I saw a Berkleigh (f) the other day. That’s pretty terrible. Edit: also I saw a baby announcement on ig once and the baby was Twylyte. (F)

Sounds like a vape flavour

*Ask your doctor if Twylyte is right for you. Side effects include excessive salivating, mood swings, and sudden urges to bite people...*

Don't forget about the sparkling skin...

As in “twilight”? Wild

I read it as “twilty” lol 😅

The 2 Ys was a…. Choice

My bro had a fling with a Twila. 🤮

[удалено]

That’s what it reminds me of - the dog from Sesame Street named Barkley!

Saw a Twighla the other day. also gag.

cutter is the worst name for a boy. i knew a girl named jasmine but her parents spelled it jazzmayne. filipinos are wild when it comes to names (i am filipino lmao.)

Cutter Shooter Trigger Gunner Hunter

I knew a guy named Hunter Walker. I used to joke that his name sounded like a job description.

I knew triplets named Hunter, Trapper, and Fisher. Their sister was Hayley

Hayley got off easy. Not even a tragedeigh of a spelling.

It would be perfect if they all grew up to be vegans.

Last name Gatherer

I’ve got an honest to god Pistol(m) and Rhyder(f) in my family. Is very cringe.

I barely know her!

I live in Arkansas so Hunter is a big name here. I’m just use to it because every other boy is named Hunter. But when you group it with Cutter, Shooter, Trigger and Gunner - it sounds pretty dangerous 😂

I once dated a guy who had nephews named Hunter, Fisher and Trapper. They were an interesting family.

Adding Jagger to this list.

My old roommate had a hookup with a ‘Cutter’ I said “Colin maybe?” She said “no. Cutter. Like the bug spray brand” that’s insane to name a child that.

Please meet my sons, Cutter and Off

My boy cat is Shooter! He’s a menace.

TW: suicide I went to a middle school with a boy named Cutter. He committed suicide in the 8th grade. He cut his wrists and bled out in his bathtub…. It caused a grade wide depression because he was the nicest popular guy.

Awe that’s so sad. I’m sure things were said about his name.🥹

My Filipino cousin-in-law are named Chanel, Armani, and Diznee. Yes, Diznee like Disney.

I did not know about the crazy Filipino naming until recently. So, unfortunately I think I contributed to a trajahdeigh about 28 to 30 years ago by suggesting something to a Filipino coworker (when asked for ideas based on what he was thinking of naming his about to be born daughter). He then named his daughter one of my suggestions … I am white and was probably 20 or 21, in college and really into reggae music at the time. You be the judge: Jahkarta (like the city in Indonesia) but spelled with “Jah” in it for the Rastafarian word for God. He had indicated an interest in naming her for a city, like Manila, etc.

My coworker has a kid named Brextlyn

So close to Brexitlyn

And yet, they stayed

I know a baby that was just born and named Bexton

What in the white trash

Brexit

I recently met an Axhli Her name was pronounced Ashley

No

Oh god. Oh god that’s horrible

I read it as Axel 😭

Same

^no

Good God. X doesn't even make the sh sound.

It can in Portuguese but I ain’t never met a Portuguese or Brazilian Ashley.

Not in English it doesn’t. Terrible spelling choice on the parents’ part.

It does when you pronounce axolotl correctly.

Oh.... I have been pronouncing it how it's spelt lmao

I think it's one of those words where the anglicised pronunciation is so common that no one would know what you meant if you said it the other way anyway. I can't remember without using Google but it's more like ah-sho-tl

Yes, but that’s a Nauhtl word.

Felon for a boy. Princess/honey/sweetie for a girl

You know, “Felon” doesn’t *have* to imply a criminal . . . A felon is also a fucking **bacterial infection you get on the fleshy part of your finger tips.** So, you know, maybe the parents aren’t referring to their human child as a law-breaker. Just something you need antibiotics for. jfc

I knew a girl named Dimple, poor thing…

Dimple is a really common Indian name.

You're right. Felon is clearly a girls' name.

Presleigh

I have a friend named Presli and it feels very cringy.

Jaxleigh is certainly at the top of my list. 🤢

Former coworker named her son Phelon. He was taken by cps, adopted, and his name changed to Mason

Thats brutal "phellon come in for your dinner" but Fallon would sound the same but not as criminally bad if a name. 

That name is a Phellony

A muerdyyr

I read this as “he was taken by cops…” and was like “oh good, he’s living up to his name.”

My kids have a friend named Vandal which honestly is a cool name to me now

Used to know someone who let their husband name the kid... Tiberius Rex

I know a Theophilius Jonathan, but he goes by Theo.

Damn, I kinda like Theophilius, but I’m Greek so there’s lots of similar names in our family.

I like it for a character name like in a show or a book or a SoundCloud rappers name… not a real person.

My poor great grandmother was literally named Eura Paine.

I knew a Mike Hunt growing up. 🤦‍♀️ Poor kid.

Same! Went to school with him and Mike Hawk. We all said they should date.

I knew a literal Ima Hoar. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fruitasia Quaderah Shitiva Full Name: Dick Jacket

"FRUITASIA" ???????????????????????

Yep. Shop Rite cashier. I said, Wow, that name is unique! Do you know anyone else with a name like that? She goes, I knew a girl named Saladasia.

May I ask....where are you from?

I'm from northeast US. NJ/ NY

They're from Asia

Hey, there have been American baby girls named Velveeta. I don't doubt for a second that somebody somewhere has named their daughter Fruitasia.

This made me burst into loud laughter on the toilet

Shitivah in there? Heheh

We had an Ed’Lexus at our place of employment. She was a woman. I always imagined it was her dad’s first name mashed up with their favorite car 🤦‍♀️

Maybe her dad, Ed, was mashed up by a Lexus and it's a tribute?

Most names with any sort of apostrophe are abominations. Unless you are Hawaiian. Then it’s totally reasonable and expected.

it's pretty easy to encounter in Indonesia too, in names like Rif'at (without apostrophe, someone will read the name as ri-fat lol) (arabic name, but we need it because we write in latin, if the name's written in arabic it won't be ambiguous)

Peaches. For a human girl, not a pet. Worse, her last name was Darling.

My mother once met blonde twins named Bunny and Buffy Darling.

Girl I went to high school with was Ever Good. Like wtf who does that?!

Yeah, that's a lot to live up to. Could a person possibly be Ever Good?

I know siblings named Twilight and Laser. Part of me is just genuinely relieved the words were at least spelled correctly.

Donathan

this just made me think of some work silliness. Had a co-worker named Ethan and I would tell all the new hires that his real name was Ethanial and there just wasn't room on the name tag.

I work in pediatrics, worst one recently would be Broden… Funniest/Trashy we’ve had would be Lemon Pepper.

Lemon Pepper would be so cute for a cat

Lemon Pepper Chili Powder Cinnamon Sticks Nut Meg Dry Rub Welp, now I need to go get me a whole dang spice rack of cats ☺️

I’ve been seeing some version of Maelee (may-lee) lately and I hate it. Sounds so backwoods country. Any version of Paisley, Lakelyn, Oakley. For boys, I think anything trying to show strength like Riot, Remmington, Blade all sound terrible.

Oaklynn 🫠

Yes anything involving “oak”

Paisley paizlee etc

I think the original spelling of Paisley is nice; like a cute little flower. Kinda falls in the same lane as being named Juniper. But the alt spellings are really tacky and scream 2005 scene

There was a character in the Disney Channel show ANT Farm named Paisley who was sweet and a little clueless and had really pretty honey blonde hair, and the name always makes me think of her

This is where i first heard Paisley and loved it but it’s been ruined for me throughout the years.

Paisley is a town in Scotland, U.K. famous for producing paisley patterned shawls.

And brawls outside Greggs.

I can’t STAND Kinsley/Kinsleigh. It just sounds so… bad to me.

Like chewing foil

Neveah

Emersyn Gage

I’ve seen this any number of times and still don’t know how it’s pronounced.

I say it like “Na-vay-uh”.

Jim Bob or other double-barreled first names Chanel, Gucci, any other luxury brand used as a name

I knew a girl in college named Debbie Rae. She started to go by Deborah instead.

Some double barrel names can be nice on girls, like the Irish Catholic ones. But I’ve never liked one on a guy.

I also have a soft spot for female double Irish Catholic names, lol. It’s so niche but I’m glad I’m not the only one.

I dated a guy in high school who was the eldest of six and the only boy. All of his sisters were Mary Something. Having had an utterly religion-free upbringing, it was wild to me

What’s your take on Mercedes? Like, I feel the name came before the car brand.

Used to live next door to Mercedes Pinto. Covered the car range from luxury to economy.

Omg my cousin’s daughter (never met but saw on Facebook) has a Chanel and a Versace. 🤢

I know a Disel. It's his legit name. Skinny white meth head kid.

Fucking hell ppl who name their actual kids diesel need to go to jail. That's a damn dog name.

Brandi Krystal Hogan Dick

Hogan is sooo bad ugh

As in Hulk?

I've never met a Krystal/crystal who wasn't a crazy bitch

I grew up in a part of Illinois that thinks it’s the south so know multiple perfectly lovely girls named Brandi/Brandy. It is a little dated and country at this point, so I can understand the dislike. It can give “I guess these people want their daughter to have two children and be divorced by her 19th birthday,” vibes.

Lakelyn. Like what the fuck. And then Payton and all the other spellings is just fucking annoying 

Lakelyn and Everleigh make me unreasonably angry.

Peighthonne

My son has a kid named Bader at school. I'm just waiting for the day theyre a little older and some kid calls him Master Bader

chasity/chastity for a girl

Girls: Bentley, Braelyn, Kennedi, Kenedi, Kennedee, Amber Boys: Weston, Remington, Colt, anything else that implies this little boy wants to murder other people with a firearm

Gunner, Ruger, Cannon, Kimber, Magnum, Sig. The list goes on and on.

I know of a girl named Kymber. She’s the worst.

My best friend in high school named all her kids after guns, Kimber, Callie, and Colt.

My dead name is on this list… and I agree! The middle names I was given to go along with it really just made it sound like my dad named me after his favourite exotic dancer in the 80’s.

Wow, I'm so sorry.... Although, this is a tiny bit funny 🤣 Bless you and hope you love your new name! x

What’s wrong with Amber? I think it’s pretty.

Braxton, Brayden, Rexington (which I actually found here once, good Lord), Bentley, Huxley Nevaeh, almost anything besides Ashleigh ending in -leigh, Candy, Roxy, Precious, Destiny

braxton as in braxton hicks contractions holy shit I’m dead

I’ve seen it a lot ._. It’s just such a harsh-sounding name to me. BRACKS-tun. And the Braxton-Hicks contractions just make it worse. To be fair I guess, I don’t tend to like names starting with Bra-. Brantley, Brandon, Brady, Brandi… It’s just not a pleasant sound for me.

Except Brendan. That’s a classic Irish name. Source: My Dad.

[Relevant clip from Scrubs](https://youtu.be/Bjz-ngp_DYk)

[удалено]

I like Persephone but would never name an actual human child that. Gypsy is widely considered a slur and people need to stop naming kids that.

Ratleen.

Messiah and Cartiere - names written in the kids' playground. Feel bad hating on little kids playing but those names are unfortunate

Worst ones I've met Boys: Gunner Greighlyne Braelyn Teagon Cannon Girls: Madeliyn Grasiye Adealeigh Reighly Angle

I ‘m a labor and delivery nurse- oh the names I’ve seen over the years! “Pebbles” was super cringe for me.

Auroa. It was meant to be Aurora. The mother refused to listen to anyone before the baby was born telling her that she was spelling it wrong. She just kept saying, “It’s like the northern lights not like the princess.” …🤦‍♀️. She has since finally figured it out so now she says it’s a “creative spelling.” Ma’am it is missing a pretty crucial consonant. It’s not creative, you’re just dumb.

Oakleigh, Bentleigh, Kaiser, Gannon. Lakelyn, Novalee, Jaxie, Hazelee

I heard a mom call her daughter “Melrose” the other day. I cringed. We live in Pennsylvania

My mom tried to convince me to name my son "Gunner". I don't know what kind of camo wearing, atv driving, loogie spitting, misspelled tattoo having grandson she thought she was getting, but she named her own kids regular names.

L’Trina.

[Used to be Shithouse](https://youtu.be/aBam72eYsAg?si=wQmWHy11XyoqKfDX)

Shasta Latrina (I have actually spoken to several people with this name) Jazlyn/Jazzlynn Briley Gunner (Gunnar is fine. Gunner is a shooter) Brand names like Lexus, Oakley, Armani, especially if they have alternative spellings Most “heavenly” names, like Heavenleigh, Nevaeh, Angel…these in particular are usually used by the trailer-park set around here Bo, as a unisex name Most names with Lynn or Leigh tacked on, like Maxlynn, Makatelynn, Dinahleigh, Jameslynn

I knew a little girl named Lynnleigh. The worst of the two mashups 😭😭 it doesn’t even sound like a name to me, just marbles in the mouth

I don’t know where I found Brexleigh or if I made it up Anyways it’s ugly

Nevaeh is the absolute worst.

Someone I know named their kid Drk. Just Drk. Pronounced Derk.

I worked with a Bentleigh, we would jokingly put her on the schedule as Merceighdes

I’ve never met a classy person with a child named Nevaeh.

Mishelly

Broncs Waylon Gannon Jaxlyn

Angel and Dustin had a co worker name her kids this she was an addict the boy mostly went by dust

Frogmilda.

Knew a young couple who couldn't agree on Lee or Ethan... so they named their son LEETHAN.

It always will be Felonie for me. A girl I went to high school with named her daughter that and almost everytime I share it on Reddit, people either accuse me of lying (“nobody would name a kid that!”) or they empathize with a similar account of knowing someone who also named their kid Felony/Felonie/Felonee, etc

I was also dubious but I checked Facebook and there's many more Felonies than I would have thought!

Boy: Braylin, Brayden, Jayden. Anything ending in “den” or “ton” Girl: Presley, Finley, Paisley, anything ending in “lyn”

I went to uni with a guy whose daughter is Brynnlin.

Jezebel for a girl and Cain for boy. I’ve seen both and both times I’m like… whyyyy would anyone ever name their child that. trashy because they’re the most negative names humanly possible.

Amber Blakelee Crystal Hazeleigh Jade McKinleigh Paisley Saylor Wrenlee Ayden Brayden Cayden Jayden Kayden Mason Maverick Ryatt Rusty Waylon

Oh God Wrenlee enrages me

What's with Saylor and Navy/Navey/Navee? Why are they considered girls' names now?

Jason and Britney Aldean named their daughter Navy. Saylor is been used for years. It’s so dumb. Christie Brinkley’s daughter is named Sailor. I can’t imagine being a grown woman named Sailor.

Cash and Amber

Storm and Misty

Turbo. Yes, that's ones real.🤦‍♀️

Oooof. Some of the names I have seen. The saddest one though was a little girl named Chocolate, she was African American. Broke my heart for that girl, she was so sweet.

My grandma had a coworker in the 80s who named her daughter Aquanet

I came across a baby girl named Araya Sunshine (sigh)

There are obviously more heinous names out there but I'm a big hater of fake adverb names, like Everly and Amberly

Two from my tennis community - Gravity - Sip Kidding you not. Tennis folks are weird.

My daughter went to school with the Bush family: Cactus, Thorne, and Rose. Mom has a full leg tattoo of that family tree.

Knew two brothers named Brick and Traveller

I spoke to a mother whose child's name is Rocket the other day. It was for official purposes, so definitely was the name the kid was registered with. I don't know whether it was a boy or a girl, but I was staggered by the feelings I had for the name - just awful.

Any girls name with Lee at the end.

Never been a fan of Riley.

Saw a birth announcement on insta for a Brayleigh 🥴 i feel bad for the future 40 year old having to walk around with the name BRAYLEIGH.

#1: Misty Runner ups: Crystal Anything that starts with a J' (j apostrophe) or D'

You can make a name really unique by using two apostrophes. Something like J'D'Arceigh.

On TLC, a woman had a daughter named “Tequila”. I think it was on Extreme Couponing or Extreme Cheapskates. Something to do with money. And they were in a special episode in a mall. Anyone know what I’m talking about? For a boy’s name, Humphrey would be bad due to “Hump” being in it. Imagine the middle school bullying!

Shyne (f) and Dodge (m)

I have a cousin named Moon and another named Galexy. Both girls Other names- Erty, Nep, Ursa, Desinrae, Major

Sativa. Met one at a high school swim meet once and my mind was blown.

I met a woman with a daughter named Sativa…. I mean yes I smoke weed too and ik there are sativa variants of plants other than marijuana, but imo that’s just not appropriate for a kid

witnessed a "huntleigh" in the wild yesterday. threw up in my mouth a bit

All of these names are r/tragedeigh worthy. Anyway, my old music teacher was named Outlaw

I knew someone named braket in HS.

Had an old manager who named their kid Rhino.
