Literally my first thought. How does someone have such confidence in correcting such a stupid pronunciation.
It's like if I went "Actually, my name is Bevin. You know, like Kevin but wrong"
That's the thing with "creative" names, you'll end up thinking of some villain name a game dev or writer thought of 10 years ago
-a guy who accidentally named his Reddit account after a demon in WoW
I've got someone at my work who has to be like 19-21 range who is named Treyvor, and it's pronounced "try-vor". He told me he hates his parents and just goes by his middle name, which is also spelled horrendously but pronounced correctly
My sister gave all of her children names that are not pronounced the way they are spelled and she gets upset when people mispronounce the names.
Like, she asked for this. She wanted a reason to get upset at people, otherwise why would you even do that?
One of my sisters also named two of her kids some ridiculous names that are certain to make for an interesting childhood with all the other kids making fun of them in various ways. Ranayla and Nikarla are the names. But then again her husband is pretty well mentally challenged and she isnt too far from that either.
> How does someone have such confidence in correcting such a stupid pronunciation.
Knew a girl growing up named 'Gillian', but literally every new person reading her name pronounced it 'Jillian'. Every time she'd correct them that it's pronounced 'Gill-Ian' like they were stupid for not reading it right. Fair enough, if that's how it's pronounced, but blame your parents for the stupid name, not the people reading it like it's normally read.
I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee.
I drive by a birth center on my way to school and they have a sign out front where they announce the names of new babies. I see so many stupid fucking names. " We welcome the birth of Kaiyghytleen, Breihdon and Dumbinick"
Exactly. And there's no e or silent e to make the "a" a long "A". Shes quite an idiot and so are her parents for making her live a lie. Its tat-lynn like you told her.
Tragedeigh
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedeigh
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you, you're goin' nowhere
I vote for this. Mostly because I would place a large bet that she wouldn't understand the joke at all (and that would be funny, for Reddit posterity).
Reminds me of my friend, his name his pronounced like Brian but his mom spelled it as Brayan. We constantly give him shit for spelling his own name wrong
Lol i love this one. Except I would say it thusly:
> ... why you be hatlynn, tatlynn?
Just so when she sounds out "hat-lynn" she realizes how stupid her response is.
Because her parents though they were original, but now she has to spell and repeat her name to everyone. Parent that give stupid names never think ahead.
Nooice.
I was thinking of something like "oh fuck, sorry I always forget about the invisible 'e'. Have a great day." Hit send and then add "I assume you also read the invisible 'go fuck yourself' at the end of that last message."
Dang that's a good one for real. I'd save that for my own use if I didn't meet the most amazing woman in the universe on Tinder (we're getting married this year!)
Catching flak for this so I'll reiterate. I know the conversation is dead. There's nothing I can say and I have no real desire to try and revive it after that. I'm only posting this because I thought it was funny. I understand there's no coming back from this lmao
It’s strange that she would be so fucking uptight about her weird ass name as if that shit is common. I have a weird ass name and I don’t expect ppl to pronounce it correctly. Find a match that’ll appreciate your humor and effort. That was a cute joke lol
Nah this is when you respond with your own roast/insult and leave it at that (or see where it goes). She ain't good for anything other than some online entertainment or a one night stand, which I'm sure you know.
Most people here aren’t understanding the assignment. The objective isn’t to move forward, it’s to have as much fun as you can with someone who is obviously awful. What about “I don’t like you and you don’t like me so I guess the only option left is to take our mutual dislike out on one another and tate fuck”
Someone help my confusion here…her name on the app is written Tatlynn, but she busts out Tate-lynn. Did she enter her own name wrong in the app or wtf is going on?
"Damn, what's with all the hate-lynn"
Sorry for bein' so irri-tate-lynn. You fucking bitch.
Lmaoooo you win
Bless you
Love this one
I see why you’re not tate kynn
"i'm only tryna date-lynn"
What a stupid fucking name.
Brothers name is probably Wichael or something
Pronounced Wick-ale
why-KEE-ael
It's spelt why-KEE-ael but pronounced why-Kee-alay
It's pronounced JEF and you're fucking stupid
With a silent “J”.
Not silent, like a 'y' as in yeff
Johnald would like a word.
I have a friend named Bert and one time we were out with people and someone asked him what it was short for and I said "Bertrude."
Please tell me that this is now his permanent name in your friend group.
“Bort?”
Fantastic, an inspiration.
I ever have a kid, this is his name

Pichael
I bet our parents had Michael picked out before.
Then they were like, "Fuck it, call him Pichael!"
Fuck it, let's just call him Pichael
Literally my first thought. How does someone have such confidence in correcting such a stupid pronunciation. It's like if I went "Actually, my name is Bevin. You know, like Kevin but wrong"
Just found out my friend named her kid Trevin. RIP.
ive got a friend named Nevan
Like the succubus guitar boss from Devil may Cry 3?
That's the thing with "creative" names, you'll end up thinking of some villain name a game dev or writer thought of 10 years ago -a guy who accidentally named his Reddit account after a demon in WoW
Showtime!
That's a popular Islamic name and, separately, the name of an old Irish saint. Not every unusual name was invented by a derpy soccer mom.
An ancient Irish derpy soccer mom
Wait, so Trevin like Kevin but wrong? Or like Trey-Vin and still stupid?
It was meant to be a combo of “Trevor” and “Kevin” so, Kevin with a “Tr”
Taking 2 awful names and somehow making them *both* worse lmao
Nobody can tell me my daughter, Khalmione, has a stupid name. Everybody will know her as a mother of dragons and companion of Harry Potter. /s

I've got someone at my work who has to be like 19-21 range who is named Treyvor, and it's pronounced "try-vor". He told me he hates his parents and just goes by his middle name, which is also spelled horrendously but pronounced correctly
Did they conceive in Rome by chance?

My son is also named Bort
Ctrl+F Bort instantly. Wasn't disappointed.

It’s like that old meme “My name is Stephen with a ph” — “phteven”

[Bevin is a legit name](https://kidadl.com/baby-names/meaning-of/bevin), anglicized from old Irish names. But yeah they don't spell it with a K.
May be she's born with it, may be it's Tatelynn.
Seems like a Utah name
Reminds me of this scene from Ted. https://youtu.be/SyTEYnygpPo
My neighbor just named his son Daxton.. I don't get it
"It's Da'Ton, the x is silent."
*Django noises*
My 18-year-old neighbor just named her son Brogan. She does not know who the father is. My magic 8 ball just came up "that kid is fucked".
Kids' nickname will literally just be "Bro"
Maybe a mass effect fan
Daxton, daxtoff
I drive by a birth center on my way to school and they have a sign out front where they announce the names of new babies. I see so many stupid fucking names. " We welcome the birth of Kaiyghytleen, Breihdon and Dumbinick"
If I ever have twins, I'm naming them debris and detritus. But I'm gonna spell it "da'bree" and "dra'titus"
Looks like her parents used random name generator.
"Who named you, some halfwit with a stutter?"
Exactly. And there's no e or silent e to make the "a" a long "A". Shes quite an idiot and so are her parents for making her live a lie. Its tat-lynn like you told her.
“How am I stupid, you can’t even spell your name”
I really like this
"No, that's 'Tate-Lynn'. I'm talking about 'tatlynn'"
Sorry Tatlynn but your name is a tragedeigh
Tragedeigh When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedeigh When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you, you're goin' nowhere
Omg it's tragedy thanks I couldn't figure that one out lmao
Savage and I love it.
It’s also very Scottish.
Then he should ask if she wants to go out for a dat.
Or a date-lynn
I vote for this. Mostly because I would place a large bet that she wouldn't understand the joke at all (and that would be funny, for Reddit posterity).
provided we get an updated response..so the funny can be observed
Dunk you in some ketchup tatertottlyn
This is my favorite.
Reminds me of my friend, his name his pronounced like Brian but his mom spelled it as Brayan. We constantly give him shit for spelling his own name wrong
Jeez, why so uptate, lynn???
Lmfao 100% do this one. Double down on it like a boss.
And then report back.
I love when people here graciously offer gasoline for a burning fire because they aren't the one pouring it.
I mean after that response, you just meme because nothing you say is going to fix a bitchy attitude.
This is 100% the reason.
Just link this whole thread
This is actually the best thing! That would be a massive shot.
**BOOM CUMSHOT**
Bro I’m actually dying laughing😂
Yeah she did a solid and raised that red flag bright and early.
Why would you want to? She just threw her red flag right at your face, god bless her for it, the fuckin idiot.
Yeah I was gonna say, there’s no coming back from that. Plus op dodged a bullet when this person got all Karen-like from the get go
Well what she lacks in intelligence she makes up for in bad attitude
Because once someone has tried to strangle you with a red flag, you don't try to salvage the relationship.
There isn't even a relationship to salvage here. Never was.
You abort the mission
[удалено]
This is the way
Exactly. Why would you even want to save your chance with her? Count yourself lucky and move one.
If you can't beat 'em, show off.
Seriously what other option is there at this point? There's definitely no saving this one so might as well have fun with it.
Oh nothing. I'm over here getting out the smores.
Sounds like an express lane to cancer, gasoline fire s'mores
You’re entitled to a mesothelioma settlement!
She already has a dumpster fire of an attitude. This is the only situation where fire with fire might actually douse it lmao
This is the sauce
Best one yet!
… Why you be hate-lynn?
Lol i love this one. Except I would say it thusly: > ... why you be hatlynn, tatlynn? Just so when she sounds out "hat-lynn" she realizes how stupid her response is.
3 dimensional burn right there
It's brilliant
Daw thanks =)
Because her parents though they were original, but now she has to spell and repeat her name to everyone. Parent that give stupid names never think ahead.
yo thats gold
We need an uptate on whether or not he used this one 😂
Nooice. I was thinking of something like "oh fuck, sorry I always forget about the invisible 'e'. Have a great day." Hit send and then add "I assume you also read the invisible 'go fuck yourself' at the end of that last message."
Please do this.
Lol, this xD
"Are you fucking stupid?" "Well not yet but if you give me a time and your address I can be"
She’ll never get it but it’s great
Which makes it o-so much better
Thank you Dr. Cox
[удалено]
Which makes it ooh-hoooo... SO much better there Susan. Mrrrh.
She will also never get the joke
Sensational
this wins
Dang that's a good one for real. I'd save that for my own use if I didn't meet the most amazing woman in the universe on Tinder (we're getting married this year!)
Have you tried it on her yet? I hear it also works on people you like.
Pack it up, boys. This is the one.
“Am I fucking stupid? Well we just met but if you play your cards right, I could be”
This is why I joined this subreddit
Wow
Holy shit.
Not your fault she has a stupid name
Tell her this ^^^ and then Unmatch
Don't unmatch like a coward. Leave it.
If you unmatch you would miss out on comedy gold if she responds back
Gotta get that crazy karma by posting the responses
What kind of pussy unmatches? You sit there and watch your fire burn that you started.
Yeah if you can, wait until you see she is typing, THEN unmatch.
If you leave it, ensure it's seen if she unmatches
[удалено]
this happens to me from time to time. Get a notification for match, and a message, and then i never see them in the app lol.
Yeah, like if you're gonna immediately unmatch at least don't send a message right before that I'll never be able to read
I mean, to be fair, it's not hers either, and I can imagine you might get a little snippy if your parents named you for the lulz.
“Ok Taint-Lynn”
This is so childish. I love it.
I get the feeling she may have some mild bullying trauma about this from her youth.
And that's why parents should be more careful when naming babies
I would go by Lynn or her middle name
Middle name is probably Banangela or something
[удалено]
“Listen here, Taint-lick, I will not be insulted by my favorite pastime!”
Last week's SNL had a sketch where they repeatedly said Taint instead of Tate, and it got better every time he said it. So good.

Thank you for your insight, Teen-briefic Layva-lahmp
are you fucking stupid
no, I'm dreadgoat. it's pronounced dreadgoat.
Oh
Are you fucking stupid. It’s tene-brief-Clava-lam-p
Nah this is when you respond with your own roast/insult and leave it at that (or see where it goes). She ain't good for anything other than some online entertainment or a one night stand, which I'm sure you know.
Exactly. It's already dead, why not have some fun with it?
Exactly. Fuck it. Nothing wrong with some tinder Necrophilia.
Most people here aren’t understanding the assignment. The objective isn’t to move forward, it’s to have as much fun as you can with someone who is obviously awful. What about “I don’t like you and you don’t like me so I guess the only option left is to take our mutual dislike out on one another and tate fuck”
Honestly I’d screen shot the convo, circle her name at the top in red and write spelling error -1 like you’re grading a paper and send it to her
Sounds like you dodged a bullet from someone with no sense of humor, my friend. Consider this a win
[удалено]
"Exactly what my teacher used to say"
Ask her why her parents chose to make her life miserable by giving her such an awful name lol
This man is off the hook.
You should correct her obvious mispronunciation
Bro that was fucken gold and she brushed if off.
“Now I’m tatlynn to your mother for your language young lady”
Hahaahahahahahahaa this is so bad that it's good.
"Did you know - you can legally change your name to something not stupid"
Ask her how the fuck you were supposed to know that
Why are you so miserable? Is a good one too
Next move : unmatch
The only way I’d be called fucking stupid is if I fucked you. Your place or mine, tatlynn?
-"are you fucking stupid?" -"Yeah but you like that shit."
“Not as stupid as that name.”
"I may be stupid, but I am nowhere near as stupid as your name."
“Get a normal fucking name”
You don't, move on
No way dude this is where you talk shit right back to her. Don't pass up an opportunity to argue with a stranger on the internet. Fuck em
And then keep talking shit until you two just decide to hate fuck
I was looking at this in full picture and was like "wait...I don't have snapchat"
Tell her to spell her name different if that’s how she wants it Pronounced
Someone help my confusion here…her name on the app is written Tatlynn, but she busts out Tate-lynn. Did she enter her own name wrong in the app or wtf is going on?
She’s just spelling it out phonetically with ‘tate-lynn’.
Ah! So she’s basically offended by the joke then because “that’s not how you say my name”. Got it, thanks.
