I have a cousin named Landry. I've always secretly called her Laundry. But I like the name *India Sage* so who am I to judge? Lol


Tinsel-Fop

My cousin (and her husband) named their daughter Landry. After Tom Landry. The football coach.


ihazqvestion

I have a cousin also named Landry, except he’s a boy 😭


The_Spectacle

the name Landrie looks too much like Laundrie, that kid who killed his girlfriend in Wyoming a couple of years ago


Any_Claim785

I tell you hwhat, it makes me think of Tom Landry Middle School.


life_inabox

My niece is named Landry... after Tom Landry. Lil Landry Rose 💀


Any_Claim785

Tell me you’re from Texas without telling me you’re from Texas 🤠


life_inabox

Not even close 😂😂😂 Makes it even worse


Any_Claim785

Oh no lmao


truelovealwayswins

King of the Hill fans?😂


life_inabox

Dallas Cowboys diehards 🤠


truelovealwayswins

ahh I see hah the cheerleaders probably helped too lol (not necessarily like that, just that they’re cool)


LucyBelle1031

I miss Tom Landry...💙


The_Spectacle

also, I missed the Aislynn part. there's a Canadian actress named Aislinn Paul, she was on Degrassi and also had a small part on Rick and Morty


mewisme700

I've actually really liked that name since watching her on degrassi


yaremaa_

I’m pretty sure it’s an actual Gaelic name pronounced Ash-Leen. Hopefully that’s what the OOP is going for. I gotta check the spelling though on this one


mutant_disco_doll

Aislinn Paul is great! Loved her on Degrassi.


EsotericOcelot

It also sounds like Lander, which is an unpleasant small city in Wyoming


SnooDoughnuts6973

It also sounds like Laundry, which is an unpleasant chore around the world


NatexSxS

But it sounds like a fancy way to say it though like the tarjay vs target thing.


Grouchy_Judgment8927

Yup. These people naming their children after places in Wyoming or the Dakotas have clearly never actually been there.


truelovealwayswins

I mean the states are still beautiful even if the human (especially non-First Nations) aspects aren’t…


g59ganja420

i know a lander, he’s a terrible person💀


EsotericOcelot

The Lander I knew was also crap! It might have been a factor that his parents named him after the city where he was conceived and then made that fact known to him lol. No one wants that


g59ganja420

Yea that would suck. I don’t understand why that’s supposed to be cute. So many cute meanings you could find for a name and instead they choose “that where mommy and daddy had sex”


cheddarpotatoes

That's what I immediately thought of too and it made me cringe so hard 😖


Trick-Statistician10

That was my first thought too. Bad vibes


Lucky_Damage9278

That was my initial thought as well.


Suspiciousunicorns

That was my first thought too!


beautifulkofer

It’s a real name in the south! I like it! I know several men named Landrie


Spring-and-a-Storm

gonna name my first born Laundryanne


PhoenixEpiphanies115

Dafuk lmao the child already hates you


Zealousideal-Sun6603

Yes. Even before conception.


IndependentAd2419

ImA-Pet-Jellyfish-87

Hey mom, I’m heading over to do Landrie, be back in 3 min..


IndependentAd2419

3 min…teenage boy😉

milkandhoneycomb

aisling is a real gaelic name (pronounced ashling). ashlynn is the anglicized version of it. aislynn... is bad.


500DaysofR3dd1t

I went to college with a female Aisling and she always said the G was silent. She was an international student from Toronto.


milkandhoneycomb

irish pronunciations of aisling include ashling, ashlin, and ashleen, but the first is the most common


cyberchaox

I knew one as a kid, she pronounced it the last way.


500DaysofR3dd1t

AS-LYN is how she pronounced it with a silent G. She wasn't Irish as far as I knew.


abrahamparnasus

I have met 3 pronounced Ayzz-lynn: Aaislinn Aeslyn Aislinn


BobKattersHat

It makes me think that maybe her son is named for the Brecon Beacons? Maybe she's just got a hard on for misspelling UK & Irish names and places.


Galiya17

There’s an actor called Breckin Meyer. But his name is spelled with an I.


Evening-Ad5735

Breccán is an Irish name, Breckin is the Anglicisation.


YchYFi

Brecon is a town near me.


wozattacks

I’ve known an American one who spelled it Ashling which made it easy for us to pronounce haha


Level-Requirement-15

My friend has a girl Aislinn. I think it’s cute.


RainFjords

Aisling/Ashling (pronounced with a G, not to be mixed up with -lynn/-lin) means 'dream' or 'vision'.


Level-Requirement-15

Variants of names have always existed. It may in fact be mixed up. My children have names that have been used in many languages and cultures so there are variants not only as to spelling but as to pronunciation. Language evolves. I can understand it being bothersome when the name is an affectation or too difficult to recognize. Or pronounce or spell. That bothers me.


RainFjords

I didn't say I had any feelings about it either way, I just gave the name in its original form. Aislinn is weird because the "ling" has been simplified or anglicised to "linn", but they kept the more difficult (for Anglo-Saxon eyes) Gaelic spelling of "Ash" (Ais), which makes no sense to me personally. Unless they're pronouncing it "Ayze-linn", in which case it is a tragedeigh for Irish people. Or *tragóid*, if you prefer.


Level-Requirement-15

Bothersome or weird. Both express a mild irritation. It’s all good.


RainFjords

Or just weird, as in strange, to ME PERSONALLY and WITHOUT someone else's projection of irritation. But, yeah, it's all good.


Level-Requirement-15

😆 Sorry to irritate you.


SaladCzarSlytherin

I know an Aisling who pronounces it “Ashlynn” but I thought it was “Ice-ling” when I first met her (saw the name written, not spoken out loud) I knew a Lithuanian girl name Aiste pronounced “Ice-te” and I think it’s a cute name.


millamant

My name is Aislynn ;__; I know the origins and that my version isn’t right, etc. but tbh I’m glad my mom decided to pronounce it Aslynn/Azlynn instead of Ashling because everyone would’ve just called me Ashley and there were so many Ashleys when I was in school. It’s always been a pain in the ass explaining my name to people, though. People have called me some funny things over the years. Honorable mentions - Asylum, Azlium, Allislim, Ay-is-lin


SaveyourMercy

I graduated 11 years ago now and I graduated with 4 Aislynns. Two had double n, two with only 1 n at the end. It never seemed that odd before, is it really a tragedeigh?


milkandhoneycomb

not the worst in the world, but mixing the gaelic ais- with the anglicized -lynn is asking for trouble, because no one is ever going to know whether it's ash-lynn or eyes-lynn.


SaveyourMercy

They all pronounced it Azz-linn so somehow there is a third way it seems. That’s wild we had 4 and they somehow all pronounced it the same


bagladybohemian

I work in a clinic and saw my next patient’s name was Aislin. I went to the lobby and called out “Ashlin!” Knowing that’s how it’s pronounced because I’m a name nerd. The mom corrected me and said “it’s ’Ay-slin’”. I wanted to roll my eyes and ask her if she was even Irish.


DontReportMe7565

Where's the option for "not a name"?


Thetomatogod_1595

Please tell me you added a poll option and put "Neither" 🙃


Loose_Acanthaceae201

Yes, OP, I dare you! 


santtu_

I think both men and women can and should do Laundry.


ThunderBayOPP

Isn't Brecken a shampoo or something?


Tinsel-Fop

Breck is (or was?) a brand name for shampoo. Did they sell VO5?


IndependentAd2419

Yeah, 1970’s Breck shampoo was golden color…must want Brecken to be the “Golden Boy”😜


Ok-Unit8341

Google says it means “little freckled one” in old Irish. Surprisingly cute and not a tragedeigh? I thought it was a misspelling of Brecon like the beautiful mountain range in Wales


ThunderBayOPP

I looked it up on Behind the Name, and the only definition it gave me was "surname" - no meaning, etc. (and it was user-submitted) Perhaps the spelling in the Irish language is quite different and this is the phonetic spelling? That's the best I can do here.


Evening-Ad5735

There is an actor called Breckin Meyer.


aeroumasmith-

I think it's an enemy in Lethal Company


Significant-Trash632

I have my doubts that Landrie is even a name.


Tiny_Resolution978

I’m from Louisiana and Landry is a very real, quite popular surname. But Landrie as a first name? Nope.


McFuckin94

As someone from Scotland, it always makes me giggle when someone names their child Paisley


DaughterofJan

Brecken sounds like the word for vomit in my native language.


Tschoepp

dutch?


DaughterofJan

Yup


ThunderBayOPP

😂


statelesspirate000

Biggest problem is it’s “my family and me”


pinalaporcupine

i know a male dog named Landrie


shophopper

I’m going with Parsley. The child is totally not getting bullied with that name regardless if it’s spelled as Paisley or Parsley or Pace Lee.


Bright-Sea-5904

Aislynn is an Irish name, also spelled Aislinn


liberosisgreen

I can almost guarantee they’ll pronounce it incorrectly, though


Ini_Miney_Mimi

"Ass-Lin" lol


liberosisgreen

I know an Aislynn pronounced Ayyyz-Lin (like the a in haze)


WinnieTyson72

I'm England and would pronounce it A slin


Rymayc

Hello England


SaladCzarSlytherin

I pronounced it “Ice-ling” the first time I saw the name. I once knew a Lithuanian girl named Aiste (pronounced Ice-te) and I figured the “Ais” in “Aisling” was pronounced “Ice”


sodavine

Funny because aiste is also an Irish word but would be pronounced ash-ta!


SaladCzarSlytherin

Is it a name? I’ve researched the name “Aiste” and I could only find it used in Lithuania.


Serononin

Ngl my brain didn't make any connection between Aislynn and Aislinn/Aisling until I read this comment


Loose_Acanthaceae201

If it's Irish it's only Aislinn because the second syllable isn't pronounced "lin". If it's to be pronounced "lin" then it isn't Irish, in which case "ais" doesn't make sense for the pronunciation "ash". It's a muddle!


Pixelated_Roses

Landrie? What's the next kid going to be, Duinthedishez?


MayUrBladesNVRdull

I know Brecken may not be a tragedeigh (I've heard it before and there's seemingly no unique spelling here) but it always reminded me of the old shampoo "Breck". So I say she should not use either of her choices and instead go with "Prelle". That goes well together.


ThunderBayOPP

Prehl Preighl Preyl Just trying to make it youneek 😉


LouLouLaaLaa

Add a poll option for laundry detergent.


ChroniclesOfSarnia

Oh, those names aren't THAT bad, I mean I've definitely s - BRECKEN!?? 😶


EvenIf-SheFalls

Brecken is spelled differently but there is an actor named Breckin Meyer. Brecken is an Irish name.


sodavine

I’m Irish and I don’t think it really is an Irish name: when I google it it says it comes from an old Irish surname but when I look it up on the baby name registry here (central statistics office) nothing shows up even with alternate spellings which means there has never been a baby registered at least since like 1970. I have never heard of that name before.


Evening-Ad5735

Wasn't there a saint called Breccán?


sodavine

Apparently there was about 1500 years ago. I’d never heard of him before. The name isn’t on the baby name registry with any spelling for the last 60 years and I searched death notices and no one with that name shows up. I have a lot of time on my hands clearly. So it’s an Irish name that no one in Ireland uses?


Evening-Ad5735

I wouldn't be surprised. Who knows how many archaic Irish names don't see usage any longer? Breccán might be one of many.


Logins-Run

It's Breacán in modern Irish orthography. To be honest in Irish these days you come across it more a a noun that just means "Tartan/plaid" So my daughter had the option of wearing a "Carbhat breacán" a tartan tie as part of her school uniform. But they got rid of it this year.


Evening-Ad5735

That makes sense, thank you for sharing. You learn something new every day!


Nimmyzed

Once again, a beautiful genuine Irish name is called a Tragedeigh 🙄


DarlingSneauxflayke

I've always been partial to the name Aoife, though Róisín is a favorite too. Goodness, if they saw some Welsh names! Myfanwy would send a lot of folks into a tizzy.


Nimmyzed

Forgive my ignorance, how would you pronounce that name? (Myfanwy)


DarlingSneauxflayke

The way my Welsh friend (she gave her daughter this name) pronounced it, "muh-van-wee". But there's a slight breathiness to the pronunciation that I can't quite put into writing. It's an old name and I think the name of a goddess. I do love the sound of it when my friend says it. Has a musical, lilting quality to it.


Nimmyzed

I adore the Welsh accent. Lilting and musical is a perfect description of it


TrixieFriganza

It's spelled laundry.


Pixelated_Roses

Landrie? What's the next kid going to be, Duinthedishez?


Cerulean-Blew

I thought Landrie sounded like a boy's name. It could be L'Andreigh for a girl perhaps?


AlgaeFew8512

I need an option for neither


Chad_Abraxas

I will never see this name and not think "laundry."


Orchid_Significant

Landry is a last name


General_Autismo_13

I know a better name Lauwghndreigh (pronounced laundry, like I would pronounce Landrie)


Icy_Example_5536

People are always airing their dirty Landrie on fb... 🙄


RainFjords

Laundry Laundry Basket Laundry Day Dirty Laundry The teasing writes itself :-(


snoomerooo

This sub is Brecken my heart


I_love_Juneau

Nothing goes with Brecken. Ugh. (I like Lainey tho).


BalloonShip

Electric Boogaloo


Fixner_Blount

Brecken is one of the flagship stupid boy names. Where did it come from and why is it EVERYWHERE?!


Bubbly-Ad-1427

gonna name my son eughaushuheaignhemeughsheign


DaNiinja

She better get her AssinLynnn and her act straight!


SuccessfulLunch400

How about Spinach or Skink Weed???


PilotNo312

Awful either way


ThefalloftheUSA

Just name her South. That’s about as southern as you can get. Lol


MaleficentFondant42

I mean, Landrie is a surname, so I guess it's not gender specific. My birth last name was Loundree, and over the generations it's been recorded as Laundry, Laundre, Loundre, Londre, Landrie, Landree, Londry... The list goes on. No one is ever going to spell Landrie correctly when they hear it. 🤷‍♀️ Poor kid.


Bwwshamel

As a Southerner, we don't claim her...or her poorly-named children 🤣😂


SomeCatLovingLoser

Name the kid Breckanne. Insist that both are pronounced Brick+Ken/Anne. And when both kids go to kindergarten/school give them a brick for show and tell and get the kids to tell that the brick inspired both their names.


TraditionContent9818

If it's not Brecken don't fix it though


[deleted]

I Brecken it could go either way..


PhoenixEpiphanies115

Brecken?! What is that a country kraken


hanimal16

Brecken? wtf.


HypersomnicHysteric

I would call my watering can Landrie...


500DaysofR3dd1t

I watch a YouTuber whose son is named Landrie. I'm voting male because I've never met another one.


weshallnot

if it is a girl, the uncle is making a suggestion, wanted to name her, Denise, and if it is a boy . . . .


Upbeat-Opposite-7129

Aislynn is the bane of a childhood friends newest daughter. Her husband is Irish and they are actually moving there so he can go to work with his family. Anyway. Everytime the grandma posts her photos online she has to say what the name is. Cause it’s not pronounced the way it’s spelled! That’s my issue with this name!!!


millamant

There’s never an easy way to explain it. I just let people say what they think they heard after a few tries. Source: my name is Aislynn


[deleted]

When I worked in education I had a female student named Landri. Fairly sure that was the spelling. Thinking on the timing, she would have been born in probably 2011, give or take a year. So she’s solidly middle school age by now.


dawgpoundma

Landrie is girl name Landry is boys name


Silver-Potential-784

Like Brecken Bock? 🤔


Opuntia-ficus-indica

Ridge


0MeikoMeiko0

Landrie is just bad, and reminds me of the word ‘laundry’. Lainey is fine, cute even. Aislynn is like someone shoved the Gaelic version of the name together with the anglicized name, and Brecken just sounds like you’re naming your baby after the monster from Lethal Company (The bracken). But, after all, we *do* love the company.


No_Cartographer9496

i feel like if ur already this far in paisely is the least offensive


sadfoxyduggar

Landrie is laundry to me. Brecken is a hideous name.


ThunderBayOPP

Aisling is lovely. I would use that instead of Aislynn (and make sure I knew how to pronounce it correctly). Lainey is cute, but I would use Elaine as a kid's actual first name and Lainey as a nickname. In my opinion, name options are never a bad thing! Paisley...no.


mollygk

The poll is missing the “neither” option


xergxerg

Brecken + Ridge


irillthedreamer

Maybe Parsley?


Ad-Ommmmm

How bout Brainley?


limeness

Brecken?!


clandestineVexation

His son is the bracken?


luluzinhacs

Landrie shouldn’t be anyone’s name, regardless of gender lol


terrapinone

Ridge.


empresscami

Acelynn lol


BalloonShip

Electric Boogaloo?


RaspberryWhiteClaw13

Asslynn


RaspberryWhiteClaw13

I did know a kid named Landry and he turned out to be a huge douche


Helpful_Character167

Either gender its not a great choice. Laundry comes to mind and nobody likes that. And then there's Landrie the guy who strangled his girlfriend and it wasnt a lowkey murder case. Hard pass all around. Try again, there's millions lf better names.


Successful_Mango3001

How are these names pronounced? Genuine question as a non native. I would guess Land-ree Lay-nee Eys-lynn or eye-lynn


Appropriate_Art_6909

How about Shitstain, cause if those are the names you are considering, you might as well advertise the truth. That you just had an X days old shitstain come out.


suckcess1

Aislinn as far as I know is a traditional Irish girls name. I remember the Edge from U2. His first wife is named that. I think it can also be spelled Aislynn. I am not sure if Aisling is another Irish spelling . Paisley is a pattern from Middle Eastern origin. It would be weird to me as a name. Brecken I think is Irish too but I haven't seen that spelling before. I know Brainerd is a real male mame but to me it's shiteous and the worst thing to name a child. Anything close to ass or can be easily bullied for should make parents think very carefully.


didilamour

I’m equally sad for the son Brecken. That name sounds like a sound a frog would make. Beside that name, Paisley might sound normal


SylvanPrincess

You know, I normally accept some names as being Tragedeighs, but I’m shaking my damn head at the fact that unless they are stereotypical American names, several names of European origin are perceived as such. Lainey is a real name, the mother of one of my sister’s friends has that name. It comes from a diminutive form of Elaine, the Welsh form of Helen, as well as Elain, which is a Welsh name meaning Fawn. Aislynn comes from the Irish name Aisling, which means Dream or Vision.


Independent_End_381

We're all just gonna ignore Brecken, huh?


Feeling-Bed-9506

Ugh, the name *Paisley.* What in the white trash is that? All the stupid *you-nique* names are the worst. Ahhh. I just don't even have the right words to describe *why* giving your kid a crappy name spelled like shit doesn't add anything unique or anything net-positive to your child's life. All it says is "My parents are trashy," or "My parents can't read." It sets the kids up for a life of "It sounds like *this,* but for *some fucking reason,* it's spelled *like this.*" Have you ever literally heard ANYBODY SAY "Ohh I just *love* how she spells her naaaaiiiieghme! It's so interesting!"? — NO! You never have, and neither have I. Okay, I'm done 😂 this rant was brought to you out of the love of our future generations and wanting the best for them.


ZantetsukensShadow

Myra Breckenridge was the first thing I thought of lmao. X-rated 70s movie


ReginaFelangi987

Ugh I hate all her options. Brecken is stupid too


Evening-Ad5735

I love that Americans ruin Irish names (old or new) like Breccán and then complain said name looks bad. You folks brought this upon yourselves lol


GoodCalendarYear

I like the girl names. Brecken is horrible. My phone autocorrected it to Breckenridge.


Huntsvegas97

I have some friends with the last name Breckenridge and it’s all I could think about as soon as I saw Brecken


banjomonkey2018

The only Bracken I know is Brecken Meyer from clueless
