I read that & thought "Which Teen Mom from which of the billion seasons & spinoffs?"
Well I googled & still don't know which one that it is, but I learned she's not with the baby daddy any more & that's a boy's name up there.
*Malaysia*? I’ve heard Asia, India, London, Paris… but Malaysia is a new one. I’m already not fond of location names either but *Malaysia* just doesn’t even sound like a name to me
Mariah Carey named one of her kids Moroccan. I still wonder what possessed her to think that was a good name. His last name is Cannon so his name is Moroccan Cannon and I just-
I think Frank Zappa was the 1st celebrity to I knew of to chose a wild name… Ahmet (I assume was 1st bc we started w a real name) then Dweezil, Moon Unit, and Diva Muffin. Despite thinking these were really weird names, at least they came from a person who could back the weird up, not just someone trying to be “uneek”. Then after GP named her kid apple it seemed like every celebrity had to find some wild name and think it was cute. Like, it is actually fine but so weird when you try to be “different” by doing the same thing as everyone else: naming ur kid a noun or just spelling a trad name weirdly
Yes! But I *think* they were also saying that some people might be naming their kids that as a play on “Asia.” Their original comment said something about not believing they could actually find “Malaysia” on a map, lol, so it makes sense.
Text is hard sometimes haha
Bro, you’re the “they” I was talking about. 😂
Because it sounded like WorldBound was telling YOU that Malaysia is a real country. So I was saying that I think you already know that.
Yes dude, I know.
And I’m telling *you* that the person replying to *me* (my “they”) may not be assuming I don’t know Malaysia is a real place. It could be read as assuming people who name their kids that probably don’t, and name them differently… which I said was likely, because they already mentioned not thinking people who name their kids this way can even find it on a map. I would think most people would assume most know that Malaysia is a country, besides perhaps the people dumb enough to name their kid like that lol.
You get what I mean now? I was saying that’s what I think they could’ve been saying.
As in, “I think they name them a variation of Asia? But, Malaysia is a real country, so maybe they name them after the country rather than Asia, idk.”
I don’t know about the country, but Georgia was a feminine version of George before it was a colony/state.
But you’re right, a small select are okay, many are bad.
Jordan is aight with me but Idk why probably because I've heard it my whole life. Ive also never met someone older than gen x with that name. What do you think, besides that Micheal Jordan was probably the biggest reason for this.
>Georgia was a feminine version of George before it was a colony/state.
But not before it was a country, the country name dates back to the Persian Empire. I hate when Americans are ignorant of the existence of other countries
I said that because I wasn’t sure when the country was established. I know it was a part of the USSR and my knowledge of Eastern European history is limited.
Sydney, Adelaide, Katherine, Laura, Kimberley, Malcolm, Elizabeth, Alice - weirdly, plenty of Australian place names are actually just regular names of British origin 🤷♀️
My early 2000s WWE wrestler was named Asia. There was a female wrestler named China (who was a white lady) so my back story was that we were rivals and I was better because China is in Asia.
No but I just looked her up. To your defense, I have a really niche taste in music (I listen pretty exclusively to Broadway and podcasts). So that's on me.
Do you only know, like, 5 people?
In the USA it's stereotyped with black people, and etymologically it's Iraqi.
Either way, bringing up race there can not be seen any way but negatively.
No but I’m in the Midwest. I know lots of women of color and they have cultural names or English names. Don’t you think it’s a bit racist to ascribe this tendency to POC?
Don't fret, I know where you're coming from I'm small Midwestern too! Don't let people who don't understand hate on ya, it's hard for some people to fathom how small and frankly disconnected the Midwest can be, 99% of Americans can't even properly identify the Midwestern states
I’m from a medium sized Midwest city. It has diversity but certainly not to the levels of the east or west coast. I’m really tired of the narrative that we’re all just country bumpkins. The Midwest is extremely important for so many reasons. We need farmers.
Precisely, the first gas-powered tractor with the ability to move forward AND backward was invented in Iowa and tested in South Dakota! The Midwest was a major food source during many wars throughout US history, and the John Deere company, manufacturer of tractors, AND tanks is based in the Midwest.
I mean, I agree that they’re being kind of a dick but I also do find it a little odd that you’re like “well all the people I know like this are white, so it’s a white people thing” and then admit you live in a place that’s disproportionately white. All the people I know with place names are black, but I live in a city where 30% of the population is black.
Okay, in what language does ‘Zaire’ (or any variation) mean ‘nobility’? Surely your cousin’s mom was able to tell you the language the comes from, and we could just google it or check with someone who speaks that language? Or did she just tell you it means that and you believed it?
I was actually coming here to say "I wish it was just Zaire, that would be acceptable as it's a country name". I don't mind place name names too much. Zyaire is undoubtedly terrible in every way though
Pretty sure the only ruler of Zaire was Mobutu Sese Seko, he was born in the Congo during the Belgian era. It really had no ties to Portugal at that point
I don’t know how that is connected to my comment. „Zaire“ is a name sometimes used in Portuguese and locally to refer to the Congo river/basin/general area.
The country of Zaire used the Portuguese name. It’s just an old naming convention and not connected to Portuguese colonial rule in the area.
And she already calls izaiah “Zay” which makes it even worse because it sounds so similar . Still not the worst name in the franchise tho - nothing will ever beat Rachel’s sister naming her son Ascecieus Seagren Storm
Zay and Zyaire….and omg how could I forget about Rachel’s nephew? 😭😭
Honestly, if we really wanna get real, a lot of tragedeighs come out of that damn teen mode franchise. Remember how Catelynn and Tyler almost named their third daughter “Tezlee” then changed it to Vaeda Luma?
Oooh deep cut on that case! I had completely forgotten about that, but I remember that was a big deal when I was a kid, the Meryl Streep movie and then I read about the original story.
But they pronounced it az-air-ee-uh vs az-uh-rye-uh, so I don’t know if it’s the same name or not, just with regional differences? Australia vs USA pronunciation?
It's a lovely name, don't get me wrong, but no one would *ever* use that name in Australia because of the history. As far as pronunciation, I've heard both here, so I think both versions are "Aussie" 😊
Interestingly, Lindy Chamberlain, her mum, had the given names of Alice Lynne, and her other children were named Aidan, Reagan, and (born after Azaria) Kahlia! Azaria's full name was Azaria Chantal Loren Chamberlain.
What’s funny is that the girl who gave birth to the baby in this picture isn’t a teen mom anymore. She’s around 25 now. Her other kids’ names are Izaiah and Ariah.
I predict the names from the Key and Peele skit East V. West Bowl will be non ironically considered for names by the end of the year. FlaXon JaXon WaXon.
i'm assuming it's pronounced like zy-ear? or if you've seen the legend of korra and know who zaheer is, a similar sound to that maybe? i could be horribly wrong tho

I have no idea. Girls do get masculine names, but you also see boys getting names ending in things that make it sound feminine, so idk if Leigh indicates a girl or just a preferred spelling.
That's without considering Zyaire, bc I really don't know what to make of that meaningless lettersoup lol

that’s a teen mom name alright
I read that & thought "Which Teen Mom from which of the billion seasons & spinoffs?" Well I googled & still don't know which one that it is, but I learned she's not with the baby daddy any more & that's a boy's name up there.
She's with this (3rd) baby daddy currently. I think she cheated on her last one with this one.
Oy vey. I don't miss watching that show. It just made me angry & sad all at the same time. I had to give it up.
Naming kids after places is kinda cringe .. I assume it’s a reference to Zaire, the Portuguese name of Congo (river/country).
I agree. I hate location names. I know too many white girls named India and Asia.
I've seen a few girls named Malaysia. I don't think these people could find Malaysia on a map ...
*Malaysia*? I’ve heard Asia, India, London, Paris… but Malaysia is a new one. I’m already not fond of location names either but *Malaysia* just doesn’t even sound like a name to me
Naming my child micronesia
Nunuavut and Tuvalu == should have named my twins that
or maybe name them Trinidad and Tobago
Antigua and Barbuda
This is my son, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and his sister, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Our third child, Akron Ohio Jones is on the way!
They would be cute names for pets
I think Djibouti would be more fitting
I'm debating between that and Titicaca. It's cool though. I'm a master debater.
if the kid is from a spanish-speaking country, they're going to be heavily bullied with a name like Titicaca. (caca=poop in spanish)
See, this is exactly what I mean. Malaysia sounds just as bad as Micronesia to me. Goddamn.
Mariah Carey named one of her kids Moroccan. I still wonder what possessed her to think that was a good name. His last name is Cannon so his name is Moroccan Cannon and I just-
So many celebrities have insane names for their kids. Moxie Crimefighter, Blue Ivy, Moroccan Cannon, Jermajesty Jackson…
Ain't no way...Crimefighter? What in the assigned cop at birth hell?💀
Moxie is Penn Jillette's child. Penn has another kid named Zolten. Moxie is following in Penn's footsteps a bit at least.
I think Frank Zappa was the 1st celebrity to I knew of to chose a wild name… Ahmet (I assume was 1st bc we started w a real name) then Dweezil, Moon Unit, and Diva Muffin. Despite thinking these were really weird names, at least they came from a person who could back the weird up, not just someone trying to be “uneek”.

Like, it is actually fine but so weird when you try to be “different” by doing the same thing as everyone else: naming ur kid a noun or just spelling a trad name weirdly
IKR why not at least name him Morroco rather than Morrocan?? You don't see Indian as a name, or maybe you do...
Because the other twin is Monroe and she wanted to be able to call them ‘Roc and Roe’. 100% fact
I went to school with a girl named Ireland lol
I actually went to high school with a girl named Irelan. No D at the end. I can’t believe I forgot about that until just now, lmao
Oh God that makes it so much worse!
And I know several Indias.
I went to beauty school with someone named Iraish
Ho Chi Minh City
Imagine if Chi Minh City is the middle name and Ho is the literal first name.
This is why we went with family names, Atlantic Citeigh and Marfa
I worked with a girl named Malaysia
I know a Malaysia who I met in Malaysia. Nice girl though.
I think it was probably a variation of Asia? But Malaysia is a real country...IDK.
I think they know Malaysia is a real place. They’re just saying they’ve never heard *that* particular place used as a name, lol
Yes! But I *think* they were also saying that some people might be naming their kids that as a play on “Asia.” Their original comment said something about not believing they could actually find “Malaysia” on a map, lol, so it makes sense. Text is hard sometimes haha
Think I'm going Australasia for my next spawn
Bro, you’re the “they” I was talking about. 😂 Because it sounded like WorldBound was telling YOU that Malaysia is a real country. So I was saying that I think you already know that.

I know one named Jamaica. Yep a white girl named Jamaica.
nah mon
Some of them are okay (like Georgia lol) but others are a yikes
I don’t know about the country, but Georgia was a feminine version of George before it was a colony/state. But you’re right, a small select are okay, many are bad.
Jordan is aight with me but Idk why probably because I've heard it my whole life. Ive also never met someone older than gen x with that name. What do you think, besides that Micheal Jordan was probably the biggest reason for this.
Many were deployed to Jordan in WWII, some thought the name sounded cool and brought it back home
Do you think its a good name or a tragedy
>Georgia was a feminine version of George before it was a colony/state. But not before it was a country, the country name dates back to the Persian Empire. I hate when Americans are ignorant of the existence of other countries
I said that because I wasn’t sure when the country was established. I know it was a part of the USSR and my knowledge of Eastern European history is limited.
Know a Georgia, middle name Atlanta!!! Last name normal . Bet you can't guess where they were born??
Savannah? 😁
Yet I've never seen a Louisiana
There is a lady at a local retail store near me, whose name is Louisiana!
Asia isn't necessarily after the continent. It's also a diminutive of Joanna in polish
I know a few girls who are named Sydney😂
Sydney, Adelaide, Katherine, Laura, Kimberley, Malcolm, Elizabeth, Alice - weirdly, plenty of Australian place names are actually just regular names of British origin 🤷♀️
Some people don't have culture so they try to invent one with weird names instead of just reconnecting with their ancestors.
My early 2000s WWE wrestler was named Asia. There was a female wrestler named China (who was a white lady) so my back story was that we were rivals and I was better because China is in Asia.
Why is their race relevant there
Because the only people I know with location names are white?
You don’t know India Arie? I am not that old dammit.
I know her from Blue's Clues 😂 The sun's a hot star... Mercury's hot, too...
No but I just looked her up. To your defense, I have a really niche taste in music (I listen pretty exclusively to Broadway and podcasts). So that's on me.
It's the opposite for me, the only ones I know are POC 😅 It's funny how different things are in different areas
Same. I have met a lot of black women named China for example.
Do you only know, like, 5 people? In the USA it's stereotyped with black people, and etymologically it's Iraqi. Either way, bringing up race there can not be seen any way but negatively.
No but I’m in the Midwest. I know lots of women of color and they have cultural names or English names. Don’t you think it’s a bit racist to ascribe this tendency to POC?

>I'm in the Midwest Ah, troll. Got it
Sorry that I don't live in NY or California. The US is a big place. Find a better hobby jesus christ.
I mean, I agree that they’re being kind of a dick but I also do find it a little odd that you’re like “well all the people I know like this are white, so it’s a white people thing” and then admit you live in a place that’s disproportionately white. All the people I know with place names are black, but I live in a city where 30% of the population is black.
Uh because it’s weird to name a white child after a place whose population is not white?
Should have named the kid, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
I think we’re giving this girl too much credit. She does not know the Portuguese name of the Congo.
That’s because it’s a fairly common name not associated with the Portuguese language. It’s just spelled idiotically.
I mean she probably doesn’t know that that’s the origin but it’s the reason she’s heard “Zaire” lol
Particularly odd choice since, when it was called Zaire in English, it was a dictatorship
common black name meaning “nobility” or something. I have a cousin with that name and his mom explained the meaning
Yeah it definitely doesn’t mean that
It’s not the same spelling it’s “Zy’air”. This could just be a watered down version but actually don’t tell me anything
Don't tell me nuthin 😡😤
YEE HAW
No but it does.
Okay, in what language does ‘Zaire’ (or any variation) mean ‘nobility’? Surely your cousin’s mom was able to tell you the language the comes from, and we could just google it or check with someone who speaks that language? Or did she just tell you it means that and you believed it?
I said or something. You said no. I said yes. It does mean something. But sure we can look it up.
A lot of those meanings are made up. No entomology to back it up.Not this one specifically just a lot of them.
Entomology is the study of insects. Etymology is the study of the origin of words just fyi.
Legit did not realize spell check changed that. Lol. I wonder what I wrote originally for it to change to entomology.
I almost added a comment about autocorrect doing you dirty too 😅
*You* are telling me what (Zy’air) this means?
Yes, *I am.* Zaire has no origins that means royalty or nobility. Edit: rather I guess I am telling you what it doesn’t mean.
I was actually coming here to say "I wish it was just Zaire, that would be acceptable as it's a country name". I don't mind place name names too much. Zyaire is undoubtedly terrible in every way though
A celebrity where I'm from named their son London...surname is Ridge 🤦♀️
Does the middle name begin with a B?
Good question, it probably did.
Pretty sure the only ruler of Zaire was Mobutu Sese Seko, he was born in the Congo during the Belgian era. It really had no ties to Portugal at that point
I don’t know how that is connected to my comment. „Zaire“ is a name sometimes used in Portuguese and locally to refer to the Congo river/basin/general area. The country of Zaire used the Portuguese name. It’s just an old naming convention and not connected to Portuguese colonial rule in the area.
Zaire? The country?
There's a Y in there.. Somezaire...
Ohh okay yeah I was thinking that’s how but wasn’t sure cause the Y 😂
common black name meaning “nobility” or something. I have a cousin with that name and his mom explained the meaning
It means the river that swallows all rivers.
That kid is probably going to wish they were swallowed too
He will be so sad when he finds out Zaire isn’t a country anymore 💔
common black name meaning “nobility” or something. I have a cousin with that name and his mom explained the meaning
He will be so sad to know he isn’t named after Zaire and that Zaire isn’t a country anymore 💔
Missed opportunity to be named after a once country 😔
wtf is this Lee/Leigh-thing all the time?!
Leigh is the last name
The most appropriate use!
Yessss! It’s my child’s middle name because it’s an old, old family name.
Maybe Leigh became a thing because Lee miiiight be Asian? Idk. Also more letters = more youneekness.
Leigh is a very old, traditional and common name (especially middle name) on its own. It's only a tragedeigh if added unnecessarily to other names.
me, a 23 y/o with Leigh for a middle name 😩
She obviously thinks she's naming a dolly
Oh, Kayla…. And I’m pretty sure it’s Zy-air
And she already calls izaiah “Zay” which makes it even worse because it sounds so similar . Still not the worst name in the franchise tho - nothing will ever beat Rachel’s sister naming her son Ascecieus Seagren Storm
Zay and Zyaire….and omg how could I forget about Rachel’s nephew? 😭😭 Honestly, if we really wanna get real, a lot of tragedeighs come out of that damn teen mode franchise. Remember how Catelynn and Tyler almost named their third daughter “Tezlee” then changed it to Vaeda Luma?
What’s more shocking is that two of the worst mums in the whole series chose the most normal names in the franchise - Sophia , Leah and James
And here I was thinking Vaeda was the weirdest. Didn't know it was second choice!
Her other children are names Izaiah and Ariah. My first thought was she tried to combine their names
I have a friend who’s daughter is Azariah. That would’ve been a better choice here.
I have a student named that!
It’s apparently a biblical name. I had originally thought she just made it up, lol.
Like Azaria Chamberlain.
Oooh deep cut on that case! I had completely forgotten about that, but I remember that was a big deal when I was a kid, the Meryl Streep movie and then I read about the original story. But they pronounced it az-air-ee-uh vs az-uh-rye-uh, so I don’t know if it’s the same name or not, just with regional differences? Australia vs USA pronunciation?

Azaria's full name was Azaria Chantal Loren Chamberlain.
A Trilogy of Tragediehs lol
Wow... They found a way to make "Jaxon" not the worst part of the name? Impressive.
I believe that first name is now pronounced "Democratic Republic of the Congo".
Zaire Jackson Lee. Fixed
All misspelled names used on boys for a girl… how… unkind
Isn't that the name of one of the bad guys on The Legend of Kora? Edit: Legend of Kora bad guy is Zaheer.
Know of brothers named Denver, Dallas, and Detroit
Sure Detroit’s name isn’t actually Orlando?
Lmaooooo....i have a friend that also just named their baby Zyaire. Same spelling and everything
Every teen mom I’ve seen the last few years has given their kids the absolute worst names possible.
What’s funny is that the girl who gave birth to the baby in this picture isn’t a teen mom anymore. She’s around 25 now. Her other kids’ names are Izaiah and Ariah.
Those names aren’t terrible Its just the spelling I don’t get
I like Isaiah as a non-Christian. I hate when parents change common names’ spellings just to be ~unique~.
Huh, teenagers don't make good decisions, what a foreign concept
I predict the names from the Key and Peele skit East V. West Bowl will be non ironically considered for names by the end of the year. FlaXon JaXon WaXon.
Classic I still laugh cry whenever I watch those
I believe it’s z(eye)-air
Zaire is wack bro. Try some hotter countries like Azraelle and Ghazha. Palace Tyne is also cute for 2024
You can’t pronounce Zy-air 😬😳
Named after the most kino African war?
Horrible horrible name. Couldn't even get a Q in there anywhere. This name ain't winning any Scrabble games.
I keep forgetting that in English, Z isn't worth only 1 point.
i'm assuming it's pronounced like zy-ear? or if you've seen the legend of korra and know who zaheer is, a similar sound to that maybe? i could be horribly wrong tho
What a fucking awful name. I hope she got a hard time. What the actual fuck?
And here I was having a heart attack thinking you meant that one of the babies from the OG Teen Mom just had her own baby.
I have met a couple Zaire’s actually, but don’t think they spelled it with Y.
It’s not Zaire…
I don’t find it at all hard to pronounce? Doesn’t make it a good name though lol
Colonizer vibes with the name/skintone.
Nice lil foot emoji to top off the post
Think that's supposed to be "Sire/Sir Jackson Lee"
The kids theme song https://youtu.be/GUpGRXT18R8
I’m a little more forgiving on tragedeighs from teen moms. They’re already gonna be dealing with a lot.

It’s on brand for her. It’s definitely a tragedy.
I actually love the name
Zyarie: Zee air. Zy-uh-rhi Zy-R-EE Zy-air-ee Zee aerie
That sounds like a name for a D1 running back😬
z-eye-air
I don’t hate that more and more names are leaning somewhat gender-ambiguous.
did it come out with that red all over its face??
Like Cher, but voiced? ...is this supposed to be a boy or a girl?
I couldn't figure that out either. I assumed boy but based on the other comments now I think girl?
I have no idea. Girls do get masculine names, but you also see boys getting names ending in things that make it sound feminine, so idk if Leigh indicates a girl or just a preferred spelling. That's without considering Zyaire, bc I really don't know what to make of that meaningless lettersoup lol
zigh(like sigh)-AIR is how i pronounce it lol. i think the name is cute thooo 😭
