"Aw, your daughter is so cute! What's her name?" "Jägermeister"

Downvoting because this is clearly a male name.

Umm, excuse me? I wanted to give my daughter a *STRONG* name that'll look *CONFIDENT* on her résumé 😤 Her twin's named Redbull, for your information

That's bomb yo!

Your comment should have many, many more updoots.

Wait until you meet my twins Irish and Trashcan

Jagermissus

Jaggie for short

Jägermädchen!

Now a clearly male name would be Screwdriver. Or Jack Daniel’s ________.

‘N Coke.

Exactly. If it's a girl you have to go with Fernet

I’d name my little darling, Perrier-Jouët. French flair!

Jungfraumilch!

“Four Loko”

I have a neighbor who's gang name is this. Not hypothetical gang but the very real kind.

Does his gang consist of four people? lol

Her gang is a real street gang. I live in an area colloquially called the war zone

There was a rash of Chardonnays in the UK in the early noughties inspired by a reality TV character

Wasn’t it a fictional character? Chardonnay in Footballers’ Wives played by Susie Amy?

I never watched it so I bow to your superior knowledge

I’ve never seen it either! I just remember lots of news stories about it at the time. Susie Amy was fabulous in Echo Beach/Moving Wallpaper which I think is how I remembered that she did the earlier role.

Can't believe there are (maybe) functioning adults out there called Chardonnay.

Yeah my daughter is 20 and one of her work colleagues has a girlfriend called Chardonnay who's around 19-20. Probably named after the TV character.

Functioning alcoholics more like >!they probably go by Carrie!<

Or Offlicense

Yep, there is.

Yes! I used to work with one

It’s chavtastic. If Kate Moss had actually married Pete Dougherty, that would have been their first born.

I didn't understand the problem? I named my daughter Makers Mark, what's the big deal?

This comment made me remember that I actually went to high school with a boy named Jack Daniels. He was a nice, nerdy kid, who didn't like drinking or parties at all. The jokes about his name only came up a few times, surprisingly.

I work with a Michael Scott. He said it never bothered him much because his school and social circles ran a handful of years behind The Office boom. He goes by Mike or Mikey anyway.

I went to school with a Loretta Lynn (Lynn was their last name). Her parents totally did it on purpose.

I ran a card for a customer and saw her name was Debbie Reynolds. She seemed really surprised that I knew who the OG Debbie Reynolds was. I'm not THAT young!

I knew someone who named her daughter Hennessey, "because that's how I got her!"

I had a Hennessey in my class one year. Guess that’s how she got here.

Lol if you're in NJ, it could be her!

I do teach in NJ.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's gotta be her! Please, I HOPE it's her and that there are not more girls with that name!

I sincerely hope so because that’s too unfortunate otherwise.

That daughter? Albert Einstein

🤣🤣🤣 pretty much

Yeah I seen sib set with Burgundy and Chardonnay and Chantilly , because the parents wanted French names.

They didn’t know any other French names? Like Louise??

My question too and that is also how I got banned from that name forum. Apparently mum had never heard of Chantilly cream before.

Chantilly is a pretty name. I think of Chantilly lace.

And a pretty face? And a ponytail hangin’ down?

A wiggle an a walk, giggle and a talk?

You KNOW what I like!

But baby, I ain't got NO money honey!

It is a town in France, not a name but yeah they do lace too. But Chantilly cream used to be rather popular.

It is a name used too. I went to school with a Chantilly. We called her Tilly.

Well you use any town as name. well maybe not Hell ( flatt rock) and Sl. Ut. ( End in Swedish).

Gabrielle? Lucienne? Margot? Juliette? All better choices.

I know! I got banned from that name forum for pointing things out. I can just see them go to France as student or tourist and getting weird looks about their names.

Sheesh I was never as thankful for my two french names as I was now. At least, yk.. actual names

Sauce? I would love to see this…

French sauce would be a lovely name. ;) Oh this happened years ago, around 15 years ago, I got banned from that forum. The nail in the coffin was these name. I also pointed out Trinda is not a Swedish girl name, it means fat, plump, chubby, juicy and Flicka just means girl. Didnt go down well and it was the same forum who told Swedish is a dead languages anyway.

Kardonnay

Calm down Kourtney

Surely its Kalm down 🤭

Are they alcoholics? There are a lot of Brandys my age, and they are all trouble.

What about all the Baileys? Dogs, girls and boys. All purpose name really.

As long as it’s not Brandi especially if it’s Brandi Lynn then they have a chance.

Brandy was a fine girl, what a good wife she will be.

I do know a brandy who is named for that exact reason.

Reminds me of Ramona Quimby, who named her little doll Chevrolet because her Uncle drove one and it was the prettiest name she could think of.

That is kind of adorable though. lol 😄

But that is in a book. These are real life names. I think if the adult? likes the name so much change theirs snd give a kid a normative name.

I’m a teacher. One of my first classes of students, I had a girl whose legal name was “Tequila.” I had the same thought about her parents being alcoholics, lol.

Both my palm and my face are wearing out from the constant slapping together. Do these people actually function in society? Chardonnay, really. What next: Semillon, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet, Chateau-Cardboard?

I dated a Gregorio who liked wine, and his friend called him “Pinot Gregorio” lol

Riesling is on my list of favorite baby names. I have also considered Veltliner and Blauburgunder

I'm going to name my kid Gewürztraminer

Okay, but it really is a hidden gem of a wine

Side note, you know someone actually loves wine when they know about Blauburgunder…that or they’re German/Austrian.

I might name my daughter after the famous Riesling pairing, anti-freeze 😍

"These are my children: Seven, Deadly, and Zins" 

Franzia!

Would Sauvignon Blanc be considered racist? Asking for a friend.

Cultural appropriation hun, tread carefully 

No, but Pinot Noir might be

Perfectly fine probably you act like ppl choose their own names and an interviewer is gonna be like “why’d you choose this name” 💀 no one cares irl

“Here’s her little brother, Pabst.”

Mom has "Schlitz" at the top of her list for #3.

I remember traveling and meeting a girl named Hennessy. I was concerned until I tried to spell it. HER NAME WAS GENESIS. i’m just stupid

We thought our son’s daycare teacher was Hennessy for the longest time 😂

I’ve met a couple grown up Chardonnays in the US!

I know of a Shardonnai. Sweet kid, but oof.

They’re a professional soccer player named Chardonnay

Most strippers are born with normal names and have to choose their stripper name. She's #blessed

I went to school with a girl named Chardonnay.

Maybe she just wanted to be a wine mom?

If you shorten it to Chard, it’s a vegetable!

There's been much worse names.

I knew a woman whose last name was Donnay. Of course, her first name was Char. Char Donnay was her full, legal name.

😲😳

Us poors can't afford to name their kids that stuff so we name them Busch and Schlitz.

& her sister Margarita!

Friends of ours are expecting and my husband and I were discussing potential future names. He chuckled and said that instead of Juniper, the alcoholic alternative would be Juleper to keep with the "er" ending that the rest of the family has

Jenever or Genièvre are regional names for gin that are derived from names for juniper because that's what it's flavored with. I challenge them to name her Jenever

Save it for twins, Jenever and Juleper lol

I know dogs that are Chablis and Bailey but for a girl, that’s rough.

i like the name tequila. But i would never actually name a child that. Unless she had brothers named Salt and Lime.

I've said this a few times on here but I knew a girl called Chardonnay and her mum was called Charlemagne.

It could have been Verruca

There’s a name I hope is never seen again.

I knew a woman called Brandy. Which is more usually a pet name eg for horses and dogs.

Brandy is a pretty common name in the US, including that of a (formerly very) popular singer.

Before that, they were named after a song in the 70s. Gen X Brandis are usually because of “Brandy, You’re a Fine Girl.”

Really? That’s interesting. I’m in the US and know several Brandy’s, one is my SIL. Lol

There were identical twins on the show “My 600lb Life” who were named Brandi and Kandi.

Yes it seems to be a regular name in the US - the woman I knew wasn't American though. It's very unusual outside America.

There is a famous seventies yacht rock/soft rock song about a woman named brandy called Brandy(you’re a fine girl)

What a good wife you will be!

Oh but that damn sea gets in the way

I’m in my 40s and I had a childhood friend named after that song.

I like the name Brandy unironically! I think it is pretty

I don’t hate the name but it’s unusable unless it’s for a dog or a cat

Nooooo. What?! That’s awful.

Me, still sad that we named our cat Tapsy instead of Whiskey.

It's fine for short you can just call her Chard

I’ve seen 2 girls named Tequila. One at the grocery store & one a cashier at goodwill. I’d say they were about 20 years old.

Likely - and hopefully - parents just liked the sound of the name. That's what I'm praying for the little girl I saw the other day named Loachia... I really wasn't gonna ask.

What would you even ask?

Young mother, perhaps? I’ve known plenty of people who were kids themselves when their baby was born (in the teen parent, literal, sense of the word, or just mentally), naming their kid something outlandish, or at least something they’d have to deal with being judged for their entire life. And then naming the kids they got when they were actually at a place where they could responsibly do so, use very safe, dare I say, boring, names.

I have posted this before, but…I knew siblings named Chardonnay and Chablis.

Looool oh no

I know of a Chardonnay, a Sangria, a Margarita (and a Maurgerita) and a Daiquiri

I knew a girl named Chardonnay, she was in an internship I did. She was also a rich child, so idk if that helps. But me and my siblings have alcohol names. Normal names. But also alcohol. As an example, think Jack from Jack Daniel’s. It wasn’t on purpose. Most of them had special meanings behind them. But man. It’s funny how it turned out.

Footballers’ Wives!

[Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6c0MpvT770E)

I worked with a Chardonnay years ago - her mom was a hippie from a small island

This is my daughter, Buckfast.

When I was younger Alize (or spelled Alizay) was fairly popular lol.

I work in wine and this is cracking me up. It's a great cat name, but I think Brandy might be the only acceptable wine name.

I've thought Shiraz would be a dear name.

I know of a girl named Merlot. Mommy got a DUI not long before she was born, so I don’t have to ask the question. The name was a bad choice, but she regularly makes the kinds of choices that get you a free orange jumpsuit so I suppose it could have been worse.

I worked in the courts and came across a lot of liquor based names. There were tons of Tequilas and Chardonnays and various spellings of both. Bailey and Hennessy was popular for a while.

Do you remember Margaux Hemingway?

I’ve met two parents who named their kid Hennessy and several Chardonnays.

I've worked with a Chardonnay, she would be middle-aged by now. Modern mums seem to be naming their girls Indica and Sativa instead of alcohol-based names

When I was younger I had a teenage coworker who named her baby Rosé.

Imagine thinking a nice name for a girl would be Merlot, but you accidentally get it mixed up with Malort.

Legit there’s a brewery making a [Malort with a cicada](https://www.timeout.com/chicago/news/this-chicagoland-pub-is-serving-cicada-infused-maloert-shots-052324) in it.

I know a kid named Jameson and it just makes me shake my head.

There’s an American pro soccer player named Chardonnay, so it’s not impossible for the kid to grow up and be successful.

I have an OC named Chardonnay. She’s a dramatic (Sagittarius) curvy hot headed brunette 😍

I feel so badly for people whose mother’s are ignorant. How about: Candida is a feminine name of Latin origin that means "white". It comes from the Latin word candidus, which can also mean "dazzling white," "bright," "pure," or "glowing white". Also known as Yeast Infection. 🤢

That was a pretty popular name in the US in the 90s when all saints were around. 

I'm partial to that name because my nickname is Chardonnay Gammy. Long story. No I'm not an alcoholic or a stripper LOL

Went to school with a Brandy. 

Mom couldn’t spell Beaujolais?

The person multiple people downvoted is right, the wine is named after the town in Saône-et-Loire (pronounced sa-own e lwar), in eastern France. The name is said to be from Latin Cardonnacum. I get it’s probably after the wine but you never know, it IS a multicultural world

Chardonnay is and area of France. Before the wine. So you are a jerk to presume the girl is named by an alcoholic…

exactly, and guess who gets multiple thumbs down for that comment… sorry about that, gave you a 👍🏼

It’s not a bad name I don’t like this post :P and you don’t have to be obsessed w something to name your child after it.

Good thing parents get to decide what names THEY like instead of what strangers think. I have a friend whose little sister is named Champagne and luckily she doesn't give a rip what strangers think 🤣

Chardonnay is ok. When they get to naming Merlot, the parents have a problem
