Bad, Hilarious, Or Just Absurd Baby Names

Our parents named us Nick and Nora. Which is a reference to something

 

There's a book called Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist, but isn't it from the mid-2000s? Like, 2005-ish?

 

who knows really I just know whenever people hear we're named Nick and Nora they're like "ahh" knowingly

 

I found that?

 

I am compelled once again to share that my father-in-law and most of his siblings are named with a T. F. motif - all the first names are T names and the middle names are F names. Except for father-in-law who only has the F middle initial, for ???? reasons.

The two sibs (of 6, I think) that break the mold... are still called Chris and Christina.

 

Were they Dashiell Hammett fans?

 

ahahahahahahahahaha

Those have nothing on my name and my sibling's.

 

now i'm curious

 

I don't post my real name due to ease of googlability, but let's just say that it is very uncommon and 90% of interactions where I introduce myself involve the other person commenting on it (I've gotten "that sounds like something from those Lord of the Rings movies!" more than once), and I could always tell when a new teacher hit my name in a list at school because they'd stop and squint at the paper before awkwardly trying to sound it out.

The lesson my parents took from this resulted in Sibling having an aggressively normal name.

 

Important things to consider when naming your child: "Will this name make them sound like a secret porn blog centuries later?"

 

Name goals, honestly.

 

speaking of matching sibling names i know a pair of twins named ivane and ivana, pronounced "Ivan-ee" and "ivan-ay" respectively.

 

I'm thinking about choosing a new name for myself so I'm looking at a list of gender neutral names and this godforsaken list includes Almond, Christmas and Cuba.
UPDATE: Experience. can you imagine naming your child fuckin' Experience. Or Explorer. Why. why this. Future. Fennel. This list is fucking cursed. Gull. Guitar. This just keeps getting worse. Legend. Mead. Moroccan.

 

well, I mean, Cuba Gooding Jr. doesn't get much grief for his name these days but idk what his childhood was like.

 

More names from The Hell List: Pistol. Praxis. Poet. Seven. Sincere. Salmon. Steel. Taffy. Tarot. Traveler. Texas. Winner. And, finally, Yule.

 

This is my child, Sincere Praxis. Yes I love her. Why are you asking.

 

Not a person's name this time, but we had a dog's prescription at the pharmacy last week. the dog's name was Showgun. that's. that's not how you spell it. stop that.

 

ah yes, meet my daughter, Tarot Texas. what? i like alliteration!

 

... my sister had a classmate named Yul in elem. school, his family was from france, if that helps.

 

There was some girl in my 2nd grade class called Sincere. I had completely forgotten about it, until meeting her again about ten years later. The conversation was like something straight out of a sitcom.
