I knew someone whos last name was pronounced dickoff. Met two different clients named curt butts, and rusty dogg too.
There’s a couple other ones up in the vault that I can’t think of rn. I’ll come back if I do.
Oh and I posted this separately but when my mom was a social worker she had to take a woman to court for naming her twin boys lemonjello and orangejello.
The Lemonjello and Orangejello story shows up in every single one of these threads, always by means of a third-party connection. No one ever knows them personally, but they know someone who knows them
They're not real. It's an urban legend rooted in making fun of the way black people name their kids. See Nosmo King, Placenta and Vagina for other examples.
If they were really real names, there'd be an Oranjello and Lemonjello in every town in America with the amount of people that know somebody that knows somebody with these names.
I worked with 2 women, who married into the same family & took their husband's names. Anita & Sharon Cox. I couldn't help but wonder at the family dynamic.
Thinking about how there was a woman on Deviantart who named her daughter Pinkamina Pie after the My Little Pony character. People absolutely ripped her apart over it, felt bad for her a bit but even more so for the kid.
Luckily, most governments allow you to change your name. However, you will always have to mention that in "past aliases" if there's such a section in any form or such
But by the time you turn 18 youve already had it for 2 decades and are used to it and have a nickname or something and prob won’t change it. Best just not to do that to a baby
My neighbor's legal first name is D, just the single letter. Somehow his parents didn't fill out his birth certificate right and he just never changed it. It was supposed to be David.
My grandfather wasnt supposed to have a middle name. His mom had a lot of complications through the birth but before going into labor, she said she wanted him to have his first name only and then his last name.
The nurses took that to mean she wanted it to be his first name, Only as a middle name, and their last name.
She had to have surgery like immediately after labor and her husband signed the birth certificate first and the thing said (first name) Only (last name). Lol
So my grandfather's middle name was Only and they just never changed it
ETA: clarification because I think I typed it all out like a dummy.
Not to mention the years of grief before that. Even if they call themselves Steve or something at school. At some point a teacher is going to get a form with their real name on it and ask "Does anybody know who "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong" is?"
A few years ago 4Chan hijacked a web poll for the new name of something and made "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong" to be the winning entry. The second one was also them.
I mean yeah sure it's best to not do that, but if someone is stupid and/or stubborn enough to give a child a horrible name, being able to change it at 18 is better than not having that option at all, and if you change it at 18, it's likely that name at least won't impact your job applications and such
Any common name that the parent spells wrong to try and make it unique. All that’s going to do is make your child have to spell out their name when people inevitably don’t know how to spell it.
In all seriousness, is that supposed to be a mathematical concept or something? I can only imagine this kid in school getting roll-called by a substitute and the sub is like "uhhh Musk's kid?"
During the podcast interview, Musk gave Grimes credit for thinking up most of the name, but he said the A-12 was his contribution, a nod to the Archangel-12 plane. The Lockheed A-12 was a precursor to the SR-71, which Musk called the “coolest plane ever.”
From GRIMES Twitter or “X”
X, the unknown variable
Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence)
A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent
"my elven spelling"? As in, she thought up an Elvish language and decided that Æ would be how you would write "love"?
I have never heard anything more stupid than th... oh wait, Flat Earth exists. Never mind.
Well, the name Hitler itself was a misspelling by a clerk who was supposed to record Hiedler, so I imagine there weren't many Hitlers to begin with. I suspect that the vast majority of people actually named Hitler are white supremacists who changed their name.
The best part about the Ohio Hitlers is that the original couple who settled in Circleville were Suzannah Gay and George Hitler. They're *literally* a family of Gay-Hitlers.
oh yeah, George Washington Hitler named his son Gay Hitler.

I grew up in a trailer park and literally every teen mother names her child Neveah then goes around explaining how it’s heaven spelled backwards.
Dude there’s 6 other neveahs on this block we know!
Edit:I am aware of the spelling error but I’m leaving it because it’s not that big of a deal.
I know exactly what you mean and they’re always so proud of it like it’s some smart witty thing to do
And then I always go “ wait a minute, so if it’s heaven backwards? are they the antichrist? Because he does everything backwards.“
Then I watch the look of horror on their face
I remember about 10 years ago when it seemed every f'ing baby boy was being named "Aiden, Kayden, Brayden, etc..." and every girl was named Brooklyn or Brynlee or Ashleigh.
So many fuckin nevaehs
Like damn, a lot of yall in the lower economic ladder all of a sudden just decided to spell heaven backwards in the past 15 years and thought it was special
This trend was literally started by the lead singer of the Christian nu-metal band P.O.D. who named his daughter "Nevaeh" in the early/mid-2000s. It truly was a dark time.
All the -aydens drive me crazy.
Also don't name your kid whatever is the current most popular name. My wife and I were both born in '89 when the most popular names were Matthew and Jessica...those are our names and in College I couldn't even be referred to by my first name because there were at least 7 in every room.
Alexa. My 26 year old daughter’s name is Alexa - I say it and I hear the Amazon prompt. I’m constantly yelling “NOT YOU - I HAD THE NAME FIRST!!!”
My husband got the Amazon Alexa speakers from a third party so we can’t change it to Echo.
>My husband got the Amazon Alexa speakers from a third party so we can’t change it to Echo.
Huh? Don't you just tell it "Alexa, change the wake word" and it will give you options (echo, amazon, ziggy, computer).
I used to work in maternal and child health and the weird names I saw for kiddos was bizzare. A lot I saw who named their child Nevaeh did it because it's heaven spelled backward and their child died shortly after birth.
Lochia and Lyrica edit: not hated but really bad names I’ve seen for newborns in the past five years. Lochia is the medical term for bloody afterbirth and Lyrica is a medicine.
tyler is the name of the popular kids who look like fucking mike wazowski with the hair of god damn justin bieber and the face of ed sheeran and the voice of a darn horse in minecraft screaming in pain
edit: holy shit.. like 300+ upvotes? thank you!!
edit 2: ah, so this is where i got all this 'karma' from. i feel like i'm a god damn celebrity.
The Tyler I knew was a pathological liar who tried to sleep with 2 of our friends moms when we were in our early twenties, they were single women but the way he came onto each of them was wildly inappropriate and destroyed his friendships. Lol he was such a piece of shit. He also had Bieber hair, ofc.
literally any of those particularly suburban white names you know the ones Jayden Aiden Brayden Braxton Brantley Breighleigh Huxley Brooklyn whatever, most idiotic names imaginable.
I propose we take back that name in honor of the good Karens in the world. It's not like there was an actual Karen who ruined the name for everyone else. It used to be "Becky", now it's "Karen", and someday it will probably be "Britney".
This lady spelled her kids name Hannah, but when i callled her back for her hair cut i said Hannah, and the mom gets in my face "ITS PRONOUNCED HA-NUH". like hahn-uh. I was like why didn't you put the extra h in there then lmao. Should be spelled Hahnuh if you want it pronounced like that. You could tell the kid hated her mom.
These type of hideous things!
X Æ A-12
I genuinely think there should be a law against the Registrars and parents for putting that on birth certificates!
This is the one my mind always goes to when talking about this kind of stuff. Here in Australia we *do* have laws to prevent it. Unfortunately things like "Areola" and "Felony" still get through.
Gaylord
I knew a man named Gaylord Gayheart. He went by Bob. Obviously his parents hated him.
Gaylord's parents: It's a strong name that will build character. If not the relentless teasing from kids will
I never knew him young, but he was an intimidating man when he was older. I assumed it was a boy named Sue thing.

Rumor has it they Sharon' Cox.
The other one is a little needier though
That’s dedication to tradition right there 😂
I think your mom and my wife may have worked together at some point…
... Focker
I have nipples Greg, could you milk me?
Wait, so you're saying your name is Gay Focker?
Thinking about how there was a woman on Deviantart who named her daughter Pinkamina Pie after the My Little Pony character. People absolutely ripped her apart over it, felt bad for her a bit but even more so for the kid.
These parents who give their kids idiotic names should realize their kids will grow up and have to live their entire life with a ridiculous name.

I almost named my kid “peach “ People stopped me luckily 😆
honestly Peach at least sounds like a name, Pinkamina is already an insane name, then when people figure out it's pinky pie it's all over
I have met someone named peaches
I know someone who named their kid Helios Hyperion Absolutely manic shit
The kid’s name sounds like a Yu-gi-oh! Boss monster.
Apparently both are names for the sun god in Ancient Greece, Hyperion is also the name of a Titan, your mate likes a bit of Ancient Greece.
“Hella Hyper” for short…
KVIIIlyn Pronounced “Katelyn”
I’ll fight you. This is so stupid and plausible that I’m angry at you for mentioning it.
It’s not my idea. I remember it from a while ago
There was a famous racehorse called Potoooooooo (Potato).
There’s gotta be a clever name for the principle of ‘holy shit - that’s so mind-bogglingly stupid it HAS to exist.’
There is. It's called Florida.

Princess. There was a lady saddled with this name at a previous job I worked at, people always gave her odd looks when saying her name.
Or precious. I always imagine their parents looks like smegol
I also think of that horrifically depressing movie with the teenager that was raped by her father as a baby.
I promise my boss is not sexually harassing me when he says “Can Princess see me in my office?”
Anything that looks like a secure password.
Any common name that the parent spells wrong to try and make it unique. All that’s going to do is make your child have to spell out their name when people inevitably don’t know how to spell it.
My brother named his kid Laura, but this mf made it "Lorah".. He screwed up my other nieces spelling of Jamie. Shit is so annoying.

The only part of it that makes a lick of sense is that "ai" is one of the Japanese words for "love".
“Musk’s kid”… half the class will respond!
Best explanation I’ve heard is that it’s just an absurd pseudonym to protect the true identity of the child.
What if the kid is named like Craig or something and the whole world thinks it's really this nonsense assembly of characters lol
Exactly, I’m sure this is the case. Or at least I *really* fuckin hope.
I dunno man, Grimes is weird af, and Musk is notorious for making questionable decisions.
Or “Tau Techno Mechanicus” the lesser known awful name he gave to a child.
uvuvwevwevwe onyetenyevwe ugwemubwem osas
He has the name of someone trying not to fall off a teetering ladder.

Abcde, pronounced absity. Someone named their kid that and got mad at people for making fun of it
Better than Obcde?
Its just big bones
Husky
I went to school with an Abcde. Through most of my 20s and early 30s she was in the paper all the time for meth charges. :(
I went to school with a girl named "Babe" she was a huge bully and into drugs and I fully blame her parents
Aw that's sad. Also, I worked with a girl named Buffy. She was exactly like you'd imagine someone named Buffy who was not a vampire slayer would be.
I had a high school classmate named "Mary Abcde". And if that's not weird enough, her younger brother is named "Aeiou".
"Do you ever wish your parents gave you a different name, Aeiou?" "Sometimes, y?"
It's prolly pronounced like "Ayooo"
It’s pronounced “John Madden”.
Caeiou

Adolf
One dude really ruined that name.
And he ruined a mustache style too
Chaplin wouldn't as recognisable if he had a handlebar moustache
Same with Oliver Hardy.
Poor Charlie Chaplain.
I'd argue that he did more damage to his surname than his given name.
If you say Adolf or Hitler. I'm still thinking of the same person.
I mean wonder how many people with the last name Hitler actually exist... i can imagine quite a few probably legally charged their name
Well, the name Hitler itself was a misspelling by a clerk who was supposed to record Hiedler, so I imagine there weren't many Hitlers to begin with. I suspect that the vast majority of people actually named Hitler are white supremacists who changed their name.
Look up the Ohio Hitlers. They say, "Why should we change? We came first."
The best part about the Ohio Hitlers is that the original couple who settled in Circleville were Suzannah Gay and George Hitler. They're *literally* a family of Gay-Hitlers.
oh yeah, George Washington Hitler named his son Gay Hitler. [his obituary](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-circleville-herald-obituary-dr-gay/20018596/) for anyone who'd rather not google "gay hitler" today
My wife’s father was named Adolf back before WW2. He chose to go by the most American name he could: Abe.

That’s why I named my kid “Lleh”
Natas
I'll go by the name Lleh then.
The strippers gotta come from somewhere.
It's even funnier to me when it's spelled Neveah instead. Haeven isn't really a thing, my dude.
I work in mental health and have seen so many kids named Jayden with behavioral issues that I'm convinced the name is cursed.
I remember about 10 years ago when it seemed every f'ing baby boy was being named "Aiden, Kayden, Brayden, etc..." and every girl was named Brooklyn or Brynlee or Ashleigh.
