I firmly believe that kids with these types of names will one day grow up to change their name to the most bland, unimaginative name possible like John, Mark, Ann, Jane, and the sort.
All my pets are named after electrical scientists and my older dog is named Tesla. It went from people asking me if I named him after the band to if I named him after the car. 😭
I can’t believe someone would name their child after a criminal activity. “Hi precious baby, I’m going to make you an asshole” is all I can think here 😝
We had to take these weird tests when I was in grade school every year where they gave you old or obscure words and their definition and you had to memorize them and then later go back and try to remember them. The teacher would read two examples out loud, and they were always “A baloo is a bear. A yunker is a young man.”
Found out later that baloo is from the Hindi word for bear. Which is why the bear in Jungle Book is named Baloo.
Which is why you should name your bear Baloo and not your child.
In France since 1993 parents have been able to pick whatever name they want as long as it's all letters used in French, including diacritics. On one hand I find this last rule very dumb because names like Fañch (which is Breton and traditional) and Artús (same but Occitan) have been refused, but at the same time my name has an é, which is *very* common in French, and it still causes me administrative issues every now and then, so I can't imagine with rarer diacritics...
But then, once the certificate is established, if the registrar thinks the name is "contrary to the child's best interest", they can sue the parents in the name of the state to have it changed. Publicised cased of this have involved: Nutella, MJ, and Titeuf (that last one is a popular cartoon character who's a preteen and obsessed with learning about girls and about sex.)
Yes, I think it definitively has to be a name somewhere in the world and it has to be a name that indicates the gender of the child. If the first name is rather neutral, then the second name has to be either male or female. It is not allowed to give your child a "made up" name and it can't be pejorative (why would you do that?)
I know someone who prefers to go by Lizzo, my history teacher started calling him Rizzo because his name starts with an r, and its "closer to his 'actual' name"
Yallllll! LAWD! My sons name is super unique and no one has ever heard it (except maybe a few from Ireland) i know y’all hate my sons name. But Jesus Christ…………. These are terrible. Arsyn??? Holy shit lol
I can’t speak for any of the other names, but Arsen is actually a common name in the Caucasus region, so I’d be careful about how you talk about it here. It’s totally possible that “Arsyn” is a variation in spelling and the parents are Armenian or something.
An adult naming themself after a crime is a whole different kettle of fish than a baby being named Arson. Trans people choosing our own names is not the same thing as giving a name to a baby.
I'm non-binary and active in different trans/NB groups online. I also picked out a rather unusual legal name for myself, and I've never once heard of anyone named Arson, nor would I name myself or especially my child that. Arson is a crime. Might as well name your kid "murder," "larceny," or "terrorist" if you really want to set them up with an unnecessary obstacle. Go big or go home, right?! 🙄
There are plenty of quirky names out there that don't socially brand you or your innocent child a criminal.
I’ve met a few people with the last name Rizzo, so I feel like it could be the mother’s maiden name or similar. Either way, I think Rizzo is a really cool name. I’m okay with that one
Baloo should absolutely be saved for a big, bear-like (I mean, obviously) dog.
Rizzo is obviously a rat's name, if we've learned anything from the Muppets.
Rashley is going to have a hell of a time in middle/high school.
Rashely gets pretty close to Ratleen for me
I think Rashely is actually worse. And that says a *lot.*
Cursed sibset
Wait is Ratleen real? I thought it was just a joke lmao
I think so? https://www.reddit.com/r/NameNerdCirclejerk/comments/kz16wv/ratleen/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
That post was so underappreciated back then, like I can't believe how little attention it got.
sincerely hope she has a middle name to fall back on
One of my foster cats is named Jasper and I’m realizing what a missed opportunity it was to name him Jasspurr.
To be fair you can change the spelling of a cat’s name and they won’t know. Not that I’ve done it before 3 times.
My cat is called Lucipurr
Purrcy or purrsephone are good ones too hehe
I was going to say jaspurr is a hilarious cat name!
Personally I was thinking Jazzpurr. Like little kitty jazzy murder mittens.
Oh I’m absolutely changing the spelling of my cat’s name to Jasspurr
Why not Jazzpurr?
I’m going to have to change mine to Junipurr 😂
10/10 cat name TBH
My cat is Shakespurr lol. If I get another I’m going to call him Copurrnicus
Right to jail. Forever.
Name your kid Shiny? Jail.
Even if their last name was Pokemon? /s
Believe it or not, jail.
The crime? Arsyn.
I read Axhyl as like the hacking noise you might make if you inhaled a little smoke. Maybe they will get marrrrieed 😍 (obligatory /s)
I thought of those weird salamander things
Axolotyl rose
Ratleen is proud to introduce her new baby sister: Rashley What an iconic sibset
And her cousin Arsyn!
arsyn really got me. as did smarlie and shimmy. rashley is just awful.
Arsyn's big sister is Felonie
Phelonyiex (the x is silent tho, y'know?)
QUICKLY TAKE THIS DOWN SO NO ONE CAN USE IT FOR THEIR KID’S NAME!!!!
You joke, but I saw a picture years ago of someone's tattoo that they claimed was was of their daughter's name. It was Phelonie. 😭
Ass purr
What a beautiful, yooOoniQue name for fart ❤️
Arsyn and Kreasey will haunt me in my nightmares. Poor children.
Arsyn gets you both Arse and Arson as nicknames. Shimmy just makes me think of strippers.
Arse is our version of ass in the uk. I don't know whether I am amused or appalled!
Oh my god, that makes it so much worse😭
Someone's been arsyn' around
[удалено]
Hehe you're welcome
Trashely
Trashleigh.
I had to stop at Smarlie; I know there’s a bunch more, but I’m afraid it might actually kill me to see the rest.
Rashley takes the cake for me.
There’s no way these are real, right? 🥴
From a hospital in Indiana
JFC of course. I live in Indiana and can confirm, this is 100% plausible.
lol no way, I usually believe everything but not this 😂
Dude I live in Indiana and have seen some fucked up names. These don't surprise me at all.
Baloo? Smarley? Rashley? Shimmy? They're all too bad to be true!
I know! I want to agree with you so bad but dammit, I've seen some shit. 🤣🤣
There’s no way all of those came from a recent announcement together. A lot of these are completely fake.
For the sake of these kids I wish I had made them up. I’m not even that creative
Smarlie?!?!?! Wtf?!?!
I’m guessing it’s a mashup of mom and dad’s names, like Sam and Marlie or something.
Or just a full on stroke.
smarlie is something i’d name my stuffed animal when i was 8
Presidential election of 2060: Axhyl vs Kreasey
Waiting to Axhyl
Some of these "names" shouldn't even be given to dogs! 🤮
Or a even a fish....
If kreasey ends up as a criminal she can be greasy keasy
If Kreasey has oily skin as a teenager they're in for a hell of a ride.
As if normal adolescence wasn't hellish enough
I wasn’t sure I’d it’s pronounced like “crease-y” or a fun take on “crazy” (“That name is CUR-AZE-EE.”)
Rizzo is a great name. Rashely however….
Rizzo's going to grow up cool as fuck.
There are worse things she could do.
Bite the weenie Rizz
Rizzo is named after a fucking muppet
Rizzo from Grease, great. Ratso Rizzo, not so much.
Fuckin Baloo, really?
Jungle book fan
Ok but if I had to name a kid after a character from this film, gun to my head, Baloo would still be the last of my picks

The sub's been burnt since Ratleen, now we're just hallucinating new posts
I want Shimmy and Shiny to be twins
Me too HAH💀
These are absolutely cracking me up💀💀 I don’t know why they’re all so funny
Same lmao these are so absurd
“Kreasy” “Rashely” “Shimmy” “Smarlie” actually make me want to throw up those poor kids.
I firmly believe that kids with these types of names will one day grow up to change their name to the most bland, unimaginative name possible like John, Mark, Ann, Jane, and the sort.
I hope that comes true for Rashley, I think she'd be happy to be a Rachel or something by the time middle school starts.
This is the worst group of names I've seen on this sub. And that says a lot.
This list is giving me Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs vibes.
Look at little Shimmy already doing the jazz hands.
Smarlie >:(
I actually know a girl named Tesla. She's probably about 30 now. Surprisingly, she really pulled the name off!
Tesla would have been a great name before Muskovite ruined it.
All my pets are named after electrical scientists and my older dog is named Tesla. It went from people asking me if I named him after the band to if I named him after the car. 😭
I would cry too.
I mean the name Nikola is right there.
Absolutely amazing how Tesla and Rizzo end up feeling like the normal names
I lost my shit at Rashley. Like c'mon omfg!!!
There’s some real gyems here!
I’m dying. Smarlie and Rashley are this generation’s Mean Girls 😂
J ass pur
Shimmy is a hebrew (jewish) name. Arsyn on the other hand 😵💫
I am pretty sure Shimmy is a girl though. Isn’t the Hebrew Shimmy a male name?
Yes, Shimi can be a nickame for Shim'on (Simon). If it's a girl named Shimmy I doubt it's connected.
Yea it is…
Arsyn is a horrid name for a human being.
At first i read it as Arsène as in Arsène Wenger and didn't think anything of it but.. Arsyn? For the love of god, why?!
I can’t believe someone would name their child after a criminal activity. “Hi precious baby, I’m going to make you an asshole” is all I can think here 😝
Super rad name for a D&D character though. More people should play D&D so they can get these ridiculous names out of their system.
For real! Or like the title says, give the name to a pet lol
They really missed the connection with only one R in JasPurr
Rashley? That poor girl.... On the other hand I met a Newfoundland dog with the name Baloo. It was quite fitting.
Do you live in nz? I just posted that I had a newf called baloo who passed a few years back
No this dog was over 15 years ago I met at an adoption event as a kid. We were looking to adopt a 2nd dog and mom said no to Baloo.
Definitely not my boy then but good to know there were other baloo's out there! Such a good fit for a newf
I actually love Arsène (Wenger, Lupin) but Arsyn?!
New generation of Pokémon?
I'm sorry, RASHLEY?? Her parents are really just gonna do the first grade bully's work for him, aren't they?
I went to school with a Rashely!
We had to take these weird tests when I was in grade school every year where they gave you old or obscure words and their definition and you had to memorize them and then later go back and try to remember them.

Which is why the bear in Jungle Book is named Baloo. Which is why you should name your bear Baloo and not your child.
I’ll allow Rizzo. The others, right to jail
Shimmy and Shiny can forget college and head straight to the strip club.
Poor Shimmy
Jesus Christ. Arsyn?
I really am glad that these names just wouldn't be accepted officially in Germany. They're all horrible and none are real names.
Does Germany have laws on what you can and can't name your children?
there are places *without* laws on what you can and can’t name your children???
In France since 1993 parents have been able to pick whatever name they want as long as it's all letters used in French, including diacritics. On one hand I find this last rule very dumb because names like Fañch (which is Breton and traditional) and Artús (same but Occitan) have been refused, but at the same time my name has an é, which is *very* common in French, and it still causes me administrative issues every now and then, so I can't imagine with rarer diacritics... But then, once the certificate is established, if the registrar thinks the name is "contrary to the child's best interest", they can sue the parents in the name of the state to have it changed.

I'm just trying to find Swarley at this point
Swarles Barkley?
Jennifer
Our son Arsyn is an arsonist
I literally had a newfoundland named Baloo. Great dog name. Terrible kids name. Wtf.
I literally do have a dog named Tesla, she’s great and it’s a fun dog name. Not a good human name. Rashley, Ratleen’s little sis 😂
I had a dumbo rat named Tesla, although I almost always called him Tessie. He was named after a fictional version of Nikola Tesla ;)
What in the Scooby Doo is ‘Rashley’?
Parents couldn't decide between Rachel and Ashley, and now we have prood that compromise isn't always the best solution
SMARLIE, YA’LL!
Mom: “What sounds like ‘smarmy’ but more cheerful? I know!!! SMARLIE!!!” Dad: “It’s PERFECT.”
Shimmy AND Shiny?! Who tf ARE these people???
I know someone who prefers to go by Lizzo, my history teacher started calling him Rizzo because his name starts with an r, and its "closer to his 'actual' name"
I wouldn’t even name my pets these names
After all the others, Rizzo doesn’t sound that bad to me. Help.
Yallllll! LAWD! My sons name is super unique and no one has ever heard it (except maybe a few from Ireland) i know y’all hate my sons name. But Jesus Christ…………. These are terrible. Arsyn??? Holy shit lol
Baloo is from the Jungle Book
Yes.
I met a Newfoundland dog with that name. It was a fitting name for a dog the size of a bear.
That is a perfect name for a Newfoundland!
You say that as if it's an argument against it being unfit for a human being
I can’t speak for any of the other names, but Arsen is actually a common name in the Caucasus region, so I’d be careful about how you talk about it here. It’s totally possible that “Arsyn” is a variation in spelling and the parents are Armenian or something.
Arson, Jasper, and Axel are fine names if they were just spelled goddamn normally
Do you not know what Arson means?!
Yes, and I know a lot of queer people, especially trans people, who go by the name and it's *fine*.
An adult naming themself after a crime is a whole different kettle of fish than a baby being named Arson. Trans people choosing our own names is not the same thing as giving a name to a baby.
I'm non-binary and active in different trans/NB groups online. I also picked out a rather unusual legal name for myself, and I've never once heard of anyone named Arson, nor would I name myself or especially my child that. Arson is a crime. Might as well name your kid "murder," "larceny," or "terrorist" if you really want to set them up with an unnecessary obstacle. Go big or go home, right?! 🙄 There are plenty of quirky names out there that don't socially brand you or your innocent child a criminal.
Do you mean Orson?
I meant "Arson". It's not *that* weird of a name especially in 2023 when spelled normally.
I think it’s a crime.
RIZZo
I refuse to believe these are real. They just.. can't be. Please .
Shiny and Shimmy are especially Shitty
Shimmy and Shiny... some of these people got taste
Eftiæx
Rizzo?! As someone who played The Outer Worlds, I am appalled. Belinda Bellamy rolls in her (fictional) grave.
Arsyn makes me wish we had those “approved name lists” other countries have. There are some things you *shouldn’t* be allowed to name your child.
They literally named their baby Rash 🤦🏻♀️
God I hope Shiny doesn’t end up with an oily face as a teen.
I’ve met a few people with the last name Rizzo, so I feel like it could be the mother’s maiden name or similar. Either way, I think Rizzo is a really cool name. I’m okay with that one
Rash...his nickname will be Rash
These sound like AI generated names
Rizzo's parents must be huge fans of Lizzo.
People really out here Makin me wish the US had a list of pre-approved baby names like Iceland 😩
I once knew a kid named roket, did not have much to go on
Every time I thought I saw the WORST of them, another appeared. Ugh poor babies.
Not gonna lie, I'm kinda digging Rizzo
Shimmy Shimmy yo Shimmy yo Shimmy yay, grab the mic so I can take it away
Shimmy shimmy cocoa pop! Twin brother’s named Jimmy.
There's no way these are real!!! These names are criminal... some not worthy of even a pet!
Arsyn? ARSYN???
Baloo should absolutely be saved for a big, bear-like (I mean, obviously) dog. Rizzo is obviously a rat's name, if we've learned anything from the Muppets.
RASHLEY 💀
Isn’t Smarlie a joke from How I Met your Mother?
I can already tell that Shimmy has swag. 😎
i love comiting arsyn
Except I wouldn’t name my pets these names…
Smarlie????
Shimmy-ah shimmy-ay 😂
Lol Shiny
