Bad, Hilarious, Or Just Absurd Baby Names

I seem to recall that's not that uncommon a name in some parts of Scandinavia.

 

Yeah,true. It was just weird because this was Ontario :p

(Altho given the finnish population in northern ontario.. but this was not northern ontario)

 

Is this a reference to something? Cause now I'm thinking of Petshop of horrors.

 

Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic, I'm pretty sure.

 

Yup, Sandman reference—but I 100% support making people think of Petshop of Horrors, I adore that series. :D

 

I had an Odysseus in my class
almost forgot about him

also an Amidasai

he swore his name was in the bible, and i believe him since his family was really religious, but for the life of me i can't _remember_ and Amidasai

maybe its in a spanish translation of the bible? any bible nerds/scholars idk what the nice term is- here know?

edit: Ami SA dai, sorry

 

Googling it, Amisadai seems to be a Hebrew name that's only really common among Hispanic groups, so I'm guessing it's that?

 

I read about a baby named Decibelle in the paper and laughed about it for days, and then a couple of months later I met her at a playgroup thing. It was a bit like meeting a celebrity. Unfortunately I was too polite to agressively question her parent about that naming choice ;_;

 

was she a loud child?

 

No! She was really calm and well-behaved, which made the whole thing extra hilarious to me.

 

A friend was working on registration for a big event. She printed passes with people's names on them. One guy had a surname that was spelled innocuously, but when said out loud was pronounced 'Cuntywinkle'. She managed to maintain her Professional Face, and didn't even smile when reading it back to him. I would not have been able to manage that.

 

I guaranfuckingtee you Mommy has a "let me speak to your manager" haircut and/or on at least one occasion made snotty comments about "those weird black people names"

 

and you are not allowed to give her a nickname. it is the whole 57-syllable monstrosity or nothing.

 

And I thought my deadname was overly long.

 

And when she hits high school, her parents will not get why she's so mad at them all the time.

 

Look in the announcement

Her sibling(?) is named Khayleigh-Hunter

Oh wait i'm sorry Khayleigh-Huntyr


Like, someone please unglue all the Hs and the Ks. Please stop these parents

Kaylee Hunter is a weird name but no you had to do something that looks like kuh-haylayighuh hunn tire

Editx2: OK BUT I JUST NOTICED the childs initials are KKKS

Edit: i just noticed that i apparently have zero reading comprehension,let the record state that i'm a dummy

 

And these people naming their kids Bryttyny and MacKynseigh and Khayleigh-Huntyr and Aidyn-Braydyn-Caydyn-Greydyn-Jadyn-Hayden either don't realize or don't care that they're dooming their kids to a minimum of 18 years of spelling their whole entire monstrosity of a name out every time they tell it to someone who needs to write it down.

 

...not everyone needs to spell out their name? :O (Sorry, I know in the abstract that not everyone needs to, and mine isn't even a weird spelling - either first or last name - but I apparently have a soft enough voice that some of the syllables slur together if I'm not being loud and over-enunciating. So I'm used to having to spell out my first and last every time I interact with someone who needs to look it up. tbf, most of that is talking with the pharmacist these days.)

 

That's my only guess as to why names like that are prevalent: "I got stuck getting named after my Polish Grandma from the old country so fuck you kid, your name is pronounceable but it's Ashley spelled with three Hs and a silent T. Choke on that you little brat, you'll spend an additional 15 minutes on the phone any time you need to correct something."

 

And not being able to fit her name on paperwork, ever.
