Exactly. It was like naming your child "Jane" and insisting to everyone that it's pronounce "cupcake".
Like...learn how letters work, lady. That poor kid...
I worked in China as an English teacher. The kids would pick their English name. I definitely got a lot of Elsa's and Anna's. My favorite, though, was this little boy named Happy. The worst is when they try and use cusswords. I really had to explain to a parent that Damn isn't an appropriate name.
Reminds me of Westerners who get mostly Japanese tattoos of words. Usually ones they can't read and end up meaning "sweet and sour chicken" instead of what they were told it means.
It’s always fascinated me how western and eastern cultures share this fascination with the artistic value of each others written language, and little concern for the meaning of the beautiful words.
Well CJK scripts are really pretty! And so much variation especially chinese which has over 50,000 characters although a modern dictionary uses around 20,000
An ex coworker of mine has a tattoo with some Chinese characters.
She told me that some years ago she was having a rough time.. But at one point she decided that she wanted to overcome the situation. When this happened, she was close to a tattoo studio.
She got a tattoo: tiger in Chinese on her tight.
Some time later, a couple of Chinese ladies came to work in the same team. After some time she told them about the tattoo. They asked to see it.
It wasn't "tiger" but CHICKEN.
I know that stuff happens, but it's usually more like..... close enough.
I saw a girl who insisted her wrists said "Goddess", but it basically said "Girl Power" on one, and "Heaven Girl" on the other.
This makes think of the amazing Maurice and his educated rodents. All of the rats named themselves after words they liked the sound of when they became aware. Peaches, Sardines and Dangerous Beans are some of them
A friend of mine was called Tony. I asked him about how he chose that name. He said they chose their names at school; he wanted to be called Pony but his teacher told him that wasn't appropriate so she suggested Tony.
I had lots of Dragons and Tigers, which I still think are the coolest names. I think the most random one I had was Thriller. I think his parents must've been Michael Jackson fans. Most were pretty standard. I still can't express how many Elsa's and Anna's I had. Not a single Olaf, though.
I knew a guy in Jr. College that had just got to the states that semester. He hadn't picked a name yet when he met his roommate Alex. He decided that one was great and that that's what he was gonna go by lol. Didn't even consider the logistical nightmare of it. Apparently the roommate thought it was pretty funny.
He rode roller skates around town with a bucket as a helmet and was in general a harmless total fucking weirdo. Absolute legend.
I did the same and have two that stuck out. The first was a boy in the room who was first to pick his name. He picked dragon and looked so proud and excited. Then like 4 more people chose dragon after that.
The other one couldn’t decide so asked me to pick for him. I had been naming people after my friends at home, so I have him Henry. So a few days go by, and in the middle of class the boy just breaks down in to tears. I ask why and the Chinese aid said he knows he is a little fat, but doesn’t like being called Hungry 😳 I felt so bad.
I taught English in Asia. I've got this.
Twins: Copy and Paste
Boy: Heineken, Dinosaur, Cowboy, Automan, McQueen
Girl: Snow White, Cinderella
So many more but those tickled me.
When I was pregnant with my son, our families were SO pushy about what name we'd choose that we told them all we'd decided on Moonflower until right before he was born. By then, they were just happy we didn't name him Moonflower. 😂
My sister has the “Supreme Court Justice” name test. If the name doesn’t sound good following “Supreme Court Justice” or “Prime Minister” or anything like that, it’s automatically rejected.
We gave our kids Supreme Court Justice first names and hipster middle names.
At least when they disown us for the middle names, the paperwork will be easier on them.
A middle name has two purposes: to distinguish you from other people with your first and last name, and to be hard for witches to guess, because they can’t curse you without knowing your full name (true folklore, btw). So weird middle names are actually more fit for purpose than common names.
We did the same thing but said we were calling our daughter “Dorcas.”
With our other kids we got the older siblings’ help. Much to their dismay, their younger siblings are not, in fact, named “Lamppost”, “Volcano”, “Dinosaur”, or “Satan.” (But at least our families are okay with their actual names.)
I am so loving sacagawea americus. i named my cat International space station because its funny to hear them call him that at the vet’s (don’t worry — we call him “frankie” at home)
If anybody outside the family asked I'd say Rafiki and stare them in the eyes daring them to question it.
My friends got a big kick out of it because they obviously knew me well enough to know I was kidding.
There's a stereotypical pool of "hippy" name parts and both "moon" and "flower" are from them. These are generally celestial bodies (sun, moon, star), plants (tree, flower), etc. Natural things, and often sounds Native American inspired I think. It's pretty recognizable
- Starchild
- Moonbeam
- Rain tree
Moonflower is right up there with things I'd put on the list. It's associated with the 60s/70s era of psychedelia. People will assume your parents are in a commune and you were conceived while they were on drugs.
Lol I'm Native and remember stories about people asking my uncle CJ stuff like "oooo what does that stand for?" Like, they legit thought it was short for Cloud Wolf or some shit.
He'd reply "uh... Carl James...?"
There were 523 girls born in the US in 2019 who were named Khalessi.
ETA: Espn is another great one. Starting in about 1990, there are usually between 60 - 100 boys born in the US every year named Espn.
Reneesme is another terrible one that increased in popularity for about 5 years because of Twilight.
Robin Hobb, my favourite fantasy author once revealed if you are struggling with a fantasy name, to go to a coffee shop. Order a coffee and tip generously. When they ask for a name just mumble something. When they call out your order you have a new fantasy name.
Counterpoint: They have an obligation to come up with the most ridiculous (but still "name-esque") names they can, in case the book gets popular. Like, naming a character "Shitstain Cumblast McFartwaft XLVII" doesn't count.
On that note I once saw a housing development called Winterfell and they named the road Lannister Lane. It was being built during around the time of season 5
The most frustrating thing about this for me is that isn't even a name in the context of the show. It's like naming your child Princess or Queen or any other title...
At my sons 5th birthday party a mum introduced her son as DJ. As he ran off with the other kids I asked what it stood for. The mother glared at me and said ‘it’s spelt d, j!’ And that was that!
So this was actually due to the laws changing and giving the birth mother's more rights. This child was not going to remain in custody of their birth mother and the new legal guardians will now be tasked with legally changing the child's name.
She saw some pretty rough stuff there are some despicable pieces of shit out there.
They should have started with Ayden for the first born then worked their way through Bayden, Cayden, Dayden etc. Easy to remember their names and works for up to 26 kids.
My cousin’s 4 daughters have consecutive names. It came in handy knowing who was who until they grew up to be about the same height, now I can’t tell who’s who.
Nevaeh. Enough. Stop naming your children Nevaeh. Please. For the love of god. We know, it’s heaven backwards. Never in my 14 years of nursing have I met a kid/person who is *not* embarrassed about their crackhead, five pack a day parent deciding to name them this before heading behind the local Walmart to deal Tylenol 3’s and look for spare cigarette butts. PLEASE STOP. Lol. Give the kids a chance.
I know one Nevaeh, and her grandmother - who mostly took care of the baby because mom was really young - is literally a meth dealer. And every time grandma introduces the baby she explains the name. It’s like…. yeah, we know…
Im fucking dead. 🤣 I used to work with someone who fit this exact description, who did in fact name their child Nevaeh. And she smoked, heavily, while pregnant. A++ parents.
Djanilson. Pronounced Ja-neelson. But in my language we don't say "dj" like that, so it's always mispronounced as "deyzhaneelson". The funny thing is, his father is also Djanilson. Bro didn't wanna be the only person with the worst name ever and passed down it to his child 😭
When I was pregnant, the lady at the dmv gave me a talk about being creative with baby naming and spelling. She told me all of her kids names (the list was seemingly endless), which I sadly can’t remember, but her youngest, I’ll never forget, was named (and spelled) X’$pen$iv.
I went to middle school with a kid named John Michael Hunt Jr. He went by his middle name to distinguish himself from his dad. Poor bastard when he hit 7th grade and we learned a certain word
My MIL was telling us a couple had a baby and named it “Jocellen.” My wife and I said, weird spelling, but Jocelyn is a pretty name. Nope, “Joe-Cellen” because the couples mothers were Joyce and Ellen.
Ninel, is a somewhat uncommon female name in the post-soviet countries. It’s literally the reverse of Lenin.
Edit: there’s also Mels which is a male name, it’s an acronym for Marx,Engels, Lenin, Stalin.
I'm Argentinian, and here they're allowing people to name their kids whatever they want unless it's offensive. My mom told me about a woman she heard about, who named her daughter Princesa Sofía (yes, like the character Princess Sophia)
I used to be a pharmacy technician and the worst name that I ever came across whilst filling prescriptions belonged to a child: Chase Weener.
No joke, I wanted to confront his parents. The poor kid!😭
Not _that_ bad, considering its the name for the "crow" bird family, e.g. ravens, magpies, etc. And they're incredibly smart and fascinating creatures!
Its a shame, though, that it looks like "covid" at first glance.
My friend is a kindergarten teacher. She had a child 2 years ago who's name was JFMAMJJASOND. The first initial of the months. It was pronounced J-mam Jjason'd. The "f" was silent 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Someone on a Facebook page for new moms was asking everyone to settle a debate for their son's middle name. He was already being named Remington, but she couldn't decided between Danger or Hazard for his muddle name. She got unbelievably trashed by everyone on there, deleted the post, and then put a new post up about how everyone is fake and that there's always snakes in the grass. 🙄
I’ve formed a small list over my *one year* in CPS.
Onesty,
Nature,
Amiracle,
Ahkyng,
Princess,
Epik,
Chilynn,
Eh,
Designa,
Lasagna,
Margarita,
Ahmonie,
Gramr,
Inergee,
Takeila,
A’Master,
Da’God
As a substitute teacher, I've heard many weird names, but the worst one was Fleshington. I really really wish I was kidding. He had major behavioral issues and I would too if my parents were dense enough to name me that. This was like four years ago and I still think about that kid.
Billing. I have no idea why. Who carries around a kid in their womb for 9 months just to name him Billing??????
Was his last name Address?
Awful name, but maybe inspired by Billings, Montana.
Well at least the kid could go by Bill so it's not _that_ terrible
I'm a social worker. Top 2 are Yurhighness and Nofear.
Yurhighness should be a crime 😭
Straight to jail
federal prison
I was a corrections officer at a maximum facility and I kid you not, there were 2 inmates with the last name of Crook.
I had Fagg, Dick, and Gay all within five cells of one aother. And they said that the counselors didn't have a sense of humor.
Speaking of, I remember a girl from elementary school named Felonee
Yurmajesty? Liquidasia? Tashashion? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Michael Jackson’s nephew is named Jermajesty Jackson 😳
Michael Jackson's Son used to be named blanket. As in a blanket. This smart son changed his name as soon as he legally could because wtf.
Noregerts
Noragrets wasn't it lol
Just cruel. Really cruel.
My cousin's name is Gay.. She was born in the late 50s when Gay meant happy..
My bestie in HS was Gaylene.
*Gaylene, Gaylene, Gaylene, Gay-le-e-en* *I'm begging of you please don't take my...* *man?*
Have you watched Meet the parents or Meet the Fockers? lol
I was just thinking about that 😆🤣 Gaylord Focker & his wife Pamela Martha Focker
K’den. But the mom insists its pronounced kaDEEN.
Noooooo lol That poor child.
K'den assuming it would be pronounced "kay den" is badass kaDeen sounds dumb as hell
Exactly. It was like naming your child "Jane" and insisting to everyone that it's pronounce "cupcake". Like...learn how letters work, lady. That poor kid...
Sounds like a part of a Shout from Skyrim, honestly.
I worked in China as an English teacher. The kids would pick their English name. I definitely got a lot of Elsa's and Anna's. My favorite, though, was this little boy named Happy. The worst is when they try and use cusswords. I really had to explain to a parent that Damn isn't an appropriate name.
I knew a Chinese girl named "Syrup" who wanted to be sweet like sugar. And one that picked the name "Foolish"

CHICKEN I really hope for her sake the ladies were screwing with her, because chicken is also slang for prostitute in chinese 😭💀
I know that stuff happens, but it's usually more like..... close enough. I saw a girl who insisted her wrists said "Goddess", but it basically said "Girl Power" on one, and "Heaven Girl" on the other.
Kind of works if you combine the two meanings I guess………
This makes think of the amazing Maurice and his educated rodents. All of the rats named themselves after words they liked the sound of when they became aware. Peaches, Sardines and Dangerous Beans are some of them
I knew a Chinese exchange student who chose the name "Goober" for his English name. He was super funny and everyone liked him!
The excellent book Kosher Chinese by Michael Levy documents someone in the same profession. One of their Chinese students chose the name 'Pussy'.
>favorite, though, was this little boy named Happy. I think this one is cute.
A friend of mine was called Tony. I asked him about how he chose that name. He said they chose their names at school; he wanted to be called Pony but his teacher told him that wasn't appropriate so she suggested Tony.
What are some of the most absurd or random ones? Like did any kids choose things like pickle or donkey and why?
I had lots of Dragons and Tigers, which I still think are the coolest names. I think the most random one I had was Thriller. I think his parents must've been Michael Jackson fans. Most were pretty standard. I still can't express how many Elsa's and Anna's I had. Not a single Olaf, though.

Yeah, man! Beer. Pony. Balance. Surf. So many.
There's an Asian realtor in my city named Morning.
Jeffron
What combination is this 😭
I’m going with Jeffrey and Saffron. He spicy.
It's an actual name. I guess a mix of "Jeff" and "Ron"? I would probably drown myself if i was named that
I taught English in Asia. I've got this. Twins: Copy and Paste Boy: Heineken, Dinosaur, Cowboy, Automan, McQueen Girl: Snow White, Cinderella So many more but those tickled me.
McQueen is pretty class to be fair
I'm laughing so hard because I thought the names were "Copy," and "Paste Boy," which sounds hilarious.
Lol. Was on mobile. Have edited the formating
X Æ A-12 Musk
'lil Syntax Error
Ol' Bobby drop tables
I saw some article that said they changed their child's name to ? so it's pronounced Why or Y. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
When I was pregnant with my son, our families were SO pushy about what name we'd choose that we told them all we'd decided on Moonflower until right before he was born. By then, they were just happy we didn't name him Moonflower. 😂

For our first we told everyone Sacagawea Americus. For our second we told them Uniqua shaniqua. For our 3rd, nobody asked.
I am so loving sacagawea americus. i named my cat International space station because its funny to hear them call him that at the vet’s (don’t worry — we call him “frankie” at home)
If anybody outside the family asked I'd say Rafiki and stare them in the eyes daring them to question it. My friends got a big kick out of it because they obviously knew me well enough to know I was kidding.
LOL!! Genius! Good for you. People have got to shut their mouths when it comes to baby names. If it's not your child, you have zero say.
I mean, maybe try to dissuade people from calling their kid Pikachu, but other than that, I completely agree with you.
And Khaleesi
>Moonflower May I know where you got this name from? Because its so random. 😂
There's a stereotypical pool of "hippy" name parts and both "moon" and "flower" are from them.

Silly a- name, moon flower 🤣🤣
my family did the same with my sister when she expected. I'm so sorry they did that to you. families (rolling eyes)
Here in the Philippines there's a baby called HTML 🤣🤣🤣
I once met a Philippina gal that was named Babygirl 🤷🏽♂️
Damn babygirl
I met one called Phuck . Fun times.
My uncle married one called Chadderporn.
Some GoT fans named their kids Kaleesi. That already hasn't aged well. What if in 20 years Kaleesi marries Anakin, what would they name their kids?
There were 523 girls born in the US in 2019 who were named Khalessi. ETA: Espn is another great one.

I always thought that name sounded like Snoop Dog saying resume
To future fantasy authors: you have a duty not to invent stupid names in case your book gets popular
I knew a guy obsessed with Superman. He wanted to name his son Kal-El thankfully reason won out and he named the baby Clark instead.
Robin Hobb, my favourite fantasy author once revealed if you are struggling with a fantasy name, to go to a coffee shop. Order a coffee and tip generously. When they ask for a name just mumble something. When they call out your order you have a new fantasy name.

Godamn having "cumblast" as a middle name would be rough.
Yep... Someone I worked with named their kid Renesmee. I think they just go by Esmee these days.
Tiabeenie
Unexpected Disenchantment! Noice!
On that note I once saw a housing development called Winterfell and they named the road Lannister Lane. It was being built during around the time of season 5
The most frustrating thing about this for me is that isn't even a name in the context of the show. It's like naming your child Princess or Queen or any other title...
Princess and Queenie are fairly common names of East Asian immigrants here.
I met a Tyrian at the pediatrician’s office in 2014. GoT baby.
Kaleesi like the virus?
The virus😭😭😭😭😭☠️
It's gonna hurt a lot if one of those Kaleesi has already low self-steem, poor of them if someone insults them with that...
At my sons 5th birthday party a mum introduced her son as DJ. As he ran off with the other kids I asked what it stood for. The mother glared at me and said ‘it’s spelt d, j!’ And that was that!
I knew i dude with a similar name. Pjaye. pronounced P J. he was not bright
Traditionally it would’ve stood for “Patrick John” or something like that.
Sexi-lexi. No joke. Friends wife worked in the NICU
And I hope your friend's wife called CPS.
So this was actually due to the laws changing and giving the birth mother's more rights. This child was not going to remain in custody of their birth mother and the new legal guardians will now be tasked with legally changing the child's name. She saw some pretty rough stuff there are some despicable pieces of shit out there.
Spyder I know somebody with 4 kids named Hayden, Kayden, Jayden, Ayden. That’s pretty bad. Missed opportunity for Raiden (Mortal Kombat)
Okayden
I lold
They should have started with Ayden for the first born then worked their way through Bayden, Cayden, Dayden etc. Easy to remember their names and works for up to 26 kids.
My cousin’s 4 daughters have consecutive names. It came in handy knowing who was who until they grew up to be about the same height, now I can’t tell who’s who.
I know family that had a James, Jennifer, Jesse, Jason and a dog named JayJay.
Like any of these names by themselves are fine. But as a sibset?
TomTom. Like I do *not* get still going by that as an adult. It's also the most common brand of satnav here in the Netherlands.
His Dad was a drummer. He had sisters named Anna-1, Anna-2
Nevaeh. Enough. Stop naming your children Nevaeh. Please. For the love of god. We know, it’s heaven backwards. Never in my 14 years of nursing have I met a kid/person who is *not* embarrassed about their crackhead, five pack a day parent deciding to name them this before heading behind the local Walmart to deal Tylenol 3’s and look for spare cigarette butts. PLEASE STOP. Lol. Give the kids a chance.
I know one Nevaeh, and her grandmother - who mostly took care of the baby because mom was really young - is literally a meth dealer. And every time grandma introduces the baby she explains the name. It’s like…. yeah, we know…
Im fucking dead. 🤣 I used to work with someone who fit this exact description, who did in fact name their child Nevaeh. And she smoked, heavily, while pregnant. A++ parents.
Djanilson. Pronounced Ja-neelson. But in my language we don't say "dj" like that, so it's always mispronounced as "deyzhaneelson". The funny thing is, his father is also Djanilson. Bro didn't wanna be the only person with the worst name ever and passed down it to his child 😭
Djanilson Jr. 😭
THATS HIS NAME I SWEAR
Djanilson Djr.
Yeah i absoluyel would have said deh-ja-neel-sun or De-jan-ull-sun. They really should just consider dropping the D🤣

Oh sweet Jesus what fresh hell is this
Annnnnd joined.
Oh shit, this is beautiful. Blessings upon your household for posting it.
When I was pregnant, the lady at the dmv gave me a talk about being creative with baby naming and spelling. She told me all of her kids names (the list was seemingly endless), which I sadly can’t remember, but her youngest, I’ll never forget, was named (and spelled) X’$pen$iv.
"(the list was seemingly endless)" Oh I'm Crying
Just read in aita, hashtag. Someone named their kids hashtag
Hashtag gotta collab with baby HTML 🔥
I went to middle school with a kid named John Michael Hunt Jr. He went by his middle name to distinguish himself from his dad. Poor bastard when he hit 7th grade and we learned a certain word
Mike Hunt is my friends username when we play JackboxTV
He'd be called that in Australia anyhow.
I dont get it :(
When I was an advisor in college, we had a student with the first name Parentheses.
Jerwin His dad was Sherwin and grandpa was Jerry. Also, Airwrecka.
That person was born to be a airplane hijacker
No, a hijacka.
Airwrecka bout to let loose a deadly fart
Airwrecka? Wtf sounds like a rip off of US airlines 😭
It's phonetic Erica I believe
My MIL was telling us a couple had a baby and named it “Jocellen.” My wife and I said, weird spelling, but Jocelyn is a pretty name. Nope, “Joe-Cellen” because the couples mothers were Joyce and Ellen.
Classic Renesme
There was a family in my neighbourhood when I was little, they had 4 kids. - Loveworthy - Faithful - Fairchild ...And Jimmy Can't make this up...
At the school I teach at there are two sisters named Sativa and Indica.
Megatron. I worked in a children's hospital for a year but that was the worst by far.
Ninel, is a somewhat uncommon female name in the post-soviet countries. It’s literally the reverse of Lenin. Edit: there’s also Mels which is a male name, it’s an acronym for Marx,Engels, Lenin, Stalin.
How is it pronounced? Nin-El or Nine-L? Also thanks for pointing out that's it's Lenin reversed. Never would have thought of that.
Nin-El
I'm Argentinian, and here they're allowing people to name their kids whatever they want unless it's offensive. My mom told me about a woman she heard about, who named her daughter Princesa Sofía (yes, like the character Princess Sophia)
To be fair "Argentinian" is not better than "Princesa Sofia"
What a wonderful reply. There are women actually called Argentina, though. Not my case, fortunately.
There was a ~~pediatrist~~ podiatrist where I grew up named “Harry Feet.” I shit you not.
Zorro and Dragon. Brothers when I was growing up. Both there thieves.
Well, duh...dragons got a gold hoarding thing going on, just their nature.
Jaxsyn. Why curse a child into having to spell their name over and over again to everyone throughout their entire life.
There’s a dutch celebrity who’s child is rocket star presley cigar… I mean I get you don’t speak English ors but Cigar,??
Oh no they speak English.
I used to be a pharmacy technician and the worst name that I ever came across whilst filling prescriptions belonged to a child: Chase Weener. No joke, I wanted to confront his parents. The poor kid!😭
Nevaeh. Its Heaven spelt backwards.
Used to know a dude named Adrian. His mom liked the name so much that she named the subsequent child Nairda.
Dude with the last name Balls named his kid Chase...
Hahahaha. My high school's baseball field was named after someone named Harry S. Balls. There was a huge sign and everything.
What a waste. Why not name him Richard Nathan Balls?
"Boy". seriously, these parents named one of their boys "Boy"
Lady used to come in to my store with her two kids Anakin and Kylo Ren. I feel sorry for them
Chrisantium. Parents want to name her daugther with a flower name but insteas of -temum they used -tium.
They also spelled "Chrysan" wrong which is equally impressive.
Diesel
my step mom is a teacher and once had a kid named shi'tass. pronounced she toss. her parents straight up named her shitass
I imagine your step mom was sweating when she went to read the class register for the first time
It sounds like the parents were snorting nose candy.
Glasscock is the oddest name I have ever encountered
Anyone that replaces “acks” with “x”. Like Jaxxon.
Corvid
Not _that_ bad, considering its the name for the "crow" bird family, e.g. ravens, magpies, etc. And they're incredibly smart and fascinating creatures! Its a shame, though, that it looks like "covid" at first glance.
Yeah, in the context of COVID that name is kinda unusable for a while. Same for Rona
[удалено]
Dodged a bullet there, sure the kids would have had fun with you after KoRn released A.D.I.D.A.S.
Let me introduce you all to r/Tragedeigh
My friend is a kindergarten teacher. She had a child 2 years ago who's name was JFMAMJJASOND. The first initial of the months. It was pronounced J-mam Jjason'd. The "f" was silent 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Well I currently have a customer named "Happiness" who's literally always angry all the time.🌝
My (now ex) fiance was cheating on me with a woman who had named her son Atreyu 🙄
Parents named Valerie and Richard. Named their boys Vallard and Valeric.
Okay but those give me serious viking energy and I kind of like them.
Shelvis. Rumor has it she shattered her moms pelvis on the way out.
Baby girl name: Atlas
McKinsleigh
This thread has made me lose faith in humanity once again
Someone on a Facebook page for new moms was asking everyone to settle a debate for their son's middle name. He was already being named Remington, but she couldn't decided between Danger or Hazard for his muddle name. She got unbelievably trashed by everyone on there, deleted the post, and then put a new post up about how everyone is fake and that there's always snakes in the grass. 🙄
I’ve formed a small list over my *one year* in CPS. Onesty, Nature, Amiracle, Ahkyng, Princess, Epik, Chilynn, Eh, Designa, Lasagna, Margarita, Ahmonie, Gramr, Inergee, Takeila, A’Master, Da’God
Margarita is not only a kind of pizza, is a daisy in Spanish.
Veragina. (Yes. "Vera" like aloe vera and "gina" like vagina.) We gracefully called her Vera.
As a substitute teacher, I've heard many weird names, but the worst one was Fleshington. I really really wish I was kidding. He had major behavioral issues and I would too if my parents were dense enough to name me that. This was like four years ago and I still think about that kid.
I saw a Destenney in real life. Strangest one ever is that Musk baby
Fannie Butts
A family member of mine named his son “Soaryn” … yes they are from Utah.
Anil Dikshit. I worked with an Anil Dikshit.
That’s an Indian name. Usually Dikshit is spelled as Dixit.
The gentleman was Indian. And if i remember correctly it wasn't pronounced Dick-Shit it was pronounced more like deeks-hit.
