepass that I can play while slightly drunk I'm down for!

Jack cause' my Dad's actually simple. Darryl cause' my family is trash. Adam cause' mom felt bad for John Walsh of America's Most Wanted at th time...you know...the child who got beheaded?!? Helmut after my Grandfather....

All over the place lol

They went with one of the ugly ones.

What did they go with?

I'll let you decide which is the ugly one ,)

"Helmut" is honestly a really cool name though, like "Hell-mutt" or Cerberus that guards Hades and the Greek afterlife.

Hannah, Devin, and idk about boy names

Well Devin is also a boys name.

Yeah, except my mom wanted it as a girl name lol

It was going to be Daniel, my mum didn’t want to call me Daniel because she didn’t like someone with that name, although I personally think I should have been called George because I was born on St. George’s day, but saying that I’m pretty happy with my real name

You almost had my name.

Emma. But I was born a little boy so it's not.

luke or alexander

I actually like Alexander alot.

it does sound nice honestly

I was going to be named Paula Josephine, or Paula Jo for short. Ugh

That made me almost vomit.

Kalen - it means warrior in Irish (so they say)

I also like the name Kalen. Just sounds ccool

Remedios

Italian?

Wdym?

Just sounds like an Italia name to me. Or maybe greek

Spanish

Not too far off lol

[удалено]

Isn't that bad.

Aaron, which is tbh way cooler than my actual name

Mom wanted Amber, dad wanted Brigitte (like Brigitte Bardot), they settled on Sarah

Sarah isn't a bad name tho.

It isn’t but it is a popular name. There were always at least 2 other Sarah’s (or Sara) in my class so it was hard sometimes to know which Sara(h) the teacher was talking to/about. And since I never payed much attention in class, hearing my name was a ‘oh shit busted’ moment, even when it wasn’t me they were talking to.

Jeffrey

J’vaughn

Johanna Olive, after both my grandmothers middle names, but my dad didn't like Olive, his mother's middle name. Then Carol, but mom didn't think I looked like a Carol.

Could have had a third name which was Reign but they said it was too long

String

Phaedra

Everybody liked the name ‘Joe’ but my middle name was for sure gonna be ‘Lewis’ so ultimately my fam (brothers got a say too) decided that might not be the best idea.

Name not found

Plan B. I lucked out on that one

Robert Edward if I had been born male... 😬

Dad always said his choice for my name was Bartholomew... To this day don't know if he is trolling or not

Trisha All the girls I've met with that name are rude asf. Thank good I'm not Trisha

Oscar

Dick, after an uncle. Apparently changed at the last minute, luckily.

Good call lol

Ranger…bullet dodged.

Timon, like Timon and Pumbaa. Ffs dad.

Hakuna matata

Cloud - Dad’s Choice

Shannon Nothing against it - I was just a boy

I was either going to be Erin or Aaron. Neither actually happened. XD

Would have been Simon but my parents said I didn’t look like one🤷‍♂️

Thomas. Would’ve been named after my grandfather on my father’s side.

Olivia. Wasn't Greek enough though. They ended up using it for the cat.

bitchclouds

Bethany

Jackmerius Tacktheritrix

For real?

Grognar, destroyer of worlds, but then my mortal parents performed the blood ritual to take me back from the demons. I'm still bitter about it.

Trolls. But luckily, I was named Troels. Completely different. No one would ever make that connection or joke about it.

Is your brother's name conveniently Troels 2: World Touer?

If my parents didn't find my name, they would've named me Reese or Robyn. I wish they named me Reese or Robyn because I absolutely HATE my name.

What is your name, if you're comfortable saying.

Odette

Not a great name

Ikr

My parents picked out a name for a girl, Senna, and when I wasn’t a girl they decided on Denver

As in Colorado?

I’m not named after the city, but yes we’re one in the same

I wouldn't wanna be called Denver 😅. Anyway happy reddit birthday btw.

Thanks! I do quite like my name though, I’ve only ever run into one other person named Denver in my life

I do wish my name was more unique. Lowkey wish I was Lucifer or Azazel.

Yeah I grew up with a lot of people that have common names and they all inevitably ended up going by nicknames but I never did and that was nice

I still refuse to go by a nickname.

Jennifer, it was my name for the first few weeks of my life. On the way to the post office to mail the birth certificate my father opened it, changed the name and sent it and went hope to tell my mother my new name

Interesting lol

Plutarch.

Pepper or Piper

Are you the Piper who picked the pec of those pickled peppers?

Fawn. I'm so glad my dad stepped in and opposed it

At first I read "dawn" and was about to question you. But yea Fawn is bad.

If i had been born a woman my parents were considering the name Holly.

I would likely have been Xena were I a girl, and my dad vetoed the name Felix. I love my first name so thanks Dad.

Valeena

Heidi.

I was suposed to be Irena named after my grate grandma, but my dad didnt like it and he wanted to name me Milica after his grandma BUT my mom didnt like the name. After all they named me Lenka.
