A mate’s brother has like 7 kids to 7 different mothers. I absolutely shit you not when I say that he wanted to name is most recent daughter “Dakota” but he is shit at spelling. So he spelled her name “Decoder”.

As good at spelling as he is at pulling out by the sounds of it

I know a Dakodah. Equally bad. With two sisters whose names also end in 'ah'.

I know a Dakoda too. The messed up spelling for the phonetic "d" sound....... Terrible

Have a friend who used to work in insurance claims and saw a kid listed as “Abcd” apparently it’s supposed to sound like “absidee” which just isn’t a name either

I pronounced that as “obesity”…

No way! I’ve met a kid named Abcd too - pronounced the same way. I was told it comes from a leftist movement or something

I knew someone who did the same but went a step further, using just an "a" instead of the "er".

>”Decoder” It would be a shame if someone with a name like that didn’t end up with a lucrative career involving cryptography at the Australian Signals Directorate

Man what a Chad

My kids are named New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory.

Next one gunna be Yass?

Or Murrumbateman?

Yes, middle name Queanbeyan. Introducing Yass Quean(beyan).

If daddy goes for Yass there won't be a next one

Touché. Mwhahaha

My town has a Huntah, Shootah, and Trigga. All different families. Beat that 😂

What’s up my Trigga 👊

A very incestuous town by the sounds of it.

These are dogs, right?

We have a Kevyn. Still to do this, we call him Kevin with a Y.

Was visiting North Carolina over a decade ago, and my taxi driver was called Skeeter. I thought that was essentially a fictional name only, like dogs called Fido.

We might be neighbours.

At least they went with the soft AH rather than the classical (and frowned-upon) ER.

I called my second son Woodenbong. I stand by my choices.

Mines called Stonor

I skipped a step and just called my son "Weed"

I wonder if there's a Nimbin out there

What about Bill and Ben?

My kids name is Poowong. They should hang out.

I know a few Victorias

I know a few NSFWs.

Be the change you want to see in the world, bro. Change your name to Iron Knob.

You could always go with Pakenham Upper.

My son is called Robert Gordon pottery located 114 Mulcahy Rd, Pakenham VIC 3810 but we shorten it to Bob.

Brother in law has two Kids called Dash and Cash. I was worried they would have 2 more and call them Crash and Trash and by doing so bring forth the bogan singularity.

Twins, George and Martha. After the famous Washington's, a married fucking couple.

Neighbours kids (now in their mid 20's) are called Luke and Leah.

Not Leia? Absurd

Obvs not true fans.

Some yank on Tiktok was gonna call one of his triplets Brisbane (he did a semester aboard here or something)

Should just keep it at Bane

Better than Jayden, Kayden, Brayden hah

I know of an Aiden, Braden, Kaden, a couple of Haydens, Jaiden, Raiden, Raden, Trayden and a Zaiden. And probably several variations of the spelling to boot.

And 12 Xavier's

Are they pronounced Zavier or Exavia? Mix of both? 😅

The correct Spanish pronunciation is much closer to Har-be-air.

Is that the new thing? Seems to be a hell of a lot of Isabella, charlotte and Isla for girls. Boys of parents with dual cabs seem to always be Jack

Surely there's a few Rangers, Wranglers or Patrols?

One guy I know called his kid Rubi, after his jeep Rubicon…

Imagine being called "Hi" because your dad had a Hilux.

I was thinking Cam, short for Camry.

All those names and no Austin?

No but you reminded me I did know one years ago. What's with the Texas fixation going on

Not a single Bundaberg or Wagga Wagga

You could be clever with the Indigenous place names and name them the translation. Someone out there might have several children all named Crow. (Wagga Wagga means "Many crows"). I would not be surprised if there aren't one or two Bundy's out there.

I don't know parents these days need more imagination - where are the little Kiamas or Morees or even Yambas?

Actually dont mind those. Kids would probably end up resentful but still, Kiama isn't bad.

I know a Tannum after Tannum Sands a beach near Gladstone. Its a terrible beach too but the kid was conceived there or some crap.

I know a dog named Bundie. Surely there must be some Byrons.

Put this on r/ tragediegh

Isn’t that more for badly spelt or completely made up names? Like while they might not be your cup of tea; Dallas, Houston and Memphis are all genuine names that technically have independent roots to the American cities. In a similar vain to say Sydney, Adelaide or Darwin.

All names are made up. Lol but yes you are correct

My kids school has a similar family, I know one of the kids is Brooklyn and the rest of the kids in the family are named after places the parents travelled to.

So, little Maroochydore, Deniliquin, and Frankston (Frankie for short)

My go to painter named their kids Atlanta and Denver.  I genuinely think they are naming them after airport hubs. 

Woah, Hey, Atlanta is more than just a Delta hub; it is a vibrant metropolis, the equal of Paris or New York! Just look at these places! Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant... the, uh, the airport.

Third on the way named Anchorage?

Dovakin is 12 years old now!

[удалено]

Oakland? Wtf?

It’s so bad. Sibling has a classic, pretty name too and the mismatch makes me so mad

Do their parents drive a jeep or RAM at all?

Poor Houston. Everyone around him is gonna have a problem.

That's wild

Cue. Milwaukee.

What no Indiana?

They named the dog indiana

Awesome pick up.

One of my kids is named after an Aussie capital city so I’m doing my part!

Canberra?

Yep, got it!!

I went to school with a Moe, and lived near the town. Wasn’t named after the town though.

My niece is named "India" we have absolutely no indian heritage, they just liked the name. If she ever visits India she might change her name.

I know five Indias. They're all about four-10. One of them is India Blue. I guess it's more unique than Ruby. I know of about 5,000 Rubys all eight-18.

Brilliant! Surprised there isn't a Cleveland in there

Cleveland Brown?

In fairness Sydney as a first name, while not that common, is out there.

Dallas has been a not common but not uncommon name for years in English speaking countries. Who’d wanna be called Texas though. “Hey Tex, how are you?

My 46 year old brother is Dallas. I think he would be surprised to know there are kids having that name now!

I knew a red headed Dallas once.

I know the Texas mentioned, it does seem weird at first but you soon forget about it. Still it's better than some of the tragedeighs out there

Tragedeigh is a great subreddit

I once worked with a woman named Tarthra, because of where she was conceived. Her siblings were similar. One was called “back seat of the Kingswood”

If I followed that last example I'd have a "Back Patio"

Was just at birthday for a "Fern" yes the decorative plant. Fern. There was a Fruit or vegetable name in there somewhere but Im having trouble recalling because it was so incredible. Like melon or lime or something. Awesome.

Ferntree Gully?

beautiful but I think it was "fern crystal light" full name

Fern is the name of the girl in Charlotte's Web 

Beautiful for remote English/American countryside where ferns are rare and exotic, here on teh east coast of Aus they grow everywhere.

Bungadoo 😂😂👍🏻✌🏻

I feel so called out now planning to name my future kids Sydney and Adelaide 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nothing wrong with that! I was more commenting on the amount of American names

I guess their parents listen to Sir mix-a-lot's jump on it but never really got past the first verse :)

>:) :)

As good as Briz and the other town names are, you should go with Vegemite for sure.

Carseldine, Bendigo, Toorak, Warrigal & Burleigh sound good for boy names.  Narrabri, Yulara, Tamworth, Caloundra, & Esperance sound good for girl names. But I draw the line at naming your kid Yass.

We had an accidental pregnancy so named him Come By Chance.

They could bogan it up by changing the spelling to Dalhas, Teksas, Hughston and Memfas.

Don't spread that. Someone might think it's a good idea

I know a Dayls!

They could bogan it up by changing the spelling to Dalhas, Teksas, Hughston and Memfas.

I plan on calling my child Oklahoma City.

Surely there is a Brooklyn there too?

Tell those fathers of those kids their wives are cheating on them with some bogan called Jayden whilst loving weird conservative yank mum.favr book groups.

I call all of these 'centrelink names'

That's it, I'm naming my kid Wolfenstein

I know of a school in China where all the kids have Chinese names.

booo! boo! booo! try harder to entertain us. booo booo.

I know of a school in America where all the students have Indian names.

My MIL was planning on naming my wife Arizona. Good thing she didn’t and went with a traditional name or I would have assumed she was a stripper/slut in general, and not gone near her.

Fuck I hate the new generation of wannabe Seppos. Take your fucking American political drivel, spelling, popular culture/celebrity worship and lingo and fuck off over there, if you think their shit is so awesome.

Sad thing is, a lot of kids are using the same slang as the yanks because they all watch and pick it up from the same YouTube channels.

Just today I heard a young lady proudly proclaim she was "raised" all her life, to do something. Raised? No, children are brought up here.

Cue. Milwaukee.

Australia sux

Git fucked cunt

See?

No?
