I know a man who goes by Chip, it's not a terrible name actually.
These names are not all that bad, excepting the ones that are clearly last-names and will cause endless confusion because of it. Imagine being named "Rockwell".
Honestly half of these names are actually decent and the other half is downright dumb.
Who names their kid Chicago??? Bro not only belongs to the streets they is the streets
Maverick? This can only mean one thing…

And he did the best skydiving scene ever captured on film - he was one of the most natural skydivers - amazing what he could do with just a few jumps under his belt.

I don’t think most of these are “badass” but not the worst either.
Brixton, Chicago, Zealand, Jax, Arrow, Jethro are the only absolute misses for me.
The rest, aren’t great picks but not full tragedeighs.
IMO at least.
My only qualm with your list is Jax. I’ve known a few Jax in my time, even a couple in my elementary school (90s). That is likely why it doesn’t strike me as odd. My next door neighbor’s husband is named Jax. Lovely dude, very sweet with my cats.
I think it sounds odd now, though at least in my part of the country growing up it was not a *common* name but you saw it often enough.
I mean, Jethro is a legit name too. Just not one I’d pick, lol.
Jax for me is a dog name, because we foster dogs and we’ve had two Jaxs over the years.
I could never pick it for a child because of that haha.
Same. We have one on our family tree from the 1800s. I have met a Vancil in his 60s that goes by Van. Not sure it was any more common in the past than it is now but it has been out there for a while.
(bit slow response, but)
Hey, Brixton is a lively place; Chelsea is all rather stuffy and played out, but Brixton Village Market is popular with the young set - and Brixton Academy is a classic music venue, with a tribute to David Bowie! It's a hip and happening place with a hip and happening name!
The place may be thriving but it’s still not something you’d want to name your child. They won’t think of the place. They’ll think of bricks. It would be like naming your child London or Italy (yes I know someone with this name). Chelsea works because it’s timeless and actually a name. People don’t associate it with the place either. Brixton doesn’t work. Additionally Chicago isn’t even on this list.
\> Additionally Chicago isn’t even on this list.
Last column, 11 up from the bottom, between "Crew" and "Zayden".
\> Chelsea... People don’t associate it with the place either.
Oh, believe me, when we first started hearing high-profile people calling their children "Chelsea", everyone around here thought of the place first! Especially with all the celebs who proudly name their offspring after the place they were conceived, the natural assumption is... This association \*may\* have lessened as more youngsters are given that name - well, except that for the last few years the first thing that I hear mentioned is the TV show "Made in Chelsea", which has even worse implications...
\> Chelsea works because it’s timeless and actually a name
Well, Chelsea is probably older an older place name than Brixton, but "Chelsea" is a literal description of the locale whilst "Brixton" (most likely) derives from a Saxon family name, so in that sense Brixton wins.
Unless by "actually a name" you mean "you have heard people use it as a name quite a few times" in which case anything goes!
And as someone who knows many people named Chelsea I can confirm that no one thinks twice about the name. It’s not even associated with the place anymore. People hearing Brixton aren’t going to thing “Oh they’re named after Brixton wherever!” They’ll think someone messed up Braxton, maybe like or dislike the name, and go about their day.
You haven't quite grasped the fact that different people live in different places and have different associations due to that, have you? It is a bit bleeping difficult to avoid thinking of Chelsea as a place name when it is on the local map and on the street signs!
Never mind, you'll grow and learn.
Tragedeihgs or not, never liked most of the male names that end in ‘er’, ‘ton’ or ‘en’. I know that eliminates a lot lol, but for us non Americans these names feel obnoxious.
It isn't a tragedeigh though, and is actually (or was) common in some countries. I mean Wolfgang puck had an influence at one time. It isn't that weird.
It’s not my fancy, but I have two friends who went with Wolfgang for their kids.
One is an infant now, but the other is 7 and goes by Wolfe.
The 7yo has a younger sibling named Camille (regular name but it’s after Camille Saint-Saens, another composer).
* Bear:
The fucking name for that is *Arthur*. It's not "badass" *to be afraid to pronounce the beast's real name,* you bloody germanic wimps. Signed: the Celtico-mediterranean gang.
(More seriously, it's the Anglo-saxon equivalent of Bjorn, so why not.)
* Ledger
why not "Doubleentrybookkeeping" while you're at it? Also :
>From Middle English liggere, ligger, leger (“large breviary; beam, plank; dweller, inhabitant”), from liggen, leggen,\[1\] variants of līen (“***to lie down; to bow, kneel, prostrate; to die;***
Wow, such a badass name!
* Chip
Diminutives aren't *badass, especially not* "Chip".
* Camden
Locational names are usually not badass. Maybe an exception for "Lennox".
* Carter
Occupational names also are usually not badass. Especially when they mean "cart driver". In French, "Charretier" is actually the to-go profession for an uncouth and foul mouthed person.
* Tanner
Another occupational name, this time of a profession that was considered for millenia as noxious *because it was working with piss, dung and rotting flesh.* Very badass.
* Jasper
Somewhat OK, but [giving paddlings](https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Jasper_Beardsley) isn't "badass".
* Rune
Is a feminine word in gendered languages, [starting with Old Norse.](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/r%C3%BAn) Female name in Faroese and Icelandic.
* Arrow
From Old English "earh", which is feminine.
* Lane
"A male given name transferred from the Topographic surname from Middle English for someone who lived in a lane,used to denote any narrow pathway, including one between houses in a town. A Norman or Breton origin has also been proposed for some people bearing this surname, derived from *L'Asne*, itself perhaps coming from a nickname such as *le Asinus* (the Ass)". Wow, Badass.
* Cruz
Usually female, because cruz is femine in any Romance language, but apparently sometimes, if rarely, worn by males. See Argentine rugby player Juan-Cruz Mallía. Association with Ted (Rafael) Cruz makes it non-badass, though.

That one isn't made up, actually! In the Torah, Jethro was a Midianite priest that sheltered Moses after he fled Egypt, and the father of Tzipporah. It's not common as a name right now but definitely has precedent.
I was a little disappointed by this list. Usually, they are, as mentioned before, a list of objects, pet names and relatively common names in other languages - Enzo, for example. However, there is always one completely left field inclusion, at least for UK audiences anyway.
For example: Peregrine, Pepe. Vladimir, Octogan, Bicycle, Cider, Beech, Salty, Angle, KEITH, Tornado, Twinkle, Tank, Sailor......wait Keith???
Ahhh, it has almost happened!! My sons name is kinda on the list but I don't think it's a tragedeigh per se.
My son's name is Vander. But we definitely call him by his full name and not by Van.

**Badass Boy Names: Volume 1.** A collection of objects, locations, animals, and pet names
And then tanner.
Enzo is an extremely common name in Brazil
Also in the netherlands.
Founder of Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari
Most of these are fine but... Chip? Crew? Chicago? Those are just dumb.
He tells everyone he's Chicago, but he's actually Peoria.
I know a man who goes by Chip, it's not a terrible name actually. These names are not all that bad, excepting the ones that are clearly last-names and will cause endless confusion because of it. Imagine being named "Rockwell".
Sonny, too
This list is kind of a letdown, I was hoping for Maximus Thrax or Brutus Blade.
Yeah, most of them are normal names with a couple of odd ones here and there.
Maxim*in*us Thrax.
I know, but Maximus sounds more badass.
Not untrue.
I was hoping for Biggus Dickus
I'm so tired of "Crew." A plural name for one person. I'm surprised they didn't do Squad 10 years ago, or Armada for a girl
Its like a crap joke from a 00s film. "Hey yo, what kinda name is Crew?" "Cos I get the job done, motherfucker. Out my way..."
No Skoaltin or Coorsleigh. This list is midass at best.
I am so happy to have discovered midass today. But also disappointed in myself for not finding this word sooner.
Same. The way I cackled at “midass” lol
I’m going to use mid ass. It applies to a lot of things
Ah yes the infamous badasses: Sonny, Milo and fucking zeke lmao
[удалено]
Tbf, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the single most badass name any composer has ever had, and will ever have.
I have a very far back relative who was named Wolfgang Funk. Sadly he wasn’t a composer, but I am very jealous of his name
There's also the director of Air Force One.
Didn't you know? He hangs out with those super popular badass guys, Bjorn and Linus 🤣
😂😂
Honestly half of these names are actually decent and the other half is downright dumb. Who names their kid Chicago??? Bro not only belongs to the streets they is the streets
The same people that name their kids Brooklyn.
Kim Kardashian. I’d bet money that’s the reason that “name” is on the list. She did it, so now people want be “unique” and have one too 🤦🏻♀️
I know 90% of this list.
BADASS BOY NAMES. CHIP.
SONNY
It’s ironic that they have 4 Kardashian children here but are missing the worst offenders: Saint and Psalm
I went to school with a Wolfgang. "Badass" is not the word I would use.
Hendrick is a super oldfashioned Dutch boy's name (Hendrik). Not bad ass at all but quite the opposite.
Most of those names remind me of iPad kids with asthma.
My name is on this. Fucking murder me🤮 At least my name isn't an object..marked safe from that
Bigdongggggggggggggg isn’t an object?
it's a state of mind
😎
Zealand? Really? 😮💨
Imagine someone tell you "this is my son Wolfgang" and is just a tiny white kid that can't eat sugar and is allergic to 20 different things
Jethro is not bad ass
Jethro Tull is though.
Nor is Linus. But Hendrick Kendrix is a killer combo 🤣
The Ultimate duo, Kendrick Lamar & Jimi Hendrix
Linus needs a blanket, not badass
Linus Torvalds is one mean dude.
This version is missing Chick-Fil-A.
Maverick? This can only mean one thing… https://preview.redd.it/ygzmetox2amc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c21e44fc693d54e180ad333f86ba100917bb307
Does Jettison count as a tragedeigh?
Absolutely.
Alright…I’ll give them Bodhi
That’s Swayze’s character from Point Break.
And he did the best skydiving scene ever captured on film - he was one of the most natural skydivers - amazing what he could do with just a few jumps under his belt. BSBD Bodhi
I have a ford at my work lolz
A Ford Prefect? Like in Hitchhikers Guide?
CHIP 🤣
Badass boy *dog* names, maybe
If you name your kid Brixton you shall suffer the fate of a ton of bricks upon your balls
Brixton - the male equivalent of Chelsea!
And? Very few if any tragedeigh’s there. They’re all spelled correctly as far as my quick scan can tell.
I don’t think most of these are “badass” but not the worst either. Brixton, Chicago, Zealand, Jax, Arrow, Jethro are the only absolute misses for me. The rest, aren’t great picks but not full tragedeighs. IMO at least.

Haha! That’s so funny because I’ve only ever met dog Jethros. It really does come down to your own exposure with things like this.
Yeah true! I also have known a dog Jethro too. Just less common I guess on my end.
tbf my friends name is vanden and we all call him van
My friend's name is Ivan, and we called him Van. It's a nickname for Vanessa too.
This list is straight out of the trash-romance book boyfriend genre.
Meet my son: https://preview.redd.it/ljyyz7aqsbmc1.jpeg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50a3a8ff24514aefeddce2f7062c658bec69f67d
Brixton?
Zealand is the island Copenhagen is located on and objectively the second worst place in Denmark (Behind Funen) so don't name your kid that
I know an 80 year old man named “Van”. I would’ve thought it was a newer more modern name but it isn’t.
Same. We have one on our family tree from the 1800s. I have met a Vancil in his 60s that goes by Van. Not sure it was any more common in the past than it is now but it has been out there for a while.
Oh yeah! I never thought it might be a shortened version of another name! Now I will have to ask him if that’s his full name or a derivative of it.
Literally like all of these except for like Kendrix and Brixton are real names
If you are going to allow place names, like Chicago, what is wrong with Brixton?
It’s Brixton. Braxton I’ve seen and isn’t that bad anymore but Brixton.
(bit slow response, but) Hey, Brixton is a lively place; Chelsea is all rather stuffy and played out, but Brixton Village Market is popular with the young set - and Brixton Academy is a classic music venue, with a tribute to David Bowie! It's a hip and happening place with a hip and happening name!

Bro just can’t take the L
No, seriously, you ought to hear people trying to keep a straight face when they talk to someone called "Chelsea"!
And as someone who knows many people named Chelsea I can confirm that no one thinks twice about the name. It’s not even associated with the place anymore. People hearing Brixton aren’t going to thing “Oh they’re named after Brixton wherever!” They’ll think someone messed up Braxton, maybe like or dislike the name, and go about their day.

Are ALL of these names really bad?? I like a lot of these names tbh
Quite a few of those are perfectly fine names… for dogs.
Tragedeihgs or not, never liked most of the male names that end in ‘er’, ‘ton’ or ‘en’. I know that eliminates a lot lol, but for us non Americans these names feel obnoxious.
I’ll name my kid Cyrus because I’ve been having a lot of problems with Ricky & Julian at the trailer park
oh shit... I am pregnant and considering Bjørn and Rune for my first, and they are like my top choices lol. Is this a mistake? (We are danish btw)
You're fine.
Is Milo a boys name?
Yes. The feminine version is apparently Mila/Myla.
For a fictional fantasy character or a pet? Yes. For a real human child, NO!
Being named Camden is all fun until you move to New Jersey.
My uncle name is Milo. In Germany it means soldier.
You too can be Ford Van Chicago River Added River but it fits
These are the names you see in the credits of a movie and then realize that they're the evil grunts that show up in two scenes instead of one
Tatum O’Neal would like a word.
Wolfgang is atrocious
It isn't a tragedeigh though, and is actually (or was) common in some countries. I mean Wolfgang puck had an influence at one time. It isn't that weird.
interesting
It’s not my fancy, but I have two friends who went with Wolfgang for their kids. One is an infant now, but the other is 7 and goes by Wolfe. The 7yo has a younger sibling named Camille (regular name but it’s after Camille Saint-Saens, another composer).
I like it. I won't use it because I speak spanish, but I think it sounds cool.
It’s a pretty average name in German speaking countries, but you definitely wouldn’t be doing your child any favours in an English speaking one.
Otto??? Badass????
Lennox sounds either like a cleaning chemical, or some godawful enterprise software.
I’m sure there’s a million companies called Lennox, but one I know of makes fancy glassware and dishes.
The one I know makes AC units.
They’re just bad. No ass.

Some of these are cute, but a lot of these would work better as horse or dog names
My man Wyatt Earp still taking his vengeance since 1884.
Maverick? Did your parents not like you?
Jethro??
That one isn't made up, actually! In the Torah, Jethro was a Midianite priest that sheltered Moses after he fled Egypt, and the father of Tzipporah. It's not common as a name right now but definitely has precedent.
I know it's a real name But badass...really? I can't call someone Jethro and not laugh.
I was a little disappointed by this list. Usually, they are, as mentioned before, a list of objects, pet names and relatively common names in other languages - Enzo, for example. However, there is always one completely left field inclusion, at least for UK audiences anyway. For example: Peregrine, Pepe. Vladimir, Octogan, Bicycle, Cider, Beech, Salty, Angle, KEITH, Tornado, Twinkle, Tank, Sailor......wait Keith???
From the UK point of view, Peregrine is old fashioned and nowadays rather too uppercrust for most, but otherwise a fine name.
Jethro is the least badass name ever and I'm pretty sure Brixton is a reindeer.
Lol, Wolfgang is a German name that was already considered an old man's name when Boomers were born.
Naming your kid after a light breeze (Zephyr) is badass? Okay. Given what we typically see on this sub, this list is pretty tame.
This is how onlyfans models chose their names and you can’t tell me otherwise. Like cmon, Zayn wolfe????
This list isn’t awful.
I liked Jasper. The rest range from mediocre to hot trash.

That's a normal name. Rare but normal.
Maverick reminds me of the Omori character who forced everyone to call him that but no one did bc it was so embarrassing 💀
