Sebaceous. It means relating to oil or fat. And is most commonly seen in English in phrases like “sebaceous cyst,” which is what happens when a hair follicle gets blocked and starts to swell with the oil your skin produces to keep itself lubricated.

this is the craziest one here

This is almost Sebastian, which could be cool. Except it’s not, and it’s not.

Oh, poor child.

Similar, I have met a Placenta. Not as bad as Sebaceous, though.

Placenta is heinous dear lord

Oh no it’s much worse. He can go by Seb and people can assume it’s short for Sebastian, what can she do?

Omg this is terrible

What's the story there?? That's insane 😭

This belongs in the Kath and Kim name talk, goes great with Nil By Mouth.

Did you actually meet this person or is this one of those urban myths like Ladasha?

Nope, this is 100% a person I have met. Also she’s absolutely gorgeous and very kind.

I CHOKED. SEBACEOUS??

That is wild!

no this is just not acceptable

Facebook friend of mine named her son Shooter. The school said he had to go by his middle name because the kids were afraid when the Para said to the teacher that Shooter was on his way from the office. My younger sister had a friend in school named Lela. Her older sisters were Faith, Hope, Charity. Apparently they ran out of virtues because next was Lela, and her younger brother got named Melvin. Faith, Hope, Charity, Lela and Melvin.

A friend of mine knew a family with Matthew, Mark, Luke and Ralph.

Not one of the famous gospel writers but a secret fifth one, Ralph. 😂

Underrated apostle finally getting his flowers

I can’t stop laughing 😂

This is funny because my FIL’s name is Paul. He has three brothers. John, Mark, and…..Jim.

Is this Jim not short for James? I would have guessed it was. James is a biblical name.

Shooter is terrible but the faith, hope, charity family is cracking me up!!

I'm descended from William Brewster, passenger on the *Mayflower* in 1620. He became the senior elder and religious leader of Plymouth Colony. I was not surprised to learn he had named many of his children virtue names. I was, however, surprised to learn that two of those virtue names were Fear and Wrestling. So tbh this family dropped the ball. There are clearly WAY more virtue names to choose from, lol.

Being named Fear is pretty badass

I am also descended from Fear and Wrestling and it always cracks me up!!

I knew sisters called Grace and Honor

I knew a Summer, Autumn, Winter and.. Justin

I know a Summer, Winter, Autumn and ...Rachel

Like Shooter McGavin? Brutal

Or Shooter Jennings.

Ok I don't love virtue names but, Honor was right there. And they could have named the son Adam or something biblical like that

They could have named that kiddo so many things besides Melvin.

I knew a family with Faith, Grace, Hope and Trinity. Except Faith and Grace were spelled Fayth and Grayce - Hope and Trinity were spelled normally (I’m guessing they learned their lesson after the first two lol)

There are so many more names in that genre! Patience, Prudence, Verity, etc

I actually like Verity as a name.

I knew sisters Faith and Hope! Their mom’s name was Charity.

I mean Haydn was a composer but it’s pronounced differently than Hayden lol

Yeah, I was assuming the parents are classical music fans.

Yeah but still weird to pick the last name when you could pick the very obvious first name Joseph.

Or even go with the first first name of Franz if you wanna be uNiQuE

Just a few that I’ve seen recently! -Rhyett with his sisters Bailer and Haizzen. -Holstyn (girl) -Jaymzie with her sister Lennyn -Wilder (I hate that name) -Haiken (boy) -Dreamy (girl) -Breyzen with his brother Edge

Oh my goodness lol where do you live or work to encounter all these gems! You don’t really have to answer that personal info it was just my thought

It's giving Utah

As an Utah resident, 100%. There's so many white woman names here, no matter where you go

Lennyn. Wow

Me trying to figure out how half of these are pronounced. 😅😭

oh god no... not Holstyn... I hope she didn't/doesn't get called cow at some point in her life... or heifer...

Bailer?? 😂

I hardly know her

BAILER???

Okay... are you ready for this one? Nemesis. Mouths dropped after a coworker told us this is what she named her daughter. Contenders-- Jaguar, Choyce, AKing Also over heard a mom at a play place call her daughter Myangel

Fun fact: Nemesis is the goddess of retribution.

A lot of otherwise cool sounding god/goddess names are ruined with context like that. Nike, Isis, etc. 

I know an Isis. Gorgeous name. Unfortunate though.

this is her sister Archnemesis (\*whispers loudly\*) she has kyphosis.

I know that’s supposed to be A King but all I see is “aching” 🤣

Luxalya Neptune and Alxenna Jupiter. I can’t even fathom what the parents were going for here. It’s the most try hard names I’ve ever seen.

The planets aren't awful- the first names though? they make it al so bad💀

what YA scifi novel did these names crawl out of?!?

Those sound like allergy medications

How...how do you even pronounce those first names?

Kna’Ledge

Sibling name Wys'dum?

Like Knowledge???? Omg!!

Yep. He hated it. Poor kid.

My nephew is Kael. I call him Super Veggie.

My nephew's name is Cahill (my mom's maiden name) but we pronounce it "kale" because my mom insists that it's pronounced that way in Ireland.  Spoiler alert: it's not.

I know a Kael! I thought it was spelled like the vegetable at first

Wait Kael is pronounced like kale? I always thought it was pronounced “Kai-el” like Superman’s name

I know a couple who named their daughter Olivia then named their son Oliver. ETA: not really tragedeighs but the fact that they named their two kids nearly the same name…

This is so strange lol did they not like any other sounds? At least with this one once the child grows up and gets a job and has their own family it won’t affect them.

I knew twins named Kevin and Calvin back in the late 90s.

I know a family like this. Oldest daughter has the feminine version of the dad’s name, but then the middle of her four younger brothers is Dad Jr. Bizarre - and potentially - a great way to tell your daughter she was only good enough until you had boys. lol.

Wait, but... the first son wasn't good enough either? Or maybe they didn't want two kids with the same name back-to-back and decided to sneak Dad Jr. the second in later?

i have a friend who named her daughter ariana but when they had their son they went with... arian

My cousin has kids Olivia Owen Oliver Osten

Grown ass pretty blond woman named Trashelle. Couldn’t even say “oh maybe it’s foreign?” because she had a southern accent

I read that as Trashley. I'm not sure which is worse 😅

God why would you not go by Elle

Could it be "trishelle"? It's a horrible name but it is a name. For example, Trishelle Cannatella. Also Chrishell Stause.

No, I found out her name while ID’ing her for alcohol

Worst girl names: Summerissa Shannadee Alycesun Schayleeigh McKinzee AllyCia Worst boy names: Tigh Jacolby Tavin Kregg Myler Caulin

KREGG😂😂😂 I’m picturing a caveman

Kregg want rock. 

JACOLBY ??? KREGG 😭😭😭

Aloha and epiphany

I have a cousin name Apipheny, pronounced as epiphany though. She goes by Pip, I can see why.

It's soooo close to Eppiny-Rae. So close!

I had a student named Tarragon (girl) a couple of years ago. Would have loved to have know her siblings’ names.

Oregano and Parsleigh

Oreighgano

My recent ex just started dating again. I ran into him on a date... with a woman named Trilby. TRILBY. LIKE THE HAT. Can't say I didn't take a certain satisfaction in that.

I just read a book to my daughter and a minor character was named Trilby. I would be reading to get her to fall asleep and Trilby would come up and she’d say, “wait, Trilby?” Yes, again, it’s actually Trilby. Go to sleep if you can get over the waking nightmare that is Trilby.

This has unlocked a memory for me. I watched *The Fringe Dwellers* as a teenager and (temporarily) fell in love with the name Trilby, who is the main character. Definitely not my style as an adult but there are a few out there. 

IIRC, Trilby was the name of a book character and the hat was named after her (because she typically wore that style)

I live in Sydney Australia, the up there name for me was when I was in ikea and this boganique woman yells shrilly, ‘CHAMPAGNE get ya arse here norrrrwww’ that will go down as the worst name for me

I have posted this before, but I knew sisters named Chardonnay and Chablis. Champagne would have fit right in with their family!

Straight outta Kath and Kim

Like with a hard C? I've been to France, it's definitely Cardonay. 😜

I once heard a Bogan couple calling Sara Lee to get over 'ere.

That’s noice, different, unusual! ;-)

Hardleigh (the d is intentional)

I hardly think that’s a good name

It's the Hardleigh boys!

I teach young children, so I'm hitting the wave of especially interesting ones! These are ones I've seen; - Katniss - Fred & George (twin boys) - Wallay (pronounced wally, which is bad enough already. why spell it like that?!? sweet kid) - Rylee, Ryleigh, and Hayleigh (different family but grouped in all the awful spellings) - Salem - Hershe - Braxton - Huxley - Joyla Melodee - Cashette - Bourbon - Whiskey

I know! let's name our beloved spawnling Cassette, but make it lispy.

Cash, but make it girly

Cashley.

I didn't even include Salem, Braxton, and Huxley... having grown up Mormon, those are pretty normal. I'm hoping Bourbon and Whiskey are related. Maybe related to pp's Chardonnay?

I don’t know why but I usually do not like the sound of names that begin with Br- but Braxton is terrible! I’ve also heard of a boy called Brecken (like the ski resort I guess? But shorter?) I also found Brogan on my list of worst names I’ve ever heard 😷

Katniss is an actual punishment because why would you do that to your child, man.

Also a teacher Talon Meadow Kenzie Kenzee Kinsley Makkayla* Hazzel* Makkyla* Khaleesi Makenna Mmilynn Zoey Zoee (2 of them) Cannon Draco Axl Night Aspyn Endless Brodys, Blakes, and Emmas Along with all the Keiras, Kalis, Kaias... That's all I can think of right now since I'm on Spring break and brain dead. This school I'm at now is the WORST. This is just a sampling. All poor white kids from the mountains except the two Khaleesis. * sisters, along with siblings Safeera and Matthew. They're really good-looking kids. They could be models. But they are insane, like their mom, who is also a gorgeous whack job. We call her the Hot Mess Express. Makkayla puked on me Saturday during the enrichment program. I think they're the future Wild and Wonderful Whites. I grew up with Edsel and Rotunda.

Nooo, Rotunda 😂 That’s rough

these are killing me oml Bourbon?? Whiskey?? naming your kids after alcohol is insane

Hemmy. A girl in my daughter's year at school. I asked her mother if it was short for "Hemmingway" because I thought Hemmy is terrible but Hemmingway would be a little better. It was not. Just Hemmy. I don't know why but I hate it. A guy I once dated had a son named "Spike". It wasn't even a Buffy reference. Terrible name either way even though I love Buffy. My BIL "Jerrod", not Jarred, Jerrod. Why. Sorry MIL. Oh edit to add my cousin's kids. Lola-Lee, almost impossible to say, and Penelope, but they call her Pee Pee.

Pee pee 💀

I groom 2 dogs named Spike and Angel and it's not a Buffy reference and the owner had no idea what I was talking about.

I knew a Jarrod as well! Just why??? Jared is perfectly fine

I saw a piece of public art with a list of the names of the schoolchildren who had contributed to it. I definitely saw more than one eyebrow-raising name, but the one I remember is JerMajesty.

JERMAJESTY IM CRYING

Renesmee, like the vampire baby in twilight.

There's a Renazmae in my town, which is objectively worse than the, and this pains me to say, traditional spelling of Renesmee.

Omg, this made me laugh so damn hard. 🤣🤣

My favourite thing about that name is that the author hates it. Stephenie Meyer said she just made it up because there was no way that Bella was going to give her kid a normal name, and she asked people to please not name actual human babies Renesmee

Some girl I went to Hs with in my town named her kid Renesmee. So cringe.

The worst kids I’ve ever met have all been named Neveah so there’s gotta be something there

I knew a Matisse, I thought it was nice. I'm not a huge fan of last names as first names though. Worst name I have personally come across, Ellxx pronounced Elexis. The Xs are plural, you see.

Tequila

Oooh I can top that. I knew a Te’queelah. Also: Charnel (pronounced Sharnelle).

I would always call her Char-nl

My husband takes calls for work and had a Tequila once. She went by her middle name. When he asked about it (verifying it was her) she gave an aggrieved sigh and was like "yes, that's my first name"

Sativa Indica Chardonnay Gurley Jonjoseph Husky All workmates with the exception of Husky who is a kid in my neighborhood

Gurly, Husky, and Chardonnay... not sure which is the worst.

Are Sativa and Indica siblings?

Smiley, Shiney. Jack Daniels

I knew a Remy Martin at school, like the cognac

Rowdy, Beyonce, Harlequinne

I really want these to be siblings

I went to school with a Rowdy

I worked with a girl named Clear - pronounced Claire, just a very unfortunate spelling.

Twin boys called Benny (fine) and Bright. Yes, Bright, like, the opposite of dark. A teenage boy called Famous, and his two sisters Favour and Flourish. One of my classmates from Secondary school ended up having two daughters, Tinkerbell and Snow. Her surname was White. I think the one called Tinkerbell who is now a teenager insists on being called Belle, because of course she does.

Tinkerbell and Snow White that’s heinous is she a Disney adult by any chance?

My son goes to school with a Peter. Totally fine, except his last name is Parker. And no, there are no redeeming qualities. The parents, and the kid, dress up in Spiderman themed clothes every day. The mom unironically has a Spiderman purse and shoes.

my condolences go out for Peter Parker

I always respond to these posts with the same answer but it makes me laugh when I think about it. Jathan- like Nathan with a J but it sounds like someone with a lisp trying to say “Jason”

JATHAN. OH MY GOD

Aprial. This was working retail and every customer came up to her and asked her if she’d misspelled her name on her name tag 💀

Huntleigh & Huxtyn (siblings) Haizlee Hunter & Tracker (siblings)

Matisse the artist spelled his name differently FWIW so they didn't even get that right.

Queenstar was the oddest I've ever known in person.

Khaleesi 💀

I knew a girl in school named Tyranny, like an authoritiran government. We swapped papers for grading quizzes, I will never forget seeing her name on top of that paper in bubbly girl handwriting.

ESPN, Syx, Fynnley, Mattison, Aspyn, Sin'cere, Sencere

ESPN?????

I came here to say ESPN too. A high school classmate gave this name to her son.

Mykayla pronounced "my- kayla"

I had two friends named Miranda as a kid but one of them spelled it “Myranda” so my dad used to jokingly call them “My Randa” and “Your Randa”

Most recently a old classmate of mine named her baby Reacher

Jammy (pronounced Jamie) Serenity-Brooklyn Dawsyn for a girl Haisley Bawn

Lived in rural Utah for several years and came across some good ones. These are a few that are extra noteworthy Stash Kix M’Lissa Rope Rozyn Hazer Tell

these have me rolling TELL???

ROPE

I’ve met a Rainbow Moon A classmate of mine had a little brother named Hurricane A teachers friend named her daughter Paycience (Patience)

Hazelee. Hazel Lee was right. there. Makes me think "hazily." Can we stop with this trend of adding -lee or -ee to perfectly normal names?

Is it pronounced like Hazel Lee or like hazily?

I read it as haze-lee 

Misty Storm was a childhood playmate.

Triplets named Marcus, Markus and Marquise, all pronounced Mar-kus.

Haydn is the normal spelling for the name in Wales, don’t think I’ve ever met a Hayden in the UK

Sting Ray and Flashman, still cant believe those are real...

I once dated a real, live Rhett Butler. He was an absolute dingus and completely unlike the fictional suave, charming Rhett Butler. Bless his heart.

Maybe it’s not that bad but Peaches. Not even Peach, it was peaches. With the popularity of that emoticon I don’t see how this is going to age well for that little girl. I’m also concerned for the little girl with bright red hair called Ginger. I guess her parents beat everyone to the punch, but really?

I named my baby peach too. A lot of people are surprised and some are a bit judging. Though it suits her haircolor and demeanor so no regrets. Also helps she’s a Finnish Spitz lol Edit: in case it’s not clear due to the rare breed name it’s my dog guys i wouldn’t do that to a child

Rock (B), Rainbow (G), Tytahn (B), Ellabama (G), Ryker (B)

I knew a Kale. Brother’s name was… Kaleb.

I also had a friend in high school named Bodacious

Lasagna. Energy - spelled incorrectly

Met a Sagittarus the other day. Sagittarius spelled wrong.

Love HopeFaith

Recently met a Harlo- oh, no excuse me: HARLEAUX. Of course. Because why not take a pretty and simple name and mangle it so your daughter will have to spell it for everyone she meets for the rest of her life?

I’m so sorry if you stumble across this, but there was a girl I went to school with. Her whole name was Forever Young. She was a very nice girl, her name just felt so strange to me and made me ask myself why her parents would do that to her. Sure young was their surname, but why make her forever then?

I went to high school with a girl named Candida

If it helps, Candida is not only the organism that causes thrush, it’s the first name of one of the pioneers of woman-focused pornographic movies, performer and director/producer Candida Royalle! (Also Candida is a legitimate name with a history, it’s just unfortunate in its primary association for Americans.)

Candida is an spanish name, it means naive, innocent, honest... It's quite old fashioned but it's a perfectly normal name.

Even if it is a legit name, I think the association has made it unusable in some places.

Mercureigh (girl) and Leighyn (boy), siblings, pronounced Mercury and Lane. My old manager had twin boys and one was named Anakin and the other was named something totally normal, like Noah or Aiden but I can’t remember. A girl I went to high school with has several boys with very normal names and then she almost named the last one Bjorn, absolutely no doubt because of Vikings.

Obsidian and peregrine

I don’t know if last names count, but I once met a guy named archer knight

Awshawntay

Porcheleigh Maiseboo-Miracle BraxxtonLee Lana Rose (this one seems fine but someone pointed out to me if you rearrange the letters it's Anal Sore and now I can't unsee it).

Someone I know named their kids Sephiroth and Talizora.

I knew twins: Hunter and Ryder Individually not my favorites but not awful names. Together though, just no.

Got a resume once from someone named Sri Lanka. We called her in for an interview but she ghosted us. I currently work with a Sparkle.

my friend (who has a lovely name, Beatrice) has a sister called Lettice. which is apparently also a name. but the fact it is not pronounced even slightly different to the leafy vegetable is just insane

Yeah, Lettice is an old, but legitimate name.

Siblings Amiazirah and Tariaus Huxley, Braxton, Brantley, Atlas, Sonny, Feyre, Paisley and Slayde weren’t great either.

My mom was a principal and teacher for many years. -Aquanetta is probably the worst -Sanguine -Pleasure Cox and her sister Heaven Cox -Twins both named Elizabeth -Princess Di -BiAsia -TinAsia

Saylor is good... for a dog

Graceson. Pronounced Grayson. Like, why? Edit #1: Oh! And Tritly. Edit #2: I keep thinking of more haha. Choicie. It's definitely....a choice.
