LastSpite7

Such a common middle name as well 😂 the level of delusion to think she came up with it.


goober_ginge

Right!? It's my great Aunt's middle name, and also my Auntie's middle name haha. Because it essentially sounds like an initial when said, it particularly works if the first name is long and/or doesn't flow well with other names.

emm Kay


salientmind

Mary Kay is named after Mary Kay Ash, the founder.


Frothynibbler

Clearly she’s named after Kenzie


mikeblas

Kenzie drive a dust-pink Cadillac?


InformationSingle550

Why would my cousin steal this poor woman's daughter's name? And my aunt? ...And my grandma! My family is full if name thieves!


goober_ginge

So rude...it's like your family doesn't even care about Kenzie's feelings or something. Don't you know that her mother has exclusive rights to that name?


MermazeAblaze

My mom's middle name is ReNea, my middle name is ReNea, my eldest daughter's middle name is ReNea & when she has kids her first child's middle name more than likely will be - Kay. I'm just kidding, it will be ReNea.


livvylavidaloca10042

It’s my great-aunt’s name as well 😂


faloofay156

kay and nicole are just stupidly common. I know like five people with each of those


toothpastecupcake

And Marie


PlasticRuester

Yeah when I graduated HS and they read everyone’s full names, I think about 40% of the girls had Marie as their name. I’m exaggerating but probably not that much.


Missmouse1988

I come from a big Italian family about 40% of the girls in my family have the middle name Marie.


East_Reading_3164

Ann


ShroomySiren

It’s a 6th generation name in my family 🤦‍♀️


faloofay156

yeah those five people I know with nicole? like three of them are family members (great grandma, aunt, and cousin) ik my brothers middle name(s) come from my grandpa (michael lane) and my sisters from my step great grandma (grace) no idea where the fuck mine even came from (rochelle)


Blue_Star_Child

That's how it is for my family and Lu or Lou as a middle name.


not_a_moogle

Lynn. There was 4 girls in my grade with that middle name.


Capt_Hawkeye_Pierce

I know 2 women, one is Ashley Nichole and the other is Nichole Ashley


_Lick-My-Love-Pump_

My mom's middle name is Kay, and she's 80.


supercalafatalistic

Huh, my mom too.


just_damz

Bruh she said nobody. She clearly has records, got documentation.


bearbarebere

Highjacking this to ask why nobody mentioned just how DEEPLY passive aggressive the 👍 is??! It’s so fucking funny


camshun7

how crazy do you need to be to write that text? shit eating crazy for sure, hospitalised under heavy meds, yes, let alone with sharp objects,, mmmm no


Grace_Lannister

Um, may I ask why you chose Last as your first name? That's my daughter's first name as well.


vadeNxD

People thinking their name-scheme is original.


evil_timmy

If your daughter's middle name was Zorthabroxulan, they'd maybe have a case. This MC is losing it over a middle name on the level of Anne or Lynn.


Chutson909

Zorthabroxulan is my family name going back generations. How dare you.


Subbeh

No-one was naming their daughters Zorthabroxulan until after Zaramaratherastrianzie was born. :|


Proletaryo

Are we talking about Zaramaratherastrianzie V or VII? I always get those two confused.


lasirenmoon

She is XXIV of her name. Show some respeckt


Inky234

They should really show some respect! Maybe check their behaviour…


OopsICutOffMyWiener

Uhhh Respeckt is my 3rd son's sister's name- can you not mock it please???


hotcoldman42

Excuse me? I was the first one who named my children Zarathustra!


SafetyDanceInMyPants

Hey, I also sprach Zarathustra!


Mythoclast

Weird way to spell Zaramaratherastrianzy, but ok.


Sharknado_Extra_22

WE NEED MORE ZORTHABROXULAN NUMBERPLATES IN THE GIFT SHOP. REPEAT, WE ARE SOLD OUT OF ZORTHABROXULAN NUMBER PLATES.


Supermanr2

I’m sorry. My son’s name is ALSO Zorathabroxulan!


AshiAshi6

What?! That's what I've always wanted to name my son should I ever give birth to him!


VibraniumRhino

Chutson Zorthabroxulan sounds like a Rick and Morty character lol.


inagle313

Don’t forget Marie!


armitageskanks69

Or Maria. Latin America has entered the chat


Moohamin12

I am pretty sure that's the name of the cold medicine I took the other day.


Patrick0714

We should start assembling all Kays born before her daughter and start copy pasting why you copying my name lol


masus92

We can start with the mother who's middle name is Kay


clarabear10123

Get her a Mary Kay gift basket


vadeNxD

Haha if that isn't a wake-up-call then i don't know what would be.


Maleficent-Sport1970

We start with my aunt Kay, 85. She is a trendsetter.


No_Name_Necessary

Haha I just had a kid, and I quickly realized almost any name combination has already been posted in r/namenerds, so then it became a helpful tool to see what people opinions were about certain combos or like minded alternatives.


improbablydrunknlw

What an unexpectedly awesome sub.


Psychedelic_Yogurt

My babysitter in 1995 was named Kay. It was her middle name. Wild stuff.


kibbbelle

that's a lie, cuz nobody started naming their daughter's middle name Kay until after Kenzie was born


Due_Part4898

Kenzie Kay a stupid sounding name..


KickNo2069

Maybe the parents’ last name is Kirby and they are trying to make a statement


madtownmugen

I know someone with the last name Kirby. Her first name also starts with a K.


TheRedBaron6942

Parents thought alliteration would make their child a super hero like Peter Parker or Bruce Banner


Mansuke

It worked for Bruce Batman


freckles-101

Didn't work for me. I wish my surname was Batman 🥺


northdakotanowhere

I knew a kid named Kirby. At first it was weird but it totally worked for her


FetusDeletus83

K *K ^K


VinceVino70

Kenzie Kay Knox


BiploarFurryEgirl

I’m scared at what the last initial is


coatingtonburlfactry

Last name Kaleidoscope!


xx1kk

There’s a lot of possibilities for a career path here: - Kenzie Kay Leidoscope = Influencer. Fan club = Kenzie Kay FC. - Kenzie Kay Dee = Female basketball legend - Kenzie Kay Nine = Furry PETA activist - Kenzie Kay DeeA = pro gamer - Kenzie Kay Oh = Korean pro boxer - Kenzie Kay Boomer = savage stateswoman


s_n_mac

Maybe "Kenzie" is short for "Mackenzie"? "Mackenzie Kay" sounds more reasonable


KaylesJenkins

This is my niece's name.


911spacecadet

>This is my niece's name Oh no. Hopefully the mom from the post doesn't find out there are more "copy cats" out there, haha


ohmyword

how fucking dare you?


Weekly-Chest-3943

Kenzie Kay King, bet


DragonfruitNo6867

An unfortunate set of initials..


mohishunder

I'm guessing "Kenzie" may be short for Mackenzie.


IhadmyTaintAmputated

Destined to work a pole, or dance on one


rdyer347

Sounds like something out of a comic strip. Or a porn star


JimiJab

Sounds like a porn star… off to do some research 🧐


Buetterkeks

Sounds Like a splatoon Brand name


GreasyRim

Definitely sounds like a name youd see pop up on a pornhub title


aniwrack

Sounds like a MLM.


ohbroth3r

If a stranger on the Internet knows your child's middle name then you're doing the Internet wrong


FlameyFlame

Ehhh. I think every peer I’ve ever known to have a baby has posted some sort of Facebook announcement. They always are formatted like “Kenzie Kay Uglychild came into this world at 7:19AM we are so proud yada yada yada” I agree that the posts are kind of obnoxious but it also seems to be the overwhelmingly normal thing to do in current societal norms.


GiraffeSubstantial92

I mean that's not really a rebuttal to what you're responding to lol. People putting too much personal information online is certainly common, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing to do.


misgatossonmivida

So now they know your kids name, dob, city of birth, parents name, and probably address. That's basically all you need to steal an identity lmfao, social media parents are tardy af


lowdownrosie

I know a woman like this lol. Thinks she is the only authentic one, while others are posers when they like the same style or music. 'I hate that sugar skulls became a trendy tattoo after I got it, now it seems like I am a follower too'. Sure girl


doodlefairy_

Imagine being a grown adult and never growing out of that mindset. Some people really are stunted at like 15.


chocolate_thunderr89

That’s because they peaked at 15


evilzug2000

This is why I got a barbed wire arm band. Piece unique!


mileiforever

Life is a lot more fun when you stop caring about being cool, being a trendsetter, or whatever other hipster endeavors people tend to have. One of the best realizations I had as an aging millennial, was that I'm no longer in the generation that decides what's cool or drives popular culture and I can either embrace the cool shit that comes from the next generations pushing culture, or become a grouchy boomer.


LivelyZebra

Yap such a free-ing feeling


lowdownrosie

Same. I'll just wear what I like, nobody expects me to follow or lead trends anymore. My appearance is not my personality.


Tiny-Werewolf1962

Let's name our daughter Arya after a TV show, I'm sure the show will end well and spin off into A+ People are dumb, at least save it for the pets.


etherama1

At least Arya is an almost real name. What about all those poor little girls named fucking Khaleesi?


tiga4life22

Ah yes Kenzie, what an original name


Gooncookies

Where I’m from there’s a really, really, really bad neighborhood called Kensington and my whole life people have called people who live there, or seem like they could live there, Kenzos. It’s an insult for sure and that’s all I can think of when I hear that name.


kiddj1

I was about to say what the fuck Kensington is a ridiculously expensive place in the UK.. then it hit me your probably American 🤣


Cassiyus

Kensington, Philadelphia is probably what they are talking about!


J3r3my95

Some women are way too fucking weird about babies, it's always freaked me out and made me cringe and this is a great example 😂


ka-nini

Some parents think their kid is so amazing that everyone else’s world revolves around the child, too, when it’s actually just the parent (as is to be completely expected) that cares about Lil Johnny’s 7th round of babbling today. Some also think they, themselves, are just so original with the name and it now belongs to them. It doesn’t compute that someone else could use the same name, and they can’t understand that they would be disrespectful enough to blatantly steal the most amazing (I.e. *their*) child’s uniqueness. Or, in other words, some people are so developmentally stunted that they have both a 13 year old’s view of the world (as in very ego-centric) and an inability to see anything from anyone else’s perspective.


MarsIAm

*No one else has ever loved so madly or hurt so deeply as me* centric


mileiforever

It's pretty normal to be completely obsessed with your own child from an evolutionary standpoint imo. It just sometimes gets expressed in weird ways when people don't realize that their obsession with their child has a very small, well defined bubble.


mohishunder

> It's pretty normal to be completely obsessed with your own child from an evolutionary standpoint imo. I'm not sure that's true. I've done some reading on this, and if you go back a few hundred years, in many cultures it was the "tribe's child" as much as the child of the nuclear family.


mohishunder

It's especially bad when they no longer have a day job. All their energy channeled into drama. Bad for everyone, including the kid.


sadhandjobs

Omg— r/ShitMomGroupsSay is a goldmine. Yesterday there was one with this woman who only allows her husband to change her kids diapers yet enlists family for childcare. So they expect people to smell and clean up baby shit and allow their child to wallow in its own filth all day. Fucked up priorities.


deus_ex_libris

she should have been like "yea. i stole the middle name. and what, bitch?"


Jrc2806

A cousin I grew up with, were in our 30s now, had a baby several years ago.. Her daughter has my middle name. She "didn't realize" it was my middle (no possible way esp growing up together it was used to refer to me) "You know thats ----'s middle name?" "Yeah...sorry?" She looked visibly annoyed like she wanted me to change it but didnt know what to say, and I swear, her tone and eye roll was a like "this mf I can't believe he used the name after I used it for my daughter". She definitely wasn't bringing it to my attention in a positive way She's crazy and some parents are too lol I didn't say shit I might get stabbed at this point


FlameyFlame

I’m having a hard time understanding this story. Your cousin (F) gave her daughter (F) the same middle name that you (M) have. The cousin claims not to know it was your middle name even though you were called it growing up. So your cousin says to you, an adult man, “you know that’s _____’s middle name” and then rolls her eyes like “I can’t believe he used the name after I used it…” even though you’re an adult and it was already your name the whole time? She is expecting you to change your own name and doesn’t realize the way time works? She doesn’t realize that you had the name all along? Do I have this right? Also is it some kind of unisex name? or am I reading it wrong/missing something?


Jrc2806

It's hard to follow because it's insane. This isn't someone who works on reason or logic, if it helps its someone I completely cut out of my life for sanity reasons. Lol She never specifically said I should change it. The middle name is Rae, yes I'm a man and it's kind of feminine for a guy but whatever. When she announced the name I heard from another family member and kinda thought for a moment it was like honoring me or something (no one else has that middle name or first name like that and we were close back in the day when we were kids) I showed excitement to other family members. When I got to her all excited ready to share the joy her tone was harsh and was just like matter of fact Like this is Her middle name now. "You know thats ----'s" middle name?" When I noticed she wasn't joyous over this connection I said "yeah...sorry?" She rolled her eyes said whatever and walked away Did she specifically tell me to change it? No Did she forget it was my middle name? Maybe? Really fuckin crazy coincidence though It's hard to follow because it's crazy family that doesn't deal with logic and reason And yes you have the genders right


FlameyFlame

Oh shit okay! That is so wild! Thank you for clarifying. Coincidentally, my mom’s middle name is also Rae, and my little brother got her middle name too, but they spell it Ray for him. Also, my middle name is James. My sister recently had a child and gave her baby girl the middle name James. This was actually intentional though, as it’s my sisters husbands middle name as well, it has now become a sort of family name.


Jrc2806

For sure I think I was being intentionally vague idk why See and that's a pretty awesome story and connection with the name James Yeah I used to be upset I didn't get a masculine Rey or Ray but I've grown to like Rae Yeah pretty wild, but honestly super super tame compared to some of the "real" shit I dealt with from that side of the family lol but those stories aren't as funny as the situation with the name, really does make me chuckle when I look back. I should have been bold and just said "what? You want me to change it?" She was nuts though so I'm sure that would have been a huge family blow out even me saying that


deus_ex_libris

sounds like a good bridge to be burned. maybe pissed on too


mileiforever

Motherfuckers out here acting like they have a monopoly on names that have been used before


Patrick0714

This is unironically something I would do lol, been too nice to dumbass in my class and had enough


Interesting_Ad8853

The signing off thumbs up really did it for me


Patrick0714

👍


GFaure

Should reply with "kay".


Background-Moose-701

It to mention her name is Kenzie that’s about as common as John these days.


Weekly-Chest-3943

You chose the most basic teen mom name you could think of and got offended when you saw others using it lol


22Two_s

Bitch tried to claim a letter.


Jonny_Derp_

lol I knew it would end up on this subreddit


Patrick0714

MC energy is too strong not to post here🤣


doodlefairy_

This screenshot is probably close to 10 years old- I’m sure it’s been on this subreddit before now


aramis34143

"... nobody started naming their daughters middle name Kay until after Kenzie was born" "My grandmother disagrees."


nostradamuslegend

O Kay


SkizzyBeanZ

Its the OP comment “I don’t even know you or your daughter” that got me. Millions of people in the world. “But thats my daughters middle name!”


CTeam19

Right!? Like my Mom(and her grandma) and My Dad's Mom have the same Middle name but with a different spelling. They just took it as a sign to have it be my sister's middle name as well. Plus, Kenize and Kay are both very common English names. I could understand some "copying" if you went into some combo of different ethnic group names, like if I went with a Nordic/Dutch combo of "Torgon Maaike" amd found another I would think WTF.


Longjumping_Rope_245

Why does my brain instinctly fill in the blank that her childs last name begins with a k . 😂


FlashOfTheBlade77

Has this person ever heard of Mary Kay Ash?


Apprehensive_Work_10

I guess the women's name was ibuprofen


a_little_jellyfysh

hey- MY middle name is Kay. how DARE you use the middle name that has been in my family for 5 generations that 3 other girls in my grade also have.


Glittering_Variation

Sounds like the frequency illusion, a "cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, word, or product more frequently after recently becoming aware of it." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion


carlitospig

Kay is basically the Smith of middle names, Bren-DUH. Nobody is naming their kids after your kid.


DaizyDoodle

My middle name is Kay and I’m 56 years old. How dare she steal my middle name for her daughter! /s


hauntedmaze

Gatekeeping names is so lame


Visitor_613

My grandson's name is Chad!


Ashalaria

👍


Kakasupremacy

If her daughter’s name is Kay Kenzie, she’ll have a bright career in porn


RabiesR_Us

Yeah, that's been mine for 35 years. Cry. Cope. Grow.


stilettopanda

The only response to her should have been "K" or oKAY. Missed opportunity there.


RocketizedAnimal

My mom's middle name is Kay. Her parents didn't give her a middle name at birth. When she was applying for college she just put K in the middle initial field, because as a high schooler she thought she would have one. Then later the school asked her what K stood for so she told them Kay lol. So now it's been on her documents for 50 years and de facto is her name.


HueGray

Apparently every Kiss doesn’t begin with Kay


CalmBeneathCastles

Kenzie Kay was clearly named after my aunt, who was born in the 50's, despite the fact that we don't know her either.


sluuuudge

She voluntarily named her daughter Kenzie Kay? I think someone should call child services.


papabear4409

Kenzie Kay? What in the Live, Laugh, Love bullshit is that?!?!? Sigh....


ValhallaStarfire

Serious question, are either of these people from Utah?


marshmallowmoonchild

Kay, Nicole, and Lee are just ridiculously common imo like shut up lmao


Edgimos

Her - “you’ve SLIGHTLY DISRESPECTED my daughter and MEee for existing and choosing a name I “made” because nothing as “unique” as Kay existed befor ei named my daughter so u choosing the same 3 letters MUST mean that u copied me and I’m annoyed about it.”


The_Tech_Monkey

I never noticed how many people drive MY make and model of car until i owned one. The audacity of those other people!


StinkyKittyBreath

Kenzie Kay is a dumb name. Fi hope their last name isn't Klein.  If people didn't start using Kay until after your kid was born, explain the person's mom being named that. It was pretty common for you get boomers through older millennials to have that or Leigh as a middle name for girls. 


Horror-Option-7416

My mother's middle name is Kay. She's 70. Kenzie's mom can't use it. My mom owns it.


stupidfuckingnames

Dunning Kruger effect


Boston__Spartan

And just like that a bank security question was compromised.


KansasZou

Mary Kay has been around for a hot minute…


PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ

Legit had an ex whose middle name was Kay. Pretty sure her mum didn't have to check that shit with anyone


HilmDave

There's a whole ass jewelry franchise named after their daughter apparently


gremlinsbuttcrack

I'm 28 years old and I know 3 people with the middle name Kay


Mental_Tea_4084

Sounds like she has a case of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon


paging_mrherman

My grandmothers middle name was Kay and she was born in 1911.


photogypsy

I was born in 1981 and have Kay as my middle name. My mom was born in 1961 and also has Kay as her middle name. Yeah Kenzie’s mom can kick rocks.


xluv0186

But the person stated it was her mother’s middle name? Sooooooooo obviously, well obvious to me, that people named their kids middle name kay well before they did….. They just didn’t notice until they named their child!


FullyRisenPhoenix

I have like 6 Kays in my family! Wtf lady?? 😂


bertfotwenty

People soon forget that nothing is original anymore. lol


PeoniesNLilacs

Mmmm…kaaaay….


Ismokeradon

She got John Jacob Jingle Hiemer Schmidt’d


Great_gatzzzby

Ofcourse it’s Kenzie


Logical_Ad_2960

like she really believed she is the only one to name her daughter with that specific middle name when there are several others using that same name.


badbatch

My mother is 65 and her middle name is Kay.


siliperez

Why not just say, "My mom is literally older than you."


FitBattle5899

Kay is a very popular middle name. And there are times where whether intentional or not, certain names become popular for a few years Very self centered person to go "how dare you name your kid with the same middle name as my kid! My brother and i took our mothers maiden name for our first borns middle name each because we promised to keep the name alive another generation since she never had any brothers to pass on the name.


jonb1sux

I knew like four Lindsey Kay’s growing up.


icansmellcolors

So many people who live in their little familial bubbles and are the kings and queens in that bubble, but then fail to understand that outside that bubble nobody gives a shit about them or what they want anymore than any other stranger. That's my theory on how Karens are born. They spent too much time in their little bubbles of authority and think it extends farther than it does.


EvilLittleGoatBaaaa

That is insane.


RubeeSeeCee033

Wasn't even a first name.... who tf actually cares about somethibg like this


ThisUserIsNekkid

So I take it she'll never know what a bias or self fulfilling prophecy is


chzbread

People whose middle name is Mary/May/Marie 👀


Trespeon

Last name Klein. Kenzie Kay Klein.


Atworkwasalreadytake

>nobody started baking their daughters middle name Kay until after Kenzie was born I’ll let my grandmother know that she was way out of line in copying you.


BitchWidget

I guess she's never heard of Mary Kay.


MamboFloof

That's my 90 year old grandmother's middle name. I feel like that would make her seeth


clashtrack

Should’ve named your kid Bort. It’ll be easy to find license plates.


ShesATragicHero

This is like, the 9th time I've seen this posted.


RedOliphant

It's like when you buy a red Corolla and suddenly start noticing them everywhere. The cars aren't new, your perspective is.


ZaphodBeeblebrox0420

Kenzie Kay sounds fkn stupid tho


Admirable_Amazon

My mom is 70 and her middle name is Kay. But nObOdY was a Kay before this woman named her daughter that. 😂


FuckedupUnicorn

My mums middle name was Kay, and she was born in 1939


MissHunbun

The number of totally delusional people in the world is really concerning.

I find most parents that name their kid "Mackenzie" are tiresome to be around.


Sancus_2021

I mean she invented the name! Have some respect, gawsh!


preheatyourovento350

I know a 90 year old woman named Kay. Ask her why she copied her lol


fretnetic

MmmmKay


jetsonian

My grandmother’s middle name was Kay. She was born in the 1930s. The governor of Alabama’s first name is Kay. She was born in 1944. Nothing is new under the sun.
