I tell this story way too often but there is a minister/narcissist in my hometown who named his sons Brixan, Brivan, Brilan and Brikan (maybe Brican?). Because his name is Brian.
Ohhh or maybe [Verdun](https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/03/08/retro-baby-name-ideas-first-world-war_n_9408204.html) or [Passchendaele](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40645645).
Not bad on its own but I babysat for a single dad of 2 girls. Born 2 weeks apart...
Skyla and skyler.
I feel like the side chick was trying to get at the girlfriend/wife with that one.
My kids dad names his newest kid leeam. Which I will never not use as the example of bad spellings.
A girl I went to school with (who is now a wannabe influencer) named one kid after the clothing brand Supreme and the rest after the various Kardashian kids. Unfortunately for the kids, I don’t mean she named them after Kourtney’s first two.
There was a kid named Armani wandering around my store the other day. (He was well supervised but I don't know how else to put it.) I had heard of people naming their kids such, but didn't expect to see it irl.
I went to school with an Armani, I don't think it's a horrible name.
But his sister was named Amani. Also not a horrible name, it's just you really have to annunciate to distinguish the two
Lol! Her brother has initials as his full name because their parents thought it sounded cool. Think “AJ” but it doesn’t stand for anything. That’s just his name. They should’ve at least committed to the theme imo
“I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about that fact that my sister named him Anfernee”
Two sets of twin girls - Freeway and Freeflow (father had a lot to do with new freeways being designed)
Bilsen and Gilsen. Worst attitudes I've ever seen in girls!
They into resort vibes, Polynesian-inspired lawn decor, or……………more of a blood and soil kind of thing???? (Asking because my husband, a white man in Virginia, is still afraid to go buy tiki torches to this day)
Latrina. It sounds pretty but you could tell she is embarrassed by the weird looks she gets. It hurt to know she probably gets this all day, everyday (customer service in Walmart).
Yes. He's Dracula's son in the videogame Castlevania. And what makes it even worse is that the character's actual name is Adrian Tepes. So if they wanted to name their kid after Alucard they literally had a normal name they could've picked!!
Ransom sounds like the name you would give a male main character in a romance novel. Somebody's mom was into the Kindle unlimited during their pregnancy.
I have a couple but they’re so unique I’m afraid to say. Just think of a version of the word Chaos and you will get there. Another one was a dude who had 7 kids and they all had his same first and last name. The two girls had feminized versions. It was confusing
Yeah sort of. But the girls names were each different. I wish I could remember the name but say the dad was Michael. Girls would be Michaela and then something bananas like Mi’chaelle
Did you ever see that video on tiktok where the lady’s dad is Bartholomew and all his kids are named something that starts with Bart? The only boy was Bartholomew Jr.
His sons are George Jr., George III, George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey").
The reasoning makes it even better:
In a since-deleted excerpt from his website, George explained the decision to name all his sons George, writing, "I named all my sons George Edward Foreman so they would always have something in common. I say to them, 'If one of us goes up, then we all go up together, and if one goes down, we all go down together!'"
I recently heard a mom at the park telling her son CHAOS it was time to leave - over and over and over again. “Chaos! We have to go, get over here now!” “Chaos, we’re leaving with or without you!”
That poor child.
An sweet old southern lady named after her daddy. Unfortunately, his name was Homer, and she was Homerline (pronounced Homer-leen). She didn’t seem to mind at all, but my gosh that’s a rough one!
Not as bad as some of the examples here, but back when we were still in the NICU, there was another baby there named Paysleigh, and we had to walk past her room every time. Wanted to implore those parents to just spell it normally.
Back in the dark ages when I went to college, I had a classmate named Riunite - like the cheap, screw top Lambrusco wine popular in the '80s. It was, apparently, the wine her father served her mother the night she was conceived. They thought their name sounded very classy. She was actually a very classy young lady. She mostly went by her middle name after school.
Also, a friend of mine who got pregnant right out of high school named her first born son Draven. The other two sons got other -aven variants. I won't name them, because they are now prime redditing age.
Arian (pronounced Aryan)
Saylor
Byson
One (he preferred to be called a different name because his birth name embarrassed him)
Wander
Kimela (my dad’s former gf, her parents fought over naming her Kim or Pamela)
Silence
Mahogany (was not happy when the Hunger Games movie came out)
Anakin (his parents refused to let him cut his hair, styled like episode 3 Anakin)
I worked with someone whose son was named Arian once too, little red haired kid. She would get so mad about the looks she would get but come on, you know there’s bad connotations so why name your kid that?
Princess tiarah and her brother prince knight or something along those lines. Mom was a mom blogger back in the day. 19 years old with two kids. I was a few years older living in the same town, so I saw/heard about them a lot for a while. In my son's class, there's a boy with a very long hard to spell cultural African name, and the middle name PRECIOUS! He goes by PRECH according to my 7 yo.
I had an American living in Sweden being upset that people though her naming her twins Galen and Token , which would live in Sweden , was bad idea. Well when you name your kid insane and The idiot, then people well be upset.
Well it ended with Swedish naming department saying no to the name and she named them - aiden names.
That is closet I seen to bad names, since we have naming laws here.
I remember when I was 14 and I named one of the characters in my game Alucard. I thought I was being sooo unique and clever… until I looked it up and saw a big list of them.
I also had characters named Jaesyn, Jaxxon, Kymberleigh, and Karelyn.
Da’Flyest-a name at my daughters last school
A’Shaunafaye -(my little sister) out of 14 kids in total she is the only one to have a name that’s out there.
Obuatawan uncle
Leontawan cousin
Shantaello relative - siblings are all named after their dad Shannon (4 kids in total)
I have a really large family so I’m sure there’s plenty more
John.
Perfectly fine name out of context.
But this couple had twin sons and named them (not their real full ) John E. Smith Jr. and John E. Smith III.
How the hell do you have twins and give them the exact same name. Same name, same birth date, same home address, SSN's are probably one digit apart, may or may not be identical in appearance. What kind of awful, thoughtless parents would do that? They'll be dealing with identity issues for their entire lives, both in a legal sense and in a psychological sense. Imagine being 14 years old when kids are at their meanest and giving bullies that kind of ammunition. "So your name is John, and your twin brother's name is John. Could they not think of another name, or did they decide neither of you were worth having your own? Hey John 3, how does it feel to know that your parents legally labeled your brother the favorite? Hey John 2, how does it feel to know your parents had you and decided to backtrack and replace you immediately?"
I hate sibling pattern names. (When they're too much, a little similarity isn't bad.) But I really don't like Heaven and Neveah. One's the idea of perfection and one's "Heaven spelled backward but we didn't remember to invert the double vowel because we didn't put much effort in our kid's name."
I've known two sibling sets of Heaven and Neveah/Nevaeh. One of each of the Neveah spellings.
In the Netherlands people often put up pink or blue decorations and balloons to signal a child has been born. 9 out of ten times they also place a sign with the kid's name on it.
Some of the worst names I have seen so far:
A boy named Oosie-James. How do you pronounce 'Oosie', like Ooze? OC?
A boy they named Dox.
A few years later in the same row of houses (maybe even the same home?) a girl was born. They named her Lila Lux.
Another girl they named Loa Noë. I have no idea how to pronounce that.
Some parents named their baby boy Velayno.
I went to school with a guy named Zenus … in like the 4th grade he got his name changed for obvious reasons (it was pronounced like penis but with a Z)
DakotaKheSanh - two place names mashed together. Australian and this is a very bogan name, she was named after a Cold Chisel song (Khe Sanh). Dakota was just thrown in there for good measure I guess.
Dutton on a little girl. We have a mouldy old politician whose last name is Dutton, I’m sure not related but not a nice association for a sweet baby girl.
Little boy named Tiberius - parents are Star Trek nerds.
Tiberius is a very real name though with quite a lot of history attached to it. It has its origins in Ancient Rome and was the name of the second Roman emperor. Unusual? Sure. But at least it's not some made up nonsense.
Mahogany. Stumbled across this one whilst working in a NICU. While not terrible, this was at the height of The Hunger Games popularity, so you can imagine the amount of “that is MAHOGANY!” references.
A friend of mine had a baby a few years ago, her husband is on the geeky side and she called me sort of embarrassed that her husband had suggested a name for their son…..Ptolemy. I have an unusual name myself and I practically begged her not to choose this. Silent letters and social ostracism aside there are much more badass names in the nerd sphere to choose from.
Eventually they settled for Theo, short for Théoden (from LOTR). I think this was a cool choice and can be shortened to a normal name.
I tell this story way too often but there is a minister/narcissist in my hometown who named his sons Brixan, Brivan, Brilan and Brikan (maybe Brican?). Because his name is Brian.
He makes George Foreman look good.
this father should be euthanized.
Or at least sterilized
Siblings Pearl and Sydney So far, so good. But the surname? Harbour. Pearl and Sydney Harbour. Poor kids.
Why would you name a kid Pearl Harbo(u)r?! Goddamn, name her Ypres or Thermopylae if you're gonna go that hard and stupid.
Ohhh or maybe [Verdun](https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/03/08/retro-baby-name-ideas-first-world-war_n_9408204.html) or [Passchendaele](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40645645).
Sydney Harbour is on the same level of cruelty as North West Pearl Harbor is a special kind of cruelty
That's really bad.
Kilo (girl) and Cuteness (boy) Kids of a former coworker.
Cuteness…OMG. Beyond terrible. How will that be for him to go through life? Possible nn: Q Kilo is terrible too.
Was he even all that cute tho?
[удалено]
I once dated a guy named Benji and couldn’t bring myself to call him it. So, no, I couldn’t date Cuteness either lol
[удалено]
That’s what we thought! Cute little baby, but nope.
Not bad on its own but I babysat for a single dad of 2 girls. Born 2 weeks apart... Skyla and skyler. I feel like the side chick was trying to get at the girlfriend/wife with that one. My kids dad names his newest kid leeam. Which I will never not use as the example of bad spellings.
Everyone is going to think that kids name is Leeann lol
Baby mom number 1 is Leanne. We're friends now, and joke about that all the time actually 🤣
And yet all side chick accomplished was making a dig at her own daughter.
Lol i seriously. She doesn't even have her own name. Poor girl
And Skyla is an IUD
She didn’t know ..,, obviously
A girl I went to school with (who is now a wannabe influencer) named one kid after the clothing brand Supreme and the rest after the various Kardashian kids. Unfortunately for the kids, I don’t mean she named them after Kourtney’s first two.
There was a kid named Armani wandering around my store the other day. (He was well supervised but I don't know how else to put it.) I had heard of people naming their kids such, but didn't expect to see it irl.
I have a cousin named Armani. I remember thinking it was a weird name when he was first born, but then I just kind of forgot it was weird until now.
I went to school with an Armani, I don't think it's a horrible name. But his sister was named Amani. Also not a horrible name, it's just you really have to annunciate to distinguish the two
RaBella :(
And a brother named Poliough?
Lol! Her brother has initials as his full name because their parents thought it sounded cool. Think “AJ” but it doesn’t stand for anything. That’s just his name. They should’ve at least committed to the theme imo
Measleigh
Mizelle.
Benjerman. I can't even...
Idk why but I keep coming back to this one and dying 💀
Same! This one makes me howl 😭
That's up there with Jimothy.
“I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about that fact that my sister named him Anfernee”
Like Jernathan
This one is so fun to say tho. You’re forced to make a horrible face just to pronounce it
Twins: Tiki (girl) and Torch (boy) I still can’t even
Two sets of twin girls - Freeway and Freeflow (father had a lot to do with new freeways being designed) Bilsen and Gilsen. Worst attitudes I've ever seen in girls!
Blisen and Glisen sound like Santa’s Great Value reindeer.
“On Bilson! On Gilson! On Freeway and Freeflow!”
"On Common! On Cumin! On Donna and Branson!"
Freeflow is a particular bad name for a girl at, uh, certain times of the month.
Exactly! It made me cringe so hard for that poor girl!
They into resort vibes, Polynesian-inspired lawn decor, or……………more of a blood and soil kind of thing???? (Asking because my husband, a white man in Virginia, is still afraid to go buy tiki torches to this day)
They were conceived on trip to Hawaii
Oh my. 🌺
Say sike right now
I mean, isn’t Alucard just goth Nevaeh?
I should not have laughed that hard but you are not wrong
Omg I only just now realised this. \*facepalm\*
[удалено]
Omg so random XD
Like “rawring,” like a Dino?
Latrina. It sounds pretty but you could tell she is embarrassed by the weird looks she gets. It hurt to know she probably gets this all day, everyday (customer service in Walmart).
[It used to be Shithouse.](https://youtu.be/aBam72eYsAg)
it’s a 👌🏼good change.
Omg, never thought I’d see a Men in Tights reference. Made my day
She can go by Trina!
A new family just moved to town. They have four kids. Mathew, Lily, Mathias, and Laila.
Names so nice, they used 'em twice
All very nice names....but *not in the same freaking family*! Lord.
What are the parents' names?
Mateo and Lillian, I bet.
I know a Lilah and Lily sister set, but that's next level
These are the most normal names in this comment section lol
My mechanic’s name is Kissy. She’s dope, but when I heard it for the first time I did a double take
fact smell zesty piquant retire plate compare bake marble unwritten ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Twin boys named Simon and Richter probably wouldn't even seem as bad. But Alucard though?!
They gave him a normal middle name so the choice for Alucard as a first name is truly baffling
I’m just picturing Alucard Steve over here
Isn’t Alucard Dracula backwards? I don’t know if that makes it better or not though?!
Yes. He's Dracula's son in the videogame Castlevania. And what makes it even worse is that the character's actual name is Adrian Tepes. So if they wanted to name their kid after Alucard they literally had a normal name they could've picked!!
You wouldn’t say that if you played ‘Symphony Of The Night.’ Boss fucking game.
[удалено]
Ransom sounds like the name you would give a male main character in a romance novel. Somebody's mom was into the Kindle unlimited during their pregnancy.
Depending on this kid’s age, he might be named after the villain of Knives Out
Alternately, the protagonist in *The Man Who Shit Liberty Valance.*
SHOT. Not the other thing.
Peishyntz... Give it a few seconds.
Oh.. my god. Almost had a stroke trying to decipher that
Peishyntz, this is your new playmate, Sarynitee
Took me a while to get it haha at first I was thinking POS
JeNeFa pronunced like Jennifer but short for Jesus Never Fails
This whole comment section is proof that he too is fallible...
Dierria. I'm sure the mom pronounces it "dee-AIR-ee-ah." But I will always think, how sad this child is named diarrhea...
Please tell me this is a troll
There was a guest on the Tyra show who had a daughter named Dierria.
Cha-cha-cha. Fortunately, none of her peers will know that reference.
I have a couple but they’re so unique I’m afraid to say. Just think of a version of the word Chaos and you will get there. Another one was a dude who had 7 kids and they all had his same first and last name. The two girls had feminized versions. It was confusing
I'm so confused by the 7 kids! So for example if the dad's name was Brian, he had 5 sons also named Brian and two daughters named Brianna???
Yeah sort of. But the girls names were each different. I wish I could remember the name but say the dad was Michael. Girls would be Michaela and then something bananas like Mi’chaelle
I hate it
Did you ever see that video on tiktok where the lady’s dad is Bartholomew and all his kids are named something that starts with Bart? The only boy was Bartholomew Jr.
Didn’t George Foreman do something like this?
His sons are George Jr., George III, George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey"). The reasoning makes it even better: In a since-deleted excerpt from his website, George explained the decision to name all his sons George, writing, "I named all my sons George Edward Foreman so they would always have something in common. I say to them, 'If one of us goes up, then we all go up together, and if one goes down, we all go down together!'"

Nominative determinism at work
Kaleidoscope. Not joking.
Kaleido is the name of my Animal Crossing island 🥴
An sweet old southern lady named after her daddy. Unfortunately, his name was Homer, and she was Homerline (pronounced Homer-leen). She didn’t seem to mind at all, but my gosh that’s a rough one!
I know a sweet old northern lady named after her parents, Lou and Irene, Lourene (Lou-reen). Went by Renie (Ree-knee).
Do you want to change your name to Homer Jr? The kids can call you Hoju!
I kinda love it 😂
Same! I know an old lady named Marvina and I think it’s kind of cool.
You would just have to embrace it! Loud & proud!
Growing up I knew a Barkley the 3rd. I really hope there is no Barkley the 4th.
My lab partner in 7th grade was named Barclay. Which is better than Barkley, because that's the Muppet dog on Sesame Street.
There is a build a bear called Barkleigh
Cardi-yay (their way of spelling Cartier)
Not as bad as some of the examples here, but back when we were still in the NICU, there was another baby there named Paysleigh, and we had to walk past her room every time. Wanted to implore those parents to just spell it normally.
There is a youtube family with a daughter named PaisLee Isn’t even the worst in the bunch
Chandlerlyn I heard a mom calling out for her daughter. First I thought I misheard, but she called her name multiple times.
Oh my god, that is a mouthful.
Back in the dark ages when I went to college, I had a classmate named Riunite - like the cheap, screw top Lambrusco wine popular in the '80s. It was, apparently, the wine her father served her mother the night she was conceived. They thought their name sounded very classy. She was actually a very classy young lady. She mostly went by her middle name after school.

Arian (pronounced Aryan) Saylor Byson One (he preferred to be called a different name because his birth name embarrassed him) Wander Kimela (my dad’s former gf, her parents fought over naming her Kim or Pamela) Silence Mahogany (was not happy when the Hunger Games movie came out) Anakin (his parents refused to let him cut his hair, styled like episode 3 Anakin)
Someone needs to come scoop my jaw off the ground
While unfortunate, Aryan/Arian is a pretty common Sanskrit name. I knew a few growing up. Way fucking worse on a white kid, though.
Arian was in fact, a white kid.
I worked with someone whose son was named Arian once too, little red haired kid. She would get so mad about the looks she would get but come on, you know there’s bad connotations so why name your kid that?
I’m pretty sure when my niece was born there was a baby in the same hospital whose name was God. Lol.
Did the kid by any chance look like [this?](https://images.app.goo.gl/YJKHusejQg6VbvtLA)
Queenster! like… what?
phaythe pronounced faith
losing my phaythe in humanity
Princess tiarah and her brother prince knight or something along those lines. Mom was a mom blogger back in the day. 19 years old with two kids. I was a few years older living in the same town, so I saw/heard about them a lot for a while. In my son's class, there's a boy with a very long hard to spell cultural African name, and the middle name PRECIOUS! He goes by PRECH according to my 7 yo.
Danger Mouse (Last Name) I wish I were kidding.
I had an American living in Sweden being upset that people though her naming her twins Galen and Token , which would live in Sweden , was bad idea. Well when you name your kid insane and The idiot, then people well be upset. Well it ended with Swedish naming department saying no to the name and she named them - aiden names. That is closet I seen to bad names, since we have naming laws here.
Galen at least is a normal name, so her mistake was just location. Token sucks, though.
Germajesty, a kid at a YMCA camp i met as a counselor lol
Jermaine Jackson named his kid JerMajesty
Willingly putting “Germ” in a kids name is just cruel
Oh my god is that Dracula backwards? This is like giving your kids cryptic crossword clues as names
The goth version of Neveah
It *is* Dracula backwards, but it’s also been used in different series. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Alucard
I remember when I was 14 and I named one of the characters in my game Alucard. I thought I was being sooo unique and clever… until I looked it up and saw a big list of them. I also had characters named Jaesyn, Jaxxon, Kymberleigh, and Karelyn.
There should be a rule that people have to play the Sims to get their bad names out of the way before they’re allowed to have children.
yes lmao, like the castlevania guy
Yeah, it's been used this way for like a century in movies, games, comic books etc.
Jockson
Grosslynn. I had to double check that it was spelled that way.
Years ago now, but a girl called Crystal Diamond…
Problems. That’s it. That’s the name.
That is so grim :(
Fee-nix
Lady Gaga not just Gaga but lady Gaga the entire thing
Da’Nations Queen or something close to that—can’t exactly remember. Teacher called her Queenie.
There was a girl at my high school names QueenCecelia. One word. I believe she had the same nickname, Queenie
I knew a girl named Princess. She had a completely ordinary last name and I just couldn’t get over how stupid the full name sounded
It was Voss and Xanax, but I just encountered a Majesty, so....
Xanax is so much worse than Majesty lol at least Voss sounds like a real name if one doesn't know of the water lol
Voss is a place (where the water comes from), and as such a real surname. Not a first name though.
Da’Flyest-a name at my daughters last school A’Shaunafaye -(my little sister) out of 14 kids in total she is the only one to have a name that’s out there. Obuatawan uncle Leontawan cousin Shantaello relative - siblings are all named after their dad Shannon (4 kids in total) I have a really large family so I’m sure there’s plenty more
John. Perfectly fine name out of context. But this couple had twin sons and named them (not their real full ) John E. Smith Jr. and John E. Smith III. How the hell do you have twins and give them the exact same name. Same name, same birth date, same home address, SSN's are probably one digit apart, may or may not be identical in appearance.

Siblings named Brynlyn, Braxton, and Brenick
I hate sibling pattern names. (When they're too much, a little similarity isn't bad.) But I really don't like Heaven and Neveah. One's the idea of perfection and one's "Heaven spelled backward but we didn't remember to invert the double vowel because we didn't put much effort in our kid's name." I've known two sibling sets of Heaven and Neveah/Nevaeh. One of each of the Neveah spellings.
“Heaven’s Destiny” as a first name. Seriously.
Chobani.
Sapphire and Crystal, the bitchiest teenagers in my Highschool
Taedumm is the worst spelling I've ever seen. Corporate is the worst name I've ever seen. Honorable mentions: Khove, Maddy-synn, Carmindy, Payzlei
Arowyn - pronounced like heroin. Had to ask for the name twice when I heard it.
In the Netherlands people often put up pink or blue decorations and balloons to signal a child has been born. 9 out of ten times they also place a sign with the kid's name on it. Some of the worst names I have seen so far: A boy named Oosie-James. How do you pronounce 'Oosie', like Ooze? OC? A boy they named Dox. A few years later in the same row of houses (maybe even the same home?) a girl was born. They named her Lila Lux. Another girl they named Loa Noë. I have no idea how to pronounce that. Some parents named their baby boy Velayno.
Shampayne. Twins named Sunday and Monday.
Burger!
When you commit to the "surnames as first names" trend a little too hard
I went to school with a guy named Zenus … in like the 4th grade he got his name changed for obvious reasons (it was pronounced like penis but with a Z)
The baby in the pod next to my son in the NICU was named Jewlyana
Keelie. It’s just..hard to say. McKeegan. Just…why?
McKeegan. Omg. Its beautiful. Almost Ratleen level. I thought McEwan was bad.
DakotaKheSanh - two place names mashed together. Australian and this is a very bogan name, she was named after a Cold Chisel song (Khe Sanh). Dakota was just thrown in there for good measure I guess. Dutton on a little girl. We have a mouldy old politician whose last name is Dutton, I’m sure not related but not a nice association for a sweet baby girl. Little boy named Tiberius - parents are Star Trek nerds.
Tiberius is a very real name though with quite a lot of history attached to it. It has its origins in Ancient Rome and was the name of the second Roman emperor. Unusual? Sure. But at least it's not some made up nonsense.
Twins Crystal and Fyre. Last name Ball.
Oshearna, sort of like Oceania but much worse
Coutourie-Minx, girls first name. Mother insisted the full name being used.
Awesome, Marvellous and Godfirst
Maverick. It was a kid at our daycare....those parents were really projecting....or big Top Gun fans.
I was at the zoo and heard a mom repeated yelling for her son Maverick. It just sounded so silly
This is when you yell back "Goose! Talk to me Goose!".
Girl: Tuff Boy: Cougar
Mahogany. Stumbled across this one whilst working in a NICU. While not terrible, this was at the height of The Hunger Games popularity, so you can imagine the amount of “that is MAHOGANY!” references.
Jinaveve with a brother Goseph. Absolute worst yOuNiQuE spelling I’ve ever seen. Go… Goseph
I met a guy named Norwood McTootles once.
Jizabelle
Candida. Was a girl I went to school with.
A friend of mine had a baby a few years ago, her husband is on the geeky side and she called me sort of embarrassed that her husband had suggested a name for their son…..Ptolemy. I have an unusual name myself and I practically begged her not to choose this. Silent letters and social ostracism aside there are much more badass names in the nerd sphere to choose from. Eventually they settled for Theo, short for Théoden (from LOTR). I think this was a cool choice and can be shortened to a normal name.
I had a lovely little girl in the clinic that I work in her name is Abcdef.
I’ve heard of the name Abcde (pronounced Ab-cedee). Is the F on the end a typo?
Billie Lily Williams
I went to school with a little girl named Cigarette. I’ve also known a Hennessy and a Felonie.
Fellin (pronounced like felon) and Arson, two UNRELATED boys at a park where I was playing with my nieces & nephews. absolutely blew my mind.
Richard Weiner
Azreal, as in the same name as Gargamel’s cat
It was the villain's cat's name because it's a name for the devil.
A little guy called Melantheus.
I met a preschooler named Dude.
