A girl named Abcde

tbf, it supposed to ve pronounced Absedee. which isn't ugly phonetically, but being named Abcde???

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.

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

[–] svtdragon@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

"Heulyn" pronounced Hay-lynn.

Omg I didn't even notice that at first

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 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Think they'll name their next daughter Cheaughtgeughn?

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] Benchamoneh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 hours ago

Wonder what his wife thinks of this pregnancy

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 19 points 9 hours ago (2 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.

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago

Sorry, you are not legally permitted to name your son Jackson unless you carry the name Jack yourself.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 8 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 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Could have named him Jacob and called him Jax.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Or basically any J name, honestly.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Joseph, shortened as jax

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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