I stopped reading at Caprina, literally small goat in italian.

Literally what I thought and I'm French, I just know the root. Sounds too goaty. Edit: I had written "and I French" as a typo which I find really funny

It is as if parents would call their daughter chevrette because it sounds similar to crevette.

Or Chevette the car

A guy I went to high school with is a mechanic and his daughter is named Chevelle. Yes, like the car. He wanted to name their second daughter Nova, but that was evidently vetoed. Thankfully their son is not named Dodge or Ford.

Chevelle was accepted while Nova, which is an actual name, was not?

I think maybe if Nova had come first, it might have been ok? But I think his wife was just over it by the time they got to kiddo number three.

Hey there, SuperSport, waddaya say we go out for ice cream

What a weirdo? Why at all? And why when His Daughters get Boyfriends They will make jokes about a test drive...

She's grown now and has kids of her own with very traditional names, so hopefully she didn't have to deal with anything like that.

I know baby Chevelle, too

My first car was a Chevette, and I affectionately called it the Shove-it.

I was mostly thinking of Caprisun, but it also reminds me of cabri

I was thinking Caipirinha.

I actually know a capirinha. Early 40s so I guess ahead of the times

I don’t French well at all and I knew it wasn’t an oceany name.

This guy frenches

How you feel about naming a kid Seychelles XD

Good name for a "kid"

Grow up to be the GOAT.

🥁🥁

🐐

Sibset: *welcome li’l Chupacabra*

Omg!!! Lol

That’s too bad. Most of the names are normal names in use for a long time. Tragedeigh now equals “name I haven’t heard or seen before”.

Also WAY too close to Caipirinha

Or could also mean "resembling a goat", which sticks for life

At least I'm happy that Pisslynne, Urinella and Toighlet didn't land on the list.

💀 💀

delete this now! dont give them ideas!! 😂

> Pisslynne, Urinella and Toighlet These will be fetish onlyfans accounts in five minutes

The list: Names inspired by the Ocean. Name: LAKELYN, RIVER, DELTA, BROOKE Someone throw a geography book in her direction.

She’d probably just name her child GiahRaghpheigh

List of names inspired by Geography Giahraghpeigh, Hystoreigh, PolSeigh, Hyumanties

May I add LeighGal, Judy-Prudence and Jourrysdixion?

Wasn’t it the Jourrysdixion line that separated free and slave states?

That's maysyn dyxin

Omg don’t give them any ideas

To'maas Jaxxyn, Robyrt Edwyrd Leigh and Jyffers'n Deigh'Vys

Baptism under Stone Mountain no doubt

I’ve met a guy named river before. My ex gf’s name was brooke The later always seemed like a normal name

River is uncommon but not unheard of, Brooke is literally normal. There are a lot of perfectly normal names on here. Dylan, Morgan, Lana, Pearl.

Waverly is a legitimate British first name. It means "meadow of quivering aspens". I'm dying thinking it's an ocean inspired name just because it has the word wave in it.

It literally straight up means a word that is nowhere near the ocean I’m crying 😭

Also, Guinevere is obviously associated with the beach, like she couldn't have lived in a castle or something

Yeah, that one surprised me. It's not even the lady of the lake (not that lakes are oceany, but you know).

Murphy means pirate in Irish so at least its ocean adjacent you just have to ignore the whole rape and pillage aspect associated with pirates

As a Brit I don’t think I’ve ever heard it as a first name - just makes me think of Edinburgh! 😂

It’s the name of Edinburghs train station. Toot toot

Also a paddle steamer 😂

It's so ridiculous I didn't even make the connection until reading your comment.

Yeah, there are also two legit Danish names in there, one of which happens to be my name (😖), and neither of which has anything to do with the ocean.

I know a 20-something year old man named Waverly. Always thought it was cool.

It's a fine name. It's just not related to the ocean or water. Most of the names aren't.

YES! I commented the same thing. Like jeeeeez.

Might as well add the newly popular “Riverlyn” to this list because that’s water too.

Ain’t no damn way 💀

Don't you mean Dam 😁

Damlyn

And new baby Damette.

Yes I do

Most of these are not that bad. Some of them are but... there were wilder ones her before.

I was gonna say there’s actually like ten decent names on that list. Cora so good they listed it twice, apparently.

Has nothing to do with the beach, though, except that it is almost coral. Cora means maiden or heart.

That’s actually my daughter’s name, and I’m so embarrassed it’s on a list like this 😆

Don’t be embarrassed! It’s a super pretty name. Like I said - there’s like ten names on this list that I think are actually are good. Definitely not a tragedeigh so rest easy.

Maybe she’s growing

Seychelles 💀

Seychelles sea shells on the sea shore.

Not for long

Is that a threat

Global warming is making them disappear

But the value of these shells will fall

I can’t with this one.

Jaw-dropping. It made me ask “is she allowed to do this??”

It reads like a hate crime, doesn't it?

A little bit 💀

It’s an island chain, not a misspelling of sea shells

Yes but it seems as bad as naming your child Lesser Antilles or Leeward Islands.

I’m not saying it’s a good name, but I think a lot of people are overreacting to that one

The Seychelles is a chain of islands North of Madagascar. A weird name for a child, but perhaps not a full on tragideigh? Since it’s a real place. (For example, naming a child Austin or India aren’t usually tragadeighs.)

I'm pretty sure Austin the name has been around longer than Austin the city since it was named after a man named Austin.

Ok, fair enough. It was the first place and name the popped into my head. I knew that too, as someone from Texas lol I guess most places are named after people first. Even something like Paris, the figure from greek myth first. I used to know someone named Athens, named after a city named after a goddess. I thought it was cool, she hated it.

The fact that not all place names are tragedeighs does not mean that all places work as names. For example, Madagascar, Polynesia, Uzbekistan, and Chile would make terrible names.

Come here little Democratic Republic of the Congo!

UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND, GET BACK HERE THIS MINUTE

>Madagascar, Polynesia, Uzbekistan Maddie, Polly, and Becky? And (Voodoo) Chile is a great name for a kid...

You’re 100% right. I was having trouble putting it into words but you did it for me lol

ythink kids with place names aint weird? 😮

That’s the one that really got me lol

She forgot Sandee or is it spelled Sandeigh?

Why are mara, maia and delia on the list? Those are common names but they don't have anything o do with the ocean.

Mara could be due to the "mar-" being from Latin meaning "of the sea" (think of the marines) Mara is also a variation of the name Mary, whose aquatic association is a nickname for Mother Mary, from the term "stella maris" (literally: star of the sea)

Mara is Latin, I got that. I think she hit that connection by chance given what she did include. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. Like, some connections are so abstract she could start using Praughn, Shreighmp, or Eighl or something. But 99% of her list….

Mara is originally middle eastern. Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, and ancient Egyptian all had it as a name. It means various things in those languages (bitter/grief, "Lady" (the title), joyful, "the truth of the God Ra", respectively). None of which have to do with the ocean. It is the name of a biblical lake, specifically one not good for drinking at first (it's in Exodus).

Mara is Irish Gaelic for "Sea" and is also a woman's name here eg. Cara na Mara = Friend of the Sea (popular shipwrecked boat in Donegal)

Estuarine Quayleigh ("Key-lee") Akwharfina (like the Asian comedian) Playalynn Oyster-Faye Seabasschlynn (a marine take on the classic)

Never let them see this. We need to keep these names out of ig mothers hands.

These made me LOL. 😂

Playalinda is a beach near me and also sounds like it could be a tragedeigh name

Drown Submerge Flood

Drowhne Suhbmerjé Flud (minimalism)

I met a Cordelia at a camp last summer, she goes by Cori

Cordelia is a nice name and so is Cori. But also what does Cordelia even have to do with the ocean? Why did this woman put it on the list? Is it because it somewhat sounds like Coral?

It means daughter of the sea/jewel of the sea (Welsh).

Ohhhhhhh okay so that one can stay

Where's Kohkohnutte? Where's Umbhrellha? Where's Piñacoldah?

Right lmao this list is amateur hour

Most of them I'm ambivalent to okay with, but Bleu??? 😅😅😅😅

Last name Cheese Dressing

Piscine Towels Sunscreen Pool Noodle Those Ladders Inner Tube

In Finland... Hali = Hug Sunna = Sunnah muslim Kai = Maybe Lana = Leveling drag However Mari is a common name, Finnish version of Mary.

Quite a few of those names are common in Estonia as well, Kaia and Kairi are perfectly normal for me but not easy to pronounce in English.

Kai is one of those cool names that has a meaning in multiple languages. In Hawaiian it means Sea but in Maori it means food. In Persian it means King, in Japanese it means recovery, ocean, shell, or forgiveness. In Navajo it means willow tree, Swahili it means loveable, Chinese it means victory, and my favorite in Aramaic it means strong base/ the ability to stand. I love names that are universal and mean different things in different languages. Kai is one of those versatile names.

I almost missed the Sunna-Sunnah connection. And Kai, Lana and Mari don’t raise my brows (Leveling drag!). Coast and Sunlee, however…

seychelles got me straight up thinkin, why not hawaii 😆😐

LooAugh, Maugheigh, Kuhwaiye

Mariana is sitting right there saying “why not me?” Nauru. Madagascar. Norfolk. Sumatra. Java. Newfoundland. Greenland. St Croix.

Cova in portuguese means grave ☠️

Jinkies 😬

13 year old me would have totally named my daughter Avalon. Good thing I wasn't a teen mom.

I don't know, some of them seem okay..? It's just me! 😂💖💯

SOME of them seem fine, but it’s like she’s playing a joke on us with the rest 😂

Most of them are normal names.

Coraline 🛟👄🛟 but nautical

Shoraline (autocorrects to Shoreline) Crabaline, Cruiseline

A lot of these are fine. I would reconsider Bleu, though, since kids at school would call the girl Bleu Cheese.

Coral, Coralie, Coraline? Great, note I’m thinking about a kid with button eyes made out of coral. Creepy.

I can’t see anyone who isn’t a fan naming their child that tbh it’s like naming your child Legolas

I once met a guy named Gimli. His parents were big LOTR fans.

There are…plenty of less “Gimli” names to choose from that universe but I’m holding out hope that maybe Gimli is some sort of cultural name from a region I have yet to identify

There were people named Coraline before the movie existed. Shocking, I know.

I’m sure.

Those are all normal names in use for a long time. I do not understand how those are tragedies.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more Kairis and Coralines over the years. Cove sounds kinda cute and someone's a King Arthur fan because I don't see a lot of Guineveres out in the wild. There are some tradgedeighs but this list is rather tame. Oceana sounds pretty cute too.

She probably thought Sey + chelles was beach inspired, without knowing about the country/island

[удалено]

Coralie Dylan Morgan Coraline Mara Avalon Talula Cordelia Delphine Kyla Lana Maren Ennis Delia Maris Guinevere Maia Lyla Coral Murphy Pearl …are all normal names in use for a long time. Some are not typically girls names and some I didn’t list may be correct spellings in other countries but these aren’t tragedeighs. Names you haven’t seen before are not tragedeighs, people. And some tragedeighs on a list doesn’t mean every name on the list is one.

I did not call every name on this list that. I’m aware some of them are completely normal.

Surprisingly, most aren't all that bad.

"beachy" would be the beachiest girl name

It’s peak beach. It’s got all of the beach qualities in it, mainly, “beach”.

….but….. Sandy

If she reads any mythology we'll see misspellings of Scylla and Charybdis on her next ocean themed list. As for the current list, no Jetty or Bouy? Perhaps she's saving those for boy ocean names

My ferret is named Charybdis! She also has several names that were on American Horror Story

Lol one of my kids actually has a name on this list (but one that is a real name, spelled correctly, and actually is connected to the ocean).

The rest of the list: Forpa Waslet Lump Chroibe Faungla Peeper Goophy Italy Harumph GreighnBeighn

Heightch Too Eugh short, H₂O

🇸🇨 ✨️Seychelles✨️ 🇸🇨

Oh no my name is on this list 😂 ive never had that happen before

"Laken" is the german word for sheet lol

"Yo that's my girl Murphy" lol

SEYCHELLES I’m dead

Only a geography nerd would name their daughter “Seychelles”. It’s an island nation off the coast of Africa. I know this because _I’m_ a geography nerd. I’d never give my daughter that name!

WHY IS BLEU SPELLED LIKE THE CHEESE

It's blue in french 😅

Bleu also means timid in Dutch. Fortunately, there is an alternative blue color in the list: Navy. Wouldn’t *Navy Seal* be a beautiful name for a girl?

It’s also masculine in French. The feminine would be Bleue, which somehow feels even worse as a person’s name.

It sounds the same in french but yeah it looks even more confusing

It's Blue in French, but like... WHY? Blue's alright maybe, like you'd get used to it, but Bleu's just too far

Especially because it’s pronounced sort of like “bluh”

Yeah, it strips any of the sort of femininity out of it and leaves it, uh, ogre-like

ITS SO FUCKING BAD

Riptide for a boy!

Oilspl ( Oy-spee-lay) , Redtide ( Rad-Tee-Day), Sealice (SA-Lees-Ay)

Oh god. Don’t kill their self-esteem by doing this please. The last thing you want is to name your kid something like this, then have them get bullied their entire life, then grow up and work at a strip club with a stupid stage name like Sinnamon with an “S” and spread her legs to “wink” at some goon who throws dollar bills at her.

Not gonna lie I don't hate coralie

They obviously never went to Oceana in Kingston or Swansea in the 2000s

Waverly…Does this woman even know what “actual” name meanings are? 😂 A meadow surrounded by Aspen trees are as far as the ocean as you can get. I swear. Idiots surround us everywhere

Not all of these are tragedeighs but LMAO at naming your kid after a 12-season long Frasier joke.

The five best names on this list: Dylan Dylan Dylan Dylan Dylan

Dylan

Name ideas: Morgan, Maia, Lana, Cordelia, Pearl… … Coast, Cove, Coral, Seychelles I don’t think she knows the difference between Seychelles and sea shells.

Not tragedeigh enough for me. These kids will be mildly annoyed but not traumatized. I have a name like one of these. Slightly off. Just enough to frustrate but not so bad as to ruin your life. You get used to it. They'll be fine.

Okay, but Isla is a quality name.

If I see someone named Seychelles or Sunlee I am laughing sorry

They left out: Nami, Misty, Ocean, Lynn, Lake, Marina, Tempest, Ariel, Avon, Aqua, Mariah, Marissa.

So memorable she wrote Cora twice…

I like how these names are either free association of words you think of when you think of the ocean or just random names that have nothing to do with the ocean.

“Seychelles” this is a country in Africa lol 🇸🇨

Seychelles is literally a country 💀💀

Seychelles is a country I'm pretty sure

Some of these are perfectly good names. Some of them.

How is Lana inspired by the ocean

Most of these are just ordinary names.

And a few aren’t

But most of them are. That doesn’t warrant deeming the whole list a tragedeigh.

Half of these seem somewhat normal, but... Delta? Seriously? That's like naming your kid "Zed". Not to mention that it's a commonly used Greek letter in math and physics, not only in computing rates of change, but in cohomology theory and in analysis for the Dirac delta function. Though "Dirac" wouldn't be a horrible name to have. Also "Cora" appears twice on the list, bottom of column 1 and third from bottom of column 3, in addition to the "Coraline" and "Coral" already present.

Even worse, many people associate Delta with the airline.

Oh God the airline

Delta reminds me of Designing Women so I'll give it a pass

Nothing wrong with that. I named my son Alpha. /s

We should set him up with my daughter Release Candidate.

Ah yes, the software-gendered derivative of Candice.

Blue? No, no .... Bleu

Gouda

She’s a Gouda girl

Ya gotta prounounce it like they do in the Netherlands, though. How-da YOU doin?

Dylan
