I knew a guy so ghetto he got his first name as his Xbox Live Gamertag.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The solution is to put all of the uniqueness in the middle name. Then you still get to feel “special” while not forcing your kid to go by “tragedeigh” or whatever.

When I chose my name - I made my first as milquetoast and appropriate to my age as possible. My middle I went balls out - I guarantee I have a cooler middle name than you do.

How dare you. You dont beat me, Faustus

"Heulyn" pronounced Hay-lynn.

Wonder what his wife thinks of this pregnancy

Can we just start using cosmic horror entity names already? Reighfyl is definitely something I could see being some sort of Lovecraftian alien

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Think they'll name their next daughter Cheaughtgeughn?

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Hah, maybe. I am gunning for just going full tilt and naming their next daughter Shub-Niggurath

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I named my son Jaxin because my wife wanted Jax and I didn't want my son to have a dog's name.

I regret not just naming him Jackson because nobody in Taiwan knows how to pronounce Jaxin.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Hate to pile on, but could have done Jackson and then called him Jax for short just as easily. Hell Dick is short for Richard, short names don't have to be spelled the same.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 points 55 minutes ago

Could have named him Jacob and called him Jax.

A girl in highschool whose name was Nazanine went by Nazi (Nah zee). Like, why? Your name was beautiful.

[–] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't have an issue with that depending on where you are. It's a nice name but lends itself well to a shortening of nahzee. In my area of the US and in the UK they often pronounce Nazi as Naht-zee so I don't think it's as bad as it could be.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Brayden, Hayden, jayden, tayden, kayden, rayden, shayden, cayden, pretty much the whole alphabet ending in den. And yes I met every single one of these

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

None of those are bad. It's when it's when it's like Breighleigh or stuff that it's bad.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 21 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago

I have no interest in having children, and if I did I wouldn't name them Tayden, but if somehow both of those things were true, I certainly wouldn't spell it Teighden.

A kid whose name is said "Akelah" phonetically, but is spelled "Akleah".

The guiness book of records had an entry for the worst spelling in the old days before the book was dumbed down. Trying to spell 'usage' the incorrect attempt was youzitch achieving only one correct letter.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 9 points 7 hours ago

Does using French count? Then I nominate "eau". Impressive 300% bloat, 0 correct letters.
