Bad, Hilarious, Or Just Absurd Baby Names

I have an aunt named Bambi. My grandmother really liked the movie when it came out. To make it a little more apopros, she is the youngest of dads siblings.

One of my close friends from high school is a winter. Her bdays in december. But broskie??? Thats hockey nickname right there.

 

there is a criminal in nanoha strikerS named "jail"

why the fuck is there a criminal in nanoha strikerS named "jail"

 

Jael is a legit name—Biblical, iirc. I wonder if her name was intended to be Jael, and it got mistranslated as Jail or something?

 

the criminal is a dude, actually.

but yeah, i can buy that explanation.

 

a kid named Ryah, and an adult named Jakkob Kiser.

 

according to nanoha wiki - which i was careful about reading 'cause of spoilers - his name is a translation of a japanese word that literally means "jail."

... so they did this on purpose, apparently.

 

Ryah is actually quite pretty, imo, and I’ve seen it spelled various ways over the years—iirc it’s often short for Mariah (in fact, I actually knew a Riah in high school, short for that), but it’s not terribly out there as a standalone name?

Jakkob, though, is kind of baffling to me from a pronunciation perspective.

 

Agreed, Jakob with one K is pretty common but the second one muddies the water.

Ryah had a sibling and I can’t remember their name... it was another R name, Ryker or something?

 

Update- their siblings name is Rogan. Also we have a new customer who lives on Butts road.

 

pronounced with two syllables. Jack-cob.

 

....Jacob is normally two syllables anyway though???

 

I read Jacob as JAY-cob, while Jakkob is JACK-cob

 

Yeah, this is how I’ve been reading it too. The double K, man.

 

I FUCKED UP

*screeches into the sunset*

 

Khaitlynn.

 

Chanx (pronounced chance????)

 

This belongs in here. Found it on Tumblr.

(For those who can't read the tiny text: her name is Cherries Waffles Tennis.)

 

Come on, everyone knows you need five or six random words for decent security.

 

One of our customers is a woman named Sun (as in, the thing in the sky). Must’ve been confusing when she was younger- “I’d like to introduce my daughter, Sun.”

 

There's a canadian politician named Erin O'Toole who is presumably a cis guy


Edit and i just saw a tweet from the account OntariosDoctors that mentions orthopaedic surgeon Alan Getgood
