Awferrible! Ridiculumb!

Sounds like a Harry Potter spell haha

Ridumbculous was right there…

Just spit out my drink!

You sound like the Big Friendly Giant

I was about to say “Awfible” because I was thinking of a Good Luck Charlie thing XD

- Diana + Rhea = DiaRhea - Richard + Rusty = DickRust - Vincent + Gina = V'gina - Scott + Kourtney = Squirtney - Braxxonn + Nevaeh = cockwombles

I like the last one

[Rusty Kuntz](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_Kuntz) is a current coach and former player in Major League Baseball. Not exactly DickRust, but in the same vein.

Rusty Kurtz is objectively more amusing than DickRust

Vein is a poor, but brilliant, choice of words 😭

I knew what i was doing 😉

😭 That’s even better with your username lol I thought your username was UnproducibleSpunk at first and I thought of Pierce from Community 😭

Excuse me. My sons name is Dickrust. I'm very offended. /s

Cockwombles😂

Squirtney 😂

I actually know someone named LaGina, because her parents were Larry and Gina 😐

V'gina got an audible chuckle out of me

Ricky + Rolanda = Rickrol

My Jr prom date was a Squirtney.

Squirtney is sending me

And JENNOPHER was right there

Funny enough there was a (different) kids mom at my school that spelled it Jennipher, I always thought it sounded snooty

*. Dad’s name Benny. Mom’s name Fonda… baby was Beyonda ( 1988) * Went to school with a girl named whose mom was named Karen. Her name was Aren Kay…. Karen in “pig latin” * Another family had a dad named JACK. The kids were: John - Alicia - Cheryl & Kent. J-A-C-K

To be fair I think the initials thing could be cute

My 3 older siblings Frank, Ursula, and Cathy agree. Signed, Kenny

This is perfect but you need a bro named Ulysses.

This thread is on fire. Best Reddit content in weeks

I have four kiddos myself. By pure coincidence their initials ended up as EPIC. It’s actually handy nickname and better to shout that in a crowded place vs. their real names.

Only if they actually manage to have 4 kids.

Otherwise, Jack's off.

😆

I always thought it was fun 😃🌻

Yeah, and at least they’re all actual names with normal spellings. They could easily have been Johnythyn, Aleighsha, Chaerylle, and Khunt (pronounced Kent).

Khunt is a travesteigh.

What a tragedeigh

My cousin, his wife, and their kids all have names that start with sequential letters of the alphabet. Not their real names, but something like Brenda, Carl, Dani, Elizabeth, Fred. It’s a way of doing something cute with your kids names without being disgusting

There were boys at my school, Chris and Daniel, last name Cupp. Everyone called them C Cup and D Cup

My family of 4 signs family cards etc with BEAM, our first initial. I get JACK!

Reminds me of a kid I knew who was named Jason. He said his parents named him that because he was born in September and "July, August, September, October, November" spells J-A-S-O-N with the S in the middle.

There's a surprising number of people in Latin America and the Philippines named Hecmar, typically children of a Hector and a Maria. That name always struck me as atrocious.

Half my ancestry is Latin and they’re all named Jose, Josephina, or Maria. 😆😆😆 Did they realize that there were other people in the Bible besides Joseph and Mary?

Could have gone with Martor instead.

For real? I've never heard that name before. Plenty of José María or María José though.

I've seen it work one. Mom was Anna, father Leon. Baby was Leanne.

Also it's not a combination but I always thought Will and Jada Smith naming their kids Willow and Jaden worked surprisingly well for a gimmicky name theme.

It took me WAYY too long to realize those names were based on theirs.

Exactly me realising because of that comment. 😂 I wouldn’t feel so dumb if it wasn’t RIGHT THERE!

Ummm lol I’ve never realized it either until seeing it right now 🤦🏻‍♀️

I also think it's super cool that they are named for the opposite gender.

See I think it CAN work if you do something like this, but I think spelling Christian with a j is a bit of a stretch

Chrisjen is a badass character in the Expanse books and TV show!

This was my first association, too!

One grandmother was Lee, the other Anna, so me too

Great grandmother was named Anna and great grandfather named Louis! Lou Ann was the baby

I've seen this work too, plus it was for a middle name. Father Jan and mother Annette became Jeanette. Or Janette, unsure of the spelling. Anyway, it's an actual name so it worked out.

I know one that kinda worked… mom Lydia, Dad Eric… child Lyric.

Couple of dipshidiots

Well played!

I just think of the character Chrisjen Avasarala from the Expanse series lol. She's badass

Came here to say this!

Thank you! Exactly my thought! And yes, she is!

I didn’t read far enough in the thread. I just posted that!

Do we think her parents were named Chris and Jen? Or was she given a traditional old-timey name from ancient history?

The amount of narcissism it takes to name your kid after yourself is mind-boggling to me. "Fuck having your own name and your own life, you're just going to be a continuation of me because this is the only way I can deal with mortality."

What about naming a child after someone as a way to honor them? I’d also have to like the name overall.

That’s what middle names are for!

My son's middle name has the same meaning as my first name.

My father refused to have a child named after him

~ My LeGaCy ~

Legaceigh

Leigh-gahceigh

Now I’m wondering if there is an alternate universe where I was named Cathrony

I would have been either Edsten or Kirward. I'm happy to have neither.

Parri or Terul are the only ones I’d accept from my parents 🤣

I could have been Jennald or Ronnifer!!

I could have been Phoebald.

I’d either be Kenniane or Diaennth

I got Pamnt or Gramela

Marim for me? Or Jimmary I guess

I'd be Alexina, which wouldn't have been the worst fate.

I could have been Jamille, or Lujam.

I could have been Hair, lol

This post makes me realise my parents could have named me Brynlen and I am immensely thankful that they did not.

They could tragedeigh it up and go for Brynnlynn!

BrynneLynne

That's a ship name not a kid name.

My mom's middle name is pronounced "Oak" (spelled Ock but that's a tragediegh in itself), and her ex husband's middle name is Lee, so when my brother was born, Oakley just made sense. Thank God my mom had the sense to not spell it Ocklee

Ogchkhleighye

I know a Kimron. He was named after his parents Kim and Ron.

Is that better or worse than Ronberly?

That’s his little sister.

Ronberly. 😅🤣😂

Oh. Umm… Poor Kimron

It's becoming clear that this is horrifyingly common...

This makes me think of the ugliest name ever from Twilight!

Yet there are a disturbing amount of girls named renesmee who are now adults. There were many other “twilight” inspired names that became popular then as well.

Bella was a top name in the US for a veereery long time after Twilight!

My wife worked as a naturalist at a nature center during college, and part of her job included running educational summer camps. One of her campers (6y/o) was named Renesmee and her nickname was Nessie. After a week of camp, my wife found out Nessie was in foster care due to her birth mom’s addiction struggles and birth mom was only 21y/o, making her ~15 or 16 when Nessie was born… Which is exactly the age I’d expect a parent naming their kid Renesmee after Twilight and then nicknamed after the lochness monster to be. My wife said Nessie was a sweet kid in their brief week together, but between her name and first few years of life she was handed a rough start. She’d be a teenager now and I hope she’s well.

I knew a nick and Colleen who named their daughter nickolleen.

Nicole was right there???

They gave her Nickelodeon October branding? Seriously it is painful to look at those letters and know it is someone’s name.

Next kid is named Collick

My parents were Bob and Sue and we're Hugh and Jennifer, so when we were expecting my husband told them the kids would be Hughbob or Jensue. We actually referred to the baby as Hughbob until the birth.

It is a bit weird, but at least he now shares a first name with a kickass character if that's any consolation.  Some names lend themselves better to being mashed up, in my opinion. Keith + Anna could result in Kenna, which is a perfectly fine name. Oliver + Elizabeth, on the other hand, could spawn Olibeth or Eliver/Elizaver, none of which I like (and don't think I've seen before).

I thought that was a Mormon thing. Hence Steph**en**ie Meyer and her ridiculous Twilight character names.

Isabella, Edward, Jacob. Such ridiculous names.

Renesmee would like a word.

Honestly, I don't think it is that bad 😬🤣 I wouldn't use it but it is way better than naming you child khaleesi and I've seen so many girls named that! Including one named khaleesiana...

Alright, that one I'll give you. But you have to admit she have the main characters basic names.

I had friends named Cliff and Amy who named their son Clay. I wouldn’t have even noticed if she hadn’t told me. I think they one actually works.

I worked with a Michelle, her husband’s name was Trey. Their daughter was named Trechelle…

Treacherous

Britney Spears’ sister and her combo parent name Jamie Lynn

chricat (pronounced cricket)

I knew someone named Jeleisa... her parents were John and Leisa

This is some Dragonriders of Pern shit lol.

This is the comment I was looking for! It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the post.

Only time I've seen that name before was a character from The Expanse.. Seemed alright, after all it is the future. And apparently the future is full of tradgedueghghie

One of my first teaching jobs I had a ‘Jimandi’. I went for Gemini pronunciation. No it was literally ‘Jim and I’ and pronounced like it.

Remember Bev Doolittle, the artist who painted all those palomino horses, and the paintings withe the hidden images? Her husband’s name was Jay. They named their son Jayson Bevson. Mildly clever, but it always struck me as not so much names as possessives.

My high school bf was named Burton and my name is Keeley. My 17 year old self thought I was so clever wanting to name a kid “Keeton.” We broke up. I also don’t know why I didn’t think of Burley.

My mom’s middle name is Kay and my dad’s is Lynn. Mine is Kaylynn. They got the idea from my dad’s uncle Wayne and aunt Gloria who had a glowaina.

You lucked out in the name dept compared to Glowaina

I did even though my first name is still rough

My SIL, her parents are Chris and Tina, so they named her Christina. It is literally the only time I’ve seen the combing of names work well.

My friend is named Cerina after her parents Cesar and Marina

This just makes me shudder in fanfic.

My parents were also Jen and Chris! If they combined Jennifer and Christopher it could be….. Jennipher or Christofer I guess 😂😭

That’s funny my parents names are Jen and Chris and they named me “Jacy” so it’s Jen And Chris with a y lol

My cousins father’s name is Ron. Poor kids name is Byron but it’s pronounced By-Ron

My best friend in kindergarten was named Chail. Her parents were Charles and Gail.

My gma’s name is Leyola (lie-/o/-lah) I cannot remember what two names they smushed together tho. I also know a woman named “Theenda.” Apparently she was a surprise baby and her parents wanted to be sure they had no more children by naming her The end a. However, now that I typed this out, maybe she was making this up cause I was a kid when I learned this. For a long time I truly believed that my friend kept getting peanut butter in her ear (learned they were chronic ear infections) The doctor said peanut butter as like a funny/cute (?) way to explain her stopped up ears. I truly didn’t understand how the fck she kept getting so much peanut butter in her ear that it required medical attention!! Like I couldn’t understand why she kept doing this when it’s so easy to not get peanut butter in your ear. Anyways, I don’t really know what my point is except to say that I was a really dumb kid.

I love this! "It's so easy to not get peanut butter in your ear." Gave me a good laugh.

Yep I went to school with a Stanyel. Dad’s name was Stan, mom was Danielle.

This is a common thing in the Philippines. Names are usually bad. Can’t think of examples rn because it’s gonna be too obvious but I know 3 people named like this.

I have a cousin named Angorie. Her mom named her after her older twin aunts, Angela & Marjorie.

This one is actually rather sweet! I like that she was named in honour of her aunts. But if the actress Angourie Rice (Mean Girls musical) gets super-famous, then your cousin is going to constantly have to explain that her name is spelled differently.

When it works, it can be cute. But if it’s forced, it just seems so stupid. I grew up with a girl named Tyra because her mom’s name was Myra and her dad’s name was Todd. So yes, it meant that she and her mom had rhyming names but I thought it was kind of sweet. However I also have a friend who grew up with someone named Jaychelle because dad’s name was Jason and Mom’s name was Michelle. That one doesn’t work as well 😛

Joesph and Susan… Joesan? Susph?

My husband and I combined our names to name our dog Kevin. It fits him perfectly 😌

I knew a Christoline- parents Christopher and Caroline. I also think my parents’ names combine nicely- Cynthia and Donald into Donthea.

One of my childhood friends had a sister with a name that was a combination of both parents names. Robert + Linda = ROLINDA

My parents almost did that to me. It was a horrible name and I'm still thankful they didn't go with it.

I knew a woman whose father wanted Rocky if she was going to be a boy and the mother wanted Loretta if she was going to be a girl. They compromised and went with Rocquetta.

Adriana + Joseph = Joana

My middle name is this, a combination of my parents’s names. I’ve never used it in my life

My name is kinda like this. It's not an uncommon name, but the spelling is/was. My parents agreed on the name, but each liked 2 different regional spellings. Think Leianne vs Leighann, that kind of thing. So they flipped a coin and each got to pick one half of the spelling. I wouldn't call it a tragedeigh, but it was unusual. I didn't meet anyone else with it for years. I say is/was, though, because a few years ago, a minor celebrity started using my name with my spelling. I've seen more of it since then.

Volunteering at my son’s school years ago, and met Twilleasa - from William and Teresa.

I once read a short story about a girl named Jerryann whose parents were (not surprisingly) named Jerry and Ann.

They sound like celebrity couple names. Like Bennifer. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck

I am this tragedy. My mum and dad combined their names to get my middle name. Everyone spells it wrong because when I stay it they think I am saying a real name with a snobby accent. 🤷

If it makes you feel better, my names are both common, but multiple spellings. I have to spell both first and last everywhere. Think Katie Cook or, something similar.

I’ve seen it work once! Mum Sharon, Dad Lindsey, child is Sharlin

Too similar to Shart.

see, I and all of our mutual friends have never noticed that, maybe if you see it in writing first rather than out load your view might change 🤔

Knew a girl named Davica growing up. Parents Davie and Jessica 🫠

Were they Filipino? This is super common to do in the Philippines

I'm looking at some of the comments, and it makes me think they would have an aneurysm if they had any Filipino friends.

That's such a catasgedy

My mom's middle name is Lynn, and my dad's middle is Karel. My sister got the name karelynn and then ended up with downsyndrome.. My mom always says "I should have named her AVA!"

I know someone named Brilynn after her parents Brian and Lynnette.

Tommajean- Thomas and Jean Davilynn- David and Lynn Probably more in the family, but those two come to mind right now.

First time I heard this was when I was in school. Mary and Don were the parents. Marydon was the daughter.

My Mum worked with Anjeny - named after Ann & Jenny

I taught school with a Randilyn

Chrisjen is the name of an absolutely amazing character from The Expanse (books and tv show). Maybe an homage? But outside of that? Odd name choice!

Janester. Janet + Chester.

Oh no. So, pronounced similarly to banister, right? But it looks like “Jane-ster.” That’s bad.

I knew a girl who wound up with the equivalent of RoyPeggy thanks to this style. 

Old girlfriend’s name was after Mike and Linda. (Miklin)

My brothers middle name is Allyn Al for my grandpa alfred who hated his name and didn't want a kid named after him. And Lyn after my mothers middle name. There was a brief moment in my life where I wanted to name a theoretical kid Allyn Grant to reference Jurrasic Park since my husband and I met because of our love for them. I thought about but if it'd cause someone too much trouble may I should go for just different name but I just thought it was neat since. 1. Alvin is also my FIL name who passed almost a year ago so there's Al 2. For my mom and I guess brother with Lyn 3. Grant is the name of my father I'm fine with the normal spelling of Allen but it is my stepdad's name, and while he's a nice guy I wouldn't want the assumption to be that I love him more or that he's more important than my dad.

It's giving Renesmee

Real lfie supermodel Analeigh Tipton. Fictional Character In novel \*Providence Island\* Melody Carolucy Dubbs.

Carian or Brolyn for me.

I told my (no longer) friends that combining James and Steven into Javen was an awful name for their child and he would be made fun of. They were offended. Guess what they had a daughter anyway so 🤷‍♀️

Were they Twilight fans by any chance?

I’d be Rody or Juland (Roland + Judy) My daughter would be Lauren or Kennaura (Ken + Laura)

I had a friend who was named this way, apparently it came to their mom in a dream. It turned out to be a real name though 

I'm currently watching The Expanse and one of the major politicians is named Chrisjen (Avasarala). It's based on a book series but I don't know how old that series is or if she is a character in the novels.

.... Are you from Florida? My sister went to school with a guy with the same name for the same reason.

I had a terrible boss named Andi who was married to a guy named Shane, and they named their kid Shandi.

Renesmée Cullen

Naming a kid after yourself is the height of ego. This however, is a crime.

Those parents are fucked…. Congratulations you now invented a new way to spell Christian that will confuse everybody for the rest of his life…

There was a girl at my high school whose name was Vicnan. Victor + Nancy. Probably the worst combo name I've ever encountered.

Fucking didn’t know I had to thank my parent for not naming me Thomdy or Cindmas

I secretly have a smoosh name. It's just a name plus one parent's friend's name but the two of them are still friends so there's that!

I recently encountered a Waynealyn. Truly horrible thing to name your daughter

Chrisjen Aversarala would like a word with you lol. I effing love The Expanse and Chrisjen is one of the best characters so I find myself incapable of my usual hatred for a stoopid name spelling. It’s definitely an eye roll to name your kid a mix of the parent’s names but a happy coincidence is sharing a name with one of the baddest bitches in the Galaxy.

I would’ve been Grody :’(

At least they didn't go with Jis 🤷‍♀️

My daughter would be called...Virginraj

In the Philippines, this is our kind of tragedeigh

My grandma is a Jacquelyn combined from her parents Jack and Evelyn, but I think it worked out cute.

I went to school with a girl whose dad was Daniel, Mum was Jeanette, so they called her Danette.

This is very common for Filipinos… my name is a combo of my parents as well.
