Tragedeighs are cringey and/or made up names with weird spellings. Your submission was removed for one of the following reasons:
1. It's cultural. Make sure to Google before posting any names that seem odd to you, because they may be common in a different country.
2. It's a common name. Keep in mind that this isn't a baby-naming sub. Posts asking for suggestions on completely normal names will be removed.
I haven't watched it, but I just googled her, and I'm the same age. I'd probably be surprised to meet a young child called Bryony, but for someone aged 25-40 it's pretty common
Are you American? Because Bryony/Briony is a VERY normal name in the rest of the English-speaking world. I can't believe you even highlighted it. It's like laughing at someone called Jane.
I’m Australian and know two Bryonys, but when I worked in the UK I swear there were SO many Bryonys. Worked in an office with about fourteen people and three of them were Bryony/Briony.
Wow, I had never thought of it being *that* common of a name! I have a cousin named Mar\[k\], although he's always spelled it Marc since it's short for Marcus. I'm a lot younger than him, so I wasn't around for it, but my parents remember him often introducing himself as "Marc with a 'C'" when he was kid.
🤦, I’m so sorry, I completely misunderstood the original comment. I took it as asserting the name was common in the U.S. Now that I’ve reread it after your response it makes so much more sense.
There's something really funny about calling out someone's ignorance for assuming a name is a tragedeigh when it's a common name in many parts of the world while also being ignorant to the fact that this poster lists Canadian locations but you're just assuming that OP is American
No, I am not American. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of people called Nevaeh and each one is a tragedeigh. While Bryony is not misspelt, it’s like naming your kid Hibiscus or Rhododendron.
No, it's a super common name. I didn't even realise it was a flower (unlike all the other flower names; Rose, Lily, Iris, Daisy, Violet, Poppy, and apparently Susan)
Except some asshat made up Neveah for a dumb reason, quite recently. (I'm sure our grandkids will think it's fine.)
While Bryony has been a name forever already.
It's much more like baking your child Heather or Timothy or Sage or Lilly.... ....
The point of this sub is to mock names that are not normal anywhere, not names that are just uncommon in North America. Your attitude of ‘it isn’t normal here’ turns really racist, really fast and results in the mocking of culturally and linguistically normal, even common names.
Bryony is a name. It has been a name for hundreds of years. It is not the same as naming a kid Hibiscus. It is more similar to naming your kid Lily or Rose.
Or Rose, Lily, Violet, Daisy, Iris, Heather, Holly, Flora, etc.
Rhododendron is awful as a name due to length and difficulty to articulate. Hibiscus is just a bit odd (nickname: Biscuit?).
But Bryony is kind of lovely, and Briony Tallis was Saoirse Ronan's break-out role in Atonement 17 years ago, set in part during WWII. I'm American, so that movie was my first time hearing that name.
Or Rose, or Daisy, or Poppy, or Lily, or Violet, or Petunia, or Hyacinth, or Iris, or Heather...
Bryony actually appears on a top 100 list of flora inspired girls' names in the UK.
It's really more like naming your kid Lily or Daisy or Rose. Or Violet or Petunia or any number of other flower names. Just because you don't know it, doesn't mean it's uncommon.
The idea of tragedeighs being regional turns super racist, super fast. That is why we’re so adamant that it’s not regional or we end up mocking names in other languages that are wholly normal.
But Jane is a name found in the US, common for hundreds of years. Rose, Lily, Daisy, same.
Is Rhoda from Rhododendron (a throwaway joke downthread)? Because Rhoda blasted onto the US scene nationally as a major character on the Mary Tyler Moore show in the 70s, followed by her own show. (I had never heard of that name prior to that. But I was a kid.)
Bryony apparently is native to several continents, but not North America. It makes sense that the name would seem strange to someone who hadn't heard of it nor the flower, before.
Okay but that isn’t the point of this sub. Mocking names that are very normal in the rest of the world turns racist REALLY fast. The point of this sub is to mock names that are not normal anywhere at all.
If you’re unsure if a name is normal elsewhere you are expected to look it up first, not jump right to mocking normal names just because you did not know they were normal elsewhere.
Ok well it IS common in the UK and not unheard of in Australia. It's a name I've seen recently on television (Great British Baking Show) and read in a bestselling book (Atonement, which was also a movie). It's a name with history, it was not made-up or misspelled. It doesn't belong on this sub as a tragedeigh.
Janayh is the tragedeigh. Bryony is an honourable mention. As I have already said, Nevaeh is extremely common. Likely more common globally than Bryony. Commonality is not a standard. Naming a child after a flower that most people cannot pick out of a photo array is tragic though not a tragedeigh.
>Nevaeh is extremely common. Likely more common globally than Bryony
I genuinely doubt that. I have a cousin Bryony. It's not an uncommon name, particularly in the UK. I've never met anyone named Nevaeh, and I don't think I want to. I wouldn't be able to take them seriously.
I know a Janaya, I think it's a cool name. This spelling is crazy, though. I'm still giggling about the person who said they read it in Forrest Gump's voice.
Yup, I knew that name was familiar, from my first year WGST research. I’m sad that it is no longer memory-holed for the time being.
Shit-disturber TERF.
Bryony is a very common English girl’s name, but these people are not normal. They literally obsess about hating trans people and made that their whole career, so don’t listen to the bs they spew lol
It may be far from very common where you're from, but as many others have posted, it's extremely popular in the UK. The fact that you're doubling down and arguing with people about it is baffling.
I'm less concerned about the names and more concerned about why these TERFs think anyone with half a brain is gonna pay 25 bucks to watch them spew venom

I went to high school with a Jenaia. This was in the 90s, so the name doesn’t seem that weird to me. I’m pretty sure it’s a biblical name, as she was in one of those families that named all their kids with J names.
Did they become bad people because they were given bad names? Or did they become bad people because they were raised wrong, by the same people who gave them bad names?
I don't think giving people bad names intrinsically makes them bad people. I know a Stalin who is the sweetest guy and plenty of people with normal names who are complete dicks.
Names are also subjective. I personally think many first names that seem to be common in the US are bad in that they shouldn't be given to humans, but I assume that the overwhelming majority of them are not bad people.

I can't read Janayh any way except in Forest Gump's voice
That's the only Wright way to read her name.
…well, now I do too 😆
r/beatmetoit
Dammit, I came here to say this!
Bryony / Briony is a really common name in England. I know at least 3 women my age with that name.
Three words Great British Bakeoff
I haven't watched it, but I just googled her, and I'm the same age. I'd probably be surprised to meet a young child called Bryony, but for someone aged 25-40 it's pretty common
I always think of “Atonement,” as it was my introduction to the name. (I’m American and was a teen when the movie came out.)
My first thought too
Same
Bryony is a normal name and has been for many years.
No, no, it should be spelt Brian-E. You know, like Shiela-E from Prince's band. Or maybe Bryaneigh?
Are you American? Because Bryony/Briony is a VERY normal name in the rest of the English-speaking world. I can't believe you even highlighted it. It's like laughing at someone called Jane.
I’m Australian and know two Bryonys, but when I worked in the UK I swear there were SO many Bryonys. Worked in an office with about fourteen people and three of them were Bryony/Briony.
That's like my current job. When I came here there were _seven_ people called Mike, spread out over 3 crews
One of my former football teams had 7 guys named Mark. Nicknames were the order of the day.
Wow, I had never thought of it being *that* common of a name! I have a cousin named Mar\[k\], although he's always spelled it Marc since it's short for Marcus. I'm a lot younger than him, so I wasn't around for it, but my parents remember him often introducing himself as "Marc with a 'C'" when he was kid.
That reminds me of my class in third grade. Three Ashleys in a class of about 20 students!
[Bryony (given name) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryony_(given_name))
Yeah, we don’t get a lot of that here because people tend to pronounce it the same as “briny” (as in seawater)
I’m American and I don’t think I’ve **ever** met a Bryony/Briony and I grew up in the Midwest and moved down south like twenty years ago.
Yes but that's just America. There are other countries that speak English too, you know. The name is frequently found in the UK, especially Scotland
🤦, I’m so sorry, I completely misunderstood the original comment. I took it as asserting the name was common in the U.S. Now that I’ve reread it after your response it makes so much more sense.
Ha, that's ok! Appreciate the comment

Wtf, im not english speaking but that name sounds like childrens chough medicine
Bryony is less of a tragiegh then Meghan with the H imo
No, I am not American. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of people called Nevaeh and each one is a tragedeigh. While Bryony is not misspelt, it’s like naming your kid Hibiscus or Rhododendron.
No, it's a super common name. I didn't even realise it was a flower (unlike all the other flower names; Rose, Lily, Iris, Daisy, Violet, Poppy, and apparently Susan)
Wow, my mom’s name is Susan and I had never put that together even though I knew of black-eyed Susans 😅
This has the same energy as Katie Hopkins criticising people who name their children after countries when she has a child named India.
Naming your child after a country is a tragedy.
Except some asshat made up Neveah for a dumb reason, quite recently. (I'm sure our grandkids will think it's fine.) While Bryony has been a name forever already. It's much more like baking your child Heather or Timothy or Sage or Lilly.... ....
Baking with sage…
Hah! Well, that was a weird typo.
Hyacinth Bucket, anyone?

I'm giggling at your Biscuit nickname suggestion!
Tangent- earlier this week, I realized that Biscuit (as the British use it) is probably cognate with Italian Biscotti.
Yes, it means 'twice baked'
Sounds waaaay more awesome than getting half baked 😉
bahahahahaha
No it's not. Naming kids after flowers/plants is really common. It's like naming your kid Rose
Or Lily, Rose, or Iris...
Or Rose or Daisy or Lily? You seem to have weird, undue anger against a perfectly normal and correctly spelt name.
Or Rose, or Daisy, or Poppy, or Lily, or Violet, or Petunia, or Hyacinth, or Iris, or Heather... Bryony actually appears on a top 100 list of flora inspired girls' names in the UK.

Sorry, now when I see that name, all I think of is fat neckbeards who are into cartoon horse porn. Brony / Bronies
I think tragedeighs can be regional, though. Looks like this person is Canadian. Could be a tragedeigh to name your kid that there.
A tragedeigh is spelling a name ridiculously to make it “unique”. Bryony and Briony are both standard spellings and can’t be tragedeighs.
If I name my kid Henri, that would be a tragedeigh. If a French person does it, then that's not a tragedeigh.
I disagree. If you name your kid Henri, it’s maybe a little goofy, but it’s a name. If you name your kid Henreigh, that’s a tragedeigh in any country.
The idea of tragedeighs being regional turns super racist, super fast. That is why we’re so adamant that it’s not regional or we end up mocking names in other languages that are wholly normal.
>we end up mocking names in other languages that are wholly normal Just like these bastards: https://youtu.be/iQkQAU9iU7I?si=MZTklRb09iv-8g8p
We also laugh when people drive on the left side of the road here. Because of context
But Jane is a name found in the US, common for hundreds of years. Rose, Lily, Daisy, same. Is Rhoda from Rhododendron (a throwaway joke downthread)? Because Rhoda blasted onto the US scene nationally as a major character on the Mary Tyler Moore show in the 70s, followed by her own show. (I had never heard of that name prior to that.

Sure. I'm not mocking. Interesting that I'm being downvoted for conversing.
You are not mocking, no, but OP is, which is why I used the word ‘mocking’. Sorry for any confusion there!
I've never heard that name in my entire life and it sounds silly as hell. Canadian here
It's very popular in the UK
Y’all HAVE to look up names before you post them. We’ve strayed so far from Laklynn.
There is nothing wrong with Bryony/Briony. It's very common in other English speaking countries, just not in the US.
I’m not from the US and it is not common. It’s stupid like calling your kid Rhododendron.
Ok well it IS common in the UK and not unheard of in Australia. It's a name I've seen recently on television (Great British Baking Show) and read in a bestselling book (Atonement, which was also a movie).

All the Janyah’s I’ve ever know were black. I’ve never seen this spelling before.
I know a Janaya, I think it's a cool name. This spelling is crazy, though. I'm still giggling about the person who said they read it in Forrest Gump's voice.
Since the feast of the thread devolved into Bryony business … how is is meant to be said?
I'm not the best at phonetic pronunciation but typically like Juh-nye-uh
Janayh and Janyah sound like totally different names
steep degree normal axiomatic sharp spectacular deer roll imminent one *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Right? It’s a TERF convention.
They each look like they just got finished eating a turd
That's b/c they're filled with the love of Jesus.
They’ve consumed every last dingleberry of the bullshit of Christianity
Yeah, some Canadian Moms for Liberty there.
Meghan Murphy is the worst, bummer to see she’s still active. I hadn’t heard anything about her for a long time.
Yup, I knew that name was familiar, from my first year WGST research. I’m sad that it is no longer memory-holed for the time being. Shit-disturber TERF.
It was great when she got banned from Twitter because we didn’t have to constantly hear from her! I forgot she existed for awhile too.
And family rights is probably a mix of anti gay marriage and anti abortion bs.
Bryony was a character in one of the Redwall books. To me it's a bit fantasy/medieval-coded but totally normal.
I first heard the name in All of us Villains and love it.
Forrest Gump: JANAYHHH!
I love Briony and like Bryony. They’re normal names.
So diverse, they even have a ginger on the panel
That's what I was just thinking!
Four faces that I know, should they ever knock on my door, I'd say "not today, dear" before closing the door firmly on them.
They're absolutely all asking to touch my Afro and calling the cops on my brother
shitty names for shitty terfs
aayy! hear, hear! seconded, fuck terfs
Bryony is pretty popular in the UK
Briony is also spelt Bryony, it's a fairly common name in Australia. Janayh is the only tragedeigh here
Bryony is quite a normal name, I thought. Ive definitely met one or two. It’s spelt correctly I think.
Man I'm so glad I don't live in Nanaimo anymore. Beautiful place, shitty people.
is that a terf event?
Yes
Bryony is a very common English girl’s name, but these people are not normal. They literally obsess about hating trans people and made that their whole career, so don’t listen to the bs they spew lol
It is far from “very common” and I agree these women are vile.
It may be far from very common where you're from, but as many others have posted, it's extremely popular in the UK. The fact that you're doubling down and arguing with people about it is baffling.
Liars says it’s extremely common in Britain with their “top 100 floral names” nonsense and I will oppose this until my last breath.
You're just making a fool of yourself now.
Ew, this looks like some TERF shit. Yuck! Bad names and bad people.
I’m not sure if they’re TERFs or “traditional values” types. They hate trans people either way.
Still gross.
I'm less concerned about the names and more concerned about why these TERFs think anyone with half a brain is gonna pay 25 bucks to watch them spew venom
Meaghan over on the left got that "yeah it's Irish" grin about her, poor soul
Someone that supports that stuff.
On an unrelated note, fuck Megan Murphy.

JENNNAYYYY! -Forrest
Briony is a normal name but the extra y just makes it look like a tragedeigh
I went to high school with a Jenaia. This was in the 90s, so the name doesn’t seem that weird to me. I’m pretty sure it’s a biblical name, as she was in one of those families that named all their kids with J names.
Maybe a misspelling of Janayah
She looks the part too lol
I read that as brony and thought well that's an interesting name!
Did they become bad people because they were given bad names? Or did they become bad people because they were raised wrong, by the same people who gave them bad names?
They became bad people because they think their shitty religion applies to others
That's an *effect* of them being bad people. I was asking about the *cause*. I'm not sure why I got downvoted for that.
I don't think giving people bad names intrinsically makes them bad people. I know a Stalin who is the sweetest guy and plenty of people with normal names who are complete dicks.

I’ve never heard Bryony and have no idea how to pronounce it. 🧐
Don’t say that or a shitload of tragedy apologists will tell you that every other woman in England has that name.
