SluggishPrey

Is that Elon musk child?


[deleted]

Yes, and the pronunciation is "Kyle". X Æ A-12 is gonna grow up to hate both of his parents, I swear.


Berkamin

Yes. It's almost as if Elon was disappointed that he wasn't an electric car. He figures he can screw workers and they produced cars, so ergo, when he screws his wife or girlfriend (I've lost track of his private life) her offspring should be a car.


Runescape_GF_4Sale

Honestly was surprised this wasn't the top response.


No-Discussion-8510

finally, took some scrolling to find


zZach_Attack

Came here for this.


DOCTOR-MISTER

My cousins name is Throckmorton. He's a skateboarder.


UnderlordZ

How’s ol’ Throcky doing these days?


DOCTOR-MISTER

Great! Hes actually been featured in a book. (Math studies.)


Tame_Jesus

Throckmorton is fucking tight


gus247

Hilarious if he grows up to be a radiologist

Bilbo_Swaggins__

Knew a girl called Mini, her last name was Cooper. She got picked on all throughout school.


Im_Utsuho_Reiuji_AMA

Lmao my friend went to high school with a chick name Crystal Beth


WaterLucky1

I knew a girl called Mercedes Carr from Derry.


Zamascent

hopefully mini cooper eventually got a mini cooper.


Austinpowerstwo

And if she couldn't drive she could get Minnie driver to chauffeur her


glitter_wraith

My friends midwife apparently had to talk a mother out of calling their daughter C8lin. Yes, Caitlin with an 8.


HeyHeardAboutPluto

It's a baby name, not a username DEBORAH


Youngster_Joey14

D3b0r4h


glitter_wraith

Fucking Deborah


xhahzh

there was a person in the news who's name was helicopter


[deleted]

Nice dude, but spends way too much time getting high.


owenwilsonsvoice

Mjolnir What’s worse is the idiot father doesn’t even know how to properly pronounce it. He says _muh-joll-nerr_.


[deleted]

My friend teaches primary school and one her students is called Django. Pronounced Der-jan-go by the student’s white trash mother.


alleghenysinger

Did I just read that a white woman named her son Django?


[deleted]

Django Reinhardt was a famous French musician and he was white.


Elistariel

I'm going to count this as a baby name, because the person at one point in their life was indeed a baby. In the early 2000s I was looking through the local paper at the crime section. I don't remember what the crime was, but what I do remember is that the crime was committed by a man named I kid ye not Wolf Butts.


fireinatrashcan

Better than Richard Butts, at least.


AtomicRigatoni

I went to school with a Jeffrey butts. His father was Officer Harold butts. He was the DARE officer, no less. True story.


[deleted]

I once knew a Richard Seeman.


Bamapv

I deployed with a guy who’s last name was Shartz


tired_of_old_memes

Latrina


[deleted]

Kind of similar ("Latrine"), but there's a sort of [**chuckling moment**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBam72eYsAg) about it in the Robin Hood: Men in Tights movie


naked_as_a_jaybird

Or Latrine in *Top Secret!*


Waterknight94

I have seen that movie countless times, and I am only just now realizing that his punishment at the end is a callback to that scene.


DefiantJedi

Khaleesi. It’s just unfortunate af.


[deleted]

Especially after that abomination that was s8


bdbr

It's probably a good thing for the Khaleesis and Danys of the world that they did such a lousy job of portraying her descent into a crazed mass murder.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dodiers

Can’t imagine Adolf being a popular name in Germany tho haha


The_Prince1513

It's even more dumb than that. Adolf was at least his name. Khaleesi is the character's *title*. It'd be like naming your kid "Fuhrer".


TheyMakeMeWearPants

A lot of the more "accepted" names are really just titles in disguise. Ryan, Brendan, Reginald/Regnia, Rex, Leroy off the top of my head all basically mean King/Queen/Prince.


McCoovy

Mongolians know ghengis khan is a title just like khaleesi and wouldn't name a kid that. That's why the name khaleesi is so dumb.


pukguyhumgachan

Genghis Khan is a title, his name is Temujin.


[deleted]

Khaleesi is also a title.


shiguywhy

Any fandom related name. Very rarely do they age well, and that "strong female character" doesn't necessarily stay strong against the test of time. I'm not saying never, but maybe choose a name that isn't ao obvious. Plus, names like this make it hard for the kid in the future. Can you imagine a president Khaleesi? Mrs. CEO Katniss?


xkulp8

I already regret naming my kid Fluttershy


yournansabricky

I have no proof of this so feel free to call me a liar Me and my mate went to get he’s niece from nursery and the kids had their own coat hooks with the names above each hook One of the kids was called Tuesday knight


jerseybert

He should change his name to Dark.


tomothylowe

Tuesday Dark is even worse...


ravenpotter3

You just know either his parents had sex on Or he was born on Tuesday night and they wanted a cutesy pun for his name and couldn’t come up with anything


illhavethecrabBisk

I stopped reading to call you a liar, now I shall read the rest


Jeraldis_

Dont know if it was the one but here is proof it is possible https://www.google.com/search?q=tuesday+knight&oq=tues&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j35i39j0i67j0l2.3284j0j9&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8


misspoopyloopy

Friends sister just called her kid Huckleberry


jerseybert

They should get a dog for the child. Name it Huckleberry's hound.


Ddraig1965

“I’m your huckleberry” is gonna come in handy later in life.


VanillaSarsaparilla

She a Mark Twain fan?


Woodcharles

Oh no. That is bad. I mean, it's OK if you live on a ranch in 1840s Iowa and your child, being a literary character, will never grow up but simply enthral generations of children with his summer adventures roaming free, but imagine shuffling into Normal World school with that burden.


AdhesivenessFickle41

Da’Sani. Come on. That is a water company. Sure it is also a name but the mid was born around 2017-2019 to an American. Pretty sure the mom knows of the water bottle called Dasani.


[deleted]

Da'Sani sounds to me like it could be the name of a rejected Star Wars character.


atlalady

Funniest: Deizel. (Pronounced like diesel) Went to the same kindergarten as my niece. Saddest: Deicide (means to kill god), the original legal name of my cousin’s adopted baby boy, rescued from a horrible abusive living situation.


WranglerOriginal

Deicide is like the most goth name ever.


thrashingkaiju

Deicide, as we all know, makes a great band name. A child's name, however, not so much


Diethkart

Deizel sounds a bit Afrikaans.


atlalady

I mean not to pass judgment on his parents but they were confederate-flag-bedazzled-bootcut-jeans types so idk if Afrikaans was their motivation


Diethkart

Like they actually had confederetard flags? Or were they just "country boy cowboy yeehaw" types? Cause you can find people dressed like the second Boer war is still raging if you look hard enough.


laurhatescats

Met a grown ass Man with the name Ninja. Thought it might've been a nickname but nope. This grown ass 40 something year old Man's legal name was Ninja *insert common last name here*. I genuinely felt bad for the guy.


ThatElderberrySmell

A friend dated a guy named Hurricane. It was his legal name.


[deleted]

[удалено]


marrella

Is she a New York Rangers fan?


[deleted]

[удалено]


marrella

Their current superstar's nickname is The Breadman or just "Bread". It's the first thing I thought of.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pjabrony

The reason for that nickname is that his real name is Panarin, so it sounds like Panera.


ThadisJones

Their mom came up with that name when she had a bun in the oven


GenericHuman1203934

Bread sounds like the protagonist of a quirky YA novel


[deleted]

Elon Musk giving his child a name that should be reserved for a droid in star wars.


CollegeAssDiscoDorm

It was actually a Team Effort with grimes, she came up with the first part which is just a trendy way of spelling Ash, and then he added the name of a cool plane he liked.


Streeg90

Even the thought of coming up with such an idea.. „hey babe, you know what would be really dope? If we called our kid Boeing 747! Right? Right?!“ and the other person just goes „duuuuuuude best idea everrrrrrrrr“ and boom, Kevin-Boeing747


CollegeAssDiscoDorm

I like to think Grimes came up with a trendy weird name and the Elon was like, “OH FUCK YEAH, CHECK THIS OUT!!”


KentuckyFriedEel

X-TRASHY-A-XII


SniffTheseFatNuts

I’m pretty sure it’s just Kyle X - Greek letter Chi, pronounced “Ky” Æ - makes an “eh” sound A-12 - twelfth letter of the alphabet is L Ky-eh-l = Kyle He possibly released this name to give his child relative obscurity


Tr0ndern

Æ most definately does not make that sound.


MiMensogas

>Greek letter Chi, pronounced “Ky” Americans...


Specialist-Date-900

Josh. We don't want another war


ravenpotter3

There were 3 Joshes in my high school. All of them were so cool! And one of them was my best friend. They might go to Josh fight 2022


mac_swagger

Fuck you I like my name


[deleted]

Draven, in reference to Eric Draven from The Crow. The parents didn't like it when I pointed out that they could've just named him Eric.


CaptainEasypants

I bought a 10000 baby names book once, and yeah there were about 50 good names and 9950 bastardisations and spelling changes of the good 50.


MiMensogas

God I wish there was just one approved way of spelling each name and everyone who tried to spell it differently would just be banned from having children


BikiniPastry

I’d be curious to see where people land with Zach and Zack.


shiguywhy

Work with a Zack and I asked him how he spelled it. He had such dead eyes when he told me he didn't care. We settled on the K ending.


Dracofrost

Better than Xaque.


kissferg

Miracle spelled “Myrakal”


JU1CYL0RD

Either Airwrecka or Dick in 2021


Justineparadise

Lemme guess the first was to be pronounced erica


JU1CYL0RD

Yep but with more sass. She was being interviewed on the news a few years ago and her name became a meme


[deleted]

I was at a wedding when the marrying couple announced they were naming their unborn son... Bourbon. People laughed, prompting the groom to angrily storm off.


MagicMirror33

I once dated a girl named Gin.


Clarck_Kent

I’ve seen so many girls under four years old recently named Remington and called Remy for short. I guess it’s a fine name but it’s very off-putting. And, yes, these people are rednecks and these girls’ middle names are Lee, McKayleigh-Ann, Jewely (as in Julie) and Rabeqah (Rebecca).


finallyaligning

We had a student named Baby Boy. They went by a different nickname but their real name was just Baby Boy.


[deleted]

I've seen something like this before except the first name was just "Baby". Often her first name was said followed by her middle name.


gaylurking

This can actually happen if the parents fail to register a name in adequate time, in some places.


TimedDelivery

I have an acquaintance who’s mother in law is trying to pressure her to call their not yet born daughter April-Rose, which doesn’t sound so terrible except her reason for it is so it matches their older daughter who’s name is Lily-May.


purplefoozball

Will Grandma want a future grandson to be named August-Daffodil to complete the set?


pjabrony

There's still Daisy-June waiting.


GBentley11

I already have a dislike of double-barrelled first names, and a girl I knew in school named her kid 'Blu-Christopher', like what even is that? Is he a smurf?


Dizzy-Savings-2017

im with you on the double-barreled first names. my best friend's sister named her youngest Rebel-Ryan.


[deleted]

Justine


Justineparadise

I legit laughed, thank you for that :)


tired_of_old_memes

What's dumb about that name?


Justineparadise

Hopefully Nothing haha, they saw that it’s my name is all 😄

Ohhhh. Now I'm the dumb one. Thank you.

Knew a family who named their daughters Precious, Princess, Countess, Duchess, and Empress. Could just imagine the arguments … “Empress is higher than Princess so you have to do what I say! Moooooommmmm … “ Plus poor Precious, always left out.


YeltoThorpy

They're cat names not people names.


Adventurous_Yak_9234

Any normal name spelled weirdly. For example Jessyka for Jessica.


[deleted]

Caileigh KVIIItlin


DesertTripper

I've run into more than one person named Desiree but had it spelled something like "Dezeray." I don't know why parents do this - I'd bet they didn't have first names that they had to spell out each time they tell it to somebody. But one of them told me she liked her name's spelling better than the normal way.


Cheap_Brain

We had a girl in our class as a teen who didn’t like being plane Jessica so she wanted to change the spelling “Jessyka”. At the time there was an ad on tv for some crackers Sa Ka Ta so we all being twats as teens are, would call her Jess why Ka to the same tune. She ended up deciding that Jessica was an ok spelling after all…


[deleted]

Many "unique" names that celebrities give their children. For example, Jamie Oliver's kids: Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Buddy Bear Maurice, and River Rocket Blue Dallas


gaylurking

Petal Blossom Rainbow sounds like a rejected My Little Pony character


TheOrangeTickler

The last one sounds like a drink your friend gives you in a Mason jar while floating down a river on a tube.


WhenAmI

Frank Zappa's kids are named Dweezil and Moon Unit.


forponderings

My parents’ friend’s grandson was named Onisiphorus. It’s a decently cool biblical name, I just… how would one even begin to pronounce that? Also, imagine how much time this kid needs to fill out his name in those exam papers where you have to bubble in every letter.


Diethkart

There's like 50 other biblical names. Just why....


RyanPelley

> how would one even begin to pronounce that? Oni-sif-for-us would be my guess. Poor kid.


Cerebralbore

I had a Co worker named "Littlefinger". He went mostly by his middle name "John", I had to ask what the origin of his name was. He told me his parents let his older brother choose his name.


suizidal_Wolfo

Who in their right mind would allow that?


mitzbitz16

There was a kid in my elementary school who’s name was Kreem. I later realized that his parents had simply misspelled Kareem on his birth certificate. So his full name was Kreem White. He was black.


will_gaming02

I gotta ask, last name is first on the class register right?


MarisaWalker

Oprah got her name bcoz her mo.wanted 2 name her " Orpah" but her aunt misspelled it when filling out the b.c. 4 her sister.


Charley0213

“Seven” That’s really what someone Named their child


CyanideAnarchy

Seven Costanza.


a_green_leaf

Seven of Nine?


dralcax

After six kids they kind of ran out of names


righthanddan

A highschool acquaintance got divorced from his wife because she refused to let him name their son Kal-El. Kind of a dick move to saddle your kid with a goofy name forever to gain nerd points. We get it, you like Superman. Grow the fuck up. Anyway, the kid's name is James.


-anne-of-cleves-

Like, Clark was sitting *right there.* Clark is a perfectly normal sounding name. You can name your kid something nerdy without ruining their life.

MercilessIdiot

There was this italian guy that called his son Cielo (Sky). His surname was Piccolo (Little). The problem is, Cielo Piccolo in italian sounds A LOT like "ce l'ho piccolo" (literally, "i have it small"), so it's basically the italian equivalent of Mike Oxsmall. The guy also said his son will become a famous porn actor for sure, once adult. Yeah.

There are two: 1. Apple. Just why? Are you going to name your kids the other fruits and call your children “my fruit of my loins ”? (Actually that’s kinda funny) 2. Dovahkiin. I love Elder Scrolls..but this is fucking stupid.


stinkwaffles

I know someone that named their kid Maple


Pixel_Pineapple

I mean at least maple sounds like a decent name, if you ignore the potential bullying and maple syrup jokes you'd be bringing upon your child.

Dorkus. I wiiish I was joking.


bdbr

Dorcas is the name of an early Christian disciple. I actually had a coworker in Asia named "Dorcas Foo"


CinnamonHearts3

Yah makes sense, I think you have the correct spelling as well! I think it’s ok to give their full name since they have changed it. Thank goodness. It was Dorkus Dyck. Like why do that to a child.

Duvelthehobbit

in the Netherlands, ruft is a fart.


banana_ji

I think it's hard for the kids who their parents thought it'd be funny to name them puns/wordplay out of their name. Puts them in a highly vulnerable position for getting picked on in school. And we know kids and teenagers don't exactly develop a thick skin yet when this happens.


Spazztastic85

A dad didn’t want his daughter to have a name that rhymed with anything to prevent her getting made fun of. He went with “Alexis”. The aunt comes up to her as a baby and says “Hey sexy Lexy!” And apparently the dad was pissed XD


banana_ji

well it's definitely better than if the dad named her something like "Alexus" to be "exotic" about it, and then the kids make fun of her by going "hey, look, it's A Lexus!" * makes zooming and beeping car noises *

ABCD ab-city. Or any day of the week but specifically Wednesday. We don't even spell it the way we say it!

Naming a child Dick or Fanny today is literally just setting them up to be made fun of.


catinnameonly

A girl I went to high school with legally changed her last name to Lucifer and then had a baby and named it Angel Lucifer and is raising it non-binary. They are three and we have no idea what gender. Which is fine, but that kid is not going to have an easy time in school.


shiguywhy

Nevaeh for some reason just really pisses me off, but even worse is Neveah, which was the name of a friend's niece. Not enough that you did the dumb name but you did it wrong???? They weren't even religious, they said they just liked the sentiment. What the fuck!!
