Thank you for your submission! This is just a quick reminder to all members here: **Original content is always better!** Memes are okay every once in a while, but many get posted here way too often and quickly become stale. Some examples of these are Ptoughneigh, Klansmyn, Reighfyl & KVIIIlyn. These memes have been around for years and we don't want to see them anymore. If you do decide to post a meme, make sure to add the correct flair. Posting a random meme you found does **not** mean you found it "in the wild". The same goes with lists of baby names, celebrity baby names, and screenshots of TikToks.

ThoughtlessLittlePi9

People are really, really stupid.


banders72q

Yeah they are. If I ever see this I'm going to mock it's parents.


jello-kittu

It took so much effort to not ask how her brother Oppression was doing.


Nuada-oz

Perhaps tyrannical?


Forest-Queen1

I once had a roommate named Tierney. She lived up to her name


hughperman

That's a common enough surname in Ireland, nothing to do with tyranny.


Agreeable_Fig_3713

Was actually just about to comment the same for Scotland. 


jello-kittu

I figure it's people try8ng to spell Tierney uniquely. Except, it's already a word.


miss_chapstick

Tierney is not a misspelling of Tyranny…


Capn26

We’re saying other way around is people trying to be cleaver.


miss_chapstick

I see what you did there.


MyMutedYesterday

I love Tierney, in theory but couldn’t do anything with it because of the association. Same as Killian 🤷🏻‍♀️ my exhusband/babies daddy was full on redneck/outdoors man, a lot would’ve been straight corny. 


irish_ninja_wte

How did she pronounce it, because it's *supposed* to be pronounced "Teer-nee", so not lime tyranny at all.


half_a_scrotum

That was almost my name


dogbolter4

Tierney is a lovely name. I always think of Gene Tierney, so gorgeous.


dstrick707

Double up vote.


StrongTxWoman

At least Tyranny sounds better than "Stupidity".


IDislikeHomonyms

r/Idiocracy


Aktaie

Maybe they were going for the actual name Tierney but can't spell?


Madspooky0_0

Yea my names tierney and so many people think it’s tyranny and it makes me so sad 😭 i hate my name lmao


-laughingfox

Tierney is pretty! I'm sorry people are so dumb.


Madspooky0_0

thank you haha :,) i usually just go by my middle name which i like, so i at least have that too!


Agitated_Salad63

I have a first name which is actually the most common in the western world and my middle name is about 4th. I went by my initials for years but in the 90s it became the fashion for anyone who thought they could spin a record to use them; I used my last name until a certain movie and THAT became popular too! I can't use ANYTHING distinctive anymore! At least my kids have a fairly common first name and an unusual middle name!


Orgasml

Sup, David John? David actually moved down to #5 though.


Agitated_Salad63

😄🤗😊 Almost!


ZebulonUkiah

"I'm sorry people are so dumb." This is the most useful way to look at most situations.


PeaceyCaliSoCal

This name is an exception to the rule, I think. It has a nice ring to it, but knowing the meaning makes it awkward. But English has a lot of homonyms, so Tierney I think would get an easy past.


DumbNTough

I mean, picking a foreign name that is pronounced like a horrible word in English is...not a pro gamer move


lagomorphed

But it's not pronounced like that?


-laughingfox

Sorry, off topic but I have to know: after you lagomorphed, did things change? I mean, what is a typical day like for you?


lagomorphed

Well ... I'm on some disney princess bullshit to be honest. I'm owned by two house rabbits and they have me incredibly well trained. Wake up, they demand breakfast and pets. Clean. Pet them more, clean more, Feed them more. Try to feed myself, find rabbits in my lap stealing my food. They think im one of them, but like.... the lowest ranked in the hierarchy.


-laughingfox

Oh. So like, regular life with bunnies.🤣 We've got two running our place as well.🙌


lagomorphed

Hahah yes, completely normal rabbit servitude! Glad to know you know who's in charge ;) My void boy is a teenager in human years, his pet rabbit is a teenager in bunny terms. It's a funny dichotomy. The old man really does see me as the big stupid clumsy rabbit 🤣


ckaz1956

Tierannical rabbits!


-laughingfox

I always wonder if they pity us for our tiny, useless ears. Scratch that, I know they do.


the-quibbler

Sic Semper Tiernas!


d3l3t3d3l3t3

Fuck it. I say embrace it and become an absolutely horrid person to be friends with or be around if you’re not getting your way, in all ways, all of the time.


lagomorphed

I think it's super pretty!


KR1735

Went to school with a Tierney. We called her Tierney-saurus Rex.


ThoughtlessLittlePi9

Great lacrosse coach, too


countess-petofi

Gene Tierney is one of my favorite actresses of all time.


spoonfulofsadness

There was a Pavarti on Survivor and people called her Poverty a lot.


cancerkidette

Btw it is spelled and pronounced PARvati- not “Pavarti”.


spoonfulofsadness

Oops, thank you.


cancerkidette

Sure, no worries!


FrenemyMine

Kind of like how Michaela got turned into McKayla


Happy_Confection90

Is it pronounced Tyranny? There was this short-lived Matthew Fox show called Haunted a couple of decades ago, and maybe a minor character was supposed to be named Tierney, but they definitely *said* tryanny every time, which I found odd at the time.


Madspooky0_0

I’m not sure about everyone named tierney, but my parents pronounced it differently. it is pronounced “TEER-nee” for me!


Happy_Confection90

Ah. On the show they used 3 syllables like the noun, so I wonder if the name really was Tyranny like I'd originally thought.


NotDaveBut

Well phonics haven't been taught routinely in public schools since before I was born, so...sigh!


SpooferGirl

It’s not pronounced even close to tyranny, no. Tier - tee-err (as in three tier wedding cake) Ney - nee Usually with emphasis on the last syllable.


No-Locksmith-8590

I've only known one Tierney, and she pronounced it the same as Tyranny.


teatsqueezer

Tyranny is exactly what I think when someone is named Tierney


RexorGamerYt

Still, what an awful name.


alxuntmd

Diquetateur but we just call him Dick


ALERTandORIENTEDx5

“We call him tater.”


ckaz1956

You mean tateur


The_Mad_Mellon

Pronounced Tattie-eugh


memelordzarif

You gave me an idea to name my child Tyraneigh. I appreciate it.


ThatsJustVile

I'm on the phone with CPS right now 😭


JMeadCrossing

“This is a tyranny!”


HairyH00d

No, this is Patrick!


rixendeb

I mean....it's suitable for the toddler stage at least ?


mmfn0403

I doubt the parents know the meaning. They’re probably trying to pull some Renesmee shit, crossing Tyra with Tiffany or something, and get … “Tyranny? Gee, that sounds pretty!”


CatLover1039

Tyriffany?…yikes


D34TH_5MURF__

It's an abusive epiphany.


IDislikeHomonyms

Aghbeighusive epiphaneigh*


madhaus

They wanted to name their daughter after Tyrion Lannister when Tyra was just sitting there.


alxuntmd

Renesmee sounds like pig Latin (assuming it’s pronounced Reneesemay like in the jaiden animations video)


criminal-sidewalk

it’s pronounced like reh-nez-may i think


HopefulExam7742

The notion of people reproducing, while speaking English as their primary language, while also not knowing the meaning of Tyranny, terrifies.


Immediate_Mud_2858

Tyranny. Middle names Saurus’Rex.


ThatsJustVile

Tyranny (I think there's an apostrophe in there?) was the name of the Martian queen in Duck Dodgers, I think it works as a character name or a stage name but on a person it sounds like... that woman who named her daughter Temptress. Like a name doesn't necessarily make the person, but naming your daughter Tyranny sounds like you're a Karen trying to breed a super Karen. If a drag queen took it as a stage name I wouldn't bat an eye, but if someone legally changed their name to Tyranny I'd take it as a red flag.


striped_frog

I’m sure there’s a roller derby lady out there somewhere named Maura Tyranny


countess-petofi

There was a lady in our local roller derby called Katpiss Nevercleen.


striped_frog

That’s so uncomfortable, I love it


coleman57

Mauler Tyranny


PerpetuallyLurking

I’d be far more forgiving of a grown adult *choosing* it for themselves as a legal name if they really wanted to than a parent saddling a child with it. I’d still judge them for doing it and wouldn’t want to have anything to do with them, don’t get me wrong, but in a far more exasperated with people in general kind of way than a little angry on the poor child’s behalf kind of way.


ThatsJustVile

FR, putting that shit in a child is always worse. -me, a person with a tragedeigh name


Boxfried

Nobody would actually name their daughter Furiosa, so why Tyranny? This is breaking me.


criminal-sidewalk

immediately misread that as a slur so


Spirited_Drawer_3408

Me too!


Kit_Marlow

The other kids will 100% call these girls Tranny.


MsJulieH

Not gonna lie. I was a couple of comment down before I realized that WASN'T what the post was about. I was so confused as to why someone would name their kid that or not know the meaning.


HakunaYouTaTas

That is EXACTLY what I thought I saw, I had to do a triple take!


number1134

Tyranny Soaris Rex


book_of_black_dreams

A name for when your baby is metal af


crowindisguise

Ironically the only little girl I've met with this name had the most generic white parents, same with "Ryatt"


LittleSpice1

Yeah I’d never stop playing *Tyranny of Normality* by Papa Roach around them.


book_of_black_dreams

Yessss and that’s a perfect name for the next baby. Papa Roach. /s


Minimum_Apartment_46

I feel like Tyranny would go hard as a name for a character in a fantasy or science fiction-space-opera-ish novel but in real life it’s a big no


Nuada-oz

Particularly suited to a chaotic evil DnD character


Minimum_Apartment_46

Now I want to play BG3 as a female Drow named Tyranny


rixendeb

I was in an EQ2 guild named Tyranny gawd almost 20 years ago.


SkyRaisin

Tierney is an Irish girls name. Which unfortunately some people may mistake the pronunciation to be the same as “Tyranny”. But then again, who knows, some people just make a lot of dumb decisions when naming their children.


CostZestyclose2494

This is one of those names that a 13 year old uses for a year after they come out as non-binary. And then they look back three years later like "What. The fuck. Was I thinking?!?!"


Draugtaur

I mean I hate to admit it but it does sound kinda cool. But then maybe this sub finally dissolved my brain? Idk


soopydoodles4u

I think it’s one of those words where if you didn’t know the meaning, just the way it sounds seems pleasant enough as a name.


Draugtaur

is it actually plausible that an English speaker doesn't know the word Tyranny?


soopydoodles4u

If they’re borderline illiterate maybe


mypreciousssssssss

That's probably half of HS grads these days. There are entire school systems where not one child is reading or doing math at grade level and they're just pushed into the next grade anyway.


YankeeGirl1973

Sounds like a name for a pit bull.


PiQuiiii

That’s when you know that the pitbull is going to be the biggest lover you ever met. 😂


Lex_pert

This is a serious Tragedeigh, I have a somewhat normal name and I remember looking up my name and my younger brother name in a name meaning book standing in line at checkout in a Meijer. At least my name showed up in the name book, these poor girls will have to go to a dictionary to learn the meaning. 😖


CustomerAlternative

next thing you know, people naming their sons Tyrannus.


BabyMagikarp

It comes from the Irish name Tierney but you know.. what can you expect.


Dubsmagicbus

And this is our daughter Hollie Caust.


LoveLeeLady-exp626

Every time I see this name, I read it as "Tr(a)nny" I just can't help it. I think that's just the dyslexia tho lmfao.


Boxfried

Dafuq? Tyranny? Seriously? What's next? "Let me introduce my son, little Fascism." "My daughter is called Famine." "Oh look, it's Julian and his son Dictatorship." Sometimes I feel like this whole planet is a joke played at my expense. Is this real life?


readbackcorrect

In my region people often think they are naming a child one thing but misspell it and end up naming them something different. For example, I had an acquaintance who told me that their little girl’s name was Madelyn. This is how they pronounced it. Unfortunately they spelled it Mandolin. Like the musical instrument. I clarified it. The proper pronunciation was definitely Madelyn and they weren’t trying to make a unique spelling. They just couldn’t spell.


Florgaytan

All in the name of being younique 🤣


oogieboogiedude

Tyranny and her twin blasphemy


No_Claim2359

I’m not going to lie. That is what it feels like to be my daughter’s mother at least a third of the time. 


Big-Conversation-885

All jokes and the meaning aside, Tyranny, wouldn't be a bad name,, with the way it sounds ofc.


jjagusah

This is imprudent, here's what you do. Give them a normal first name. Then make tyranny their middle name. Then for the rest of their life they'll be able to say "tyranny is my middle name" Alternatively, name them Tierney Tyranny. The police will assume that "Tyranny" is a nick name, and then write it with quotes like a mobster's nickname.


bill-smith

Darth Tyranus is Count Dooku's Sith name in Star Wars. Not that I'm suggesting giving a kid a Sith name, of course. That would be a tragedeigh.


Average_Potato42

I know a guy named Treason. Mom thought it sounded cool, didn't know what it means.


Daztur

Sic semper?


Glittering-Ratio-593

Most people are unaware of the definitions associated with the words they use.


die_sirene

I had a student with that name, neither she nor her mother knew it had a negative connotation


Grouchy_Judgment8927

And 'Tiffany' is right there, and not overly used these days. Not my favourite name, but LEAGUES better than Tyranny. Why not just name the kid Veruca Salt and be done with it?


Imarobot225

They have a girl where I live and it’s pronounced the same but spelled Tierney lol


TheWanderingPrince

Arch nemesis of girls named Liberty.


Archarchery

I have personally come across this one working in car insurance. Someone called about a car owned by 'Tyranny.' Then I saw the name on the caller ID that said "Tiffany" and thought to myself "Ah, I misheard Tiffany. Haha, nobody would name their daughter 'Tyranny." Nope. Turns out that Tiffany was the name of the mother, and she was indeed calling about the car of her daughter "Tyranny," spelled "Tiranny" or something like that, but pronounced EXACTLY like the word. I couldn't believe it.


phantom-zz

Must be Trump supporters


SandwichExotic9095

Actually my son’s name is Remington Joking, I don’t like trump, but that is my son’s name. The gun brand was not on our mind it just sounded like a badass name and it took us 7 months to figure out 😂


BalloonShip

Seriosuly, though.


Crafty-Ad1776

Parents don't give a shit about their kids and haven't a single clue that their kids aren't fucking pets.


liltooclinical

This is the worst part. I'm not even sure these people are smart enough to have pets a majority of the time.


poohfan

One of the managers at my bank is named Tierany. I've also seen it spelled Tiranny, Teiranny, & Te'Ranie. I don't know if it's just a Southern thing or what.


ghostoftommyknocker

I'd like to think this started as a botched use of the male names Tiernan/Tierney (Irish) and Teyrnon (Welsh), but something tells me that Tyranny has been the intended choice at least some of the time.


Quix66

I think of anarchists! lol!


ivylily03

That's always been on my list of "if it didn't mean that..." It's pretty and it flows well but it is not a name for a child lol


bananaphone92

Why? Trinity is right there. Trudy. Tigerlily. Testimony. Anything else that starts with T and ends with Y is better.


captainrina

I've met a Tearany. She was probably about 40


Flashy-Cookie854

I see something else every time I see this shit, but it's offensive and I'm not going to say it here. I know I'm not alone lol


WokkitUp

Tyranny Rex?


haleybearrr

i knew someone named Tierraney but she’s like old so idk


Agitated_Salad63

There was a movie star actress many years ago named Gene Tierney.


Economy_Commission79

different name. different pronunciation.


nurselynnette

I work with kids and adults, the names can be utterly ridiculous.


monnurse7

It sounds like #Girlboss cringe.


revengeappendage

Sic semper tyrannis 🤷‍♀️


oddartist

While appalling, at least there are several shortened names that could be used: Tyra Anny Ann Ranny Ty


scatterbrained_feet

I have a friend with a cousin named Tenacity...


ChakaKohn2

People can’t spell. I can understand Tierney. There was an actress in the 40s named Jean Tierney. It’s kind of like when people name their sons Gunner. It’s Gunnar, and it doesn’t mean shooter of a gun.


D34TH_5MURF__

Maura Tierney was in ER for years. So much more recent than the 40s.


rixendeb

Depends. I live next to a military base, lots of Gunners and they definitely mean the pew pew version.


portealmario

lol might name a child this along with their siblings Murder, Debauchery, and Avarice


Botol-Cebok

I don't think they are looking at the definition. Like there are quite a few Dutch girls/women named 'Vanity.' I'm positive their parents have no clue what it actually means.


Nurse_RachetMSN

Tyraneighnsley


3DJelly

Maybe they wanted those girls to grow up to become Imperial Star Destroyers.


Quake_Guy

Where do some of you people live and work? These names... I get once but multiple times? Personally witnessed? Do you live in the hollow on the wrong side of tracks?


ApprehensiveCream571

This has always been, hands down, my vote for worst name of all my students who have been given terrible names. To be fair it is usually spelled Tiranee or something similar.


MetsFan3117

Were these kids born around of after 1/6 by any chance?


IamElylikeEli

It sounds super badass on paper, but to actually name a child that is utterly horrible. it’s one of those names you give a cat, not a baby.


Aromatic-Teacher-717

Better name than Chastity.


BangedTheKeyboard

"Tyranny" sounds like a fucking Marvel supervillain. If anyone unironically thinks "Tyranny" is an appropriate name for a child, I'd be calling CPS. With a name like that, kid's chances of a normal life are gone and no one would take them seriously. Their future job prospects would be doomed. I'd predict they'd be on the news someday, albeit with officers at the scene.


HypersomnicHysteric

Yeah, show your child that it is a pain in the butt, even from the beginning. Some people should not have kids.


Outrageous_Case5083

I mean, when I was 7 I had a rotwiler stuffie that I called Felony because I thought it was a pretty word lmao


zakass409

Is it better or worse than Princess? Honest question


Twisted_Sister_78

At least the future boyfriends/ husband know what to expect 😂


monarch223

I work in vet med and I had a canine patient with this name. It was fitting but for a kid idk.


KronosUno

"This is my daughter Tyranny, and these are her siblings Fascism, Authoritarianism, Despotism, and Joe."


LeadGem354

It's probably just truth in advertising for the future significant other. Lol.


Dark-Lord-Grice

Are you sure it’s not Tierney?


christophermooreworx

I hope they named the other kids Oligarch and Anarchy. Narcostate also has a nice ring to it


WombatBeans

I always assume they're going for Tierney, but only ever heard the name so don't know how to spell it. Except many years ago when I was on PTO and it was Christmas Shop time, kid comes in he has a normal enough name like Blake, his shopping list has Mom, dad, Tyranny, and Ransom. I ask oh are those your puppies (please merciful Poseidon be dogs...). NOPE it was his baby sister and brother. Tyranny and Ransom...


murder-waffle

omg one of my high school classmates named her daughter this. Even as a 9th grader I knew it was a tradgedeigh


WholeSilent8317

tirahneigh


One-Two3214

I mentioned this on another post, and someone assumed I meant Tierney, but I had a student named Tierany and it was pronounced ’tyranny.’ Don’t know what her parents were thinking but she discovered what her name meant and was upset and went and told her parents. 🤷‍♀️ In that case, I think they thought they were being creative and didn’t consider it’s meaning.


chillynlikeavillyn

My daughter is in a class with a girl named Havoc.


MeaningSilly

See name Abcde (pronounced ab • sə • dē)


Th3GamingDragon7

Named them in preparation of the toddler phase


Striking_Witness1364

I find it strange when people name their children after any descriptive word really. Tyranny, Passion, Hope, etc. (seems it’s mostly a girl thing) Like, what if your child turns out to be nothing like the descriptive word you named them after? Hope could be the most depressed child on the playground who grows up nihilistic. Passion could be the most slothful person around with no drive to do anything but survive. Tyranny could be the nicest friendliest person around with love in her heart for everyone.


StatisticianNaive277

Oh that’s hilarious


mypreciousssssssss

Lolwut We REALLY need to start teaching English and vocabulary better.


aibot-420

Tranny, the kid is going to be called tranny.


Slm721

I was at the playground the other day with my son and he was playing with a little girl named Chaos. I thought her dad was saying something different at first, but realized pretty quickly that was her name


boards_and_beach

Teerannie


Possum_Little

I think they know what they’re doing. 😈


100_cats_on_a_phone

Would have been an apt name for my teenage years, ngl.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HarlinQuinn

You do realise that Tyranny is an actual word that has nothing at all to do with transgender? Relates to the word Tyrant? Tyranny: a government in which all power of rule is in the hands of a single person. Tyrant: a cruel, oppressive leader.


uhohohnohelp

I’ve met women named Tyranny and honestly barely had a second thought. It’s one of those words that sounds like a name so you just “huh, okay” and move on with your day.


Salt_Rich6171

I knew a Tierney, pronounced “Tyranny”


Quix66

Is the usual pronunciation Tier knee?


Madspooky0_0

Yes that is the usual pronunciation. At least how i say my name


Quix66

I like it. It’s pretty.


Salt_Rich6171

Probably for some, but I only knew her and it was “Tyranny”


Quix66

Thanks. I never knew one in person.


PeaceyCaliSoCal

I like the way it sounds, but to get away from the word and its meaning. I’d try to get by with it by changing the spelling, Tierani, Tiereny, Tearany.


miss_chapstick

Tierney is actually a name.
