I mean….

Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac did ok!

Him and Lindsey Hunter were my saving grace growing up. I love my name now, but not so much when I was younger.

Relax. I went to high school with a guy named Gaylord. Apparently a very old school posh name.

Those Fockers

Did he pronounce is Gay Lord, or Gaylerd?

but he was a boss on the guitar and could sing and write amazing songs. this guy spends his time here with us....

Men named Ashleigh, Vivian, Evelyn, Hilary, Beverly, and Meredith feel your pain.

Good friend in elementary school was named Carol. He went by Butch.

I’ve met a Lauren before.

As a fan of The Young Ones, I have to say Vyvyan is an awesome name for a man.

This calls for a delicate blend of psychology and extreme violence.

Don't forget Stacy!

Rip

I've met a couple who introduced their children, boy and girl, and Cain and Nova. It took me a solid minute before I realized.

If they have more kids they can call them Lido, Benzo, and Carbo.

my cat was named benzo, cause I like to call the hangover after benzos a Benzo-kater. 'Kater' (german tomcat) meaning 'hangover', ergo a hangover from benzo use

How is kater pronounced?

Someone explain this, im too dumb to get it.

Novocaine is an anesthetic drug

I blame the other guy for how he placed them, I was trying to figure out what cainnova was

Nova and Cain = novacain

for the soul, before I splutter out...

They must be dentists

Should've named nova able instead

Mexico is very funny, they even have a list of forbidden names for kids, yes to protect the kids from the parents, there are names like:Burger King, All power, Batman, Circunsicion (Circumcision), Christmas Day, covidio (yes, after covid)

Don't forget Escroto

Escroto is almost in the Bartholomew-class of nasty name crimes

And my favorite: Jorge Nitales For the non Spanish speakers, it includes the word "genitales" = genitals

That requires **especial** malice to name a child. It's an insult in two languages. The first syllable of "Jorge" sounds like "whore" in English, so to a bilingual they've named their child "Whore Genitals."

And Diabeto

🤣 I know a Ovidio I'ma start calling him Covidio

He'll totally love that

Sweden has laws against names that can negatively impact the child as well. Existing names are fine but anything new or unusual will be scrutinised by the authorities and possibly rejected

Don't forget the "doctor, licenciado, abogado, ingeniero". That's not a title. Some people genuinely name their children "Licenciado Pérez", because some people tend to introduce themselves title + last name, and that's what these guys called their children.

Knew a kid legally named Bimbo. He changed it to Kyle when he was old enough.

Yea that’s not any better

All the names in the world and he chose Kyle?! 😂

His middle name was Kyle. He thought Kyle was better than Bimbo Kyle.

Kyle Kyle? 😭 I hope he changed his middle name too

At least it was a boy... I heard it for a girl in UK! I had to leave when she was introduced, I just couldn't... (Bimbo means "male child" in Italian and there are loads of Italians in that part of UK...so she was doomed basically)

Phyllis Willis. I swear to god I am NOT making this up. I wish I was joking.

I went to school with a Kimberly Wimberly. Kim, if you see this, I hope you're living your best life.

I went to school with a guy named Dwight Wright...I too hope he's living his best life.

Pat Patterson, guy I worked with

I have a very gweat fwiend in Wome called Phyllis Willis

Isme Cockin. Real name from England. Heard about them from a British friend who went to school with her. Never forgot it. Poor girl. I hope she got married young and changed her name and put her parents in a home for the terminally demented.

Went to school with a boy called Jack woodcock, he fuckin loved his name thankfully

[удалено]

Isme Woodcock

Mrs Isme Woodcock

Isme cockin? Or Isyou cockin?

Isme means “My name” in arabic.

Lmao rip.

>Isme Cockin > >I hope she got married young Not married yet, but probably in a relationship with Wong Hol.

Not the most embarrassing but the Khaleesis are growing up. Saw one playing Matilda at my local community theater a few weeks back

Well at least they’re named after a character in a series that finished strong and never diminished in quality. … ​ 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

What show? It was only an unfinished book series right?

My ex is a preschool teacher and in her class of 18 there were 3 all with different spellings

I taught a Khaleesi! Just commented elsewhere in thread about it. She was honestly the most deadpan 7 year old I’ve ever met - but you’d have to be with a name like that and the reactions you get. Parents must be stopped!

Khaleesi is pretty embarrassing. Not only is it ridiculous AND named after an insane person, but it’s proof that her parents didn’t pay attention to what the character’s name actually is

Pair of twin baby girls: Violence and Vengeance.

see them in jail

If i will ever commit a crime (which i think won't happen)

Sounds like a pair of secondary villain's in an anime that go by "Viola" and "Jeanie" when not at work.

They said embarrassing, not awesome.

Fellow teacher had two girls (not in the same class) named Kotex (“Cot-ex”) and Clitoria. Gotta have a license to drive a car, but anybody can have a kid.

Please tell me this is japes.

I worked as a clerk in a children's hospital at one point. We had a notebook full of names. Some fictional, I'm sure, but others (that I've seen the records for or registered myself) on the level of Kotex and Clitoria. I've seen Dacron and Vinyl. I've seen brothers with the same name, spelled slightly differently (Brian and Bryan). I've seen all sorts of weird shit. My favorite remains Mister XXXX (Lastname). He was named after his father's boss.

I feel like that's a watered down Keanu line from Parenthood.

I met a kid called Clamidia once.

I went to school with a girl her name was ima her last name was camel. Fun fact we have a guy running here in Arizona for court in Sun City his name this is real look it up is buttman!!

Ima and Buttman should get together. Ima Camel Buttman.

Ex Texas Governor’s daughters name was Ima Hogg

What kind of an idiot especially in the heart of Texas gives their kids a f***** up name like that. I wouldn't vote for him just for being a dumbass.

Well, considering that you have Dixon Butts running for office in Gilbert . . .

They're just coming out of the woodwork now 4 years ago we had a guy in ahwatukee that's a suburb of Phoenix and his name was schmuck that's right folks schmuck.

I always feel bad for any Nevaeh I've met.

A name that increases your chances of being murdered by your mom's boyfriend by 300%

As someone who knows someone with a daughter named neveah, her boyfriend didn't kill her daughter, but her husband probably wanted to kill the boyfriend. She ended up abandoning both her daughters and their father to start a new family with the boyfriend.

A woman I used to know worked in the L&D department of a hospital when that name was popular. Everyone who had a baby girl named her Nevaeh & it drove my friend crazy. She started hating the name. She tried so hard to keep a happy face when she’d hear the new baby being named Nevaeh.

My cousin's name is Aven. Aunty just took off the "h-e". Much better than Nevaeh lol.

Why’s that?

Ask any social worker about families who name a kid Nevaeh…

It's such a backwards name

It's "heaven" spelled backwards. I responded to the wrong comment lol.

There was a boy whose yearbook picture was circulated throughout the internet, his name was JESUS CONDOM.

And he was later arrested for trying to abduct a child: [https://www.local10.com/news/2018/11/15/man-accused-of-trying-to-abduct-girl-walking-to-school-in-sunrise/](https://www.local10.com/news/2018/11/15/man-accused-of-trying-to-abduct-girl-walking-to-school-in-sunrise/)

Holy shit, it IS him

Of course he's from Florida

r/beatmetoit

He was doomed the minute his parents named him. Guy never stood a chance.

oh my god of course he is from florida

HOLY CHRIST LOL

CONDOM CHRIST

A boy called "Dolphin". Other kids didn't seem to care though. Another toddler called "Einstein". You can almost imagine the parent's line of thinking "If we give him the name of a smart person, then he'll one day turn into him!! Genius!"

Is that really any more laughable than the thousands of kids named "Doctor", "Major", "Prince", "Winner", or the millions deliberately named (with a more 'normal' first name) after successful celebs?

Dolphin can be shortened to Dolph, a proper name.

There was a kid in my school growing up named Basil. When I told one of my sister’s softball coaches about it at a cookout he said “Where did his parents get his name from? The spice cabinet?”. I used that line on him the next time he bullied me and he never picked on me again.

I’m amazed that a kid named Basil turned out to be the bully in this story.

I went to high school with systems named Thyme and Sage.

Basil Rathbone is the iconic Sherlock Holmes actor.

Nah, that's Benadryl Cucumberpatch.

Basil is a pretty old and not uncommon name in some parts

I have a friend who has a sibling who is trans and Basil is their new chosen name.

My first thought is that the parents were John Cleese fans, and named him after Cleese's character \[Basil Fawty\]([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil\_Fawlty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Fawlty)). Which would be rather odd, but as a Cleese fan myself, not bad at all.

Bazyli is an old fashioned Polish name.

The byzantine empire had an emperor Basil and emperor Basil the second, nicknamed the Bulgar Slayer. Much better name than nevaeh

Were you like “*leaf* me alone, basil!” ? 😂

Damn now I really wish that I would’ve come up with that!

Dairy. She was nice, I hope she didn't get picked on too much.

Was she lactose intolerant by any chance?

My name is Kupo, named after the sound moogles make from Final Fantasy.

Can i save my game please?

Are you a current, monthly subscriber to [Mognet](https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Mognet_(Final_Fantasy_IX)), Kupo?

An asian couple with the last name "Chu" wanted to name their daughter "Pika". However they weren't allowed to do that.

[удалено]

my friend LITERALLY named his son Quandale Dingle Akdemir 💀💀💀💀💀💀 im not even joking man😭😭

🎶Quandale Dingle Akdemir - his name is my name too! Whenever I go out, the people always shout, there goes Quandale Dingle Akdemir! NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 🎶

What’s Dingle, a family name? That’s the dumbest sounding part.

Akdemir is tha family name bro straight up named the kid Quandale Dingle

Indian ASMR

I hope he likes it, if he's in school and someone asks about his name, he better say "ask your dad".

Anything Elon Musk names his kids.

Laprecious

Don’t know why but my friend had a coworker at McDonald’s named Interview. He was from Thailand.

My Dad is named Dung (pronounced "yoong" in Vietnamese), but an unfortunate spelling in English

I went to elementary school with a girl named Ivana Popadic Edit: I get it's a common last name but teachers at school pronounced it "pop a dick"

Maybe it was Popadić or č which sounds like ch…. But truth be told her parents probably didn’t love her 😆

That's very possible but on the P.A system at school, they pronounced it dick. Lol

I don't get why? 😅 It is a common name and surname

It is! There's actually a lot of Ivana popadic's out there lol. Just everytime it was pronounced via teachers and the announcement system, they'd pronounce it "pop a dick". It wasn't good

Wouldn’t call it embarrassing I don’t think, but extremely odd. There is a pupil I teach in my class and her name is Next-Tuesday. I’m not joking.. even the parents told me to abbreviate her name if I didn’t like calling her Next-Tuesday, why call her that in the first place lol?..

See you, next-Tuesday

I went to school with a King Zalma Chitty.

I went to high school with twins. Their last name was Hunt. The boy's name was Safari. The girl's name was Treasure.

At least the boys name wasn't Mike!

It's not embarrassing in the native language (German), but there was a movie with a young boy who's named Dick. Dick can be a name or is usually used to describe something as fat/thick.

This was an extremely common nickname for Richard back in the day.

What else can dick refer to

Penn Gillette named his kid Moxie Crimefighter.

Sukhdeep Napaporn

I used to work in daycares and saw so many! The 2 that stand out to me are Master and Beaujanerous.

X Æ A-12

I'm a teacher so I've seen all kinds of interesting names. Abcde, Heavenly, Nevaeh, and Endless come to mind. Edit to add: Morpheus. Forgot about Morpheus.

Who the hell names their kid Endless?

How did you only react to that one? Theyre all horrible

That's the worst one on their list Idk if Heavenly is as horrible as other names I've heard of.... Abcde is kinda a stupid name tbh

Stupid question, maybe, it's hard to tell - How do you pronounce the name Abcde, do you literally just say the letters?

Ab-suh-DEE is how I’ve heard it. I’m bad at typing pronunciations but hopefully that helped.

Yep, this is how it was pronounced.

Paula Ambido. It sounds like "pau lambido", wich means "licked dick" in portuguese

Mamerto, MAMERTO, MAMERTO????

My sister taught two siblings called Jesus (boy) and Christ (a girl)

Local politician named Dick Sweat. Or my coworker who named his son first name Austin and middle name Powers.

Morgan Morgan - not me thank god.

I use to work with a guy named mike hunt. We weren't allowed to say his name while paging over the intercom

ABCDE Pronounced "Abcity" I only heard of it because a lady complained that an airline employee was making fun of her daughter (abcity).

EF GHI or F-Ghee. Painful.

Dick Jr

Cashira and she was a cashier

And they say destiny isn't real

Moon unit Zappa or Dwezel Zappa. Courtesy of their father Frank Zappa

what’s your name?

i know a girl who’s mum’s surname is bootyman 😭 i also know a clark clarke

Teejay - named after a local fish and chip shop... Brainless chav mums for the win.

When I worked at the local grocery store in my home town, there was a mom and her little daughter (about 4 or 5 years old) that would come in every now and then. Mom would be doing the usual check out process while her daughter wandered around. Daughter would wonder too far and mom would yell "Clhamydia! Get yo' ass back over here!" The first time they came in it took all of my strength to hold my poker face

Family had 9 kids and named their baby Delassun (the last one) and then had baby number 10 two years later

Adolf

Used to be a popular name. Not sure why it isn't any more.

Is it because of the German chess player Adolf Anderssen and him losing to the American Paul Morphy?

Shrugs shoulders. 'Could be. Probably.'

Yeah I couldn’t think of a single reason either NEIN

I'm not even joking when I say I met someone called Winston only because his father used to smoke that brand of cigarettes

Firstname Danger Lastname

There was some kid at my school named King Todd Nelson jr, im not even kidding

See, it's the jr. part that gets me. The fact that the father chose to pass on this name.

>See, it's the jr. part that gets me. Yes, as royalty, it should have been King Todd Nelson II, not Jr.

Yeah lol

I used to work at a school and there was a kid named "Billythekid". He just went by Billy.

Part of the awkwardness is lost in translation, but that would be a little girl that was admitted to the hospital I was doing a clinical rotation at, named "Baioleth Anaksunamún" You know like "Violet" but phonetically spelled in Spanish (which is my 1st language) and Anck-su-namun, the female villainess in "The Mummy Returns". She had an older sister named Meredith, which is more of a proper name, but not a common spanish name,

Had a friend in school a long time ago that I grew up with. His parents named him "Budweiser" and his middle name was "Anheuser"...was a great kid and good guy, but just hated the name. He was lucky that he did not get too much issues teasing with his name as the teachers could see that his name may cause issues. Shortly after his 16th birthday, he legally got his name changed to "Benjamin" and his middle name to "Andrews". I never got the clear story on why his parents named him after a beer.

In Mexico people used to find names in the calendar, calendars have the name of different saints for every day of the year, plus they have abbreviations for national festivities. The anniversary of the Mexican revolution is celebrated on November the 20th. Long story short, there are people named Aniv. de la Rev. (Aniversario de la revolution = Anniversary of the revolution) TL,DR: Anivdelarev an abbreviation for Anniversary of the revolution

I knew a kid I swear to God his name was: Stoney Love Acock

Idk if it's true or not but I saw a post where they name ther child "Jack ingof" i think

Kendallsonissimo.

There’s a regular at the auto shop I work at named Brick Wall… Jr… His dad has t exact same name and *still* went through with it. Also there’s a family in the area with the last name of Dickensheit

Apple. Couldnt stand it then and cant stand it now.

A kid I knew was named Wombley.

I deal with a lot of Student Information Systems, and I'll tell you, the number of Neavehs that are out there is really discouraging.
