Jewelee (Julie) because they wanted Jewel in there I guess
Once had a friend who said she had 3 middle names. Then she said what I thought I heard as Julianne. I thought she was joking and laughed at her joke.
Then she got mad, called me stupid, then clarified that her 3 middle names were Jewel Lee Ann.
I still thought she was joking. She was not.
I have a friend with three middle names too but he seemed used to people being confused and just told me where they came from.
Jewel is a perfectly fine name on its own, wtf
Even Jewelie would have been better despite being atrocious on its own
It sounds like theres two people named Ellie. One of whom is Jewish.
And they decided to distinguish her by calling her Jew Ellie.
Ah the original working name for the villain of 101 Damnations. Jew Ellie DeVille. That was Walt’s contribution.
Why did I read this in Chris-Chans voice??? Why am I this brainrotted?
I had a customer once at an old job whose name was spelled Deborah. Seems completely normal until she got super mad at me for calling her “Debra” because I was somehow supposed to know her name was pronounced “Deb-Or-Ah”. With the “Or” being stressed.
Tell debdeb to calm down
Clearly named after the girl in Disco 2000.
She was like 50 so I doubt it lol
The solution is to put all of the uniqueness in the middle name. Then you still get to feel “special” while not forcing your kid to go by “tragedeigh” or whatever.
When I chose my name - I made my first as milquetoast and appropriate to my age as possible. My middle I went balls out - I guarantee I have a cooler middle name than you do.
I found Kyle “The Yellow Dart” Smith, everyone!
That’s if you can choose a middle name at all. In many places (including where I am) you only get to choose the given name, then the middle name is for example the father’s, and the last name is the family name.
Middle name is not a thing where I live. People can have 1 or more given names (I know of people that have 9), but none of these are considered ‘middle name’.
How dare you. You dont beat me, Faustus
I named myself after two scientists, whose work I share with the world regularly 😉
Dunning-Kruger, as an example case?
Do you also regularly visit 1885 in a steam-powered flying time machine?
Brayden, Hayden, jayden, tayden, kayden, rayden, shayden, cayden, pretty much the whole alphabet ending in den. And yes I met every single one of these
Most of these are normal names tf 💀
None of those are bad. It’s when it’s when it’s like Breighleigh or stuff that it’s bad.
Breighden.
Welp found taydens mom
It is unusual and I don’t like it, but I wouldn’t say it is bad. If I liked the person I would probably come to like the name.
I have no interest in having children, and if I did I wouldn’t name them Tayden, but if somehow both of those things were true, I certainly wouldn’t spell it Teighden.
For once I’m on the cop’s side.
I am happy that here in Finland you can’t name your child whatever you want.
‘Whatever you want’ would be a terrible name
Yep, the government would say no to that name.
The downside is, neither can any adult. I think the first name limitations should only apply to kids; legal adults should be able to change their names to whatever they want, no matter how stupid it is. It could only hurt themselves after all
Toneigh 🐴🐴🐴. As in Toni or Tony.
Full name, Toneigh Lynne Groan.
Ptoughneigh
Brothers with Phteven
Damn why don’t they have a toe emoji.
I knew a guy once whose last name was “EA.” Two capital letters. He pronounced it “Yeah.” His first name was Rodrake.
I guess it wasnt in the name afterall
(Is it “ea sports its in the game or name”?)
Wasn’t it, EA sports, it’s in the lame?
EA Sports. It’s the same game you bought last year with slightly updated graphics and rosters, but a whole new set of DLC to buy.
E. A. Sports. It’s just the same.
E A Sports, its in the blame!

Nothing could be worse than X Æ A-12.
Can you just use all of unicode in the US for baby names?
There are a lot of reasons why musk should be (and soon enough will be) jailed, this is one of them. This is child abuse, literally
What makes you so confident?
That is like a grandma reading a hash out loud
I’m now thinking of that classic post from the old site that shows someone’s painstakingly cursive-written note of the entire text of a bluescreen (the old bluescreen with a lot of characters on screen) for tech support.
And thinking of a slightly more tech inclined grandma who doesn’t quite get all of it having a problem with a torrent and just reading the infohash/magnet link to the ISP’s support call center.
…what kinda hash?
Brownie
like a sha-512 for example, if you are not familiar with the concept. go ahead and google it :)
Hashashin, get stabbed loser.
Why did I read that in Napoleon Dynamite’s voice?
Yeah that dude is obsessed with x. He slaps it everywhere he can
That’s what happens when you prevent your kid from exploring X sites till your adulthood
I once had a student named Dominca. It was supposedly pronounced Duh-mawn-i-ca. She would get very irritated that people “didn’t know how to read” when they pronounced it doh-minca
Verbalee. I met this in IRL.
A girl named Abcde
tbf, it supposed to ve pronounced Absedee. which isn’t ugly phonetically, but being named Abcde???
Now that you spell it out, Absedee (or maybe Abesede?) is actually kind of cute and not too hard to read. The parents could have spelled it phonetically and then later explained it comes from abcde.
“Abesede” is getting too close to “obesity”, but I think “Absedee” works. But yeah, people need to stop trying to use letters and symbols to replace the phonemes of that letter’s name.
But yeah, people need to stop trying to use letters and symbols to replace the phonemes of that letter’s name.
The whole point of written language is to replace phonemes and other concepts to symbols.
Unbeknown to us, those Karen creating Tragedighs are actually evolving human language.

kayleigh and stuff like that is pretty common where I’m from.
Morridor is the funniest name I’ve ever heard of for the Wasatch front (shot in the dark)
Have you run into a Teancum?
For those that are not up on your mormonisms, it’s pronounced:
Tea-an-cum
An it’s a boy’s name.
Tea-an-sum
or
Tea-an-kum?I’m always up for tea n’ cum with the boys.
Abcde (pronounced AB-sid-ee) was certainly memorable if nothing else.
I’ve seen this name also in the wild. Girl was pretty fat too. Poor kid.
Oh dear lord no
I fully came in here with this name in mind. Lol in the 10 years since I’ve first heard it, I’ve never come across anyone else who has heard the same. I somehow hope we’re all running into the same Abcde and there aren’t just hordes of them out there.
Reminds me of that kids book CDB
This is actually a tuff name
I remember reading an article about an airport staff person ( possibly TSA? ) laughing about a little girls name. Same exact name. Crazy stuff that any parent could start their children at square -3 upon being born.
