Bad, Hilarious, Or Just Absurd Baby Names

I'll admit that I slip up on this one a lot when referring to the character, at least partially because I also have a friend who knows an Aradia who DOES pronounce it a-RAY-dee-ah, and that's the pronunciation I heard first outside of fellow filthy hamsteaks. :(

Incidentally, Damara is also a real-world name. It's Greek, apparently, and I will confess that I would seriously consider naming a daughter that. Probably as a middle name, though.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for the influx of more unusual gemstone names stemming from SU. And from another show, I can seriously see Mabel and Wendy seeing some resurgences in the future. This is what happens when nerds breed, okay.

#britt and i have more or less decided that our hypothetical future son's name will be john btw #partly because it's a family name for both of us but also because we're filthy homestucks and also tmbg fans #i will absolutely push for henry as a middle name because dammit john henry is a fantastic album #also the railroad guy was p cool but THAT ALBUM

 

The most unfortunately named fucker I knew at my Fuckup School for Fuckups: Triple Mike, who was unappreciative of this nickname and whose full name was Michael Michaels Michaelson.

 

I'm reminded of Montgomery Montgomery from A Series Of Unfortunate Events.

 

There's that one French children's(?) book where some guy is named Germain Germain-Germain. It's actually explained, as his parents died(?) and he was adopted by people within his family, and hyphenated the family names for some reason.

 

Axel is actually a Swedish name, and not an unusual one either.

edit: among other languages, I just happen to live in a place with Swedish speakers.

 

There was someone at my high school named Ben Dover.

 

I named a character Celerity once. I knew what it meant. So did her parents, but it's not like they cared.

 

I've known 2 Destinys, both disabled, and 3 Faiths, all from super religious family backgrounds, and one Liberty, from a family that named their second kid Justice.

 

did they have a third kid, and name them "for all"?

 

Fair enough! The thing is, I don't think my Spanish teacher was Swedish? And I'm Kingdom Hearts trash and can only think of the character Axel... or Axl Rose from Guns 'n Roses, lol

 

that was the joke, but i think they'd heard it so many times it wasn't really funny anymore.

We have a locally run pawn shop that has a cute little Corgi for a mascot and the name of the place is Axel's Pawn, owned by, you guessed it, a guy named Axel. I'd heard it other places before that too, so when KH had a character named Axel my reaction was "why do you get the normal sounding name?"

 

I had a friend in highschool who swore he would name his firstborn Big Daddy Charboiled With Cheese

 

Major Major Major Major

 

I just told this to my husband, ending with telling him the nickname, and he just lost it at "Triple Mike". That poor guy but goddamn does that make a good story. XD

 

"Triple Mike" was entirely my fault and I only got away with it because we were kinda friends. :D

 

I also swore that if by some misfortune I had a firstborn I would name them Lizard

 

:3

 

Snake children, or snildren...

 

:3~~<

 

Oh lord when i was a wee sappy tween i declared i would have 3 kids, and name them Riot, Wysteria and Ravensbrooke.

Thankfully I no longer want kids, so I won't be ruining an innocent child's life.
