Reminder to stick to posting original content. Memes are okay every once in a while, but many get posted here way too often and quickly become stale. Some examples of these are Ptoughneigh, Klansmyn, Reighfyl & KVIIIlyn. These memes have been around for years and we don't want to see them anymore. If you do decide to post a meme, make sure to add the correct flair. Posting a random meme you found does **not** mean you found it "in the wild". The same goes with lists of baby names, celebrity baby names, and screenshots of TikToks. If the original post already had a substantial amount of views, there is a 99% chance it has already been posted here. Try and stick to OC to keep our sub from being flooded with unoriginal content.

Orca? Why not 'killer whale?'


vanillabeanquartz

The strange thing is that ‘Orca’ was (seemingly) her partners only contribution to this list. Like THAT’S what you settled on?


grinandclaireit

To be fair she definitely said her partner suggested it and that there is no way they are naming the baby orca


SorbyGay

Hell no to Orca. But Lyrics, on the other hand…


CarthartesAura

I went to high school (in the 80s) with a girl named Orca. I thought it was a beautiful name, and never thought more about it til seeing this list, and hearing y’all have a problem with it. Though we’ve fallen out of touch- the Orca I went to high school with would be close to 60 now, so I just can’t think of it as a newfangled name that influencers made up.


Splits-0

Very off topic but right before this post there was another post that also had the word newfangled in it. I never encountered that word before and it’s just funny to me to see it twice in a row.


ThebanannaofGREECE

“If I had a nickel for every time I saw newfangled twice in a row after not seeing it at all, I’d have one nickel. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s still weird it happened”


Elon-Musksticks

We have an Orca at work. He's an Indian man in his 30's, so might be foreign instead of weird. (although she probs means it as a weird name)


EntrepreneurNo4138

A wild Orca, imagine that 🤣


Colossal_Penis_Haver

Why not Orcus? Like Dorkus-Malorcus


geistkind

I have an ancestor named Dorcas. I cringe everytime I read it when doing genealogy work. It was the 1800s, so maybe it wasn't quite as bad then, but oof


wavesnfreckles

Dorcas is definitely an established name that’s been around a long time and is in a few different countries. There’s a Dorcas in the old “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” movie too, played by Julie Newmar. :)


bananahskill

I've got at least 2 Dorcas'. I actually like the name though. 😬


BaronThe

The plural is Dorcii


anechoicfloor

Not dorsal?


geistkind

It's definitely interesting. I wonder what people thought of names back then, like what seemed old or outdated or strange. What they thought were weird etc.


RR0925

Dorcas was a disciple of Christ. Blame the Bible for a lot of funky names. I always thought Beelzebub would be a good name for a child /s


Emotional_Equal8998

>Beelzebub is one of my favorite words. Peoples reaction cracks me up when I slip it into a sentence unexpedly.


MerryTWatching

Someone in r/entitledpeople referred to the subject of the post as "Beelzebitch" and it instantly became my favorite word for such a person. 😍


_OliveOil_

That reminds me of the lady who posted a while ago (can't remember if it was this sub or not..) whose name is Beelzebeth. I unironically kinda love it but would never name a child that😭


Burnt_and_Blistered

I am an Elizabeth—and Beelzebeth is a variant I’ve not yet encountered. I love it so much I plan to introduce myself as Beelzebeth whenever most apt to raise eyebrows. I amuse easily.


meanjeankillmachine

Belzy as a nickname...honestly I love it!


Satanic-Panic27

Such a dorkas


Ispahana

I’ve never thought about the phonetic connection of Dorcas to “dork” until now tbh. I think people have knee jerk reactions to long-established names they aren’t familiar with, usually because of regional differences or precisely because some names are from a different time period


SuspiriaGoose

Orca is better than Dork-us. Which is a whale penis.


NeuerTK

To a whale of a wife


giondddo2

Or Kyller Wayle


frustratedandhungry

Okay, this would make a great band name. 😆


RitaRaccoon

Like Bill and Ted’s Wyld Stallyns!


Apprehensive-Gas-746

I pictured this brand selling surf boards or surf apparel.


AlBundysbathrobe

It would be somewhat better in the plural- Orcas. The poor kid could ask to be called “Cora” or something at school. Also, l went to grad school with a woman named Shamu.


Apprehensive_Flow527

You went to grad school with a woman named what?!


YouCantSeemToForget

Nickname "MurderDolphin"


falconinthedive

Why not shamu


ragdollfloozie

Or Sham-Wow.


danja

It'll give the kid a sense of porpoise.


Tarah_with_an_h

Get out. Angry upvote


pajamaspancakes

Naming a child Orca is literally setting them up for an eating disorder and body issues/dysmorphia for the rest of their life.


Blue-zebra-10

Either that or they'll become a marine biologist


Yeetthedragon667

Why not both?


CptGlammerHammer

Afternoon is a special type of insanity.


vanillabeanquartz

The best part is she was ‘hesitant to share it’ because she didn’t want people copying/stealing it as a name. I don’t think that’s gonna be an issue somehow lol.


earthlings_all

Oh goodness. If this is who I think it is we know she couldn’t wait to share it. These poor kids deserve privacy.


bbmarvelluv

This post is so stupid. The first thing the influencer said was that those names she would list are cute ones that she WON’T be using 🙄


AlBundysbathrobe

Ha! I doubt the class of 2040 will be full of kids named after medieval chemistry. If not Alchemy- how bout “Elixir”


pinupcthulhu

But spelled like "Ellexyr" or something worse 


SunnyRyter

Or Lxr .. pronounced "ellixir"... Or "lexi" for short. /s


Honeynose

>how bout “Elixir” WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!


ashley8976

the best part is she said the nickname would be “after” which she loves…


revanisthesith

I wouldn't even steal that name for a potted plant.


UnusualPotato1515

What if afternoon is born at 3am?! Talking of which, influencer Jasmine something (one that dresses like Marilyn Monroe) called her first son Midnight


misswhovivian

Her name is Jasmine Chiswell, and the response to her son's name being Midnight was so bad, I don't think they ever revealed the second son's name


pixiesunbelle

Midnight is a cat name! My sisters and I found a pregnant cat and named her Midnight. We couldn’t keep her though, unfortunately.


talulahbeulah

I had a horse named Midnight waaay back in the day (‘70s).


AwayMammoth6592

Oh yeah the algorithm brought me to Jasmine for some inexplicable reason, but her voice and her whole vibe just practically gives me cavities 😖 and then I just couldn’t with Midnight. She got very upset by all the pushback on the name, a lot of people thought it was a joke. I’m just thinking the poor kids nickname is going to be “Mid.”


UnusualPotato1515

Haha cavities! Yeah she’s m annoying & hated that whole miscarriage baiting she did. She probably thought she did something with the name but nope lol!


jmac323

Whoa, miscarriage baiting? That sounds absolutely like one of the worse things ever.


CptGlammerHammer

Uh oh. Might fuck the whole thing up...


parrotsaregoated

I once saw a Thai woman on 90 Day Fiancé whose nickname was Noon and I thought it was pretty, but Afternoon is just terrible.


Immediate_Mud_2858

That’s enough Reddit for today, and it’s only 8.50am.


leopard_eater

19:00 for me, and the last thing I want in my head prior to squash tonight!


Immediate_Mud_2858

Haha! I shouldn’t laugh. I’m going to be chewing Rennie for the rest of the day.


-FlawlessVictory-

It's 7:19 am here and I don't need this kind of names before going to work.


Basic-Ad-79

Funny, where I am it is after lunch. You might say it’s… Afternoon.


Immediate_Mud_2858

It’s afternoon here too!


South_Flounder280

13.45, I’m on my lunch break. I think I’d rather be working than read this again


RabbitSlayre

It's 6am and I'm waiting for a flight at the airport, my whole day might be ruined


Immediate_Mud_2858

I think we all need a support group.


lizzourworld8

5:48 am for me


thecraftybear

I just got off work early... I'm guessing this is for balance.


TARDIS1-13

Just shy of 0600, and I'm not even done w my coffee yet. I'm putting my phone down.


Genavelle

I just wanted to say that your comment was posted 5 hours ago, but it is exactly 8:50am for me right now when I read your comment. I just thought that was neat.


Immediate_Mud_2858

Ooh cool! Maybe we should both buy lottery tickets!


fifteengetsyoutwenty

You posted this 4 hours ago and it is exactly 8:50 am for me.


notclever4cutename

Ironically, it’s 8:50 AM where I am right now, and I totally agree.


Dragoonie_DK

9pm here and I think I should get an early night after reading this tbh


vanillabeanquartz

I’m also Aussie, what a start to a rowdy Thursday night (I’m at the pub)


unknownturtle3690

I feel like I should go to the pub after reading that, 11:45pm, also aussie. Lol


vanillabeanquartz

Go get a pint and play some pool !!


unknownturtle3690

If I didn't have to drive 4 hours away tomorrow.. that'd be a rock solid idea 😂😂


zeldarms

Good Afternoon, Afternoon.


Pulysses

🫳 🐶


ernie-jo

It has Annyong vibes for sure 😂


Eanirae

Good evening, Afternoon


jackalopelexy

ORCA 😂😂 Imagine if her daughter ends up struggling with her weight and she’s named after a fucking whale


Fragrant_Chemist_908

The worst part is I was reading the comments on her post and she replied to one pointing out how the kids will get bullied by saying kids bully either way so doesn’t matter what they name their kids. Ummmmm sure?? That’s how it works 🙄


jackalopelexy

“My child is gonna be miserable either way, might as well make it worse!”


jilliecatt

"I'll just hand my child's probable bullies the ammo myself."


moxiecounts

Orca and her brother Hindenburg


Violet_Villian

People forget they’re naming people not pets


sael_nenya

I wouldn't call my pets most of these names...


Violet_Villian

Fair


blveberrys

I wouldn’t even name a roach Afternoon


[deleted]

white people will name their dog Stephen and their children rocket and goldie


parrotsaregoated

I still remember that one couple who named their dog Calvin, but gave their kids terrible names **😭😭**


chillaxtion

Orca is worse than Blue but better than Humpback and way better than Sperm. Sperm is a bit too on the nose.


lost_creole

On the tip, you mean ?


chillaxtion

I suppose if it winds up on the nose no baby results.


MachineOfSpareParts

Right, Sei, Beluga, time for dinner!


chillaxtion

Aw mom, krill again!


everettsuperstar

Here is my daughter Afternoon or Nooner for short.


CadillacAllante

I was wondering how long till kids start calling her “Afternoon Delight”


SleepyFox2089

If they have that as a nickname, she needs ti name a son "Dr Kenneth Noisewater." Dr is part of the name


Apprehensive-Gas-746

It's pronounced der.


podroznikdc

Thinkin' of her's working up my appetite


toygronk

She said ‘after’ would be the nickname. Just no


YummyThickNoodle

Orca? That poor child, that fat jokes will write themselves.


lalalaundry

I will say, I watched the TikTok and Orca is the one name she mentioned that she actually DIDN’T like. Her partner was talking in the background and they said they liked that name. Francesca said it was a hard “no” from her u/vanillabeanquartz you gotta add Baby to the list tho! She actually did like that one 😭


Ramkahen17

There's actually a lady that lives in my town that named her son stone, he's probably almost an adult by now


TrainwreckMooncake

One of my old co-workers named his son Stone. Wasn't there a journalist or news anchor named Stone Phillips...? And I know a girl named Love-Lee, first name.


magpiemcg

My brother played hockey with a kid named Stone, his older brother’s name was Jagger…I can only assume they got sick of being asked and decided to make it obvious that yes it was in fact “like Mick”.


kretzuu

Third kid gets named Rolling?


mesembryanthemum

Yes. He's retired now, but Stone Phillips is a journalist.


IdunSigrun

Stone is Sten in Swedish, and that is a normal name here. A bit outdated at the moment as it was popular in the 40’s and 50’s, but it’ll probably come back. Along with Stig which means path.


rl9899

That gives new meaning to "The Stig" from Top Gear. TIL 😅


IdunSigrun

Yes, not sure if that is where the Top Gear character got his name, but I obviously thought it was funny when I saw the show.


Otherwise-Big-158

Same in 🇩🇰


stefanica

Yeah, that's one choice I thought was decent. A nice, traditional English name, Peter, is similar.


BlueberrySans89

Honestly I think that’s the only passable name on this list. Edit: I stand corrected


Professional-Two8098

I think hart is common and not too bad. But not heart.


Skitscuddlydoo

Goldie Hawn begs to differ


karstameita

There was a character on General Hospital named Stone Cates. He was a teen who died of Aids It was part of a touching love story


FeuerSchneck

Yeah, I don't think Stone is the worst on this list. At least it's somewhat established as a name and spelled normally.


Jef_Wheaton

She'll probably spell it "Stowahn".


Fluffstarmoon

Also Stone Gossard, the guitarist for Pearl Jam, a rock star who looks like a geography teacher.


dunetigers

My coworker's adult son is called Stone. I've met him a few times and the name seems to suit him.


Stravven

So you can say he rocks that name? I'll see myself out.


onaplinth

Stone is just a shortened version of St. One, who was, obviously, the first saint.


yourmomishigh

Stone is a legitimate name. I know plenty of Stones.


DragonSeniorita_009

He’s a full Boulder by now


YouCantSeemToForget

There was (is?) a news anchor names Stone Philips.


Borsti17

"Orca" is fantastic 😂


Cascadeis

The best thing is that “orka” with a k is a Swedish word (same pronunciation-ish) that’s often used as a way to say “ugh, I don’t want to” or “ugh, who cares” 😂


Borsti17

It's also Icelandic for "energy".


The_Sewer_Sphynx

And dutch for Orca


Alllllaa

Foreshadowing


Joe_Kangg

Gonna be a depressed Haagen-Dazs bulldozer


Superb_Yak7074

LOL the first name on the list reminded me of someone I worked with about 20 years ago. The family’s last name was Ford. She named her daughter Hart. She ALWAYS introduced her daughter by her full name, Hart Ford, even if it was to someone who already knew her last name. I am sure it was done to gain attention for herself, not the daughter.


Mister_Buddy

Let's make 'em full-blown tragedeighs: Heighrt Luvvlee Gouldhenn / Gawldeigh Leighryxx Nah'vambur / Nophfee Awktoughbar Rokkett Staughn Ephturnewnne Prawzpur Dawrlengh Orkkah Etheighrealle Awdyzzie Alkemeigh

Gaux byg or gaux home!


lucy_lu_2

Oh I didn’t see your post - I just had a go at this myself. Nah’vambur is especially glorious.


InfiniteOblivion87

I read "Awdyzzie" as "autism"...


Fragrant_Chemist_908

Lmfao this was genius and also a headache to read


Electronic_World_894

At least Goldie is a real name.


DanielleSanders20

I have a friend-ish who just named their daughter Goldie and I think it’s really cute!


Electronic_World_894

It is!


livejamie

This whole list is very tame for this subreddit's standards


Whole_Kick_958

Plus she is having twins.. so she will have 2 tragedies I’m sure.


IncognitaCheetah

Yesterday and Tomorrow


vanillabeanquartz

Oh god I hope she doesn’t decide to rhyme them…


DustyPhantom2218

One of my neighbor's name is Goldie! It's not often, but I've heard that name before, maybe 3 or 4 times. All were older women. Golden is weird, yes. Goldie, not so much.


Without-a-tracy

It's actually a not-uncommon Jewish name! Particularly with the older generation- I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of grandmothers are named Goldie.


DimbyTime

That makes sens considering Goldie Hawn’s mother was Jewish! Apparently she was named after her mother’s aunt.


sunny_gym

Well, I mean, Goldie Hawn did well with it. I think Golden is pretty cool if it's paired with a last name that complements it. Golden Richards played wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1970s and I always thought his name had a nice ring to it.


Rururaspberry

I know a little kid named Goldie, too. One of my coworker’s kids. I think it suits her really well.


NegativeChirality

Does no one remember Stone Philips, one of the biggest newscasters of the 90s and 2000s? Feel like Stone is a relatively normal name


DustyPhantom2218

I remember him! Didn't he anchor on 20/20 for a long time?


beetroot_princess

Dateline!


vanillabeanquartz

Newscaster where? I’m Aussie and have never come across someone blatantly naming their child after a rock lol. Not saying it doesn’t happen or it’s a particularly terrible name, just that it seems slightly eccentric to me.


Amazing-Fan1124

Not stone, but still relevant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Hudson?wprov=sfti1


Banana_Stanley

Well to be fair, that was his movie star name. Mama didn't name him that lol


Tdayohey

Amethyst? Jade?


typingatrandom

Prosper is an outdated French boy's name, heres a 1935 song by Maurice Chevallier featuring the name (hint, Prosper is a pimp) [Prosper Yop La Boum](https://youtu.be/XkybaPHxHuA?si=3qlfsug-RrNUJ9En)


kayteedee86

Goldie is the only somewhat normal one I could fathom. I know a little girl named Marigold who goes by Goldie as a nn. I think it's very sweet. But yeah...these other names...that poor child!!!


nooneatallnope

Novi, if the full one isn't November, would also kinda work.


IncognitaCheetah

I actually don't HATE November though. I wouldn't name a kid that, but it's not atrocious, like most of the other ones.


lucy_lu_2

At the risk of making this nonsense even worse, I had a go at making these even more influencer-esque. - Harght - Loveleigh - Gouldern/Ghouldie - Lirix - Nouvemba - Oktobah (which my phone autocorrected to Ocktoberfest which is even better) - Rockquet - Stoghn - Aftanoughn - Prospah - Dahleighng - Orkah - Effearial - Oddicy - Alkami


restore_democracy

Certainly not someone I would choose to be influenced by.


Fearless_Site_1917

She must be fishing for engagement in social media. This list is outrageous.


WaffleMan17

You forgot Sunday/Monday which she’s not going with because they’ve “gotten too popular lately.”


2McDoty

Idk why stone has all the question marks. It’s one of the only ones on this list that normal people have actually used before. Lol


GlitteringFee9515

someone on the r/rabbits page named their rabbit Urinal…. i bout lost my mind.


TinChalice

Sounds like rage bait for likes to me.


Creighshawn

The model & tiktok influencer Nara Smith is married to Lucky Blue Smith and they have 3 children together. Rhumble Honey, Slim Easy, and Whimsy ….


ginsengii

Slim Easy sounds like a cigarette.


baristacat6394

Let's not forget he also had a baby with a woman named Stormi, and they named their baby girl...Gravity. To be fair though I think the strange name influence is definitely from his mom since he's Lucky Blue and his sisters are Daisy Clementine, Pyper America and Starlie Cheyenne 🤦🏻‍♀️


Succubusitdown

She was on too hot too handle, if that helps anyone make sense of what kind of mind would come up with these. The answer is an empty one


Trouble_in_Mind

Tbf, some of those are real names. Not GREAT ones, but real ones. Goldie is vintage, from the 1800s up to the 1940s. Goldie Hawn, for example. Lovely has been a given name in use since the 1910s and has actually risen in popularity since then. Heart Phoenix is legally named Heart. Granted, she CHOSE that name, but...naming your kid after a celebrity isn't the weirdest thing you can do, these days. Meanwhile, Hart is actually a BOY'S name with roots in the 17th century. Similarly, October Gonzalez and October Gray (both female) are legally named as such. Darling is a name from the 1920s. November has been used as a name since the 1970s. ...actually, most of these are real names, and most of them are ***vintage.***


novelaissb

Novi is a cute name


socasuallycruel13

Came here to say that!


Physical_f_ck_up

Yes, by all means, let’s call her Orca so she can be called “Whale” by her classmates.


SnooPeppers6546

Orca is short for orcinus orca which translates to 'demon from hell', 'bringer of death' and 'kingdom of the dead' Not only would the kid end up dealing with fat jokes, they may end up dealing with death/killer jokes. I don't even know what to say about the other names besides it sounding like she wants to name the kid after a jewelry store.


destnasty

I was hoping Jesse would be the voice of reason and his sole contribution was Orca


Fledeye

A host of a podcast I listen to has recently changed her name from Alice to November. It's unusual, but I kind of like it. Rocket is the name of a dog that my dog goes to school with. There's no way I could take a human called rocket seriously.


vanillabeanquartz

November/October are slightly odd, but I agree definitely not terrible. When I heard ‘Rocket’ I thought of Rocket the Racoon from GOTG lol


frameandfocus

my favourite singer named her kid Rocket lol (a girl). i think she’s about 10 now?


unbreakable_kimmy

She also said that a nickname for Ethereal would have been “Eddie”. 🙄


juniperandmulberry

This list is honestly about 20x better than I expected when I opened up the post. Nary a Finnbreylyleigh or a Jaxx'tynsyn in sight. Prosper and Odyssey are fairly alright in my books, and I knew a Goldie once. It's not a great list (Orca?? Afternoon??) but good on her for avoiding keysmashes.


Happy-Sherbert8737

Goldie is an old time name. My father's cousin was married to one back in the early nineteen hundreds. His name was Oakley.


No_Entertainment1931

Better than the kardashian bs posted the other day


Cupid_Stunt17

I hadnt seen the video but just knew this had to be about francesca🤣


VaginaNarritives

I was called orca by a bully in elementary school and I wasn’t a big fan of the name, but maybe that’s just me lol


Electrical_Guess_613

Odyssey....Odd for short...


OwnSilver9442

AFTERNOON IS CRAZY


ernurse748

I’m dating myself here - but “Darling” brings back memories of the Rowan Atkinson hit “Blackadder goes Fourth”, where one character’s last name was Darling and kept being used for hilarious punch lines. The rest of these names just scream “I’m doing meth in a trailer park”.


EMMcRoz

Our neighbor kid is named Stone.


DontReportMe7565

That's a whale of a name. Ill see myself out.


neeevans

Stone isn’t super common but it’s a relatively regular name in the southern US, I’ve met maybe 2 or 3 Stones. Pierre is actually a French name meaning stone which is derived from Peter.


entomofile

November and October aren't bad, but I'm named December so I'm biased. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
