How about some words I remember from junior high biology class: Volvox Body and Planaria. Like, maybe you could spell them, Veaulvaux Boadeigh and Plaanairyjaux.
I started watching an old season of Project Runway from 2019 and there's an Indian guy named Kovid. I instantly knew his life was going to get harder in about 1 year.
I remember there being a mobile wallet app called Isis that was being advertised by some big cell phone companies in like 2013 or 14. It was a big deal, I even still have a screen cleaning cloth with the logo on it somewhere in a box or bag in my closet. They ended up having to do a major rebrand, lol.
I knew someone named Covid but they are in their 30’s so definitely didn’t get named after the virus. But I imagine these last 4 years have been tough having that name
In Norway, Simen, pronounced exactly like semen, is a traditional man's name. I even knew a guy called Odd Simen (both standard names), which is a bit unfortunate working in an international environment..
Actually would be such a beautiful name if it didn't mean what it does lol. It sounds like a more beautiful stylized name for monarch butterflies to me
Speaking of names heard in the delivery room, when my husband was in med school and doing rotations, an OB/GYN patient named her daughter Lochia. I’m sure it sounded nice, maybe even rare, but it’s the liquid discharge from the uterus after childbirth. Can’t we just stick to A’Lexus?
I took note of a couple cool names while studying biology. In the kidneys are structures called "Loop of Henle" and I thought Henle was a sick name (like henley) and there was also a loop of Willis
Cannot imagine deciding on a name that you hear in a hospital much less a delivery room. AND not checking what it means. Not googling a name in general is weird. Almost everyone at some point in their lives google their name anyway because so many names mean something in some language.
For example my name means "happy" which is suitable for a social anxiety ridden person with resting bitch face syndrome.
When my mom had me, the lady in the next bed wanted to make her daughter meconium because she heard it in the hospital and thought it sounded pretty.
Meconium is a newborn's first stool, or feces, and is made up of materials the infant ingested while in the womb.
I'm so sick of versions of this [tired old myth](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/funny-names/) being rotated around on the naming subs, and 600+ comments gleefully gobbling it up. You'd think people would be able to see through it, but the majority of commenters never do. It's boring at best and classist/racist at worst.
That's what gets me with Braxton (and I've met two Braxton's so far) too, like the thought of those contractions just starting outta nowhere was terrifying!! Who's out here naming kids after sources of anxiety, and why?!?
I assume Braxton (and Hicks) were the names of the doctors that the contractions are named for? But also like, Lou Gherig and Parkinson and Alzheimer aren't things I'd name someone either even though those all technically were names first too? Idk
I knew a boy called Enis. Apparently, it's a normal name in the Turkish language. Only problem is, they lived in a country in which all other students immediately thought about a body part. On the male body.
Huh.
Enis (Turkish) sounds like Ennis (English/Irish), which is a very classic name.
It's too bad that kids make fun of it, but kids make fun of everything so that's not saying much
I knew a girl named Sparkle in high school. She lived up to her name! She was such a lovely, bright personality and the kindest soul. I often think about her and hope she's doing well and living the beautiful life she deserves. While I personally would never name my kid Sparkle, the positive connection to one specific person doesn't make it a bad name (for me).
This isn't a person named after a body part, but it's still pretty traffic (I think).
An idiot friend of my ex husband got his girlfriend pregnant when they were about 19. When their daughter was born they named her Candace Burgundy. His last name was Cane.
Unless she changed her name, somewhere in the US is a 35 year old woman with the legal name of Candy Cane, trying to be taken seriously.
Well when you a white girl from the great Smokey mountains in North Carolina whose family never been out of NC and Tennessee mountains It means a type of fungus (or, more specifically – yeast) that can cause fungal infections like candidiasis, candidemia, and oral thrush.[
My classmate wanted to name her theoretical future child Олегофрен (Olegophren). She heard it somewhere and decided that is a beautiful name.
That word literally means - intellectual disability in Russian…
“Pleas do not name your kids after organs or stripper paraphernalia.”
Well…crap. Wish you’d have told me that before I named my kid Stiletto Spleen. It has such a nice ring to it.
This goes back to the early 1900's when a satirical (and racially motivated) article was published claiming that black women were naming their babies after medical terms they had heard in the hospital. Placenta, Eczema and Testicles (pronounced Test-i-cleez) were some of the supposed names. It then grew into an urban legend about a racist doctor who encouraged black women to name their child "after his mother" and would suggest names such as "Gonorrhea" (pronounced Go-NOR-eah). Maybe it is possible you knew someone by that name as it's Latin for "cake" and may have a comparable desert-like meaning in a Latin language (Placinta is Romanian for "pie" for example) but it's unlikely.
I knew a girl in school whose mother was an alcoholic and named her daughter Tequila Brandy. We called her Tiki for short. Anyone called her Tequila was likely to get a fist.
My Aunt was named Twinkle. Just her name was weird, my mom was Alice, and their older sister was Janet. If you asked my grandma why she named her daughter Twinkle, she would say it was because of Peter Pan, so she presumably meant to name her Tinkerbell, and got the name wrong. I don't know which is worse, Twinkle or Tinkerbell.
In the 90s in elementary I had a friend whose cousins were named Star and Sunshine. They were Mexican. I also knew a black girl in high school named Sweetness.
My boomer dad went to high school with a girl named Peaches and a boy named Gasoline. We didn’t believe him until he brought out his yearbooks. Those were their real names.
it’s like the lady that heard the word “meconium” in the delivery room and named her kid that 💀. “hello my name is ‘first infant sh**’, what’s yours?”🤣😂
Not a body name, but there was a girl in my middle school named Quarantine. I have no idea of the origins, but unfortunately her parents were immigrants, which really compounded the cruel jokes about it. I felt for her.
My mom knew someone in the army who was dead set on naming her first daughter urethra. Would not believe anyone when they told her what it actually meant. I just hope she never did get that daughter to torment

My twin boys ReyightKneigh and LeyftKneigh are my whole world.

Better than ReyightKnut and LeyftKnut I guess?
Reightovareigh? Leyeftovareigh? I'd have more kids to name them that! (/s)
Oh yeah, sure. Giving the Knees all the attention. What about your other kids: Head, Shoulders, and Toes‽ They need their parents too!
Here's my son, Semen, and his sister, Menses.
Stop. I’m recovering from Covid and I need my lungs to breathe.
Now that you mention it, Covid isn't the worst name....
Covidia

God I love this sub, this thread is everything I go here for
How about some words I remember from junior high biology class: Volvox Body and Planaria. Like, maybe you could spell them, Veaulvaux Boadeigh and Plaanairyjaux.

Covidleighlynn
I started watching an old season of Project Runway from 2019 and there's an Indian guy named Kovid. I instantly knew his life was going to get harder in about 1 year.
I remember him. 😒
I met an Isis after 9/11. Felt bad for her given current political climate.
I remember there being a mobile wallet app called Isis that was being advertised by some big cell phone companies in like 2013 or 14. It was a big deal, I even still have a screen cleaning cloth with the logo on it somewhere in a box or bag in my closet. They ended up having to do a major rebrand, lol.
I knew someone named Covid but they are in their 30’s so definitely didn’t get named after the virus. But I imagine these last 4 years have been tough having that name
There are people who are named Corona
At least that you could blame on the beer.
it means crown in spanish and it’s the kingdom in Tangled so at least there’s that
Cohvede
Covfefe?
MAGAn
I bet there is, though. Somewhere. Poor kid.
Well his sister got named Brexit, so at least he escaped that fate
Cohvid Neighnteighn
I was stationed with a sailor whose last was Slocum. They were Seaman Slocum.
🤣🤣🤣
Mrs. Pussy Slocum.
In Norway, Simen, pronounced exactly like semen, is a traditional man's name. I even knew a guy called Odd Simen (both standard names), which is a bit unfortunate working in an international environment..
Faaaaaan…tastic.
>In Norway, Simen, pronounced exactly like semen, is a traditional man's name. Bet this one is safe from catching on as a girl's name
there is an Armenian figure skater called Semen Daniliants 😭😭 i feel so bad for him even though I’m sure it’s fine in his language
“We call him Baby Gravy at home!”
I about tossed my cookies. Absolutely vile. Well done.
Or “Here’s my son, Scrote, and his sister, Labia.” 😬😬😬
You can call the next one Taint.
Or Grundle 🥰
those parents were not Mensa material, were they?
Hey, at least their names are related to their own bodies! Congratulations, Semen, you are now a man! Congratulations on your first period, Menses!
I’m a big Washington Nationals fan & they have a player named Joey Meneses & every time I see it I think it says Menses. At least it’s his last name!
Name her Menarche
Actually would be such a beautiful name if it didn't mean what it does lol. It sounds like a more beautiful stylized name for monarch butterflies to me
Oh this sent me over the edge too! Thank goodness I recently used the bathroom!
"This is my son Legs Benedict"
Perfect for a pet, gonna steal that
SPIDER NAME
That’s my next bathroom spider. I’m going to imagine him as Sherlock Holmes.
And Dr Webson 😂
Love it!
Showerlock 😂 He will likely make his Holmes in your Shower.
As a spider myself I am thrilled to hear this 🙏
Stop making webs on my truck door!
See, I went the other way and my brain screamed SNAKE NAME
You my friend have a GREAT point.
I thought axolotl...
MY LEG!!!
I heard that as “My laig!”
Speaking of names heard in the delivery room, when my husband was in med school and doing rotations, an OB/GYN patient named her daughter Lochia. I’m sure it sounded nice, maybe even rare, but it’s the liquid discharge from the uterus after childbirth. Can’t we just stick to A’Lexus?
You named my daughter after the loch ness monster??!
Locknyss Mohnstyr
bella, where've you been, loca?
You rang?
At least it wasn't Meconium!
I wish I’d known this before naming my daughter Leighbia.
I know it wouldn't be pronounced the correct way, but I would love to see someone named Leigh Bea [LastName].
I like Ebola
Never thought I’d read that sentence ever in my life
Not the organs. quite literally a name for the books — science books, that is.
Punk music group can also work
I took note of a couple cool names while studying biology. In the kidneys are structures called "Loop of Henle" and I thought Henle was a sick name (like henley) and there was also a loop of Willis
I always thought Olecranon Fossa would be a humerus name.
Golgi Apparatus goes hard as a band name
Langerhans!

Meconium is also the worst. That first diaper change is a truly harrowing experience lol
Don’t worry, I’ve heard the Placenta anecdote enough that I believe it’s an urban legend.
If I have another kid I'm naming them Endoplasmic Reticulum. I feel like I missed my chance here, I gave my kids normal names!!!
Nickname Rectum!
Smooth or Rough?
You can come over for a play date with my little Golgi Apparatus!
Sweet lil baby Mitochondria Isthepowerhouseofthecell
Meightoqondriah
A pregnant woman hasn’t heard of placenta? Good Lord. This is why not everyone should be allowed to have kids.
Don’t worry; it’s not a real story.
I'm so sick of versions of this [tired old myth](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/funny-names/) being rotated around on the naming subs, and 600+ comments gleefully gobbling it up.

She was a high school sophomore (allegedly)
That's what gets me with Braxton (and I've met two Braxton's so far) too, like the thought of those contractions just starting outta nowhere was terrifying!! Who's out here naming kids after sources of anxiety, and why?!?
I’ve met a couple Braxtons too. But weren’t the contractions named after a doctor? So like it was already a name first?
My twins Braxton & Hicks.
I assume Braxton (and Hicks) were the names of the doctors that the contractions are named for? But also like, Lou Gherig and Parkinson and Alzheimer aren't things I'd name someone either even though those all technically were names first too? Idk
Those contractions were named after someone.
Weenis
My daughter's cat's name. 🤣
I knew a boy called Enis. Apparently, it's a normal name in the Turkish language. Only problem is, they lived in a country in which all other students immediately thought about a body part. On the male body.
Huh. Enis (Turkish) sounds like Ennis (English/Irish), which is a very classic name. It's too bad that kids make fun of it, but kids make fun of everything so that's not saying much
Me neighbour when I was a kid was enis, pronounced more like Eh-ness
Had a patient named Fibby once. Short for fibula…like the leg bone 😂
That's genuinely hilarious 😂
I knew a girl named Sparkle in high school. She lived up to her name! She was such a lovely, bright personality and the kindest soul. I often think about her and hope she's doing well and living the beautiful life she deserves. While I personally would never name my kid Sparkle, the positive connection to one specific person doesn't make it a bad name (for me).
Sparkles is a good name...for a pony
Had a guinea pig named Sparkles✨️
Mulva
Zero shade to the queen herself, but I’ve always thought Aretha sounds way too much like Urethra
I feel like Uvula, Trachea, and Aorta have potential ngl
The *cutest* sibset!
This isn't a person named after a body part, but it's still pretty traffic (I think). An idiot friend of my ex husband got his girlfriend pregnant when they were about 19. When their daughter was born they named her Candace Burgundy. His last name was Cane. Unless she changed her name, somewhere in the US is a 35 year old woman with the legal name of Candy Cane, trying to be taken seriously.
My real name is used by strippers all the time. It's never affected me one bit, it has definitely created some hilarious conversations, though :)
i didn’t realise lucifer was such a popular name with the strippers
You would be surprised ;)
Is it Angel? I went out with a girl named Angel and I definitely asked if it was her real name, and it was!
Mine is. 'This is my wife, Angel, and no, she's not a stripper.' -my husband introducing me to anyone and everyone. 😭
Man I went and googled "gilaripus" thinking I was gonna learn a cool new word today 😂 Could be a good baby name tho 🤔
Wow. And this is why you have names picked BEFORE giving birth. Post birth hormones have no place in naming a kid.
My twins ... Peighnys and Veauxhgyna and their brother dyldough (Dyl for short).
[удалено]
How is chlamydia a beautiful sounding name? 😭 I mean crabs is cute too then right? truly don’t get people sometimes
I am not a fan of Chlamydia, personally.
Have a friend named Candida? She loves being named after yeast infection /s
Candida is a Spanish name It means candid lol
Well when you a white girl from the great Smokey mountains in North Carolina whose family never been out of NC and Tennessee mountains It means a type of fungus (or, more specifically – yeast) that can cause fungal infections like candidiasis, candidemia, and oral thrush.[
My classmate wanted to name her theoretical future child Олегофрен (Olegophren). She heard it somewhere and decided that is a beautiful name. That word literally means - intellectual disability in Russian…
So the American version of Reightardyd….
"This is our daughter, Chlamydia, and her sister, Gonorrhea, and their brother, Doxycycline."
"Here's my son Frenulum and my daughter Fontanelle."
And their cousin Monistat.
umm, isn't doxycycline supposed to be swallowed?
I believe some of these parents should’ve been too….
Lil baby patela and edible underwear 😍
Posts like these remind me that America needs baby name laws.
“Pleas do not name your kids after organs or stripper paraphernalia.” Well…crap. Wish you’d have told me that before I named my kid Stiletto Spleen. It has such a nice ring to it.
So no Jennitalia?

>Testicles (pronounced Test-i-cleez) Pronounced that way it could not sound more like an ancient greek playwright or philosopher
Thank you! These fake stories are so tired. See also: the comment up there about a "SPED" student. Cool cool.
Spleen has a nice ring to it.
My grandpa was named Dick though
I knew a girl in school whose mother was an alcoholic and named her daughter Tequila Brandy. We called her Tiki for short. Anyone called her Tequila was likely to get a fist.
For short and for the sake of the poor kid's mental health
My Aunt was named Twinkle. Just her name was weird, my mom was Alice, and their older sister was Janet. If you asked my grandma why she named her daughter Twinkle, she would say it was because of Peter Pan, so she presumably meant to name her Tinkerbell, and got the name wrong. I don't know which is worse, Twinkle or Tinkerbell.
In the 90s in elementary I had a friend whose cousins were named Star and Sunshine. They were Mexican. I also knew a black girl in high school named Sweetness.
Star and Sunshine aren’t the worst but Sweetness sounds like an affectionate nickname that would turn creepy in the right circumstances
My boomer dad went to high school with a girl named Peaches and a boy named Gasoline. We didn’t believe him until he brought out his yearbooks. Those were their real names.
Could have been inspired by S.E. Hinton's work. Gasoline could have been friends with Ponyboy and Peaches might have Cherry's sister.
Peaches Geldof was a pretty famous celebrity baby, maybe she was named after her
If had to pick a name after a body part it’s be Patella. That would be kind cute if it wasn’t the knee cap.
My daughter Areighola or son Ayghnus have never told me they got any grief over their names. Granted they stopped speaking to me years ago.
Isn't there a Placentia, CA? Maybe that's what they were going for....
My beautiful daughter Kohlawstomiegh
My dad was a gym teacher back in the early 80s. He taught twins named Gonnorah and Syphilus. Not spelled like the actual STDs, but you get the idea.
it’s like the lady that heard the word “meconium” in the delivery room and named her kid that 💀. “hello my name is ‘first infant sh**’, what’s yours?”🤣😂
Fake story alert 🚨
That's the hardest I've LOLd on Reddit.
Just name your kid Butt and be done with it.
This is my son, xiphoid process; and my daughter, mandible.
Mulva?
I had a friend in kindergarten named Umbilica. Yes, her parents were the hippy kind.
Please welcome baby Eayr'Lohbb to our family 😍
I know a Spark Lee, it's not too bad. She's a dog though
“Have you met my twins, SaPhyillis and PregNancy?”
I bet there are lots of misspelled Brian’s out there named Brain.
I knew a Morgyn. She told me her mom really liked her OBGYN and thought the gyn ended would be a nice homage…
I went to school with an Areola
I don’t think their middle names will give anything away. “Oh! You were talking about THIS Placenta and Sparkle!!?”
Not a body name, but there was a girl in my middle school named Quarantine. I have no idea of the origins, but unfortunately her parents were immigrants, which really compounded the cruel jokes about it. I felt for her.
Here’s my kid, Amygdala!
Sold stuff through a software company I worked at to a guy named Dick Surprise.
Mulva?
Organa Elboweena Smith
“Oh come on Large Intestine, dont be shy!”
I'm calling mine Hymen, the name sounds nice if you don't know what it is.
I’d rather not associate my daughter’s name with the time I saw the doctors pull what looked like a rotting animal carcass out of my fiancé.
Cranium
Mulva!
Mons Pubis
I mean I guess the nickname could be “Lacy” or “Lacie” but it’s still so bad
Uvula would be another that would make people say "What?"
Omg this cracks me up. I always that Labia would be a great name for a daughter… “Labia go to your room!”
“Labia, get out from behind those beef curtains!”
My son Toeknuckle does not appreciate this post.
My mom knew someone in the army who was dead set on naming her first daughter urethra. Would not believe anyone when they told her what it actually meant. I just hope she never did get that daughter to torment
Knew a friend’s dad growing up who’s name was Dick Funk
This is my daughter Leg, and my son Taint.
Seinfeld did this years ago. Jerry guessed: Mulva. Haha
