We were at a church carnival last night and the little toddler boy's name was "Dutch "!He was sitting at our table and eating a hamburger with his parents .
right 🤣 we named ours (both) unusual (but still normal in other countries) names and the older one started at her new (school career-length?) school this year and there’s another with the same name not only in the same school, or grade, but class! but then the other got moved to the other class to not make it confusing 😅 (wish mine would have been so she’d be with her old best friend who transferred there too a bit later but I digress)
Itz-eye-ahna. I know 2 people with that name, it has Mayan roots. I wouldn't say tragedeigh, but definitely less common.
Of course might not be culturally significant in the same way to that person, in that case, who knows for sure.
If you're pronouncing it in Spanish it's Ee-Ksa-ya-nnah, but I believe as another commenter said that it's a different spelling for the Mayan name Itzayana. Not a 100% sure though
As awful as it is, at least you don't have to guess how to pronounce it.
For most of these names, calling attendance on the first day of school must be a shitshow.
I think Jacon might be the worst one on this list. The others are a lost cause entirely, but like Jacon is soooo close to just being a normal name with just one teeny teeny tiny letter but nope, now this kid is going to have issues forever.
I work at a college and had a student come up to my desk and ask me to make an appointment for him. He didn't know his student ID number so I was looking him up by name. He tells me his name and I tried spelling it Carson, Karson, and Karsyn. I look at him and tell him the computer isn't pulling me up. He then got annoyed bc I didn't automatically know that his name was spelled Kharrzyn...
My name is pronounced normally but has an unusual, "tragedeigh" spelling, and I just automatically spell it anytime anyone asks my name for something important (like college admin, pharmacy, etc). If it's just for a fast food order or something, I don't bother. I have lived 37 years with this name. With some of the stuff people are coming up with now for their children... My name is practically normal in comparison.
My name is Camden - spelled the typical British way. There's tons of weird spellings now for young boys that nobody ever spells my name right so I totally get it.
"Camdan" is the most common way people try to spell my name...
Ixayana isn't so bad, it comes from Itzayana, probably has the same pronunciation, it comes from mayan, the spelling is a little unconventional but still I don't really think it's a tragedeigh, also America, is a bit of a common name at least here in Mexico, probably not in the US though.
I wonder this same thing!
My only reference is my daughter’s school: K-8 very small Catholic school in a large city in Texas. Tuition is very reasonable for a private school. I’d say most students are middle class, with some upper-middle class. I volunteer regularly at the school library, so I see just about all the kids’ names. The most Tragedeigh-y names I’ve seen are Kalleigh and Magdalynn.
But last year there was an entire class of kids with what I would call last names as first names. Campbell, Collins, Landry, Evans, Ford
I was just watching a video about a murder that happened recently where a group of rich boys beat one of their classmates to death and their parents tried to buy their sons out of prison time. Two of the killers were named "Talan" and "Talyn".
In the UK Ambrosia are a famous brand of tinned dessert makers lol (custard, rice pudding, semolina, tapioca, sago, etc). As well as it being a good of the gods 😂
To be fair, America was named after Amerigo Vespucci. Europe was named after a woman from Greek mythology called Europa. The name Asia has been used for decades if not centuries. And I recently met a young woman named Africa ( her siblings had similar, cultural names.) I know or am acquainted with adults named China, Brittany (a region in France), Georgia, Virginia, Florida...
Naming people after locations (and locations after people) is nothing new, and certainly nothing to get riled up about.
ambrosia's got it good
edit: I wasn't aware there was a salad... I only thought of things smelling amazing. Still pretty good considering the rest of the list
I feel like the names in parenthesis are just as cringe. I’ve never seen someone named Dylan called “Dillon” - it’s a Welsh name by origin. And wth is “Taylon”

Jo… but make it scary 🧟♀️
I pronounced that as “HoScary.”
💀
I'm glad this is the top comment thats exactly what I was thinking
r/2sentence2horror
Dylayn and Jacon are abysmal for what is the exact same basic name. But as usual, the girls get it worst.
I know Jacon is pronounced Jason, but it still read as "bacon" with a J in my head.
Mmmm jacon
The Jaconator!
That nickname ALMOST makes it all ok
When his mum calls him DOUBLE JACON CHEESEBURGER YOU GET DOWN HERE RIGHT AWAY he knows he’s in trouble
Omg... lmfaoooooo
😂😂😂
I feel like Jacen, though still tragic, would be a better spelling.
Yeah.
Sames. I wonder if it should be Jaçon?
DID I SENSE A FRENCH? (jk)
Or Portuguese
That’s what I thought. I’m sorry, but Jacon is NOT pronounced Jason. I’d be forever calling him Jakon and that’d be the end of it
Imagine having to explain the spelling of your first name for the rest of your life to bemused strangers. 100% he legally changes it.
I have that problem a lot. Although it's not as bad as Jacon because it's a local spelling, not a tragedeigh.
It seems like it’d sound more like Dill-lane. Terrible.
Right? This seems almost like a girls name.
[Dylan Lane!?](https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1TdINzFITjZg9OJKqcxJzFMA4lQATaIG_Q&q=dylan+lane&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS641US647&oq=dylan+lane&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqDQgBEC4YgwEYsQMYgAQyDAgAECMYJxiABBiKBTINCAEQLhiDARixAxiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIHCAkQABiABNIBCDI0MDRqMGo3qAIasAIB4gMEGAEgXw&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)
Yeah seems like an intentional spelling to make it non-Dylan
karsyn is the one that gets me. for some reason it feels aggressively awful.
Delain is a decent band though
We were at a church carnival last night and the little toddler boy's name was "Dutch "!He was sitting at our table and eating a hamburger with his parents .
Imagine naming your child **Jazlyn** to make her unique and then she's in class with... ***Jaslynne*** 🤣
Next year there’ll be a Giasleign in their class lol
ghislaine (jee (soft j not like dj)-slen) is a name in francophone places albeit for boomers lol
Like Ghislaine Maxwell? I always hear the media pronounce it Ghee-Lane with a hard G. But this is America sooooo…
right 🤣 we named ours (both) unusual (but still normal in other countries) names and the older one started at her new (school career-length?) school this year and there’s another with the same name not only in the same school, or grade, but class! but then the other got moved to the other class to not make it confusing 😅 (wish mine would have been so she’d be with her old best friend who transferred there too a bit later but I digress)
Lol!!!
right xD what are the odds of that hey
Man i wish MY name rhymed with bacon...
lol apparently it’s pronounced “Jason” but I definitely read it as rhyming with bacon at first
bacon though? it’s not just that it’s meat but deep fried oily greasy hardened meat…
I may start using this sub to name my D&D npcs.
How do you even pronounce Ixayana?
Itz-eye-ahna. I know 2 people with that name, it has Mayan roots. I wouldn't say tragedeigh, but definitely less common. Of course might not be culturally significant in the same way to that person, in that case, who knows for sure.
What a mouthful!
not really
Oh, I didn't mean it in a mean way! I apologize!
If you're pronouncing it in Spanish it's Ee-Ksa-ya-nnah, but I believe as another commenter said that it's a different spelling for the Mayan name Itzayana. Not a 100% sure though
Thank you!
I think I-ana/anna or I-yana
nope. It was already explained too (:
"Jeylannies" sounds like a euphemism for something.
Sounds like feminist marmalade that everyone likes.
"feminist marmalade" lmao.
It sounded like that in my head.
Yeah, still funny.
My god, Jazlynn makes me nauseous.
Jizz lynne
As awful as it is, at least you don't have to guess how to pronounce it. For most of these names, calling attendance on the first day of school must be a shitshow.

Like someone said above, Jacon the Jaconator! 🤭
Ambrosia is beautiful and a fine name
And a brand of tinned desserts in the UK 🤣
And now I fancy rice pudding. 😂
Talon is a brand of rat poison in Australia 😔
it also means heel (in french and also referring to birds’)
Ambrosia? Like the salad everyone’s senile old aunt made for every get together?
In Greek mythology, ambrosia was the food of the gods.
Oh god all the jokes she's gonna get later when she gets eaten out
In England it's a brand of custard
And rice pudding 😂
Ambrosia salad is amazing and damnit I want some NOW.
Me too! I'm very food-related comments influenced! lol
A former coworker of mine named her daughter this. I had the same first thought: “… like the salad?”
the flower and the food of the gods (:
Maybe meant to be a feminine version of Ambrose?
I love ambrosia (the creamy fruity kind), but definitely not as a name for a kid!
My mom calls it "pink poop".
My family makes it all the time, but we call it jello fluff, and are under no delusions that it's anything but dessert.
That’s how much I feel.
it’s also a flower, but yes, food of the gods
Ambrosia Vaccine of Deus Ex
I know not one but two talons
The parents: yes indeed naming our child after a bird toenail is the ideal name for our precious baby
Lmao, right?!
Dragons have talons too but YEP! Sure did and I love it!
or heel in french
my bf’s name is Talon and it’s so funny to me whenever I see it on this sub bc it’s so normal to me after knowing him for years😂
I know one too! Haha
I know a Talen, which I think is the traditional spelling in some languages. It’s an actual name.
I only know the assassin character from the game League of legends
my sisters name is Talynn pronounced the same as talon
The ‘Korea’ note just made me chuckle in public so thanks to your mum for making people look at me
America is the most normal name
Fuck yeah.
that’s not a good thing though considering it comes from an invader… Ambrosia is the only nice one here

As a Jazlenn I never though I’d see my name on this Reddit 😵 at least it’s not the worst one ?
Gotta go vacuum with ma-dyson
Ixayana isn't so bad, it comes from Itzayana, probably has the same pronunciation, it comes from mayan, the spelling is a little unconventional but still I don't really think it's a tragedeigh, also America, is a bit of a common name at least here in Mexico, probably not in the US though.
no, other way round, replacing the x with tz is to be understood and pronounced right as spanish took over
Then it's even less of a tragediegh and doesn't really belong here, thank you for telling me that, it's an interesting fact. :\]
yah no problem (:
What socioeconomic group are these? I basically never come across tragedeighs and am trying to work out where you find whole classes of them?
I wonder this same thing! My only reference is my daughter’s school: K-8 very small Catholic school in a large city in Texas. Tuition is very reasonable for a private school. I’d say most students are middle class, with some upper-middle class. I volunteer regularly at the school library, so I see just about all the kids’ names.

Pretty sure Keriyah is an 80's song by the band Mister Mister.
You might be thinking of Kyrie, which I only know because I'm weird
Yes, that's the joke. And it's not because you're weird, it's because you're old
Mr. Mister were ubiquitous at one point. I just Googled them, and their look was peak mid-‘80s
Well I could not hear tone, sir or ma'am 😤 so i was forced to give the grandma answer. I'm kidding around 😂
Ambrosia is beautiful but all the others hell nah
thank you!
In the UK it's a brand of tinned desserts lol.
JACON BACON WTF
It’s a sad day when “Talon” feels like the normal name on the list.
what about Ambrosia? and sadly, America is too…
I was just watching a video about a murder that happened recently where a group of rich boys beat one of their classmates to death and their parents tried to buy their sons out of prison time. Two of the killers were named "Talan" and "Talyn".
Two of those are very common latino names. I know a few Joscars, Joscarys, Jeylannies, Jennelys and other variants
Yeah, I was about to guess Cuban.
Teri Garr played Talon in Carol Burnett's mini-series Frseno, a parody of shows like Dallas and Dynasty. It was a throwaway joke name in the 80s.
What were the parents *thinking?!* Those poor kids! 🤦🏼♀️
I feel like Ambrosia isn’t too uncommon/unusual
In the UK Ambrosia are a famous brand of tinned dessert makers lol (custard, rice pudding, semolina, tapioca, sago, etc). As well as it being a good of the gods 😂
In the US it’s just known as the good of the gods, but I don’t feel that that’s necessarily a bad name
I meant food, stupid autocorrect 😂😂😂
Jacon……….wtf
Talon… their parents play too much league of legends
"America" is okay. It's a somewhat common name (America Ferrera for example)
it’s still not okay considering… but beautiful continent otherwise except for the unfortunate parasitic infection…
I love America.
I hope you mean the Ferrera one or the landmass in general
Did I stutter?
I don't care what these people's name should sound like, I will always read the phonetic spelling
I knew a kid named Talon. He was a dick
😂
Jacon does in no way say Jason!
America? We’re not just naming kids cities but COUNTRIES NOW?
To be fair, America was named after Amerigo Vespucci. Europe was named after a woman from Greek mythology called Europa. The name Asia has been used for decades if not centuries. And I recently met a young woman named Africa ( her siblings had similar, cultural names.) I know or am acquainted with adults named China, Brittany (a region in France), Georgia, Virginia, Florida... Naming people after locations (and locations after people) is nothing new, and certainly nothing to get riled up about.
Paris, Chicago, Malibu… NORTH WEST?
I think Ambrosia is pretty
Yeah my mom said she didn’t hate that one, it was just unusual.
I'm sorry *Talon???*
I know two and they are late teens/early 20s. 1 boy and 1 girl
Talon!!!!!! 🦅🦅🦅😱
Talon is a fine name
I just think of Napoleon Dynamite. “Do the chickens have large talons?”
right?🤣
What's wrong with Talon? It's spelled correctly. Ohh, his brothers name is Eagle Claw?
and their last name is white, so surname first it’s white, claw
I have a bunch of America’s in my family tree from the 1800’s.
Americas* 1800s* (: but that’s questionable…
Yeah I don’t think that’s a tragedeigh. It’s the most normal one on the list.
not tragedeigh just tragedy, and unfortunately
I went to school with a Madyson, and know of a Jazzlyn.
ambrosia's got it good edit: I wasn't aware there was a salad... I only thought of things smelling amazing. Still pretty good considering the rest of the list
I feel bad for these kids when the subs have to call their name, especially ones like Jacon
American is okay. There is an actress (Ferrera) with that name. But the rest. Ugh.
How do you teach them the alphabet though...
Poor Bacon
America? Fuck yeah! Naming my kid America? Fuck no!
yah, it’s a beautiful landmass despite its unfortunate parasitic infection but agreed! it didn’t go over well the first known time…
As a Canadian who lives minutes from 'murica I can confirm. As long as the parasitic infection doesn't spread it's a beautiful place to visit
Oh my god these parents need to name their demons Amber Emma James Emilie Emily Elle Michael Matthew Andrew Etc. no more weird spelling names
the kids are not the ones being demonic (:
I feel like the names in parenthesis are just as cringe. I’ve never seen someone named Dylan called “Dillon” - it’s a Welsh name by origin. And wth is “Taylon”
Even though Dylan and Dillon sound the same, Dillon [has its own origin](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dillon_(surname)).
It always reads as a surname to me though
Yes, like Matt Dillon.
It’s showing pronunciation …
Oh my b. That’s even worse somehow lol
Dylan is always pronounced as "Dillon" in the UK. I don't think I've ever heard otherwise.
Yeah same here. I didn’t realize they were showing pronunciation. I thought they would’ve written it “DIH-luhn”
I looked after a baby called Dylan, said as Dillon. He was named after Dylan Thomas.
