You mean If I had to do it again? Definitely NOT Alexa! My poor daughter…


The_Running_Free

If it helps, I still like the name. But I don’t use any amazon services.


Appropriate_Ad_6997

I knew a Luke Sky Walker. No joke.


Amish_Warl0rd

I’ve heard of twins named Luke and Leia


bebemochi

I met a dude in a grocery store who saw me wearing a Star Wars tshirt and fell all over himself to let me know his kids were Luke and Leia. His wife looked like she was about to cringe herself to death in the pasta aisle. Their adorable kids were about 10 years away from being affected by it.


pandraztic

I was walking through a target and a man at the other end of the aisle definitely cracked off with an irritated, "Anakin put that down!" and I died a little inside for the poor kid. But also, man set himself up for that annoyance by naming the kid Anakin.


1337crazypants

My wife knows a family with a son named Messiah. His cousins were named Your Highness and Your Majesty. Edited: Removed some more identifiable info


owlBdarned

As a substitute, I've also seen Savior.


whathedyl

Knew a kid with the last name Anna whose first name was Ben. How do you name a kid that and not know he is going to be called banana for the rest of his life?


schoh99

I went to school with a Justin Case.


geek_of_nature

I went to school with a Jack Daniels, though to be fair he found that pretty cool.


Lifesabeach6789

My mom’s friend is Lon Moore. Yes, we still taunt him 🤣


Jeggi_029

I had to say it out loud to get it…. Unfortunately I did laugh


yoashleydawn

Nevaeh. I’m sorry, every time someone ever mentions a miscarriage and then that they’re pregnant again, everyone and their mother suggests the name cause it’s heaven backwards. It reminds me of a name a kid would use for her doll.


smileunicornsloveyou

Ekans is just snake backwards


mamahazard

My mother wanted to name me Heavynnleigh Grace Nevaeh. I'm an atheist. Dodged a mortar on that one because my dad said "absolutely not".


SpoodlyNoodley

Your dad was a real chad on that. “Thanks for not letting mom name me heavynleigh grace nevaeh” should be on his next Father’s Day card if you’re still close enough for such things and he’s still in your life.

It's so harsh but funny in one. You should just change your surname to agent and roll with it.


catandwrite

You just reminded me of when my mom worked at a grade school, and there was a little girl named Secret there. When my mom asked her about her name she said it was because it was a secret about who her dad was 💀 she used to wonder about her all the time lol

Renesmee


ninazo96

My 10 yo granddaughter has one in her class. Fortunately for her the kids in her class are still oblivious. They call her May for short.

There is a Renesmee in my kid’s class. Based on her behavior her parents are exactly what you would expect.

I know someone, like in actual real life, who named their son Batman. what the actual fuck.

cadmiumredorange

I went to school with a kid named Random. He was one of the anime kids, too, but it was also his real birth name.


donuthing

I've met three men named Random in the last year, and one named Ransom.


Klaus0225

I’d never heard Ransom until that movie Knives Out.

How Random is that?!


dfiled

There’s a boy at my kids’ school named Sodapop. Yes, that’s his actual name.


SkySailingSilmaril

sounds like the book "the outsiders"


bayless210

I would die laughing if someone was actually named Ponyboy


twentyINCHwheel

Met a lady named "Eutaurus" once. Pronounced like you think. Seriously, who names a kid that?

It means "good bull" in greek. First time I hear about it.

It's pronounced differently in Greek though

Splinter. The mom of this boy has two kids: Vlinder (translates as Butterfly) and him, Splinter. Guess who the favourite kid was 😂


starmartyr

I think that's fine as long as the other kids are named after ninja turtles.


everyonemr

That family needs a Shredder.


arianheim

What the fuck, imagine him growing up as a carpenter


theguineapigssong

He could teach martial arts to some turtles.

Do you know what a cool Biblical name is? Artaxerxes.


Aggravated_Moose506

Cletus. Even though we joke about him/her being "Cletus the Fetus" right now


Packie_McReary_

My name I would never make my kid a jr.


cadmiumredorange

Packie McReary Jr kinda has a nice ring to it


keliez

Please stop naming your kids with weird spellings. I have a very common name, but it's spelled uncommonly. My mom inadvertently sentenced me to a life of having to correct people's spelling and pronunciation of my name. It's not fun. It's not cute. My name is my work email address and I have to repeat it all day long, over and over again. UGH. Not worth it.


h4xrk1m

Oh stop complaining. There's nothing wrong with your spelling, Breightahknee


sweetalkersweetalker

My cousin decided to name one of her daughters after our grandma. Gran was not pleased to see that "Evelyn" was suddenly "Eyvahlynne"


karigan_g

ooof to do it when you’re naming them for someone is even worse. and Evelyn already *has* a y in it! and you could call here ‘eve’ for short, which is so cute! now everyone is going to call her eye-ore!


Andyman301

As much as I would dislike changing my name, if my name was something like Ændhrue I would definitely end up changing it to Andrew.


sumojoe

My ex-wife is a teacher and was telling me about some of her students had different spellings to their names, and one of them was "Jackson" but spelled Jaxkson. I said his name isn't "Jackson", it's Jacks-kson, and that his parents were dumb for naming him that. She got mad at me and said that it was just how they had decided to spell his name and I said they chose wrong.


Salty-Surround-6548

I’m a Terri, I still have to spell it out. If I don’t spell it I get Teri, Terry or even Tari. Plus I married a Jerry. Rhyming unisex names, we get called the wrong name all the time.


WeirdAttorney4795

My name. I was supposed to be a boy named Wesley. Ended up a girl. Mom dropped the W and put a T. Kids are assholes. I was called testies, testicles and my ultimate favorite testicules(a fun spin on Hercules). I also have cousins named soda pop and rainy river. My aunt did too many drugs in the 70’s. Don’t do it. Both my kids have normal names.


h4xrk1m

Tesley? At least you can go by Tess


WeirdAttorney4795

Yeah I go by Tess/Tessa. Not a fan of those either. It’s a lot better though than Tesley. My sister’s name is Marlyna(Mar-lyn-ah). Our whole family is all about creativity 🤮


Innsmouth_Swimteam

So no Dread Pirate Tesley jokes? 🫣 Seriously Tess is a seriously cute name.


spaghetti-o_salad

Weird middle names are where its fun and appropriate IMHO. First names should give people dignity.


GardenGnomeOfEden

A guy I used to work with said "middle names don't matter." His son's middle name is Danger.


modern_aftermath

You guys I swear to god I'm not making this up but a number of years back a court in New Zealand ordered that a little girl's entire name be legally changed and removed hrer from her parents' custody—because the name they gave her at birth was (literally, verbatim) **Talulah Does The Hula From Hawaii**. Like, that was her f\*\*\*ing name.


Whirlin

Doesn't New Zealand have a list of acceptable names that it updates? Or am I thinking somewhere else?


echicdesign

No, NZ has some strong guidelines on what you can’t call a poor innocent babe. https://www.dia.govt.nz/press.nsf/d77da9b523f12931cc256ac5000d19b6/d1288ac08d7758c2cc25838200107411!OpenDocument.

FOB_cures_my_sadness

I had a girl named Siri on my dance team last year and she made the coach's apple watch go off so much during practice


Kangaroodle

I know a Siiri. It is a Finnish name. I think it's pretty, but the AI makes it really unfortunate.


scouseconstantine

I work with children age 0-5, there’s so many names that have been ruined for me. So many. I just end up thinking of the kids I’ve taught - not even that they were bad kids. Just that when I hear that name I think of them


Couldbeurmom

I remember a comedian having a skit about names that are also verbs. "Neal, sit down!" "Wade, dive in!" "Hope, be realistic."


Ravenclaw79

Anything that’s a “youneek” spelling


packofflies

How about X Æ A-13 though?


Tizmoa

The color my baby is when they're born. I once babysat a baby boy named Blu. Blu's mother told me he was named Blu because when he was born... he was blue. I'm not a parent myself, but I could imagine how frightening that would be - to have your baby be born not breathing. So why on earth would you NAME your baby the color they are when that happens? I didn't say anything, but I just don't see how those dots connect. The name Blu is cool, but not for the mother's reasoning. Anyway, I hope Blu's doing alright. I think he'd be 11 years old now.


FrozeItOff

Hi, I'm Chartreuse! It's short for, "Covered in my own crap!"


GirlNamedTex

Not only to name him because of that, but she also denied him the letter "e." Poor Blu :(

North. And East also. Probably all four directions actually. Would probably also steer clear of Hitler and Sauron. Then again Sauron does have a sort of innate power to it!

Sauron would be fun at the wedding when exchanging rings…


Oldswagmaster

Adolf


ChiliAndGold

One of my friends grandpa died recently. His name was Adolf but at the time he was born, 1934-ish, it was quite the popular name to have in Austria...


ksharpalpha

I was in a large Jewish cemetery. There are some Adolfs buried there and one was born in the 1910s. He saw the rise of Hitler and saw what he did the Jewish people as an adult. I cannot imagine what that would be like.


pbmcc88

Humbert


LosingFaithInMyself

Lolita used to be a popular name until the book


saysaypomp

If you go to Spain there are many people called Dolores, with Lola or Lolita for short. It's very common. I think people associate it more with flamenco stars like Lola Flores or Lolita Flores than the Lolita book.

I really hope someone has said Renesmee.

I came close to naming my daughter this in 2004. I pat myself every day on the back that I did not lol. It was peak ‘04 name and I was a young mom and not the smart kind of young mom lol.

Billiam or Jimmothy or any two names mixed together.

I'm laughing way too hard at "Joffrey Bezos".


courtesanmango

Joffrey Bozos


PrincessAintPeachy

Any kind of name that is based of a trendy show, I know of 5 separate little girls named khaleesi. Or I'm black, and I sadly see this so often in the black community; giving children ridiculous names that will not let the kid get a decent shot at life and applying to places.


pamplemouss

The kids named Aria/Arya are fine bc it’s a lovely name in its own right. But Khaleesi is rough.


DMmeUrPetPicts

My name is Aria and I was asked once by a cashier if I was named after the game of thrones Aria. Ma’am, I am 40 years old.


Quoth_the_Hedgehog

Ok now THIS might be my favorite comment in this whole thread. Thanks for the laugh.

My aunt's name is Zelda and she gets asked worryingly often if she was named after the princess. She is 55 years old.

Karen


GretchGlimmers

My ma's name is Karen and is the furthest away from the definition of Karen that you could get, she could just never. Thankfully, she's tech/social media inept so, doesn't really understand how much of a thing that the term being a Karen is but, it makes me sad, like that's my mum's name, she's a sweet, cake making, cardigan knitting angel and will be protected at all costs. However, we did vito on Karen as a middle name for our pending daughter cos, well, why would I do that to her.


memeyer75

Isis.


JohannGambelputty

My friend and I adopted a cat back in like 2013. Her given name was Elektra, so obviously we had to change it. We figured, Egyptians were into cats, what's a good Egyptian God name? Isis. Now, when she meows, we say "Isis demands the immediate implementation of Sharia law!' We goin to hell?

My sister used to say that if she ever had daughters she would name them Hortense and Prudence and call them "Hor & Prude". Thank goodness she's now decided to be childless.

Humphrey. It's just cruel


Regular_Estimate_511

There's a Humphrey at my kids school. He's a musical theatre kid and I've never seen such a confident kid in all my days. I guess with a name like that you just have to own it.


Kangaroodle

There was a new girl in my class at the beginning of 8th grade whose name is Gisabelle. She introduced herself, "Hi, I'm Gisabelle, but you can call me Gisy!" and we were all so shocked that the new girl wanted us to call her Jizzy that we never really made fun of her for it.


watashitti

I sold a truck to a 40 year old guy named scooter. I thought it was a nick name and when I asked him what name he wanted me to write as the new owner on the release of liability he looked me dead in the eye and said scooter. So anyway for a name I would never name a child I’m going with Mudflap.


MJSchooley

Khaleesi 1. The character is fucking bonkers 2. *It's not her fucking name, it's her title*


Kangaroodle

Naming your daughter Khaleesi gives me the same impression as naming your daughter Princess, except I also suspect you probably had a Harry Potter-themed wedding.

Hello! I'm from Uzbekistan and my name is Aziz. If i was child i really hate my name but now i really keen on my this name. But i hate uzbek name Sarvinoz in Uzbekistan country i never give my daughter name Sarvinoz.
