It’s a child not a vanity plate
Agreed. Mötley can stay.
As someone whose name is an odd spelling that is close to something more conventional, life can be taxing. I’m not saying that there isn’t room for creativity or fun/romantic name choices here. But Triniteigh’s Parents are setting their kid up for a lifetime of bullying and inconvenience, followed by the shock of their kid going to the courthouse at 30 to undo things.
What irks me the most is the effort these idiot parents will go to give their baby as basic a name as “Allison” or “Ashley”
- Ashlie
- Ashlee
- Ashly
- Ashleigh
- Ashlea
- Ashli
- Ashely
- Ashlei
- Ashleah
- Asheleigh
- Ashelie
- Ahshlee
- the list goes on and on and on
No amount of vowels is going to make your kid’s name stand out when at the end of the day it’s the same pronunciation as the most common, basic form of it.
Mötley might be weird but it’s at least unique.
I thought “Raddix Zephyr” might’ve been inspired by the sorting algorithm, but that’s not the name of its creator nor the algorithm, which is actually spelled “Radix”.
All those -eigh names are pretty funny though. Your kid ain’t a horse! It’s not gonna neigh!
And I thought my idea of naming my kid Asrah was already pretty out there lol
Your kid ain’t a horse! It’s not gonna neigh!
And this, kind people of Lemmy, is why these names are bully-bait. Grade-schoolers are gonna figure that one out in the first week, and these kids are gonna go home in tears. Doubly so if the teacher is an idiot, and points out the odd spelling while taking attendance (the kids probably wouldn’t know otherwise).
God y’all have no chill.
I’d totally get it if you were complaining about terrible misappropriation of foreign cultures… But you’re all complaining about the name itself and the spelling. God forbid someone move from a place where that pronunciation is fine, or they want to pay homage to their Welsh grandparent or something. FFS take a look in the mirror, and think about the etymology of your own name.
They’re only stupid because you’re not used to them.
Some names in other English speaking cultures sound wild to us. Why should we care?
Found Raddix Zephyr
Lol honestly I wouldn’t even mind. Where I grew up, that’d be a pretty cool name as a kid. Maybe not as an adult, but most adults I know can keep that shit to themselves.
Yeah, it’s pretty badass. I sure wouldn’t name my kid that, but in abstract, it’s dope.
Adults that keep their names to themselves?
Such as?
I mean, hippie culture used names like “summer” and “rain” which are bonkers but we got used to it.
I watched an interview with someone who was named after a car part and they said it was fairly common, but I can’t find that interview to figure out what country it was anymore.
Old names that span cultures often have wildly different spellings, or pronunciations that don’t seem to make sense in English (like pretty much any Celtic name). It’s one thing to appropriate that culture, it’s another thing to say that names taken or derived from that culture are stupid. People move. People have parents or grandparents from other places. I don’t think it’s reasonable to say the name is bad just because it’s spelled unusually or is something that isn’t typically a name where we live.
yeah, but the difference here is that summer and rain were actual words. And that nobody uses them today, because they’re terrible names.
Why is it better if a name is an English word? In fact isn’t that exactly why you’re saying they’re terrible names?
And it’s cute that you think those names fell out of fashion because they’re “bad” and that they won’t be back in a couple generation along with all the names that were popular at the same time as those ones.
In the meantime, why don’t we shit on names like “john” which is a stupid misspelling of the original Yohanan?
probably beacuse im an english speaker growing up in america. Cognitive bias and all that.
I’m sure they’ll be back later, i’ll still hate them just a little though.
Like… I agree they’re bad. But mostly because people are just stealing little snippets of cultures they know nothing about, just to make their kids names unique.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with a unique name, but don’t make a mockery of another culture in the attempt.
But probably avoid names that rhyme with dirty words…
idk, i think it’s productive to make fun of names from time to time, i think we attach to them too much. It’s definitely too much to make fun of people with bad names though.
There are definitely a lot of other names in other cultures, but i would need some genuine context before hand. Otherwise im just going to assume it isn’t a real name, because people have a weird propensity to just fucking lie all the time for some reason.
I’m going to give you the only name you spelled right on this list! Max Power
I refuse to beleive Madden Raige is real.
My friend likes to join these groups and just throw shitty names and watch people go “Omg so cute 😍😍😍”
Rage generated from playing Madden is certainly real
Do Americans have an equivalent of FIFA “sweaty goals” in Madden?
Mad enrage, Made in Rage(sounds like angry/revenge sex to me)?
I once met a kid named Odin. Absolute banger of a name.
When you pressing random name button 56 times during character generation
Personally, I prefer names that are forbidden, like Username, Null, Admin, 'SELECT * FROM Users;-- , [email protected], Error, <FirstName>,
ah yes, the classic admin, or my personal favorite. [insert product name here]
Ok Elon
Found the Microsoft employee.
Coyote Bao just sounds like a health code violation lmao
Coyote Bao is pretty badsss actually
Bao like the Asian bakery food? Seems confused to me.
For a bounty hunter? Definitely. For shift supervisor at the run-down Walgreens on the shitty side of town in Des Moines next to a Matress Firm and the CBD shop? Less so.
That walgreens would be off the fucken hook. Only pharmacy that also stocks street drugs and ammo.
I’d order a Coyote Bao if I saw it on the menu
Would it be a drink or dim sum?
definitely a furry screen name.
That’s the worst part.
brb changing all my socials
uh oh. What did i miss?
I heard so much racism/making fun about black names growing up, but like, white people names are some of the absolute goofiest shit I’ve ever heard.
ITT: the very people the xeet is about
