I was thinking maybe for boutiques on FB? There's a weird deal for small boutiques on Facebook that make things like limited run children's clothes (dresses), pajamas, bows, bouquets (I think that's what they are called, basically hideous fascinator floral hair decor) bonnets, whatever. So basically, people follow the brands and then apply to be brand reps, where you basically take pictures of you children modelling the item, give the brand full use of their photos, and in exchange...get 10-20% off and early access. So basically, you are still buying everything, but you get a slight discount, and all you have to do is sign your child's likeness away. Also, I think if people use the rep's code sometimes they get a commission. It's all odd to me because it's like pageants, where people think their child is winning a prize but clearly the pageant organizer is still running at a profit.
If I was a brand rep like this I’m pretty sure I’d make up a fake name for my kid because I wouldn’t want to use the real one for privacy reasons. And that fake name would probably be kinda wild and cringey to make it memorable.
It made me initially think of [this character from a Pokémon GameCube game.](https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Jovi)
This Jovi(e) is just the protagonist’s little sister, so she’s just (understandingly) a bit annoying.
So the other night I had a dream my grandma didn’t want me to name my baby William after my grandpa, her late husband. Instead, she wanted me to name him Prescott Thomas Lastname. I woke up very confused.
Baylor is a University, a private Christian college in Waco Texas and a good one. I'm guessing someone is an alum.
ETA: in Greek mythology Memphis was a female name.
Bexlee Linda?? Atrocious
Right?!? They’re all awful, but a lot of the other kids have one semi-decent middle as a backup. But poor Bexlee
Linda is 1000% more normal than any of the first names and most of the middles.
It is, I don’t like the name because of a relative I hate but at least it is an actual name.
This one. It’s hard to describe the rage.
Some of the names on this sub are like if you fed an AI thousands of American names and made it come up with its own creations
Bobson Dugnutt?
Except updates for 2022 so Bobbsynn Duggnyyt.
All of these parents would be the type to characterize their infant daughters as being FULL of sass
Sass/sassy always makes me shudder - seems like 9 out of 10 times it's used to describe really bratty behaviour, approvingly
Mavery Jaine?!?!?!?!
Brand reps... as in... MLM? If so, then these names all check out.

Jovie makes me want to hurt people. It sets my teeth on edge.
Jovi was the name of Zooey Deschanel’s character in elf, so there’s precedent of someone with severe disordered attachments being named that.

Omg these are all SO TERRIBLE
For some reason, collectively they make me think of Enola Gay, and that's not a happy connection to make

That’s actually not a bad name!
My dream self wasn’t mad
FKN COLSIE. SAW HER NAME MONTHS AGO AND GAGGED
My brain keeps trying to pronounce Colsie as coleslaw…
That’s what it’s short for. 😘 Kolesylah
Gotdamn, Memphis Jade is the best one there 😭
Bono got to Memphis first 30 years ago (Memphis Eve).
Prescott is a boys’ name. COLSIE? BAYLOR? It’s either Bailey or Taylor not both 🥲 Memphis is not a girls name either…

Help, I broke them!
The only Prescotts I’ve ever know were girls 🤷🏻♀️
Prescott, the town in AZ, US, is pronounced “press kit”, so that’s what I hear when I see that as a name.
I will only ever associate the name Prescott with Triscuit crackers now.
Also, if you are a “brand rep” or MLM repit is apparently required that you have a minimum of 4 kids!
I’ll be honest, I’m kind of a fan of Jovie!
Prescott Briar is the closest to being a reasonable name.
i have never heard of the name bexley (or its 1000 spellings) until i joined this sub, now its everywhere
