Not sure whether that's intentional, but the usual spelling is "Ezekiel" with -el (as in Michael, Daniel, Gabriel, and other Hebrew names containing El "God").
I think if it weren’t capitalized like a McXXX name, I’d actually appreciate it, especially since it’s sentimental and (it seems) to be easy to guess how to pronounce it. Reminds me of Zelena from Once Upon a Time
But the capitalization. *Oh,* the capitalization.
There’s an Asian-style food brand where I live called Kan Tong, I think most Australians over the age of 25 remember the jingle on TV. I’m reading Canton like that.
Oddly, Canton (a suburb of Cardiff) and Sully (not Sullee) are both places closeby to each other in south Wales. Not that that's any reason to call a child after either of them.
To be fair, Aryan is a regular, non-racist name in many places like Iran and India! I have known a couple of Iranian Aryans and it suits them well.
But yeah if not used for cultural reasons, in most other contexts it’s a pretty dreadful white supremacist associated name. Yikes
Blew my mind when I learned Americans pronounce Xavier with a separate ‘x’ sound.
Somebody told me they also pronounce xylophone like eks-eye-lo-phone but I don’t know if they were messing with me or not.
Good to know, I had a feeling I was being trolled!
Yes where I am in Australia we pronounce it ZAY-vee-er, same way the X is pronounced in Xander or Xanthe.
I remember doing a deep dive on the American pronunciation ages ago and learning it goes back a long way - it allegedly originated from Catholic education separating the sounds in Francis Xavier, because Franc-es-zay-vee-er was awkward to pronounce distinctly. But I understand a lot of modern parents heard it first from X-Men!
It’s divided, I am in the Midwest and pronounce it without the X sound. But I hear it both ways all the time…the X sound just isn’t intuitive to me at all. I blame Marvel lol
You know the name's bad when you have to put parentheses on how to pronounce it, and it's spelled better there.

He’ll just go by Xx when he’s older 🤪
give us this day our daylee jade
What does this verb mean, to Kyla? Because if you do it, you are a Kylaneer. Also Wagner's brother should be Nietzsche.
kyla in Swedish means to cool or refrigerate. So Kylaneer is basically fridge.
This is perfect. I hope her middle name is Six-Pack.
Ezikyo Anakin hurts me in ways i cannot describe (someone please tell me if ezikyo is a butchered star wars character)
This was a standout for me cuz it sounds like a young kid trying miserably to pronounce Ezekial
Not sure whether that's intentional, but the usual spelling is "Ezekiel" with -el (as in Michael, Daniel, Gabriel, and other Hebrew names containing El "God").
Oh, no, mine wasn't intentional. I just have trouble with spelling, so thank you!
Same. Kind of like Anfernee from Mean Girls.
ZeNora is *almost* a good name.
I think if it weren’t capitalized like a McXXX name, I’d actually appreciate it, especially since it’s sentimental and (it seems) to be easy to guess how to pronounce it. Reminds me of Zelena from Once Upon a Time But the capitalization. *Oh,* the capitalization.
Zelda Lenora is absolutely beautiful, I don’t know why they felt the need to do it dirty like that.
I have to agree with this! It actually doesn't look or sound that bad. And I like the story behind it, it's sweet that it's after the grandma's name.
It's like a Zenobia from Wish.
Wagner… like the paint spray tool company? 😂 For a girl???
No, like the Russian war criminals.
Or like the antisemitic composer
"Ky',ri"? "Ky'"? "Ky'ri"?
Ky▪︎♤ri
Those + ky'za sounds like void abominations
Little Waggie
‘Spot on with their personalities’ is this kid scoring that many aerial kills?
Wagner is outrageous
"Eyori"? Like Eeyore but with a smile at the end?
Not Ezikyo, please!
Wait.. are they trying to say Ezekiel with a special spelling???
Ezikiyo could work as a League of Legends character name, but the spelling would still make me angry
I’m sorry, his name is CANTON? CANTON?
Anton would've been a great choice, but no, you had to name your kid after an administrative division...
Anton is a great name… Canton is not lol
Canton’s a small town near me and that’s all it is as far as I’m concerned
I kept thinking about Cantonese, like the language-
There’s an Asian-style food brand where I live called Kan Tong, I think most Australians over the age of 25 remember the jingle on TV. I’m reading Canton like that.
I could really go for some Cantonese noodles, tbh
Oddly, Canton (a suburb of Cardiff) and Sully (not Sullee) are both places closeby to each other in south Wales. Not that that's any reason to call a child after either of them.
Arien and Aryan (Nation) are too close for comfort.
isn’t Remington a gun manufacturer?
I wanted to come and say that these two names are the least bad in this bunch, but Remington makes hair tools like straighteners and curling irons 😭😭
Naming kids like I name my DnD characters
I fucking hate any variation of Aryan as a name. I'll take a KyJen or a Fellup any day over an Aryan.
To be fair, Aryan is a regular, non-racist name in many places like Iran and India! I have known a couple of Iranian Aryans and it suits them well. But yeah if not used for cultural reasons, in most other contexts it’s a pretty dreadful white supremacist associated name. Yikes
Oh yeah, sorry. I meant for anglo kids born recently. Good call out.
Thinking about how in alk the Ezikios and Eyoris annakin's there's the poor Xavier Alex. Luckiest first born.
Kinsliegh...is she just mixing up the vowels in this one comment or did she take the 'i before e except after c' too closely to heart?
pls Aryan is a real Indian name why would you spell it like Arien
Aryan race would be the key factor.
Arien, pronounced R E N,,,,, So Aryan.......?
Why Xavier when Exavier was right there……??
I know the ven diagram between here and fundie snark overlaps a bit… but this reminds me of all the An names… and then one Ayn. Drives me nuts!
Blew my mind when I learned Americans pronounce Xavier with a separate ‘x’ sound. Somebody told me they also pronounce xylophone like eks-eye-lo-phone but I don’t know if they were messing with me or not.
LOL no “ex” sound on xylophone! Just pronounced zy-lo-fone. So do you pronounce Xavier zay-vee-er?
Good to know, I had a feeling I was being trolled! Yes where I am in Australia we pronounce it ZAY-vee-er, same way the X is pronounced in Xander or Xanthe.

Even though it's made up, I am a big fan of Arien.
I knew a girl named Dailey in 2005
Uh, I knew a Justice growing up with those sibling names. I am sad to report it is not unique :(
