Kinumi Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I dunno about first names alone, but if we're talking about origins, I know someone named Kitty because her parents ran over a dead cat on the way to the hospital :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djing Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Probably not legit, but I once overheard someone say they knew someone who tried naming their baby Groudon Rayquaza Thompson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaMonkey Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) "North", made all the weirder by the child's surname being "West" (Then again, the child does have Kanye West as a father, so I guess it's to be expected...). Runner-up for me has to be Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin naming their child "Apple". Edited March 3, 2014 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Khaleesi. New parents, please stop naming your kid that. Its a title, not a name. And its dumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I live in Utah, so, um, this is sort of par for the course: I mean, most names are standard names, but there are plenty of perfectly unique names out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just...eeeeeeeh. WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN?! You know what really boils my snow? People who spell names super funky in order for them to be "unique" but its just fucking Michaela. It being spelled "Mickaylah" does not make your child special. It just makes their life horribly inconvenient in the realm of spelling. (and their checks always getting the name wrong. Its pretty miserable, people so cut that shit out!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes their life horribly inconvenient in the realm of spelling. (and their checks always getting the name wrong. Its pretty miserable, people so cut that shit out!) There is a relatively common thing here in brazil that consists of picking an english name and putting a lot of weird consonants in the middle (or doubling them), specially k, y and w, which aren't normally used in portuguese. It's generally (but not always) associated with poor people. Like, Dayanna, Wylsson, Rycharddy, Woshynton, or my favorite Waldysney. I don't really these as that weird, though, since I'm kind of used to seeing them. Edited March 3, 2014 by Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freohr Datia Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I don't remember any atm, but then I came across... You know what really boils my snow?

It just makes their life horribly inconvenient in the realm of spelling. (and their checks always getting the name wrong. Its pretty miserable, people so cut that shit out!) ................. My name is Katelynn... is that funky enough to be considered bad? It's definitely uncommon... But... I quite like my name ;u; So... as long as I like it I guess~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxSpes Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Some people in my province wanted to name their kid 'Spatule'(literally french for a spatula). Other weird names would C'est-un-ange(he's an angel) et Caresse(hug). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely uncommon... But... I quite like my name ;u; So... as long as I like it I guess~ That one isnt too bad. Especially with Catelyn becoming a popular name. (Pronounced Kat-elin) Thanks Game of Thrones.... And it doesnt look absolutely ridiculous or hard to spell. It also makes sense phonetically and your eyes arent trying to deal with all these ys and hs. Ive seen peeps that have my name but its spelled like the following: Jaymee Jaimiee Jaymy And other stupid variants. The placing of the i is not terribly important. My mum was also something of a victim of this although it seems innocuous enough. Jeanie is a common name. Dropping the e at the end, not so much.

mewyeon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I don't remember exactly where this was from, but I was once doing a roll call for something and there was a girl who's name was Lakiesha. It took me a really long time to figure out how to pronounce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
