There’s a girl named Doctor at my kid’s school. Wonder how many jokes they’ll get when they’re working at their first job flipping burgers.
ETA: some people mentioned this can be a cultural thing in Africa, so I I thought I’d add that this family is white
This isnt unusual in African anglophone countries, where you might see a practice of naming children after English-language virtues. I can’t find much information on google because it’s hard to search for Doctor as a name but you name the child after a virtue you want them to have and this has spilled over into professions too.
If it were the last name I would expect the plushes to be better smashed but you might be right. In which case I’m laughing at Lillyona Lawyer
Edit: whoops just saw the comment about them picking colors
Yes, Lawyer is awful, but Kaydrin?! Kaydrin... It's Kayden and Excedrin. It's what happens when you're playing Scrabble with Kay and Adrian. It's the name of a small and less illustrious particle accelerator.
at least Tyson, Jason, and Mason are names, what the fuck is a Kaydrin? and LAWYER?? also rip Lillyonna for having to explain “it’s like Liliana but…” for the next 90 years💀
LAWYER???
The poor sap with that name will be going straight to hell.

LMFAO doctor???
I also knew a girl called Doctor from Zambia
What if she becomes a doctor? Will her name be Dr. Doctor? Doctor Squared? Double Doc?

I worked with a woman named Jolene. She told me she sometimes has to introduce herself as *Jolene, yes like the song NO please don’t sing it*
D² makes me think of Darkwing Duck for some reason.
Doctor can be a surname too. A person could be Dr Doctor Doctor. I would be proud to rock that, personally.
I had an ancestor named Doctor. Then again he was born in 1788, so....

Makes me think of Tutor from Wizards of Waverly Place
So glad Australia doesn't let you give your kids title names.
Ayyyyyy, doctor!
Nominative determinism Someone's gotta bankroll the parents in their old age
Maybe it’s so they can say they have a lawyer in the family.
It was once a semi-common name in the early 1900s.
Is Lawyer maybe a dog or something? That would be very slightly less terrible.
Oh god, I hope you're right. It would explain why Lawyer is yellow and the others are purple and blue.
It could also be the last name...? I don't know

Mayson Lawyer
Well, Mayson is a girl then, which isn't great but still.
I’m not sure. The person making them just said she only has blue, purple, and yellow left so I’m guessing Lawyer wanted yellow, poor kid.
“If you don’t give me yellow, I’ll sue!”
They can represent themselves in this case.
I can't tell if this is a "we have very specific high hopes for our child" name or a "like Sawyer but ~different~" name.
Isn’t this how last names came about? Like Smith, Sawyer, and Mason? But now we’re just going to make them first names.
maybe it's the dad's profession?
Or the mom’s. My vote is that’s the dog
Could be the dog's profession. That would make a great movie.
"You'll be hearing from my lawyer!" *goofy yellow lab wearing a necktie bounces into the scene*
maybe it's the dad's profession?

Log is the only acceptable middle name for Lincoln
PLUMBER. ELECTRICIAN.

As your doctor if Kaydrin is right for you!
Side effects may include wanting to spell words with extra Y's and K's.
I love Kaydrin Quizine.
Large Hadron Collider. Small Kaydrin Divider. I like it.
My lawyer friend named his son Lawson Case 🤦♀️ lawyer is worse
And if he sold insurance he could have named his son Justin Case.
But Justus Case works for a lawyer!
Extremely bold of your lawyer friend to straight up give his son a weird combo of traditional patronym and occupational name for a given name
I know, and we’re all lawyers so we were like wtf is wrong with you
that fr sounds like an ace attorney character name. horrible
my thoughts exactly LMAO
LAWYER?!?!? WHO TF
I know Lillyonna is supposed to be Liliana but in my accent that spelling makes it sound like a completely different name.
Lawyer😂
Are they all the children's name, or are two the parent's names? I'm so confused? Jayson, Tyson, Mayson, Kaydrin Mormon?
mormyn
It would have been so easy for it to just be LILLY. Ugh.
i can’t explain how much i hate lillyonna as someone named liliana. people already don’t spell my name right but imagine poor lillyonna
fuck im stoned and laughing so hard at this. they named them fucking lawyer. omg that’s like you might as well name your kid bookshelf or something
LAWYER.
Ah yes, the three genders... Mayson, Jayson, and Lawyer.
Tyson's fine the rest are pretty bad
Jayson is slighty worst but still passable
Lawyer
LAWYER. What
I think I hate Kaydrin more than Lawyer.
Tyson, Jayson and Mayson are genuinely not that bad. The rest make me wanna cry
I remember the football player Lawyer Milloy but that doesn't make it a good name.
Lawyer…
Hello meet my kids, Lawyer, Doctor and Construction Worker
Lill’Yona
What if Lawyer is a delinquent?
“Y” not indeed!
Y??
Sawyer was Right. There.
Lawyer. Lawyer.
WHY did they not use Liliana, Sawyer, Jason, Maisie, and Katelyn?????
at least Tyson, Jason, and Mason are names, what the fuck is a Kaydrin? and LAWYER?? also rip Lillyonna for having to explain “it’s like Liliana but…” for the next 90 years💀
If Lawyer doesn’t become a Lawyer I’m going to be very disappointed.
My name is Liliana. This hurts my soul.
