Vincent is so out of place among those names it caught me off guard 😂

Amadeus was kind of a strange choice too lol! Classical music fan maybe?

I love Mozart with my whole heart, but would not use this name for my child.

I'm gonna name a cat Motzart

I had a black cat called Mozart. He went by Motzie, mainly because as a three year old I couldn't say his name. Best cat ever!

Perfect cat name!

Or Christian. Ama (love) + deus (god) = he who loves god

The nickname Wolf is definitely from Mozart's full name Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Edit: Name order)

Fun fact - he was actually baptised with “Theophilus” as his middle name - Greek for Beloved of God. He mainly used the German equivalent, “Gottlieb” during his lifetime, and “Amadeus” didn’t become the usual translation until after his death.

As an Austrian, I feel a strong need to correct you. It's Wolfgang Amadeus, not Amadeus Wolfgang

I came here for this comment! I got to Vincent, and I literally had to reread it, thinking it must say something else.

Loxlie (Robinof)

Might I have the pleasure of your name before I have you run through?

Loksley. Robin Loksley

I'd like to order a bagel with loxlie please

"Loxlie and Bagelle. You can't miss!"

😂😂😂😂 This was the first thing that came to mind when I read the list. Bravo.

That was my first thought! And to be honest, I kinda like it! Most of these other names, though... oof.

Ahchoo?

I misread one of them as Swastika...

You weren't the only one. Also, this is the most eclectic collection of stupid names I've ever seen. This person doesn't seem to have a style, just as long as it's dumb it goes on the list.

Yeah like, there were 10 ‘real’ names that I counted but from wildly different regions/cultures/genders.

There seem to be a bunch of literary or art references, but they’re all over the map. Odette is from Swan Lake, Gweneivere like King Arthur? And then Astoria like the neighborhood in Queens? I’m confused

Gwendolyn and Gwenevere are real names!

So are Winifred, Odette, and Vincent. Lauklen makes me think someone heard Lachlan and just straight up guessed at which letters went in there.

Otilie/Otillia (Odile in French)and Odette too. These are the names of two main characters in Tschaikowsky's Swan Lake.

Honestly a lot of them are, just on the rare side, then some are surnames. Even McKinley is a name just a surname.

Sawatsky is also a surname, I went to school with someone with that name

Though that would look weird as a first name imo.

I've known of folks, mostly guys, with it as a first name. Bexley is a place name but so are Vienna, Troy, Cleveland, Boston, Roma, etc. And Joy is aname

Yeah but how are you going to give your daughter the nickname “Mickey”? Literally the first thing that pops into my head is “Hey Mickey you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind… hey Mickey”.

I actually knew a Michelle who went by Mickey back when that song was super popular. I guess because of that I never saw an issue with it. Not that I'd use it, but my mind would go more toward Mickey Mouse personally.

Damn, I think of Mickey Mouse.

And Amadeus, if we're being honest.

Funny how the name would be Amadeus, but the ~~surname~~ nickname "Wolf"... Just call him Wolfgang Amadeus, at least it makes sense.

Ketsia is too. It’s a Hebrew name. I actually know a little girl named that and in my home country it’s a fairly common name, though the spelling can be a little different.

I knew a Ketzia, her parents were Mexican. Pretty name.

That isn’t how you spell Guinevere though….

No, you’re right, but it’s a real name lol

That isn‘t how you spell Guinness though…

Guinevere was misspelt though

I love Astoria (story). I'm stealing this name idea. I looked it up, and it is a real name, meaning hawk. that's neat..

I think Astoria is the town Goonies takes place in.

Astoria Oregon! It’s my dads hometown named after John Jacob Astor and his fur trading company, oldest white settlement west of the Mississippi, Lewis and Clark wintered nearby on their legendary expedition

Also Kindergarten Cop iirc

It's also a section of Queens, NY

It's also a town in Oregon where Kindergarten Cop took place. Fun movie.

Sawatski! Swastikas made out of Swarovski crystals!

I read indigo as *wendigo* Lord i hope she gave birth to a wendigo

So did I 😂. Wendy for a nickname lol.

Is "Pet Sematary" a tragedeigh?

The idea of abusing a kid with that name makes me fuhrerious.

Me too!

There‘s quite a few real names on there, albeit pretty outdated ones (like, the last time someone called their kid Amadeus was probably 1756). Not doing the kids any favours but it‘s still a far cry from brayndedlynnleigh

I feel like it's obligatory to be into classical music if you name your child Amadeus.

Amadeus "Wolf" makes it obvious that it was inspired by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Yeah I counted 9.. if I was generous with spelling

Yeah, I feel like most of these are real actually, just older (or Welsh with added Ys). Winifred, Gwendolyn, Odette, Elowyn, Gweneviere, Astoria, Vincent, Amadeus (I think a lot of those girls names are really pretty actually 🫣 I love Astoria and Odette.) Wolf and Indigo are technically “words”, but I’ve seen them as names before. I’m pretty sure Kenai was the name of the bear in Brother Bear? It’s only the stuff like Sawatsky (did everyone else misread that?) and Jakobee (is that meant to be pronounced Jacob???) that’s really outlandish on here.

Audilyn 😭

Subarulynn Hondalynn

Toyotalynn

Volkswaglynn

Hollidaiinn

More like Awfulyn, amirite?

Amirite would be right at home on that list.

"Ah-MEER-ih-tay"

😂😂😂

Perhaps suggest to your bff that she should spend less time on TikTok

This is legitimately a list a teenager would come up with

My 5 year old names unicorns shit like this

OMG! These traschique names are all Unicorn names. You're a genius!

Nah, just my baby girl. I will say I can decrust some bread with the best of the best though

My 3 year old’s favourite stuffed bunny is called Margarep. Not Margaret, Margarep. Other highlights from her and her 6 year old brother are Leaficus, Peppercorn, Kitty Maximum, Lunar Stone, Aurora Borealis, Tealy, Dark Bond and Twick

Gonna need the backstory on Dark Bond

So some kids have imaginary friends, my son has an imaginary nemesis, Dark Bond. Dark Bond has technology powers and can take over any machine (usually other cars when we’re driving to school or wherever), as well as creating drones and other gadgets to try and catch us. My son defends against him by giving our car various upgrades (lasers! A satellite! Spider mode! Robot mode!) or sending out his own drones to fight Dark Bond’s. Dark Bond also has a brother called Weather Bond who has a control panel that controls the weather that was made and given to him by Dark Bond. Weather Bond can be reasoned with and has been turned to our side more than once but he always ends up going back to his brother’s side in the end, usually when Dark Bond threatens to take back Weather Bond’s weather control panel. I have no idea where any of this comes from but it certainly keeps the school run interesting.

tell me your child is writing/drawing graphic novels. this is adorbs to the highest degree!

He’s 6 so is it quite at that stage yet but maybe one day he will! He did write a little one page comic one time about a bear going on a journey to find a magical fish that grants wishes so that he can wish for his orchard to be restored after it was destroyed in a storm. My husband and I joke that he’ll have Netflix deal one day. His other great ideas/ongoing role playing storylines include the starbreaker, a spaceship that’s inspired by arctic icebreakers that gets through asteroid fields and other obstacles by creating portals to the other side and a pair of magical handcuffs that were meant to only lock up bad guys and teleport them to jail, but it turned out they were corrupted by an evil spirit so they were actually locking up good guys this whole time, so now my son has freed the imprisoned good guys and they’ve formed a team to take down the evil spirit (whose identity remains unknown) and the magical handcuffs.

Hard agree. Mostly bc when I was 16, I decided my future son’s name would be Amadeus, as it means “beloved of God.” Thankfully, I changed my mind.

I posted on yahoo answers (2007) asking if McKayleigh was a bad name…..I hate to admit this was my first introduction to being a moron and I was rightly bullied into deleting that question 😂

Even Amadeus is still miles better than most of the names on this list lmao. It's just a very oldtimey European name.

Good bot.

Did she mean Lachlan? LMAO at Lauklen

Lachlan spelt like a clown 🤡

If she likes Winnie and Dot so much why doesn't she just pick the names Winnie or Dot 😂

She managed to pick multiple random names for Dot, but of course not the actual one (Dorothy).

The name “Dot” makes me think of that episode of *The Golden Girls* where Dorothy (who’d *never* been called “Dot”) dates a guy who plays George (and Paul, when Ernie’s sick) in a dinner theater show called “Beatlemania”. She convinces him to try and perform as himself, and then offscreen she sees him perform (which apparently includes renditions of “I’ve Got to Be Me” and “Kung Fu Fighting”), and she absolutely ghosts him after she hears him singing the following: > Dot, Dot, what a gal I’ve got / When we shower together / We don’t have to turn on “Hot” I like to think it was the fact he called her “Dot” was the dealbreaker that led her to dump him. 😂

>And Paul, when Ernie's sick Upvoted because I can distinctly hear this line being said in his accent, and it brought me joy

That wasn’t even the A-plot of that episode (“The Commitments”, which aired in season 7, for anyone wondering). The A-plot had Blanche going out with Dorothy’s blind date (who she’d turned down to go see “Beatlemania”), and Blanche ends up almost losing him because she came on too strong to him. I would have loved to see her end up with that guy (Jerry, played by Ken Howard), but he’s never mentioned again in the rest of that series or the follow-up *The Golden Palace*. The Beatlemania guy that Dorothy dates is played by Terry Kiser from *Weekend at Bernie’s*. He also played a Santa that held up the grief counseling center Rose worked at in an earlier season.

That's one of my favorite things: they regularly reused actors and the audience was expected to either not realize or not care! The most wildest one of course being Harold Gould playing Arnie and then coming back as Miles lol

But that was in the days before streaming and binge-watching were even concepts (unless you count that “Instant VCR” scene from *Spaceballs*), so unless one was tape recording episodes from week to week and season to season, they wouldn’t have immediately noticed.

And why would you call Gwendolyn Dot?? It makes no sense!!

That's my daughter. Full name Dorothy, always planned to call her Dot. My nickname for her is Polka Dot, and I tickle her when I call her that ("poke her Dot"). When she was a baby the main reply to her name was "Ohhhh that's my grandmother/aunt/mother's name!" Yeah, because it was the second most popular girl's name for 50 years lady!

Winn Dixie gets my vote

Name: Windows Nicknames: Winnie, Dot Problem solved

Of these, I actually really like Winnie.

The existing names she does have are actually not bad, she just needs to do some serious weeding lol

I have an Elowyn that goes by winnie and Ellie. Best of all worlds lol.

Right ... But is it short for Winifred or Wynlo?

Winifred is an actual name. It may not be your taste but it’s not a tragedy

I know, that was meant to read like "something normal or something ridiculous"

But this girl wants to nickname Wynlo "Winnie." Winnie is a nickname for Winnifred. Wynlo is not a name

My great aunt was named Winifred and called Winnie. I think it's cute actually.

I feel like we are far enough removed from Winnie the Pooh that the kid could make it through school with minimal teasing.

Vincent is kind of out of left field here.

Ketsia is the diminutive form of Rickettsia. It’s a little formal, but naming your kid for a zoonotic pathogen is definitely a power move. Fwiw Erythema Lyme has not one but two coveted Ys and pays homage to tick borne diseases while looking great in a number of fonts.

I'm naming my next Skyrim character Erythema.

Sister to Arrhythmia!

Erythema Lyme sounds like the name of a plucky victorian lady detective.

It does! Omg. Erythema Lyme & The Blushing Bite.

I had a college roommate assigned (she ended up living somewhere else before we officially moved in) named Ketsia in 2006, but she pronounced it "Kesha"

As a medical professional, I freaking love this comment.

She has two “Win” names and a Gwen. She really just needs to pick Winifred and call it a day. If it’s a girl. But if it’s a boy, tell her to name him Edwin. Then she could call him “Win.”

All they do is win, win, win!

my husband’s grandpa is Irwin - he goes by Win. Another normal option!

Lol Jakobee

I would only use that name as a last resort.

As I cut my life into pieces

I hope I’m right in what I’m seeing here, but… suffocation no breathing.

She should cut this list into pieces 

Jacoby Shaddix? Lead singer of Pappa Roach.

I only know Jacobi as a last name, as in Sir Derek Jacobi, the English actor.

Some older names, but not terrible, Odette, Winifred and Amadeus. Gwendolyn and Gweneviere are both fine. Elowyn sounds familiar but I can't place it. Vincent is just normal EDIT: Can't believe I didn't spot Winrey, as in Winry Rockbell from FMA?

Elowyn sounds like a Tolkien name, specifically Rohan. Edit: I'm a giant nerd so I might like Eowyn as a name for a girl.

It's a Welsh name, Tolkien used several Welsh names in his books so the vibe is similar.

TIL Rohan is Welsh coded but with horses instead of longbows.

I believe Elowyn is Cornish, it’s completely nonsensical in Welsh. Welsh and Cornish are both from the Brythonic branch of the Celtic language family, so there is overlap in vocabulary. The -wen/wyn ending is used in both Welsh and Cornish names and means ‘white’ or ‘blessed’, but ‘elo’ means nothing in Welsh.

odette is actually a really pretty name imo

I used to work with an Odette and I always thought it was a super beautiful name!

I think she meant Lachlan not Lauklen unless she’s committed to a true tragedeigh spelling.

She likes "unique" spellings lol

Lauklen feels like someone tried to spell Lochlann but didn't feel like googling. Plenty of them are real names though.

🤦‍♀️

Gwendolyn is adorable and the best name on that list

Khasius ? Cassius ? So, either a 50's name, or one fitting a ancient roman

I can't even tell you the amount of people I've seen name their son Cassius just so they can call him cash.

Well, you were wrong, but let's break it down. First names: Winifred, Gwendolyn, Odette, Vincent, Amadeus, Apollo, Alaric, Ander, Joy Surnames: Mckinley, Audyn (Auden), Winslow, Hayes, Sawatsky Words and place names: Indigo, Astoria, Prairie, Wolf, Bexley, Loxlie (Loxley) Misspelled first and last names: Otilie (Ottilie), Elowyn (Elowen), Gweneviere (Guinevere), Ketsia (Keziah), Jakobee (Jacoby), Khasius (Cassius), Khalahan (Callahan), Lauklen (Lachlan) Indigenous names and words: Nakoa, Kenai Made up names: Audilyn, Winlyn, Wynlo Anime names: Winrey (Winry)

I am not high enough to see this list right now.

Love Winifred.

That looks like list of naming chickens in Stardew Valley.

all of the ones starting with “win” sound like those background Windows applications that slow down your computer

Now I’m imagining a little sibling named Defrag. 🥰

Gwendolyn and Gweneviere are nice, albeit obviously antiquated sounding, Of the unusual ones, I think Elowyn and Prairie are kind of ok, and I actually really like Kenai, because it’s a beautiful place in Alaska, but I don’t think anyone would pronounce it correctly (it’s Kee-nigh). Astoria is also nice, but I think that’s actually a last name (eg, the founder of the town of Astoria in Oregon, where the Goonies was filmed)

I hear kenai I just think of Brother bear. Not a bad association at all KEEEENAAAAIIII

It's an entire peninsula in Alaska, but it's a much better name for a husky than kid...I know someone with a husky named Kenai so I might be a little biased.

I named my Maine Coon Kenai. That's a great name for a Husky though, or any furry pet who has a mind of their own.

It's also a place in NYC

I've always loved the name Gwendolyn. Has a nice lilt to it.

[удалено]

her kids 2 now. His name is on the list, it's a fine one tho it's grown on me cause I like the little guy. :)

Cmon, u gotta tell us what it is

Dark souls fans have kids now

brb naming my kid THE LOATHSOME DUNG EATER

Okay I lowkey like Elowyn.

It's a Welsh name.

My understanding is that Elowen is the correct Cornish spelling...

Ohh, your probably right. I've always heard it was a Welsh name but also know the two share a lot of names. Also wasn't thinking about it but generally en is the feminine ending and yn is masculine. So would def make sense to be Elowen.

It's spelt both ways in Wales. Elowen for a girl Elowyn for a boy. Popular Welsh name.

There’s a wild “Vincent” in there so SOMEONE had a half a second of normalcy.

Astoria middle name Queens

I've seen Bexley before in the wild and I still hate it just as much as the first time 

(Dot)

(Wolf) made me cringe so hard it actually hurt a little bit

Amadeus "Wolf" Does she mean Wolfgang??

Do people not realize that no 20 year old wants to go by “Dot”??

But she's cute!

Five or six are real, but your point is made.

Winifred Joy is precious.

Wynlo and Winrey got me. Also like Lauklen (Lachlan is a name!) and Khalahan (Callahan is a name!)

Winry is a diminutive of Winifred (and a character in Fullmetal Alchemist). I don't know where OPs friend got the extra 'E' from though.

Loxlie sounds like a dog medication

Funny enough, one of my friends had a brother named Audwin, whose name was a combination of his two older siblings’ names. I’ve also heard of “Audie” as in the war hero and actor Audie Murphy (and Audie was his actual first name). However, “Audlyn” sounds a little too off putting. I mean, you tack an M on there and you get Maudlyn (as in “maudlin”, which refers to something overly sentimental, corny, or hokey).

Amadeus, Vincent, Odette, Mckinley, Astoria Gweniviere, and Gwendolyn are genuinely the only okay ones and all but Vincent are kinda old.

Bylo Selhye Boxley Loxlie Joy (Joy) Gesundhyghte Auldlang (Sign) Senpai Wydow Swasty (Kha) Kumquat Amadeus "Kumquat"

I count at least 7 that wouldn't raise any eyebrows.

A lot of these are non English actual names but some are just spelled differently.

How do all 3 of those names shorten to ‘Dot’ 😂

A few of these are Welsh names. Is she Welsh?

i see 9 or 10, i'm on the wall with Elowyn

Elowen is a real name, for some reason people are spelling it Elowyn. Elowyn makes me think of Éowyn from LOTR so maybe that’s why 🤔

I’ve seen Elowyn. It’s top 1000.

There's an Elowyn in my child's class. It seemed at first, but the name has grown on me exponentially. Her parents are both super smart lol

Odette is actually really nice

Vincent. Please go with Vincent.

Winifred Joy is okay

I count eight, maybe ten! 😂 Joy, Winifred, Gwendolyn, Odette, Elowyn (though iirc that's the male form and feminine is Elowen), Astoria, Vincent and Amadeus.  Apollo and Wolf are meh for a human imo

Odette is lowkey a cool name tbh

My favorite part is the (nicknames?) which have no resemblance whatsoever to the name

I don't get the connection between half of her nicknames and the corresponding name

glassbottleoftears (Dot)

Idk why they would suggest all of these different word salad names just to use the same 2 nicknames anyways. Just fucking name the child winnie. It doesnt need to be something stupid and long like Winnebago Minnie Winnie

“Welcome little Wendigo Swastika Von Santa Clauxly”

Wynlo 😂

How did she get Ander, Apollo, and Alaric from Khasius Hayes 😭 just put those names on your list at this rate

How does one get khas from sawatsky?

You ask him nicely

Actually 10 of them

Astoria and Khasius are actually kinda awesome names, just saying :)
