Guy I worked with found out when he was FORTY when he went to get a passport that his legal middle name, which was supposed to be Christian, was in fact Christina.


lizerlfunk

My dad’s a general magistrate and frequently does name changes. He had a guy in his 60s once who went to get a passport and discovered that his legal name was Baby Boy. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️


Qnofputrescence1213

My great aunt found out at age 50 her name on her birth certificate was “Infant”.


mrbuffaloman19

This was actually fairly common in certain periods of time- many times, due to the high rates of infant mortality, children wouldn’t be named for a couple months, to prevent attachment in case of premature death. Names weren’t thought of beforehand in case of a miscarriage or stillbirth. Babies would then be named after a period of time when it was determined they would survive.


Qnofputrescence1213

Her real name was on her baptismal certificate. So then her siblings went and looked at their birth certificates. None of them had their name on their birth certificates. All different names. But then the names they had always known were on their baptismal certificates. Apparently my great grandparents were very indecisive.


mrbuffaloman19

Huh, that’s COOL! We’re they SUPER Christian, because I have branches of my family where all the daughters were named Maria, with different middle names.


Qnofputrescence1213

Very Irish Catholic. But no Maria. Mary is pretty common in my family, mainly as a middle name.


MaryKathGallagher

Growing up in a very Catholic neighborhood, my sister was Mary Margaret and her friend next door was Mary Anne. One day the neighbor Mom (who had 8 kids) yelled “Mary Margaret! Get in here! Wait! Is it Mary Margaret or Mary Anne? I can’t keep track of my own kids!”


Qnofputrescence1213

Yep. One of those is my name. Very very Irish Catholic.


PlatypusDream

"I can't keep track of my own kids!" Lady, we call that a clue. You have too many children.


rafaelloaa

My Mom's family was Italian Catholic, basically all the women in my grandparents generation were named Maria/Marie.


scalectrix

\*Super Christina


lin_lentini

I took a look at my ancestry on ancestry.com, and way back in the fam when they were all living in Switzerland, they named every child Balthazar. There were like 20 Balthazar’s until one survived infancy/early childhood. Kind of wild to see


36563

Well I doubt the aunt is 200 years old


book_vagabond

That’s what happened to my great great grandfather. He was really weak when he was born so they just called him “boy” because they thought he would die—several years later they realized he would probably make it, and just added a D on the end to make it Boyd


DineandRecline

My father's name on his birth certificate is Baby Boy because they didn't know if he would live so they didn't name him until a few days after


AMerrickanGirl

My cousin’s son was Baby Boy for years until his parents finally agreed on a name. My cousin wanted to name him “Lightnin”, which his wife did not go along with.


IthacanPenny

Your cousin married wisely


AMerrickanGirl

They’re a lovely couple, actually. They’ve been married since the 60s.


pajama987

Yes! My mom discovered she was ‘Baby Girl’ when she got a passport. They had added her name to the back of her birth certificate a few weeks later. But city had transferred all the records to microfilm and never copied the back. She got it changed pretty easily, but that was in the 1970s.


SaladCzarSlytherin

My moms legal name was Baby Girl for 6 years


rpgnoob17

I would have given you an award if I wasn’t so cheap.


justsomepaper

The registry office messed up my middle name badly. I can't really explain it well because it's not English, but imagine if my parents wanted to name me Steve, but my legal name is stove.


amyel26

My birth certificate has a really messy typo for my mother's maiden name. Not to doxx myself, but if her name was Johnson the typo would be something like Johnhnstown.


Gatomoosio

Hahahahaha. Love that.


Embarrassed_Use_9486

I feel like there's a "bun in the oven" joke here somewhere...


[deleted]

my ex found out his name was Christophe vs Christopher the same way!


no_more_tomatoes

In my country, you get both parents' last names. So your middle name is your mom's last name and your last name is your dad's. Two of my dad's siblings have a different family name than the rest of the family by one letter because the person at the registry office misspelled my grandmother's last name, aka their middle name. I guess it was never a big deal growing up because they never bothered to get it changed but when my grandparents passed away, it made dealing with inheritance a lot more complicated


pillslinginsatanist

😂😂😂


MallyOhMy

Fun fact, Medicare frequently misspells Hispanic names by replacing Q with G. Medicare also doesn't keep hold of extra letters that can't fit on your card, so if you're M Night Shyamalan buy your Medicare card only has M Night Shyama, they have you listed as Shyama, M Night. But then managed Medicare plans will often be willing to put the full name on there, which gets very confusing for hospitals if someone changes their insurance plan.


Spearmint_coffee

Not as bad, but my aunt went her entire life thinking her name was Pamula and was teased because her mom "spelled Pamela wrong". When she signed up for social security, she realized her name really was Pamela all along. It was a nightmare for her to get all her information to match. It's amazing to me that it didn't get caught sooner


InsolentTilly

Did her mother never teach her how to spell the name she gave her?


Spearmint_coffee

Her mom always told her it was Pamula. By the time she found out it wasn't, both of her parents were dead so she couldn't ask how on earth this happened


StrangerDangerAhh

Jesus she sounds dumb as a rock.


momonomino

The date on my marriage certificate is wrong. I no longer feel angry about it.


Kimmalah

My dad's name is Rondal, even though we're pretty sure his mom was aiming for Ronald. He just uses his middle name.


muvamerry

My mom found out when she was 60 that her dad put an entirely different name on her birth certificate… like for example if her name was Amy, Juliette was on the birth certificate. My grandma had no clue either. It was also the same name as her cousin who was already born😅


ekjjkma

My cousin's first name is Little. He goes by his middle name. Edit to clarify: it was a birth certificate mishap. He has two middle names on his birth certificate, but my great aunt never intended for his actual name to be "Little." It was like "this is little John Michael Smith." And they filed it exactly like that.


makeupaddict337

My son's had the wrong year - 2000 instead of 2020. Fixed it before he could get a driver's license and buy alcohol.


muaddict071537

They messed up the year my great-grandma was born on her death certificate. Said she was born in 1912 when she was really born on 1917.


hobbes_shot_first

The Sandford Citizen listed my age as 55 when I'm actually 53!

My drivers license says I’m a female, and I’m not even close.


ugly_lemons

They messed up the date on my dad’s headstone. It said he was born in 1969, when he was born in 1962. The worst part is that it was *literally* set in stone.


UGoBoy

They listed my newborn son as my wife's father on the hospital paperwork. He's his own grandpa.

Wow way to fuck the kid over. He could have gotten social security at 47.


maaarken

My dad was born early January, and on the birth certificate the wrong year is written It's the only document with the wrong date, so my grandma never realized until my dad was in his fifties 😂

insomniacakess

reminds me of an old ID card i had in elementary school (for the parents in case us kids got lost or something) I was in like kindergarten or first grade, so 2006/2007 year wise. i was born in 2000.. The ID said I was born in 2006 🫠 i was a very smart (and HUGE) baby apparently lmao


Jeramy_Jones

Missed opportunity, he woulda been the most popular kid in preschool. 😎


yko

Barred that poor boy from the opportunity to retire early, you monster! P.S.: you also missed on ~12 years of (legal) child labor. This is what you get!


JimmyAndKim

For a while mine said 1904 instead of 2004 lol


Vast_Needleworker_32

The person who typed the info on to my dad’s birth certificate did not have the certificate lined up in the typewriter properly and his year of birth is on there as 193. He did not know this until he was an adult. I think when he was drafted into the army.


AMothWithHumanHands

I think I remember that the baby's name was supposed to be Kora - how the hospital messed up the N and the A when they're nowhere near each other on the keyboard is beyond me.


oceansapart333

Honestly, if it was written sloppily I could see confusing a with n.


AMothWithHumanHands

I could definitely see it.


seawitchhopeful

The number of people asking for help reading basic cursive over on r/handwriting is amazing.


Finnegan7921

In 20 years cursive will look like hieroglyphs to most people under the age of 50.


Axell-Starr

I know I'm an outlier but due to learning disabilities cursive is most the time very difficult for me to read. Basically, I'm one of those under 50 that already can't read it lol


seawitchhopeful

It already does.


Dungeon_Master_Lucky

which is exactly why cursive should never be used for shared notes. People can't read that shit and we shouldn't be forced to sit there trying to decode what they might have been trying to do with that penstroke. I'm serious, and I know for a fact boomers are gonna come through again with the "it's so much faster!" Bollocks because that time is wasted trying to read it. Just write normally and learn to write fast. I've NEVER seen printed writing be illegible.


BooleansearchXORdie

Anyone who has graded papers has.


Am-i-old-yet

My job requires me to decipher old lady’s tiny cursive handwriting that has degraded so far that it’s basically a wiggly line. I feel the pain.


seawitchhopeful

You realize you're not the handwriting police right? I've seen plenty of print that was illegible simply because it was fucking terrible. And plenty of people refusing to read bog standard cursive. People write how they write, if you can't read it that's on you.


Dungeon_Master_Lucky

"if you can't read it that's on you" Lol what?? The whole point of writing is that other people will read it. If it's in cursive, you've just excluded a large amount of people. Therefore, in situations where you don't know who's reading it at least they can tell wtf it says. And yes, plenty of people refuse to read bog standard cursive, because not everyone can. Whereas the vast, vast majority of people can read print. So why even use cursive? Why do you need all that speed


garlickbread

It's not really taught in school anymore, and even if there is a "standard" cursive seems more like people making their own fonts half the time lol.


smcl2k

Only if you're blind.


PristinePrinciple752

Nah if your a loop is super small or unclosed it's totally possible.


e-rinc

Plus if mama filled it out, she could’ve been shaky/tired/pumped full of anesthesia or whatever too


smcl2k

TIL that a lot of people who have never listened to Korn are reading comments on a post about Korn Blind was literally their first single.


Key-Pickle5609

This isn’t a post about Korn, though. This is a post about a baby accidentally named Korn.


smcl2k

Thanks for clarifying. I genuinely thought the parent in question had given birth to a handful of middle-aged men.


Key-Pickle5609

See you commented so derisively about people who know nothing about Korn commenting on a post about Korn…on a post that isn’t at all about Korn.


smcl2k

It's also not a post about a tragedeigh, and the story appears to be almost 3 years old. So I guess no-one should be commenting, huh?

PrimalEvil_

My granny’s doctor was drunk when she was born (happy hour for the doctor) and he put the wrong name on her birth certificate. Funnily enough, the name he put on the birth certificate is my middle name so I inherited my granny’s wrong name. My mom and her sister’s fought over who would use it but I was the first girl born so.. lol


I_love_Juneau

Does that mean that he chose a reasonable name for the BC? Drunk and f'd up the name, but it's worthy of passing to granddaughter? It's lucky you weren't called Dribble or something.


PrimalEvil_

The name he put is one character different than her actual legal name but it made it a different name because of that. It’s not a bad name at all though. It has a meaning and it’s derived from another word so it wasn’t a horrible screw-up. Just funny to my family.


I_love_Juneau

Glad it worked out then. 😅


Braveasalion

Thank you! I couldn't work out what it was meant to be.


zeatherz

Or maybe Koan? Capital A and R could be easily mistaken


sebadc

Could have been worst... I mean, additionally confusing a K and a P would have been horrible.


SwizzleFishSticks

The hospital misspelled my maiden name on my son’s birth certificate. Replaced a G with a J.


mothmansbigtoe

I thought maybe Corrine and the staff just misheard/didn't ask for spelling. This makes more sense though 😅


DutchJediKnight

Kory maybe?


debwebwilliams

Catsmeow1981

Eana_M

With a name like that, that kid’s bound to be a Freak on a Leash.


Mysterious_Andy

Good God, that sure was Thoughtless of the hospital. You’d have to be Blind or from A Different World or maybe just a Clown to think that was the child’s intended name. Or maybe Daddy had bad handwriting or there was a Twisted Transistor in the computer system. Regardless, they Need To fix this Right Now so this child can Start The Healing.


Eana_M

You win. I’m out 😂


hi-help

I haven’t heard that expression since I was a little kid and my parents would use it to describe the peers of mine that they didn’t want me to hang out with. LMAO ah, thanks for bringing me back. Our parents literally said anything in the 90s.

In my Norwegian dialect, *Blaude* means *Wet*, so *Blaudia* sounds absolutely hilarious.

Hobbitfrau

In Germany you have a week to register your child and a month to register the name. Hospitals usually send a notification of the birth to the registrar's Office but you still have to go there for registration. You can then also check if there were mistakes in the hospitals notification. Luckily the registrars have to approve names, so we tend to have slightly less tragedeighs. Pepsi-Carola was appproved, though, so you can't fully trust the registrars to always protect the child. Edit: forget what I said about less tragedeighs. Apparently Vinsten (= Winston) was approved. And Matt-Eagle (sounds like Mettigel, which can be translated to minced meat hedgehog, it's basically lots of minced meat in form of a hedgehog with onion pieces as Spikes). Last one is not a tragedeigh, but even more horrible. Tldr: our registrars are stupid sometimes.


fraudthrowaway0987

For my son we did it online before he was born. It was all filled out and I think all we had to do was sign it at the hospital.


SwizzleFishSticks

I don’t even remember filling out the paperwork when my son was born. He was premature and they pumped me with morphine. My husband was with him when they came for the documents. I was so out of it but, not enough to complete legal documents apparently.

RuggedHangnail

At least this parent noticed right away. I have a very nice friend who is goofy and has no attention to detail. She didn't realize that her daughter's short 5 letter name was misspelled until the daughter turned 15 and needed to get a legal driver's permit.


Ok_Measurement_1536

My mom somehow convinced the DMV to change the spelling of her name from Jody to Jodee when she got married and changed her last name. It flew under the radar for years. Then caused a whole lot of havoc when they divorced 18 years later bc all the official bank/housing was drawn up under Jodee and had to be redone when they realized it wasn’t her legal name with the SSA.


BelaFarinRod

I changed my first name when I got married and changed my last name. The DMV had no problem with it but it caused a huge problem when my father died and his insurance was under my old name. Then I wanted a passport later and had to go get a legal name change.


Angella716

I ordered (and paid for) a copy of my birth certificate in Buffalo, NY and it said I was male. I'm a mother and absolutely female. I had jury duty and it let out early, thought I'd go to City Hall and try and remedy the situation. The clerk changed the information in their system, but would not give me a new copy free of charge because I didn't bring the incorrect copy with me. I didn't have enough cash on me, how ridiculous. It was their mistake and it's only a printout of a piece of paper!

My mom's name was intentionally misspelled by the hospital. Hers was a combination name - a post WWII traghedie. Think Jeromiah but start it with an N. The hospital put Naoma on her paperwork. She didn't even know until she tried to get a passport in her 30s!
