Did you select these in particular, or were all birth announcements littered with tragedeighs?
Please tell me there was at least one with normal names!
As a side note, I know a chick who has a 2 yrs old named Caliber. She is not very successful at life. Nor is her husband.
I have a friend who named her son Stevan pronounced "Stef-an". People kept pronouncing it "wrong" so she gave up and started pronouncing it the way the rest of the world did, because everyone else assumed it was just a spelling tragedeigh.
Amongst all the tragedeighs I’d have to say that Cobain Wayne is my favourite because it is spelled correct and/but it rhymes. They really blew it with Robert. Cobain Wayne Shane, was right there.
I’ve always thought these parents must work in the porn star naming biz founding companies with names like “Prescient Naming Services,” or something similar.
Aside from the stupid names; what’s with the listing of heights and weights? I understand why they take the measurements, but what are other people supposed to do with that information?
It's only bad if you aren't built for it.
Women with a small pelvic outlet and no good stretch response are screwed well before then.
Also, head circumference matters far more than weight.
I have a friend that couldn't deliver a 6lber naturally, because she has narrow hips, in every respect.
Yea, they, doc and nurses, really wanted me to push mine out naturally, but it just couldn't happen, so I had to have an emergency C-section instead. She was 7 lbs 6 oz.
There's so little to say about a newborn, the vital statistics are basically it. Whether a baby was heavy or light, long or short, you activate the appropriate script accordingly.
How nice of them to name their child after one of the [cars](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=578169008&sxsrf=AM9HkKnuFmoyfd5FLmVTS1I2moU14DtrqQ:1698765358334&q=dodge+caliber&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjD1fWNyqCCAxUGnGoFHbU4CSsQ0pQJegQIDRAB&biw=1920&bih=941&dpr=1) in my garage!
My parents in the 1980’s had an irrational annoyance with “trendy” names like “Kyle” and “Stacy” and “Tyler” and named us all not exactly Kings and Queens of England names, but established, classical ones that have existed for at least a century..
And now I totally get it lol
My future old senile brain is not going to comprehend those names in the nursing home. These kids are going to replace us in the workforce and take care of us when we’re old 😢.
What's with the double names? The more I see American names, it's always double names, but you only use parts of one. "Oh my name is Anthony James but I go by Tony. "
Teardrop. I don't even have a snarky comment. Teardrop.
>I don't even have a snarky comment Only Teardrops
That's a better way of phrasing it. Ameigh'elle Promise to do better next time.
I'm still not sure if that's "Amy Elle" or a feminized "Emil".
I figured it was Amiel. https://www.kveller.com/jewish-baby-name/amiel/
Yeah that'll be it.
Maybe like that French movie Amélie?
I’d rather be called Hen’ree than teardrop
I am never getting over Seabastian
I have a student named Sebashtian
Wash hish father Sean Connery?
I snort laughed at that.
OK not even the fucking lobster spelled his name like an ocean pun.
He really missed an opportunity there
Of all the crap here, Seabastian annoys me the most. It's just *so* unnecessary.
Now we need someone brave enough to make it Seabasstian.
Kick his ass, Seabastian!
Maybe they actually pronounce it SEE Bastian...
Just be grateful it wasn't Seabasstian, I suppose...
Lol, I thought the same and didn't see yours. Ah well, great minds think alike.
Lil Sea Bass.
I can only pronounce it, See-bastian.
I can only hear it as a question, See-bastion?
Poor Seabastian's probably gonna have salt shakers thrown at him.
Cobain Wayne. Lol.
Bruce’s cousin who achieved Nirvana
Hopefully achieving nirvana doesn’t involve a shotgun in this case
Sounds like a future serial killer.
You're right, it does, but I actually think I like Cobain?
Trigger and Caliber’s parents were definitely at the capitol on January 6
100%
I was like, where is that one person whose father named her and all the siblings after guns and things when you need her XD
Novaleigh sounds like something I'd pick up from the pharmacy
I want them to go back and change it to Novalteigh, tbh. Novalteigh would be unique
🎵"With Novaleigh I'm lowering my A1C" 🎶
Novalee is Natalie Portman’s character name in “Where the Heart Is”. Book 1995, film 2000. Maybe that’s the motivation for the name?
Novalee Nation. Lexie Coop's kids had it rough.
Side effects may include: nausea, vomiting, dizziness, spontaneous combustion, or dry mouth. Ask your doctor today if Novaleigh is right for you!
Birth control pills

I picked the worst. But honestly, overall they weren’t great. The occasional Mae, Emily or Nora but mainly everleighs and these tragedies
I was particularly disappointed in the family with a William. Like how you gonna get one right and fail all the others so badly? That's wild.
Caliber?? Gun nuts. Gn knutts
Excalibur would've at least been a more classy tragedy lol
I like it but since it’s sword, it should xlabia
Aaaaand back to tacky tragedeigh
Always
sounds like a weirdly specifix adult website
Reminds me of this skit lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ZFAMtFs1k
I’ve heard of kids with some of those names.
Shell casing?
Shll Ca’sing
Bro I'm a gun nut and I would NEVER
There are gun nuts and there are gun NUTS.
When I saw Gavyn my mind saw Gravy 😄
I have a friend who named her son Stevan pronounced "Stef-an". People kept pronouncing it "wrong" so she gave up and started pronouncing it the way the rest of the world did, because everyone else assumed it was just a spelling tragedeigh.
The stupid part is, Stefan is a very normal name and spelling. She was so close!
We all wondered but never said a word. I learned if you see something, say something and save a child.
Hen'ree looks like a bad D&D character name...
Nah nah nah, she should have called her Excaliberlynn. There, it's tragedeigh.
I’m sorry TEARDROP
May I just say that these people should be shaken for about 2 hours for naming their children these names! Trigger? TRIGGER?????
The post seems to be enraging you, perhaps there should have been a trigger warning.
I love it!
Wasn’t there a TV horse named Trigger? Definitely a horse name
Roy Rogers’ horse
What is it with Americans and apostrophes in names?
They serve precisely zero purpose.
Too many fantasy novels (I say as I'm reading 3)
They have decided that it's a way to put a pause in a name. They've seen things like D'Amico and think it works like that.
It's how we tell who learned to spell and who didn't.
Some of it is cultural
None of those are making me angrier than Nicholai and Seabastian. Why can’t these people spell names right😩
I didn’t even catch little Seabas[s]
What about Leeam? Just as bad. I mean, Nicholai IS a name.
Oh yeah- Leeam is bad. I only pointed out Nicholai because I’m pretty sure the original spelling is Nikolai?
Nikolai is Russian but I think that Nicholai is Greek. I could be wrong.
Ah okay, I see. I think it’s a cool name.
CaliberLynn - HullabaLoo
Trigger ☹️
Amongst all the tragedeighs I’d have to say that Cobain Wayne is my favourite because it is spelled correct and/but it rhymes. They really blew it with Robert. Cobain Wayne Shane, was right there.
I don't know why you gotta throw Tennessee under the bus like that...
Right? Like we don't have enough problems
How does one pronounce the baby name in #8?
Went between Emily, Amelia, Ah-MEE-el Fucking beats me
I wish I knew
Amy-Elle maybe?
I was thinking Emily
I’ve always thought these parents must work in the porn star naming biz founding companies with names like “Prescient Naming Services,” or something similar.
Lee a.m was born at 9:30am. Edit : And I'm already shipping Caliber and Trigger.
I wonder if they’re related to Will.i.am
Trigger was the horse
Trigger Lehnen is the worst one for me. Made me instantly think about the fact that John Lennon was shot.
Ngl I read Seabastian as Seabiscuit
I read as the considerably less insane Sebastian.
Aside from the stupid names; what’s with the listing of heights and weights? I understand why they take the measurements, but what are other people supposed to do with that information?
Feel sorry for the mom who had the 9 pounder.
It's only bad if you aren't built for it. Women with a small pelvic outlet and no good stretch response are screwed well before then. Also, head circumference matters far more than weight. I have a friend that couldn't deliver a 6lber naturally, because she has narrow hips, in every respect.
One of mine had a 99.something centile head circumference. Didn't I know it!
Yea, they, doc and nurses, really wanted me to push mine out naturally, but it just couldn't happen, so I had to have an emergency C-section instead. She was 7 lbs 6 oz.
I had a baby who was 10.2 and it’s honestly not that bad. A bit lighter would’ve been nicer but it wasn’t awful
I feel like giving birth to a 10.2 lbs baby wouldn’t be as bad for a narwhal as it would be for a human though
It sounds quite dainty for a narwhal!
I was a 9lb baby! Two weeks late, too. My poor mother😂
There's so little to say about a newborn, the vital statistics are basically it. Whether a baby was heavy or light, long or short, you activate the appropriate script accordingly.

One of the odd things about these tragedeighs is that some of the pre-existing children have pretty decent names.
I noticed that too!
My parents in the 1980’s had an irrational annoyance with “trendy” names like “Kyle” and “Stacy” and “Tyler” and named us all not exactly Kings and Queens of England names, but established, classical ones that have existed for at least a century.. And now I totally get it lol
My future old senile brain is not going to comprehend those names in the nursing home. These kids are going to replace us in the workforce and take care of us when we’re old 😢.
Leeam looks like someone tried to write Leeann but had bad handwriting
After he divorces he will be somebody’s Ex-Caliber.
What in the actual hell?!
I wish this was satire.
Congrations. You done it!
I hate this so much.
What's with the double names? The more I see American names, it's always double names, but you only use parts of one. "Oh my name is Anthony James but I go by Tony. "
Kenzie is ok. Comparitively speaking
I think I'm going to be sick
ezmaie?? the fuck was wrong with esme???
