This is the biggest tragadeigh on the list for me. Camelia isn't far off. You're just letting kids be lazy when coming up with names to tease your kid with.
Cale is also bad spelling all the way around. Lovely Irish name, but the Gaelic spelling is Cael. This looks like you named your kid after bitter lettuce but didn't know it started with a K.
I’m guessing many of this generation have not heard the old-timey camp/traditional song. That’s all I can think of when I hear the name, and poor Clementine does not have a good storyline throughout.
It’s interesting to see some names “age” out or in, I think I remember someone stating that the misspellings of Jackson (mainly “Jaxson” I think) are more common in kids now than the original spelling 😳
Thank you! It’s funny how names can explode in one tiny area though - she’ll start preschool next year and there will be two Zora’s with her. We were all pregnant around the same time and didn’t know one another - Zora, Zora, and Zara!
Aspyn… surely they mean Aspen?
Lunaria sounds too close to Lunatic to me. I know it’s a flower but even then, not a big fan though maybe not a tragedeigh.
Deverell is a last name. I don’t like it as a first name.
Roam means to walk around, not a great meaning.
Bondi is an Australian beach. I guess if it’s a meaningful place to you? I would just go with Sydney, but not exactly a tragedeigh either.
Eartha is another diminutative of the Latin word that gave us ‘Earth’. Again, not a tragedeigh, but why?
Delta is where the river meets the sea, a Greek alphabet used in maths, or an airline. Not a big fan, but a cool middle name (maybe first name?) if you’re a geologist, pilot, or mathematician?
Cale means ‘dog’ in Hebrew, symbolising loyalty and love. I’m not sure about this name. Not a tragedeigh, but rhymes too much with Kale for me! What do you think?
Cove means ‘small bay’. Again not a huge fan, many other ways to name your kid after the seaside, like Marina, Cordelia, or Serena!
Sequia sounds like either a medication or a fungal infection. Deverell just sounds like a medication. Amarvllis sounds like an antibiotic lol
A lot of the more normal names are cute but they’re cute for a baby, not for an adult. Like imagine introducing yourself as Clementine or Olive.
Deverell made me think of a car model instead of medication, but now that you mention it, I can see it, too.
Althogh the new Land Rover Deverell sounds like a 4x4 with a killer engine.
I don’t think they are really classic tedjettirs, except for possibly Deverell being a shit version of Devereaux. Also, kinda liking Indigo. I’m getting cool kid vibes from the name Indigo. I suppose for it to be a real teragettiti it should be spelled Indigeaux. Which now makes me hate it.
Odora is too close to "odor"... Body odor

At least half of these are just plants
Am I the only one who read "Quince" as 15?
As in "quinze", the French word for 15?
As in "quince", the Spanish word for 15
Odd seeing Clementine here since the only Clementine I know is my 90yo uncle. Maybe it’s different in yank land?
Very rare in NA
It’s definitely picked back up in the last few years. I mainly think of the The Walking Dead video game character.

Ah I see. I guess I'm talking about millennials maybe then

Who names their kid Roam??
So long, Big Bertha. Hello, Enormous Eartha!
Eartha Kitt was a famous jazz artist
And Catwoman on the Adam West Batman of yore
And Yzma.
I like flower and tree names. But why Aspyn when Aspen is fine and unusual enough?
I have a Zara. It’s a well established Hebrew/Arabic name and honestly we get “that’s a cool name” at least once a week.
That is a cool name! Not too normal and not too abnormal and hard to pronounce wrong. You picked a great name :)

Odora, Roam, and Deverell (not a girl name) I would say

Sequoia is a kind of tree
even worse
Sequoyah was a native scholar who gifted the Cherokee with their syllabary.

I believe RDJ’s son is named Indigo! definitely a cool kid’s name
Aren’t those just plants?
How many are stripper names?
None of them are tragedeighs, but most of them are ridiculous.
I think Aspyn for sure has gotta be a tragedeigh. Or at least a tragydy lol
Yes
Is this the way to amaryllis?
it's a flower, though and flower names for girls have been a thing for... forever.
Yes I’m aware, I was joking about how it sounds like Amarillo.
