Oh wow, I didnt realize people get angry over names! Read some more on this Reddit thread. Dont
go punching people in the face, though. That might be illegal.
Shutterstock
1. Heaven is a place on Earth
Nevaeh. Yes I understand it is heaven spelled backwards, and no I dont give a fuck.
2. It looks cute
Anything spelled irregularly for no reason Ex: Eryka..
3. What
My friends named their sons Atreyu Vonn Royal and Pharroh Zorran Sphere. I call them
both Steve in protest.
4. Im Special!
Special
I shit you not.
5. Princess Johnson, is there a Princess Johnson present?
Princess. Seriously, what in the fuck. I dont understand how anybody could think that
princess is a good name.
6. #Baby
I heard a story a few months ago that parents named their baby girl Hashtag.
Fuck that.
7. Stop this now
I once knew of a goth girl who had a shit ton of tattoos and did the whole black boots
and spiked belts, and she had a shit ton of piercings and shit. She named her kid Chaos.
8. It exudes douche
Anything ending in -den. Braden, Kayden, Jayden, fucking-punch-you-in-the-faceden.
9. The future looks grim
I think in the future Ill be the weird parent because I named my son Steve or John or
something while all their schoolmates are named Whatter or Konfidenze.
10. Where are they now?
I know twins named Elite and Alpha.
No, really.
11. He went there
North West
12. R-evolver
My moms cousin named her son Evol. As in love backwards. Hell despise her forever.
13. Not LARP?
I knew a dude named Yarp. It was Pray spelled backwards.
14. GTFO here, seriously?
I swear to God I heard a woman yell out at her little boy at the park one time, Spatula!
Get back over here!
Also, my MIL is a pediatric nurse and a few years ago had a 6 month old baby girl as her
patient named VaGina. But its okay because the G is capitalized and its pronounced
Vah-GEE-nah.
15. Actually, he is
LCarpetron Dookmarriot hell of a football player though.
16. Im tickled pink
Lady who works at Sams by my house is named Lasagna. I did a double take and she got
pissed. YOUR NAME IS LASAGNA, HOW IS THAT MY FAULT?
17. The universe is their oyster
Galaxy.
And I just feel so bad for the child because there are only two professions she can have
with that name: Astronomer or Prostitute.
18. Almost as good as Sharkeesha
Shequilya. Per the mother, it was pronounced she-kill-ya.
19. Shell hear that joke for ages
I went to camp with a girl whose name was Unique. She was cool, but I just know shell
have a life full of comments like Well, at least your name is unique,
hahahahahaHAHAHRHRHRHHRHHR
20. I had a terrible experience with Sambuca
Sambuca. Just Just dont.
21. Holy shit
Holy Angel. A guy my dad worked with in India called his first born daughter this. He
was a Christian and wanted something western sounding.
His second daughter was called Alien.
22. That explanation tho
Just recently I overheard a man telling a couple that his daughters name was Ily (eye-
lee). He proceeded to tell the couple that she was named after the text acronym ily for I
Love You.
23. People, just stop
I know some girl whos name is Heaven and her middle name is Ly. Heaven Ly
24. Say what?
I walk in the courts and have to issue claims all day, so I see a whole assortment of names
there, but there was one that really stuck out to me. Her name was Comfort.
25. Frequently misspelled words
Theres one in our community named Dutchess. What a fucktard for misspelling
Duchess.
26. Like Brandibelle
Anything where the parent squished two names together. Oh but both names were so
pretty we couldnt choose.
27. Heroines, they were not
My stupid (former) friend had a baby with a fellow heroin addict, whom they named Kilo
(yup.) This guy then had another baby with a chick and they named the little girl
Aristotle.
A form of measurement, mostly used in reference to large amounts of drugs in my
country (US) and a male philosopher for a girl. Good thing they are now both being
raised by their grandmas as they were sired by heroin addicts who have quickly forgotten
they ever had kids.
28. So many questions
Rainbow. Holly Madisons baby. Seriously, why?
29. Not you Germans too!
I live in a German-speaking country and sincerely feel bad for kids living with names like
Ashley-Sharmaine Fritzberger , Aaliyah-Phoebe Mllermeierich or Caydence-Melody
Pfefferhausen. Poor, poor kids.
30. This is a name???
I dont even care that max one person will see this. Someone needs to know about Sha-
purple.
31. I dont know anymore
Jru. Pronounced Drew. Guy wants his kids names to start withs J. When I told him he was
a jackass he was offended.
32. Are people unable to Google?
Ex friend named her son Arrien. She was aiming for Aryan. His middle name is Nat,
short for Nation. I am not making it up, and its most of the reason she and I are no longer
friends.
33. This made me laugh, like, a lot
Tylor. What the fuck?
34. Wrecked it
Airwrecka.. Pronounced Erica.
35. God, I feel dumb
A guy I used to know named his baby boy Jupiter. The baby had just been born, so every
time I saw him, I felt like I needed to ask him how Jupiter was. I felt like an idiot. I hope
he did, too.
36. She shed her name pretty quick
I went to school with this ginormous girl. She wore combat boots and thick black

Can someone please tell me why there is a picture of a negro punching a white man
wearing a suit in the face for this article? It is not white men naming these kids. Is this just
a statement of the violent nature of negroes? That seems racist. Most of these ill
conceived names come from white trash and negro women. It would be much relevant if it
was the hand of a white person smashing a negro woman's face in because most of
these dumb misspelled names come out of the black community, and cause confusion
and anger in the majority population. Of course this is no problem as everyone is equal
and violence against one group by another is nothing to get alarmed about because we
are all of the same group. If you did get mad, I guess you would also have to get mad
about a negro punching a white person too.

I'm a teacher, and I have noticed that girls named Destiny are ALWAYS trouble. I figured
out that the thing these girls all have in common is that are all suffering from having the
kind of parents who would name a girl Destiny. I figure the drama runs high at home.

Friend of mine worked with newborns. One couple named their baby Pajama (pronounced
PAJ-uhma). My son has a classmate named Beautiful. And remember that red-headed
actress years ago. Her parents wanted to name her Christine but decided jacking up the
spelling was more unique. Khrystyne. Ugh.

Once I was in the checkout line at the supermarket in my home town and the woman in
front of me happened to know the cashier. The cashier said, "Girl, I heard you had
another baby!" The lady confirmed that she recent had a baby girl. The cashier ask what
she named her and the lady said, "Well, I was looking through the J.C. Penny catalog and
I saw the most beautiful name I ever seen. I named her 'Pajama' (pronounced PA-JU-
MA)"
True story.

#1 is my biggest pet peeve. I know 3 people that named their kids Nevaeh. All I want to
do is throw dollar bills at them. Granted, with the way they are being raised, at least one
will actually end up a stripper. I just want to know, with a real name like that, what would
their stripper name be? Ashley?

2 of my daughter's middle names: Marlen, which is my middle name (Marie) and her
father's middle name (Allen) combined, and Lydiane (li-dee-ann) which is my mil's name
(Lydia) combined with my godmother (Diane). I can't say that I hate the combining of
names, because sometimes it works. I also know someone named Candy Beaver.
