I always reblog this post so fucking fast every time it comes on my dash my phone shuts down the tumblr app and reboots
McKarty 64 is my favorite Mario Kart game.
My favorite part is that the blog post the photo was taken from detailed this mother’s decision-making process and chose this name because her husband saw it on a road sign on the way home
She named her daughter after a road sign
a road sign
there was a girl at my school called “zona” cause he parents went on holiday to spain and saw it and thought it was a nice name. IT LITERALLY MEANS ZONE
“47 month old”
this is my four year old rayman origins
“Who’s doing your surgery?”
“Dr. Rayman Origins.”
THE APP REBOOTED FOR ME!!
i met a kid once whose name was “Ryce” and his mum said it was pronounced “Reese”
the best part is she was originally going to spell it “Rice”
My auntie knows a family who decided to name their daughter Owen, but they spelled it “Oin” and they made her middle name the first sound that her big sister made which happened to be “Oogok”. her name is literally “Oin Oogok Puscus”
Oin Oogok Puscus is my favorite dwarf from the Hobbit

I refuse to go on knowing someone named their child “Salter” I’m so done ✌🏿️
Treyton lls, I’m dying…
I know a person from college who’s name is literally “Smile”, l can’t even explain how ridiculous that is…

Damn suburban moms love to put unnecessary “Y’s” in names.
<b>47 month old<b/>

Somebody named their kid Pocket?!?!???
I am cry wheeze laughing at this post, and then when I got to the bottom I had apparently already hearted it at some point in its life?
Anyway, bless little Christopher’s parents. My god.
47 month old tho
One of the classes I subbed in had a kid named Glarison. I’m sorry, did you misspell Garrison?????
OMG IT IS BACK! I CAN FINALLY POST THE ASK I GOT ABPUT THIS!
I went to college and took religious studies courses with a girl named Storm Pagan. She never understood why I found that both funny and oddly appropriate, and I never felt like taking the time to explain.
for the love of your future children, look up what a name means in all languages before you saddle you kid with it until they’re old enough to legally change it.
I took latin in middle school. I don’t actually remember much now, but i’m telling you, it was IMPOSSIBLE to look this girl I knew in passing in the eye because her name was Latrina.
Latrina.
(For those of you who have no idea why this is unfortunate and hilarious, ‘latrina’ is one of the latin words for toilet)
What the fuck that even sounds like ‘Latrine’ like who looked at that name and went ‘what could possibly go wrong’
Kids I actually went to school with:
Nipponia (Her parents were really enthusiastic about Japan and thought no one would know.) Foreverina Twins – Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh Khayrliy (Carly) MyckEnziey (yes, spelled like that.)
Every last one of them was white n blonde.
Naming your kids after gods seems like s BAD PLAN whether you believe in them or not. Especially Odin and Bacchus.
4 7 M O N T H O L D
I knew I pair of sisters named Chardonnae and Breane (nicknamed Brie). Fucking wine and cheese
Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh ……. I???……what the fuck 😂😂😂
47 month old
Congrats to you for getting throught this post
Now I’m so fucking glad I’m named megan
This is why at the library I would make EVERYONE spell their name for me. Some white lady over 35: You want me to spell Linda Smith
Me: Lady, you don’t know my life. I have looked into the abyss.
Why all these names look like either shitposting or keyboard smashing?
this is my eighth time reading this thread but it’s the first time I noticed (actually noticed) the k(VIII)lyn wHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
Reblogging for the kid named gage
47 months old.
-hey whats your name?
+Im Loots. Whats yours?
- …
-…Im Pocket.
*loots already stealing from pocket
-can you not…?
+Its my destiny Pocket.
I knew a girl named Tyranny. Yep.
What kind of sick fuck names their kid Latrina?
Every time this goes around, I see names I think are terrible ideas, but also wonder why making fun of these names is any different from making fun of Taneisha or Joaquin.
I’m ptetty sure people name their kids weird shit in every language, we just only notice it in our native one.
I’m not sure that’s true. The creative naming thing is both culturally specific and relatively recent. It’s a thing that pings to me as horrendously american tbh. Like, it does happen here, but it’s a lot less common. It’s widely considered tacky/chavvy/lower class rather than middle/upper class.
I mean, there were whole periods of english history where there were like a dozen names for men, france had a list of approved names.
Naming people to affirm community ties rather than assert individuality is a pattern a lot of cultures have.
The thing about creativity is that is produces a load of rubbish a good chunk of the time.
Making fun of these names isn’t really different to making fun of Taneisha or whatever, it’s just about in-group out-group. Sometimes. Sometimes it’s about spelling or truly dreadful choices.
“It means [love/hope/whatever] in [insert language the parents don’t actually speak]” is stupid regardless of race or chosen foreign language imo.
Tbf I take the piss all the time because the UK has like 10 names and everyone has to share. I know SO MANY Matthews.
10% of the boys in my year group at school were called Tom.
Literally twelve people with the same name. Two of them had the same last name as well.
I work in insurance, so I get a BUNCH of weird random names. I’ve gotten multiple claims with parents who have named their kids after Star Wars characters. So. (Can’t disclose more than that because HIPAA)
Hoo, boy. I had a kiddo named Anakin. And one year, there was a Rayne, a Raine, & a Rainen. Raine is pronounced “Rainy,” & god forbid the brand new lunch lady mispronounces it! I had a Diesel one year, & a Kjell (Chell). There were twins named Heaven Marie & Nevaeh Amarie. I have a Denim this year, & a freaking PLETHORA kindergartners names Mila. There’s a young lady somewhere out in the world named Araya Sun because of course she was just a ray of sunshine. Devrionna & her baby sister named Acha’ Via. Genesis. 10000 Sophias…there were 4 in one single first grade class alone. My biggest challenge every year is to learn to pronounce names correctly. There was a kiddo last year who let me pronounce his name incorrectly for 3 whole years. I felt terrible! I’m like, why didn’t you say anything??? He just shrugged & said, most people say it wrong.
One of my cousins named her kid Senna….. which is a laxative.
I will never complain about my name being to common or basic. Ever again.
I’ve taught a kid called Kale, there’s so many weird white names I’ve encountered
if I was rich i would absolutely go all out weird. commission books handwritten in a made up language. erect strange black spires in the wood. buy a boat, make it look like a perfect copy of one that was used in an 18th century antarctic expedition, and then let it drift to shore miles away. i want every interaction with me to leave people with a sense of impending cosmic horror.
me, painstakingly arranging a fake alien-like skeleton sitting at a desk in the hidden room behind my bookcase: this is going to be so cool when they find this in 50 years
imagine hearing “hall of the mountian king” for the first time in 1875. the sheer chaos imagine being some norwegian aristocrat and sitting down for a nice day at the symphony and getting your entire wig and life snatched right before your very eyes
