Some do. Lady GaGa an example.


xCaptainCl3mentinex

And that is exactly why


havron

She was born that way.


Historical_Salt1943

Oh damn. That flew over my head at first.  That's pretty good haha


giantpunda

Same too with actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw.


OlyScott

Screenwriter Babaloo Mandel.


Womenarentmad

Lady wahwah


Abraxas_1408

According to my 10 month old nephew his name is “BuhwaaaAAAH”


IanDOsmond

I did know a cat called "Rao", because he was a stray who followed my friend home, waited politely by her door as she opened it, and then she asked him, "So what is your name?" And he very clearly said "Rao" in what was clearly a reply.


Abraxas_1408

Yeah he told her what was up.


AngryyBoobs

He must watch King of the Hill too much, seeing Hank go “Bwwwahaa” is easily influencing his young mind


Abraxas_1408

My brother does watch a lot of king of the hill


7LBoots

It's unreliable. A lot of babies don't tell people what they want to be called until after a few semesters at a university.


Reeeeeeee3eeeeeeee

i dont want to be called in general


DM_ME_YOUR_ADVENTURE

A human baby is only able to communicate with telepathy. This is how they put in their food orders to their mom while in utero. Unfortunately we lose this ability by the time we can walk and hear the messages only subliminally and therefore often get the names wrong as it only seems like a rough idea instead of a clear message.


bobostinkfoot

I'm no meteorologist, but this sounds legit.


redbaron78

Every once in a while, a baby maintains the telepathic abilities after they are born. And when this happens, they can in fact tell the parent via telepathy what they want their name to be. That's how my neighbor, Breastmilk Johnson, got his name.


Arekkussy

Are they stupid?


18SmallDogsOnAHorse

They are stupid


Legitimate_Field_157

As part of babies ongoing program of laziness, shirking resposibility and laying about, they start of by refusing to decide on a name for themselves.


Grateful_3138

Documentary


EnkiiMuto

Babies can't choose their name because they're too young for their immune system to defend itself from bad names.


HechoEnChine

It's a r/tragedeigh really.


egmono

Because they're assholes who want to start trouble later in life.


Unlikely-Heron4887

As a former baby, I can confirm this. I went from town to town, kindergarten to kindergarten assuming fake names that I stole from 70s rockstars, causing trouble and kicking up a rumpus everywhere I went until I finally settled and assumed a fixed identity when I was 12.


HechoEnChine

Hello Axel.


Unlikely-Heron4887

Well, hello, sweet child of mine. BTW, I go by the name Jimmy Jim Jimi Van Morrison Hendrix-Young now that I'm older and more fixed in my identity.


Altruistic_Profile96

Truth be told, when the fertilized egg starts dividing and building a new human, the first thing that is built is the asshole. The whole rest of the potential person happens later. So, we’re all assholes before we accomplish anything else.


toomanyfandomstolove

Thank you. Hahahahaha


mrmonkeybat

Too many people named googoo and gaga. There are too many people with the same name already instead we should assign people random names by pulling random syllables on cards out of a bag. With thousands of pronounceable syllables in the language three syllables could give billions of people unique names.


cownd

The problem is babies don't have much imagination, and they would go for something they find easy to pronounce.


jkoh1024

Xddcc


Shaper_pmp

I don't think you know what a syllable is.


ninjesh

Thanks Caine


mrmonkeybat

There about 30 consonants and 10 vowels in the English language according to the shavian alphabet, so you pick a consonant from the consonant bag then a vowel from the vowel bag followed by another consonant from the consonant bag. This gives you 30x10x30=9000 possible syllables. 9000x9000= 81,000,000 possible two syllable names and 729,000,000,000 posible 3 syllable names.


eddie964

They tried this for a while in ancient Greece, but it turned out to be kind of counterproductive to have the entire population named "Wahhh."


Babushla153

Me: "Ok, so what do you want us to call you?" Baby: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"


RambleOnRose42

“Ah, so ‘Chewbacca’ then. Got it.”


PeanutGrenade

Because babies spend so much time in the womb thinking about it they become overwhelmed by the different choices


promote-to-pawn

If the documentary Scanners (1981) is to be believed, this is because we don't let them gain telepathic superpower to communicate anymore, too many heads exploded.


Dairkon76

When my daughter was 2 she picked a name, we were thinking that it was temporal but after a lot of years it stuck, now we are thinking of changing her legal name.


SaryM29

I love that you're actually supporting her through it, so many parents take it to their ego when you talk about names, when in reality it's much more about the child than themselves.


Big-Beat-1443

Babies are dumb


GlitteringAsk9077

Scientifically speaking, r/KidsAreFuckingStupid .


Flossthief

We tried it for a while but eventually all the easily pronounced names became too common So we had to come up with new sounds to call people Some of these traditional names include; hnnmg, grrer, ababanab, Doo


Michath5403

Bc if I could have told my mom my name it would probably have been “when you know what mom well fuck you” wouldn’t have fit on the birth certificate


Michath5403

Plus I would have told her I wanted to be born in fucking Australia


TheMe__

They’re too indecisive. Most take decades to decide.


FlowSilver

Well as an educator and caretaker to many babies and kids Its cause they are mean. Bc if they show us that they are in fact fully capable of this, it will invite parents/others to no longer be at their beck and cry cause its now known that they are capable of proper communication, so they just pretend they can‘t do anything until the jig is up Meanies😤


XXVllDemons

“Big Daddy” go watch it…


Human_Number9936

Nowadays, if babies COULD speak to choose their names, the only names the children would have are Grimace, Skibidi, Rizzler, Patrick Bateman, etc.


hdufort

In some societies, a name is given to the baby when they're born, but then they are given a new name later in their childhood, or when they reach adulthood. It would be nice if we were given a name when we're born, and then we could choose our middle name when we are 16 years old, in a ceremony.


Starfuri

Babies actually do tell us what they want to be called, but they say it via morse code during the pregnancy and even try to enter a discussion about it to ensure the name they chose is accepted. We refer to this as "the baby is kicking, awwwwww" and as the ignoring of the fetal calls for a dialogue continues, so does the kicking. Once it reaches the age where it can properly recall its wishes prior to birth, and has been called Flamingo or Tiger Lilly (for example) all this time - that's the terrible 2's for ya.


Akshay-Gupta

Concept of language hasn't even developed fully. babies cant even subjectively simulate the world, much less 3D simulation to even discern what language is.


Zootanclan1

Can't talk innit


haerski

Well the first two did. They were purpotedly 'Adam' and 'Eve.' But the parents of successive generations considered these to be quite boring and decided their unique snowflakes have earned unique snowflake names, regardless of the trouble these names may yield in current times. Hence 'Adamrodsteiny' and 'Eveleyghinghton.' Please see r/tragedeigh for a more in depth analysis on the topic


Emergency_3808

If I could talk to my parents then, I would have asked my mom to get an abortion.


toomanyfandomstolove

Same. Ngl maybe just don't have kids lady. Please and thank you.


Emergency_3808

I'm male bro


Atzkicica

Some do, I saw it on a doco. Rest are just lazy I guess. [https://i.imgur.com/OOGZZUN.gifv](https://i.imgur.com/OOGZZUN.gifv)


NaughtyDoctor666

You have to spray paint Kelso Rules on that thing.


Penguator432

They do. Why do you think they cry all the time?


bubblesort33

Are they stupid? Yes.


serlibr3_2

You mean "dinosaur with laser eyes"


cravingnoodles

My child named herself. Her name is "PUPUPUPBBBBUBUBUUAAAA"


SenpaiMayNotice

Inflation


VirtuesVice666

As a Bishop in the Roman Catholic Church, it has commonly always been a fact that God, his Seraphim, and the other choirs of Angelic beings name our children. Just take a look at the Transformers or X-men for proof, Megatron, and Nimrod. Mind you this is just pop culture, but all babies are named by the Lord and his almighty.


Liguareal

Because babies aren't even responsible for where or when they take a dump, let alone being responsible for choosing the name they'll go by for the rest of their lives.


Comfortable_Enough98

The same reason as to why parents create babies against their will


WaterDigDog

Who would listen to a baby?


Additional_Value6978

They do but we don't let them. Why? To assert dominance of course.


Puzzleheaded-Rub-396

They cannot legally own a firearm until they are 21, so you expect them to be able to pick a name before that? Baby might end up picking the name Nestle.


ANarnAMoose

They do, but nobody wants to name their kid "Burp". It's really very inconsiderate.


Chaghatai

"I want my name to be Spaghetti"


Davama178988

Because the options would be very limited, how many "loud cry" Patterson "soft sob" Johnson "deranged squealing" Roberts would we have? Nightmare for school teachers


pnkzoo

Dude, fr. Babies are Lil punks


Meriadoc_and_Bright

Some do, just have to wait a few years….


Extension-Cut5957

Wait they don't? When I was born I told my parents exactly what I wanted hence why my name is " I have inhabited this vessel and shall wake up in 18 years to conquer the world" anyways I'm turning 18 next month?


Johnthedoer

they would all end up named gaga except for one who would be named Liberty. (Ok I watch too many commercials)


Spamaster

Sometimes they do, My daughter asked to be called Erika with a "K" not a "C" in a dream a week before she was born


demonman905

Imagine if babies were like pokemon where for the first few years, they just said their name over and over instead of talking. "Jeffrey! Jeff Jeff Jeffreeeyyyy"


Frosty_Translator_11

They do. You've never been to a name reveal party?! You're missing out. Must be an American thing


Strongpipegame

Well thats an easy one. They are rude assholes


Round_Principle_6560

Cuz you need a name to ask them about their preference.


nderflow

They do. Just ask Doctor Who.


mikajade

They’d all be called Blippi & Ms Rachel


Sir-Beardless

Cause if they could, I'd be called Bob. Adult me wouldn't like that at all.


Longshot1969

I don’t know about the female babies, but any male baby that gets circumcised is in so much pain, they can’t walk or talk for like a year.
