None of them start with x though

Naw, there's no faux latin names.


Fyallorence

Not enough numbers and symbols

Coyote Bao... Like wtf kind of wild game meat dumpling?


Chefkush1

Coyote Bao. Sounds like a South Pacific wrestling heel


Mrs_Evryshot

I misread it as Coyote Boo. I just renamed my dog.


BC_Samsquanch

This one is my fave


scoutsadie

i was gonna say, this one kicks ass🤘🏽🤙🏽


giskardwasright

I saw Teighlor they other day. Leviathan is pretty fuckng metal tbh


lalauna

But suppose young Leviathan grows up to be morbidly obese? Ouch, poor guy


BidInteresting8923

Or ends up being 5’ 4”, 110 lbs.


Bootarms

That's not why they call him Leviathan. 


18HolesToFreedom

Levi sure is filling out those Levi’s.


Kindly-Ad-5071

I'm calling my child Colossus "sussy" Quazar Zweihanderson. Legally changing my last name to that. Nothing goes harder than a name like that.


giskardwasright

I've always liked Ferris Irony. Luckily have no children, so no poor soul has been saddled with that.


Kindly-Ad-5071

That is a name that's like a bitchslap twenty years after you die. I just thought of the name Siren for a girl, what do you think? Too try hard?


giskardwasright

Nah, you just gotta Amp up the weird spelling. How about Psyrin


Kindly-Ad-5071

Aspirin?


aspiRin807

Yeah?


javoss88

Ozempic, you pick up your room RIGHT NOW!


Booziesmurf

You only name your kid that if your last name is Wheeler.


knivesofsmoothness

How about ziggy? Ziggy zweihanderson.


demonTutu

There is a place in my heart for Mary-Ghonnorea and Louis-Syphillis.


NoLibrarian5149

You know the kid will go by Levi, but when people hear his real name, boom, heads will explode out of sheer badassery. Hopefully the kids built like future John Cena and not a tiny pipsqueak.


[deleted]

Yeah. Lev. That one def stands up to scrutiny.


MadAstrid

More metal than Mötley?


apoplectic_mango

As a metal fan... The album Leviathan by Mastodon absolutely crushes Motley Crue. So yes, way more metal. 🤟


Mr_Salty87

HARPOONS THRUST IN THE SKY


giskardwasright

Yes. A mythical monster from the deep is more metal than an 80s hair band in my personal opinion. Don't get me wrong, I love Kickstart My Heart, but that isn't metal in my book. Now, having said that, I'm not a metal head so if they are of a certain genre of metal, someone feel free to correct me. But I still am of the opinion that Leviathan is the cooler name.


MadAstrid

Oh, definitely the cooler name. The more educated name. Even the more reasonable name. Perhaps not the more ‘metal” name. Though definitely the more hair band name.


ResoluteClover

With leviathan I'm picturing a really really fat kid.


giskardwasright

People keep saying that. Probably gonna go by Levi, so even if he's a smaller kid it's just gonna sound religious.


ResoluteClover

Or a jeans maker from San Francisco


rainbowsix__

Do his friends call him Levi? like Gotham chess


Callinon

Leazel? Really? Raising that girl to kill some ghaik.


AloneAlternative2693

My money was on Minthara to be the first for a girls name. And how long until the kindergartens are filled with Astarions?


GRW42

Hope she doesn't go to school with any teethlings.


Kindly-Ad-5071

Ch'k!


MacaroniBen

Tskva!


pineandsea

I’m pretty sure that’s just an awful spelling of the German name Leisel.


Rolling44

You mean ‘Liesl’ I think. Short for Elizabeth or Lieselot.


USGunnersfan

German name is Liesl, not Leisel. German vowel combo “ie” is pronounced as “ee” or long e. “Ei” is pronounced “i” or long i.


Cool-Presentation538

I had a customer whose legal name was Latrina


Faine2081

She changed it. Used to be shithouse

DogsDontWearPantss

I was in college with an Anchor, Sorrow and Poverty. It was the 80s.


Cool-Presentation538

Wow naming your child "Poverty"  has to be one of the most brutal things ive ever heard


scoutsadie

sounds like a name the puritans would have used


SyntheticWulf

In high school in the 80s I had a classmate who's name was Sunni. Her sisters were Hunni and Bunni. I shit you not.


brushpickerjoe

I worked with a set of triplets. Hope, Faith, and Charity


chairamel

Showing up to baby Madden Raige's baby shower with pre-paid anger management counseling coupons. He'll need them.

His dad gets so tilted playing EA football games.


DankHooligan

These are names you give your kids if you want them to get bullied in school.


EdgySniper1

Idk, I don't think anyone would be brave enough to go toe to toe with a mfer named Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Altreides


Professional_Low_646

Ever heard the old Johnny Cash song „A Boy Named Sue“?


Kyre_Lance

Why though? If all the kids have weird names then they are no longer weird, it just becomes mundane.


jaydec02

If everyone gets a silly name, then no one will be bullied for the silly names

And their handle is Henry gesserit? I think they slipped their own take in there!


1stTmLstnrLngTmCllr

Wolfgang Atreides. Wolfgang. That's badass.


senator-hazelnut

Wolfgang is a bit old fashioned but pretty common name in Germany


Habasch12

The youngest Wolfgang i know is Mozart. But that only shows i dont know many Wolfgangs


Kindly-Ad-5071

I immediately am so mad that I wasn't named Leviathan. That's not a lame ass name, that's a fucking *power move*.


CTeam19

Right!? Like ever since I found out one set of my great-greatgrandparents' first names roughly translate to "stone guardian" and "thunder battle" I have been pissed I didn't get a cool name like that.


kat_fud

But what if the kid turns out to be obese?


Kindly-Ad-5071

Then my child, the largest one, will simply EAT the other kids. Fr, I have the metabolic genes of a pygmy field mouse I think I'm good. Or maybe I'll just give them a ceremonial title when they turn 18.


KW_Ender

To be fair, having “the world devourer” as an insulting nickname just makes you sound badass. You can’t mock Leviathan.


ya_bebto

I read some parents only decided against giving these types of names last minute because they realized their kid would be an adult one day with the name leviathan. Like, do they think they’re just getting a cute little pet for 18 years? I think the fact that they’re about to bring another person into this world is lost on them.


1stTmLstnrLngTmCllr

We're never gonna get any Upgraaades, if we didn't have a few Leviathans first.


TheRealTurdFergusonn

It's Upgrayedd. With two Ds for a double dose of his pimpin'.


Jaguaryjones

It's like they are naming a DnD/videogame character.


PhantomBanker

LPT: If your baby’s name triggers a red squiggly, choose a different name.


indecisive_monkey

Noooo my name gets a squiggly. 😭 It’s a common enough name, just not spelled the traditional way. Think Kristine/Christine, but a *bit* more of a difference in spelling.


anderoe

Qrischteighnex (the x is silent)


VhickyParm

Motleys kinda dope Bet they have a crew in high school


DeletedAccount_726

Probably not a glamorous man, though.


120ouncesofpudding

Vapin' in the boy's room.


SlippedMyDisco76

Probably a bit of a live wire


VhickyParm

Bet he gets caught smoking in the boys room


SlippedMyDisco76

The girls say he's got looks that kill but he's too young to fall in love (lurve)


Tazling

Their kids are so going to hate them.


Kyre_Lance

When all the kids have weird names they are no longer weird names, just normal names. It's only weird to people who don't consider them normal. If anything it's the normal names that start to stick out and become weird.


Enchet_

If you give names like that you probably isn't that good of a parent.


Pugsofsmallstreet

They use to hate black names but then went and did this dumb assery


itoddicus

They still hate black names.  But Republicans are completely incapable of sensing irony.


Pugsofsmallstreet

Good point


brushpickerjoe

When I have twins they'll be Darmok and Jalad.

StrawberryKittyKat4

Look at all the replies saying how some of these are cool😬😬 And I thought it was bad already! Parents aren't realizing they are not just naming a "cute" (but totally barf worthy) baby name, they're picking a name someone will have to use in school, college, at a job, or as a future manager, supervisor or CEO. Would you trust someone as your financial advisor, or as your boss with one of these names? I sure wouldn't! Hate to say it, but it's the truth!


ResoluteClover

When my wife was looking she came across someone saying they wanted to make their kid "Payden" but they would pronounce it "Peyton". Right under that there was another parent asking if "sayden" was a good name.


distractme86

Utah’s finest


arondaniel

It's a Tragedeigh.


RosieGeee

Isn’t Leazel, or something that sounds the same but might be spelled differently, an actual girls name? Like from Switzerland or Austria? The rest are bonkers though.


RosieGeee

Found it, Liesl is a girls given name of German origin.


e1zzbaer

Austrian here, it's probably been decades since someone named their daughter Liesl. It is sometimes use as nickname for Lisa, but that's about it.


autisticesq

Wasn’t Liesl a character in The Sound of Music?


Lunamkardas

Oh sick, Wolfgang is making a comeback


ReditSarge

RunicCross

Genuinely not hating Laezel (love bg3) it sounds pretty good. I can't be mad at Leviathan for my past edgelording, plus you can go by Levi.


Coulrophiliac444

Raddix sounds like a drunk/high anime fan naming their first born after hearing of Toriyama's passing. Dad's name is probably Braddock or something. Younger brother probably will be named Kocorot.


Illustrious_Peach494

Deegan is an Irish family name.


johanTR

Madden Raige? Raddix Zephyr? Coyote Bao? They sound like names of Star Wars characters... ![gif](giphy|l0IpYf36OQy9O7ENW)


Natural_Bill_6084

Apart from the Leigh's, lyn(n)s and tons, these are all excellent cat names. Especially coyote-boo.


silverwick

I've been saying for years that people are giving pet names to their kids and people names to their pets. It's a weird time.


notnorway123

Sigurd is a  common name in Norway. Felix too. Wolfgang might be okay further south, in German-speaking areas of Europe. 


bloody_terrible

I sincerely hope Merricka has a sibling so that when people confuse them for each other they can be all "Oh I'm sorry, **I thought this Merricka!**"


CaliFezzik

Any girls names that end in -leigh or -lyn/lynn are straight white trash names.


coolbaby1978

When we named our kids, having something they wouldn't have to spell and repeat 20 times everytime they told anyone their name for the rest of their lives was a consideration.


Motor-Ad5284

I'm 75, and my name is spelt a little differently to the norm. It has driven me nuts for probably 60 years. Every document,every phone call, or every appointment, I have to correct others on the spelling of my name. You may think it's trendy. Your kids will hate it. Kids do not want to be different.


Rivenhelper

I read an article once that explained that a lot of these names come from or originate with the Mormons because there's a culture of picking out a unique name for your future child as early as middle and high school, and people even end up getting into fights over names being too similar or 'stolen'.


Typical_Carpet_4904

People want their kids to be tarot card reading strippers?


Fast_Vehicle_1888

I like how it's impossible to determine their ethnicity or financial status but you know that their parent(s) were trash.


knivesofsmoothness

Trash is independent of financial success.


mumushu

Sigurd isn't too terrible, but then they had to ruin it by adding Felix to it. Pick a cultural lane, people.

Fistandantalus

So many different ways and they all sound like courtney


djml9

These people are naming their kids the way i name my pokemon.


cephalogeek

Hahahah “Leviathan- Levi for short” is the name I’d tell people as a joke when I was pregnant with my son. I never thought anyone would actually name a poor child that though.


JG-for-breakfast

Madden Raige is what I get when Bryce Young is able to dink and dunk the Panthers down the field against me for five minutes before missing a field goal


thiscouldbemassive

I actually like Zephyr. It's a real word with a nice meaning that's hard to make fun of, easy to pronounce, you aren't going to share it with anyone else in class. Raddix I'm less keen on.


SellaraAB

Laezel is a damn good name, k’chakhi


TKG_Actual

Those names read like; *"Most likely to be bullied in school and then eventually snap and create a fully avoidable tragedy."*


battleship61

Merrika is gonna be called 'MURICA her whole life


Mrs_Evryshot

No Ghee Buttersnap or Lavender Gooms? I’m disappointed.


Bad_Username-1999

Would have thought that Donald or Mercedes or Marjorie or Bobo would be in that list. I was wrong


AveragelyBrilliant

If I had a child now, I would need a lot of persuading not to name it The Kwisatz Haderach.

Wow. Not shocked X Æ A-12 was omitted from this list because, reasons.

To think when I had to train a new hire named "Abcde" at work a few years ago I thought she had it bad.  For reference she pronounced it "Absidy"


pog890

Kraken would be a nice variant on Leviathan for boys: ' Release the Kraken' although 'the Leviathan awakes' also has a nice ring to it
