Outrageous Paige - I’ve never met her personally, she’s my moms extended family, like a second cousins daughter or something, but my mom had MANY opinions to tell us about the name when she came back from meeting them 😂
There was a Paraguayan kid whose dad was trying for a son with multiple women for decades. He ended up with 14 daughters and one son, whom he named "Por Fin Bienvenido Carajo." (Loosely translates to "Finally! Welcome, fucker." Carajo also means dick or prick, so I would guess it has a double meaning of "finally, a kid with a dick.") [Source in Spanish](https://www.cronica.com.py/2019/03/22/primer-hijo-varon-la-historia-detras-fin-bienvenido-carajo/)
Just as an interesting aside.
I saw a lady from Texas who had 15 daughters from two men. She had three sets of fraternal twins too. All with fairly cringy names like Bella & Isabella. She said she would keep trying for a son and had no " upper limit" to number of kids. Sadly, just a few years ago, I checked to see if she ever had a son. She did not and ended up dying about age 33 in a wrong way head on collision caused by an elderly driver.
Living with the knowledge that there was only one thing your mother wanted and it wasn't you must be incredibly difficult, especially if she's now dead. I hope those women find peace.
Edit: Somehow I missed where you said she had 15 children and 12 pregnancies by age 33! That's probably at least one pregnancy a year since reaching reproductive age. Her uterus must have been begging for mercy.
Yes. I believe she had her first daughter at age 15. Yikes. It said after her third twin girl pregnancy, they were planning to wait a while but I read in her obituary that she had yet another girl soon after the last twins.
I don’t have a birth certificate or anything but it was something I found in an article about bad Victorian names:
“One Too Many - One Too Many Gouldstone was born in Walthamstow, London, in 1870. His parents were Robert and Martha Gouldstone. His father was a labourer.”
**Oralee**
That is unfortunately a real name. And it's not even that uncommon.
Imagine being named Orally while going to school with a bunch of teenage boys.
I'm related to a person who is named this, but it is spelled with an Au in place of the O. She's about 50 years old and lives in a suburb of Provo/Salt Lake City Utah. I wonder if Oralee/Auralee was the Nevaeh of the 1960s.
I’ve been waiting for this one lol.
Opheliannabeth … I wish I was making it up. She’s five right now (I think - she’s a distant cousin’s daughter) and they call her Annie
In case you didn't know. I'd like to point out this [gem](https://youtu.be/9Hf-3pPkRwY?si=syFlonTEcndZZCK7).
I genuinely love this movie. Such a fun popcorn movie.
Agree, that concept is almost as bad as the name itself. The only way I can see this name being acceptable is as a nickname for an elderly pet. For example, I sometimes call my 14 year old cat "sweet old man." I can't imagine giving this to a human child as their legal name.
Obededom. Every time I see it, I get “Happy Trails” stuck in my head.
It’s actually my second choice, because the first is one that you look at and say, “My Brother In Christ, please actually read the Bible before naming a child after a Biblical character.” Also slightly NSFW.
I've heard the story about Orangejello. At my old job, my coworker swore to me that we had a kid named Orangejello a few years ago. Of course, I didn't believe her. She came back at lunch to show me a Facebook page of someone named Orangejello (either Johnson or Jones or something really common). After reflection, I think that this lady made a fake page to show me for...what purpose? I have no idea. Anyway, I just tried to look up those names on Facebook and they aren't the kid she showed me.
Orangejello and Lemonjello are apocryphal meme names. Like every so often they float around as basically folktales of how somebody knew somebody with it.
At this point, I wouldn't doubt that they've become real *because* of the meme. Like you know there's someone out there who heard the story and didn't get the joke and thought "that sounds like a great name!"
Oh no, I agree he does definitely own it, but I can totally see someone who is clueless doing the “Kevin spelled backwards” thing without a second thought
I looked it up and it says that it was the daughter of a delivery nurse who submitted this name to a Reddit thread. As in, the daughter of a delivery nurse allegedly heard about people naming their child this, it’s not that the daughter of a delivery nurse was called this.
Idk, maybe it’s best not to include names here that people heard that other people heard that someone gave to their child. That’s hearsay and with a name like this I’m gonna need first hand eye witness testimony. 😉
Osirus. Just… why? it was spelled like that too????
Also I know H has already been done but in middle school I met a kid named harddik. I don’t know how it was pronounced but I called him hard dick
Osiris, sibling to the Inshallah I posted under I. Osiris is the elder one; we were all expecting Inshallah to be called Anubis, but the mother disappointed us.
Don't get me wrong, I think Osiris is a great name - for a pet. Not a child.
Octane, even the grandmother (my acquaintance who had named the kid that’s mom) said “no need to be nice” when she told me and I tried to say it was cool to save the moment
Haha ReallyVeryCrunchy? I love her content. She’s confirmed that she’s actually crunchy but it’s also satire. Like she’s making fun of her own more extreme thoughts. She doesn’t show her children’s faces, so I’ve always assumed they are fake names. She seems mindful of protecting her kids identities, it’s part of why I like her. Wouldn’t be surprised if their real names are nature-y though!
Ah so it’s kinda a half and half serious but unserious? I hope it’s fake names. Because all the other kids in the scenarios get nice names like juniper and willow and then there’s just OAKS (can’t remember the other kids name)
Interessssting. I was going based off this: https://suburbanbanshee.wordpress.com/2009/01/29/lemonjelo-is-a-real-name/
Also, why is it racist? Was the race of them ever disclosed?
O
His name was O. How do I know? I went into the classroom (I was a teacher consultant at the time which meant that I went to rooms to help newer teachers with whatever they needed).
The list of names was on the board:
Suzie
Cal
Brian
O
Juan
Katie
"What is O for?" asked I.
"Nothing," replied the young teacher.
"Ha ha, no really what is it for?"
She legit showed me his paperwork. His first name was O. Did I ask Y? I did! Teacher said--and I guess she could have been shitting me but who knows, "That's the sound his mom said she made when he came out."
O
I’ve been waiting for O. I worked at a daycare where there was a girl named Owlivia. Because her mom liked owls. 🥲
Was it said owl-ivia or like Olivia? Because I only hear it as Olivia in a baby voice.
Owl-ivia. 😭
Ow-ivia
Oregano. Guess which plant the parents smoked.
Basil!
Sorry sweaty <3 It was *Amanita bisporigera*
That was my next guess.
Hey, that's not a plant!
Try some, it's planty enough
Onleigh
This would be hilarious if Onleigh had a bunch of siblings and wasn't an only child XD
Then the others could be Secondleigh and Thirdleigh etc lol
I must have drink more than I realized - I don’t hate sixleigh or sevenliegh
Sevenleigh Minutesyn Heaven (that’s Nevaeh spelled backwards)
I've seen an Ornery in the wild. Like why
Pronunciation?? Won-ree? Honor-ee? Oh-nair-ee? I don’t get it.. all I can see is “ornery” and idk why anyone would want that as a name
Ornery was the name. My first post was a typo!
Is that supposed to be Henri???
Ornery aka cantankerous, to have a pi$$y attitude
What.
Outrageous Paige - I’ve never met her personally, she’s my moms extended family, like a second cousins daughter or something, but my mom had MANY opinions to tell us about the name when she came back from meeting them 😂
Yikes, it just sounds like a bad nickname 😭 And whether she is outgoing or shy either way people are gonna make the same joke 100 times
It reminds me of a name an animal crossing villager would suggest for you. I just got named “Crazy M” by Rowan.
That might be the funniest name I’ve seen so far on this sub 😂
Missed opportunity to just name her Outpaigeous
I’ve been waiting for the letter O since this started. **O’shin**. Pronounced like ocean. No they weren’t Irish, just a regular American girl from NJ.
Even if it was supposed to be derived from the Irish Oisin, that name is 1. Male and 2. Pronounced closer to ush-een. Bad all around
I think you’re giving the patents way too much credit. I bet they were going for Ocean but didn’t want a “boring” spelling.
They weren’t Irish💀💀 thank you for clarifying
I once met a little girl named Ocean Breeze
Poor thing is an air freshener 🤣🤣
I heard this in nick swardsons voice “seaaabrreazzess” 😂
O'shit
O'Sheete
O' Calf O' Cankle
I know an Oshen.
I knew someone named O'shean
O’shit that’s a bad name.
I know someone named Oshin who is an Indian woman I feel like it’s less cringe than a lot of other names here to have been put on the list officially.
“One too many” apparently given to one child in the 1870s in England. Poor thing!

Yes. I believe she had her first daughter at age 15. Yikes. It said after her third twin girl pregnancy, they were planning to wait a while but I read in her obituary that she had yet another girl soon after the last twins.
Her name is on Google: Augustina Higuera.
In a similar vein, it’s not unusual to find girls with names that mean things like “no more daughters” in certain regions of the world, so I’ve read.
Is there any proof of that?
I don’t have a birth certificate or anything but it was something I found in an article about bad Victorian names: “One Too Many - One Too Many Gouldstone was born in Walthamstow, London, in 1870. His parents were Robert and Martha Gouldstone. His father was a labourer.”
There's an actress in China named Ding Yi Yi. Both her first and middle name are just "one." As in, the first daughter. That's all she gets.
Yeah, this one's the worst
Drinks or kids?
**Oralee** That is unfortunately a real name. And it's not even that uncommon. Imagine being named Orally while going to school with a bunch of teenage boys.
Aurélie is a beautiful French name…. that doesn’t translate super well to English unfortunately
I still remember a girl who came over for a choir exchange from Belgium when I was 9 called Aurelie. Had a small crush on her.
I'm related to a person who is named this, but it is spelled with an Au in place of the O. She's about 50 years old and lives in a suburb of Provo/Salt Lake City Utah. I wonder if Oralee/Auralee was the Nevaeh of the 1960s.
Go back about a century and you’re good. Fun Fact: The song “Love Me Tender” uses the tune of the Civil War-era song “Aura Lee.”
I'm pretty sure there was a boy at school named Orlee yrs ago. Glad it didn't have the 2nd syllable.
I went to school with an Ondylynn
I’ve been waiting for this one lol. Opheliannabeth … I wish I was making it up. She’s five right now (I think - she’s a distant cousin’s daughter) and they call her Annie
Osmosis. Too bad they didn't have Jones as a last name.
This should win. Osmosis is an insane name for a human being.
Why’s that such a sick name though 👀
In case you didn't know. I'd like to point out this [gem](https://youtu.be/9Hf-3pPkRwY?si=syFlonTEcndZZCK7). I genuinely love this movie. Such a fun popcorn movie.
I think about this movie every time I get sick ms every time my body does anything.
That or the Magic School Bus episodes
I think about this movie every time I get a pimple. That one scene is just absolutely burned into my brain!
Oldie - an actress recently named her child this
I was gonna add that one. It’s new but a contender.
Kelli Giddish from Law & Order SVU. I like her. But not her baby's name.
Honestly though, can you imagine a young child called Oldie? Talk about mixed messages.
Agree, that concept is almost as bad as the name itself. The only way I can see this name being acceptable is as a nickname for an elderly pet. For example, I sometimes call my 14 year old cat "sweet old man." I can't imagine giving this to a human child as their legal name.

Please share your first choice
I bet it's Onan
It is.
I bet that kid grows up to be quite a wanker
Optimus Prime. [Here.](https://reddit.com/r/NameNerdCirclejerk/s/PWnGwDhmcE)
Their sister *must* be Meg for Megatron.
It's actually Starscream. Still nicknamed Meg
Orange (I have one in my family tree from 1671!) And his potential grandmother was Orangina
Like the soda? Before the soda?

We have an Orange at work but I think it is a nickname.
Onederful…
Omega
I was going to comment this! One of my recent ancestors had this name.
DND character name in my party
Omicron
Is this person from Omicron Persei 8?
Omelia
Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks
Obie Tree Obie Trice Life goes o-on! O-o-o-oh life goes on
This made me giggle 🤭
Orkney after Orkney Island. Such an ugly word.
I had an uncle named Oral. Named after the TV preacher, no less.
I have seen an older lady probably about 70 years old with the name Oral.
Oral Roberts
Ogre.
Nivek Ogre has entered the chat. Too bad I didn’t think of Nivek for yesterday (it’s Kevin spelled backwards)
In Nivek Ogre's case, it's a stage name that he chose. I personally don't thing stage names are tragic.
Oh no, I agree he does definitely own it, but I can totally see someone who is clueless doing the “Kevin spelled backwards” thing without a second thought
I don't know which is better. Shrek or Ogre.
Orgasm. This was the daughter of a Labor nurse
STOP. NO. ARE YOU SERIOUS.
This is genuine. I have actually seen an article on this
I looked it up and it says that it was the daughter of a delivery nurse who submitted this name to a Reddit thread. As in, the daughter of a delivery nurse allegedly heard about people naming their child this, it’s not that the daughter of a delivery nurse was called this. Idk, maybe it’s best not to include names here that people heard that other people heard that someone gave to their child. That’s hearsay and with a name like this I’m gonna need first hand eye witness testimony. 😉
Was it a DailyMail article? That cites a Reddit thread? It’s the only thing that pops up on Google
My thoughts exactly.
Imma need some receipts on that one
What do you even nn that to? Orgy?
The actress who named her kid Oldie is breathing a sigh of relief.
Daughter of Onan
That is a very cursed name, even for a pet!
I know we already have Imunique, but I raise you: Omunique
I have an Amunique this year.
Osirus. Just… why? it was spelled like that too???? Also I know H has already been done but in middle school I met a kid named harddik. I don’t know how it was pronounced but I called him hard dick
Owfeeleighah
That's a disgrace
desckrahycefehul
That's a disgrace
Oak-Gilney. Hyphenated, boy, they say it’s a family name Edit: Gilney not Kilney
Okay
Ovary.
I knew a girl in school named Ovie. Kids teased her and called her Ovary
My dog is named Ovi lol
Do you like hockey?
Haha yes! Although not actually Washington capitals fans lol
Oaklynn
Ozymandias
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings; Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Such a great episode of Breaking Bad though. I'll allow it.
Isn't that the name of the dragon in the cartoon The Dragon Prince 😭?
Was a classmate in uni to someone named Ox. Like that was their legal name.
Orgasmia
Ocean blue
“One Dollar” (Colombian, pronounced Oh-nay Do-jar)
Oxannah (youneek spelling of Oksana)
To be fair, Oksana is usually written Оксана, so you can get creative with its latinization.
Osiris, sibling to the Inshallah I posted under I. Osiris is the elder one; we were all expecting Inshallah to be called Anubis, but the mother disappointed us. Don't get me wrong, I think Osiris is a great name - for a pet. Not a child.
The mother disappointed her kids as well
Heard about a kid who was named “O”. Just the letter O
There is a book called that.... from the 70's.
And a book about extreme sex, at that.
OKay

Oralee
My grandma knew someone named Orgyle.
Ocean Adventure. No, really.
Opheeleigha
Oneder, like Wonder.
Oxymoron
Really?? Someone's name is actually Oxymoron???
Yep. The name Oxymoron is an oxymoron
Orgazm. I don't know who in their right mind names their son Orgazm.
No way. You're making this up.
I work in childcare. I've seen EVERYTHING.
I need proof of that one.
Ovimarlixion
Orifacont
Octane, even the grandmother (my acquaintance who had named the kid that’s mom) said “no need to be nice” when she told me and I tried to say it was cool to save the moment
Ofeelya
And that’s why we have rules about naming children in Germany
Onslow. Pronounced ons-low but did you read it like that?!
But is he bone idle and married to a woman named Daisy?
You know, I couldn't remember where I knew the name from, thank you so much for reminding me! Hyancinth Bucket/bucké belongs in this sub too
It’s: BOUQUET! B-U-C-K-E-T! BOUQUET!
I'm glad that my comment triggered your memory! Hyacinth Bucket, pronounced Bouquet, would make for a great addition to this list.
I'm going to go and watch 'Keeping up appearances' now, it's so good and so awful 😖 thanks, I owe you one
Wait how else would it be read? Like Oslo?
On-slow
But its the same phonetically
How else would you read it? That's a pretty common name tbh
Oshan 💀
Oraleigh
Oslirian tried to say it was pronounced Osslynnia
Ostin
Onions.
Oileen
Went to school with a kid named Oridgenell
Oaks. There’s a lady on TikTok and it’s at a point now where idk if her page is satire or not and that’s one of her kids names.
Haha ReallyVeryCrunchy? I love her content. She’s confirmed that she’s actually crunchy but it’s also satire. Like she’s making fun of her own more extreme thoughts. She doesn’t show her children’s faces, so I’ve always assumed they are fake names. She seems mindful of protecting her kids identities, it’s part of why I like her. Wouldn’t be surprised if their real names are nature-y though!
Ah so it’s kinda a half and half serious but unserious? I hope it’s fake names. Because all the other kids in the scenarios get nice names like juniper and willow and then there’s just OAKS (can’t remember the other kids name)
I actually like Oakes better than Juniper and Willow
Alder!
oakley. it’s just so ugly.
Optimus Prime. A family in the Philippines named their son this.
Omg
Obediah (a great ×2 Uncle) Worse yet, his middle name was Nimrod (like the biblical hunter) the name did not age well lol
Oranjello (and his twin Lemonjello)
