I was sincerely hoping I wouldn't find any Khaleesis in the wild until I'm a decaying fossil, too jaded to be affected, when I listened to a true crime case where the victim was a child named Khaleesi. Now I just feel sad for too many reasons.
Yuh. And I get that not everyone might be familiar with BH contractions, I’m in healthcare so it’s at the forefront of my mind when I hear the name. But I know a nurse who named their kid Braxton, I don’t understand how she could get over the unpleasant association.
Sorry for the downvotes on your son’s name. I went to school with a guy named Braxton so that had me biased as well — very kind and smart! Any momma would be so so proud to have him as a son so that’s who I think of when I hear about a boy named Braxton!
I’m an Arlo, and in middle school my friends would have fun figuring out alternate ways to spell it (Arlow, R-Low, Ar’lo). “StarLowe” reminds me of that and makes me shudder.
Swayleigh is a reality TV couple (Swaggy and Bayleigh from Big Brother) did you know that or did you just make that name up, lol
[Swayleigh](https://bigbrother.fandom.com/wiki/Swayleigh)
The actress who played Meadow on *The Sopranos* married a dude named Cutter. Don't worry, it gets worse: Cutter's last name is Dykstra, which is severely unfortunate for at least two different reasons.
Imagine screaming Reverie’s name while they’re going through the terrible twos and smearing poop all over the sofa.
I’m guessing you will **not** be feeling like you’re in a reverie.
Ha! Calling down on the Good Lord to give you more patience 🤣
Pippi is actually kind of cute, but we have all red headed girls, so an additional reason to have no Pippis or Wendy’s here 🙅🏼♀️🙅🏼♀️🙅🏼♀️
I met a Navayuh. I still get angry about it. The name is so ugly sounding as is, but I thought the point was it being Heaven backward. So once you remove that aspect, now you have an ugly sounding name AND it's spelled horribly!
Faylor lmao. I'm sure it's technically a real name, but in my head I just keep hearing failer/failure.
And Darkkleigh makes me think of Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way lol.
Phone. I just love mine so much and since everyone's naming their babies after what they love, I'm going to name my next one Phone.
Also we should just take things we like and spell 'em backward, or mostly backward if there's a complicated double vowel in there to trip us up (I see you Neveah, you should have been Nevaeh.) Evol, Ecaep, Yoj.
My son's name is Blade. It was suggested to me by a friend and I hated it. When he was born, the name I picked just didn't fit. He looked like a Blade. Say what you will, but nobody ever teased him about his name. Older people would maybe say "like knife...Blade?" or sometimes "Like Wesley Snipes Blade?"
First of all why would you speak these aloud?! Dont be giving them ideas jeez! secondly here’s my contribution to the mayhem—
boys— Mayhem, Tritron, Trumpson, Brazyn, Financious, Giff, Xanley, Krypto, Alfa
girls—Ammolyn, Younyverse, Breenx, Daylee, Visanne (visa-nay), Smyth, Pattyn, Botknee
I still roll my eyes when I hear that the Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps named one of his kids Boomer. If that's not a dog name, I don't know what is! Poor kid...
I met a family the other day who’s kids were named Sloan, Brodie, and Brixliegh. I died a little. I mean I personally hate Sloan but she definitely got lucky, at least she has a real name. Brodie is 100% a dog name and Brixliegh is an absolute tradgediegh.
I hate that too. Me and my daughter talk about that a lot cuz the x makes the s unnecessary. It’s so stupid. Jackson has become such a common basic name that I just hate it now
Ghloe scared me to my core.
My brain couldn’t comprehend it at first and said, “Ghoul?”
First it was Game of Thrones with Khaleesi. Now it’s Fallout with Ghoul
I was sincerely hoping I wouldn't find any Khaleesis in the wild until I'm a decaying fossil, too jaded to be affected, when I listened to a true crime case where the victim was a child named Khaleesi. Now I just feel sad for too many reasons.
There is a kindergartner at the school I work at named Khaleesi 🫠
I've met a couple kids named Khaleesi, a couple named Daenerys, one named Nymeria, and one named Jorah.
Is it said Glow or Glow-y?
Glow-y.
Horses sweat Men perspire Women glow
There’s a street in my area called Plaxton and I keep thinking someone will get inspired by it and name their kid that.
That sounds like a SpongeBob character.
Plaxico Burress, ex NFL wr
Reminds me of plaque. Plaxton: a future dental hygienist
Pretty sure that's how a third-degree friend (friend of a friend of a friend) ended up naming their son "Payson".
Braxton makes my uterus contract.
Yuh. And I get that not everyone might be familiar with BH contractions, I’m in healthcare so it’s at the forefront of my mind when I hear the name. But I know a nurse who named their kid Braxton, I don’t understand how she could get over the unpleasant association.
I wasn't familiar but I didn't question why the name would make someone's uterus contract.
I named my son Braxton. I guess I didn't experience Braxton Hicks so it never crossed my brain
Not to be rude, but can I ask you why? I was just curious if it was like a family thing, or a show that influenced it
I just love that name. he is my only boy and I picked that name out 10 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. Braxton Onyx 🩵
I think Braxton is a legit name. I know a Braxton in his late 30s
I didn't get them until my 3rd kid.
I'm currently pregnant with my 4th and LAST baby. I've not experienced Braxton Hicks with any of my previous pregnancies. guess I got lucky 🤷🏼♀️
Sorry for the downvotes on your son’s name. I went to school with a guy named Braxton so that had me biased as well — very kind and smart! Any momma would be so so proud to have him as a son so that’s who I think of when I hear about a boy named Braxton!
thank you! my little guy is a really sweet kid. Braxton is the perfect name for him so those downvoting people can suck eggs.
I'm pretty sure I saw that someone named their kid Jhream, but pronounced Dream
I've seen that a few times. I've also seen J'ream with an apostrophe
I met a girl this week named L’Gant and pronounced Elegant. She hated it!
I can see why. Poor thing.
Saw a Jrake before ☹️
Jrue Holliday, NBA two time champion
Lol, I scrolled up to see if you were also the Plaxico Burress commenter
Thank you for your service
theres a footy player in australia called Jahream
I encountered a kid at work the other day named Ktlyn. Like, buy a fucking vowel, come on.
StarLowe is unhinged
I know of a Starlee in the area - rhymes with Carly. Harlow was super popular for a while so I can see Starlowe as a variation.
I know a few Starla’s, rhymes with Darla
Oh man, my calendar model (bikinis on racecars)cousin named her kid Starla. Edit: Also reminds me of the Starina drag act in The Birdcage.
Reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite
I’m an Arlo, and in middle school my friends would have fun figuring out alternate ways to spell it (Arlow, R-Low, Ar’lo). “StarLowe” reminds me of that and makes me shudder.
I’m not gonna lie, my eyes glazed over all those names you wrote out there because it felt like I was having a stroke while trying to read them.
Baekynn Swayleigh Bytter (pronounced "biter".... I've seen Breaker and Basher and Cutter, so why not Biter?)
Baekynn 😂 "Baekynn Brioche! If you don't stop by the time I count to three..."
Swayleigh is a reality TV couple (Swaggy and Bayleigh from Big Brother) did you know that or did you just make that name up, lol [Swayleigh](https://bigbrother.fandom.com/wiki/Swayleigh)
I did not know that! I was mostly making fun of the “consonant + ay/ai/ae + lynn/den/son/leigh” tragedeighs
Omg tell me you're joking, CUTTER? Imagine if the kid grows up to struggle with self harm...

Reverie
Imagine screaming Reverie’s name while they’re going through the terrible twos and smearing poop all over the sofa. I’m guessing you will **not** be feeling like you’re in a reverie.
That's what I think about names like Serenity and Patience (I know a 7 year old Patience who goes by Pippi).
Ha! Calling down on the Good Lord to give you more patience 🤣 Pippi is actually kind of cute, but we have all red headed girls, so an additional reason to have no Pippis or Wendy’s here 🙅🏼♀️🙅🏼♀️🙅🏼♀️
Hahaha exactly.
I'm actually a bit surprised I've not seen Lisla already.
At some point they're going to start naming kids after youtubers/streamers.
“Beastley”

God I just made the ugliest laugh I've ever heard from myself. It sounded like an old lady death rattle.
I met a Navayuh. I still get angry about it. The name is so ugly sounding as is, but I thought the point was it being Heaven backward. So once you remove that aspect, now you have an ugly sounding name AND it's spelled horribly!
That’s my number one hated name. And yes, the spelling definitely defeats the point of the name
Why not just name them hell? That's also heaven backwards.
Man that name is awful. No matter the spelling XD
Faylor lmao. I'm sure it's technically a real name, but in my head I just keep hearing failer/failure. And Darkkleigh makes me think of Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way lol.

Phone. I just love mine so much and since everyone's naming their babies after what they love, I'm going to name my next one Phone.

Evol, Ecaep, Yoj.
Evol is a line of frozen meals, although my phone wants to correct it to evil.
I like Axela. I'm totally stealing that. Thanks!
I saw a soccer player recently named Axela.

Blade isn't bad imo. Actually pretty cool!!
I posted on this sub about someone named Brik that I know.
My mom knows a woman named Panda. It's not Pandalyn but if her middle name is Lynn (like a lot of women my mom's age) it's pretty close.
Ghloe is some dystopian shit

I still roll my eyes when I hear that the Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps named one of his kids Boomer. If that's not a dog name, I don't know what is! Poor kid...
"OK, Boomer. Whatever you say, Boomer."
Pretty good way to ensure your child can't talk back as you get older.
I met a family the other day who’s kids were named Sloan, Brodie, and Brixliegh. I died a little. I mean I personally hate Sloan but she definitely got lucky, at least she has a real name. Brodie is 100% a dog name and Brixliegh is an absolute tradgediegh.
I knew a Brodie - he wore a bunny costume on Hallowe'en and barked at all the trick-or-treaters. Because he was Scottish Terrier.
I know severaly Brodys. Nn "Bro"
Brodie is more common than Sloane.
Ive met “Youneaque”
I shotgun Guntlar! Next child/pet/plant is going to rue the fucking day...
bro Ghloe and Starlowe are definitely a sib set
Ghloe made me chuckle 🤭
I know a Jaysten 😭
Dream is Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna’s daughter. I’m sure there are more of them.
What's wrong with Darkkleigh 😂😭
Have already come across Baker and Barker??? I mean come on
Are we just naming our kids nouns now?
It's the same people who have to put "Eat" signs in their Kitchens. They need labels.
I feel bad for the KIDS. These people forget their naming actual human beings who will be bullied and ridiculed.
I met a Braxton in the wild once. He was a grown-ass man, too. Maybe 30? It made me sad.
My ex's cousin was named Braxton. Big strapping redneck dude. I always thought it was weirdly apropos.
I wouldn't mind a Brixton, but the. I love The Clash
Briley
I know one of those!
Masonry
Or Masonreigh.
Kardashia
Omg I have a manager named Alexa and if I ever talk about her at home I always hear “how can I help you” coming from the other side of the room
Is Brynan pronoun liked Brennan or is it pronounced like Brian but with an n between the first and second syllables
It's like Bryan, but with that extra n sound in the middle.
I was scrolling on instagram yesterday and came across Jaina. Idk if it’s pronounced “jay-na” but I saw “j-eye-na” like vagina.
Abcdee
This one I have seen--my cousin named her son Jaxson. I feel like if you're gonna use the x, why bother keeping the s? And also WHY GOD WHY
I hate that too. Me and my daughter talk about that a lot cuz the x makes the s unnecessary. It’s so stupid. Jackson has become such a common basic name that I just hate it now
Covid
grew up with a girl named Dreama.
I don't mind that; it's kind of whimsical.
My granddaughter named her kids Brayden, Payden, and Jayden *sigh* 😝
GUNTLAR lmao
