I will never understand obtuse alternate spellings that are just homophones. Like Trinity spelled Triniteigh accomplishes nothing.

Fuck you Wolfgang Atreides is money. I'd follow that baby into battle.

I'm all for unique and clear identifiers for everything, including people, but jesus christ, imagine yourself in elementary school having a weird name. Why would parents choose a hard mode for their progeny?

Ok but Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides goes pretty hard.

I heard so much racism/making fun about black names growing up, but like, white people names are some of the absolute goofiest shit I've ever heard.

I'm not one to judge parents baby names, but Merricka??

Triniteigh

This one makes Jesus cry.

i'm so fucking happy sweden has laws preventing this stuff, names here have to be approved as not causing undue harm to the child

Personally, I prefer names that are forbidden, like Username, Null, Admin, 'SELECT * FROM Users;-- , example@contoso.com, Error, ,

Do these parents not realise that they are naming real humans that will also be adults one day? Like, just imagine a grown-ass woman named "Brexleigh".

It's a child not a vanity plate

Some of these names sound like those brands you only ever find on Amazon

What irks me the most is the effort these idiot parents will go to give their baby as basic a name as "Allison" or "Ashley"

• Ashlie
• Ashlee
• Ashly
• Ashleigh
• Ashlea
• Ashli
• Ashely
• Ashlei
• Ashleah
• Asheleigh
• Ashelie
• Ahshlee
• the list goes on and on and on

No amount of vowels is going to make your kid's name stand out when at the end of the day it's the same pronunciation as the most common, basic form of it.

Mötley might be weird but it's at least unique.

Sigurd. Felix. Wolfgang. Atreides. No one can mess with that mf.

There was a missing child report near me whose name was Mill'ionaire.

Well some of these will not require your daughter to think of her stripper name.

I've always felt like the names we pick for ourselves ought to be more valid than the ones others choose for us. We should choose names for ourselves at different stages of life, and just tack them on in whatever order we like. You want something more fun than mummy and daddy gave you? Knock yourself out. Were your idiot parents drunk when they signed the papers? Well you can fix that at 12 if you like. We are who we choose to be and this the goddamn future.

My daughter has a friend named Hayley. She is not amused when I spell it heighleigh

You’re gonna look me in the eyes and tell me Raddix isn’t straight fire?

If I had been named Triniteigh I would have legally changed my name as soon as I was old enough. That's an atrocity of a name. Some are so funny they circle back around to something that would at least be interesting to have as a name (Raddix Zephyr is dumb but in more of a fun way, and I would genuinely not mind being named Leviathan), but Triniteigh is just so, so bad.

People really took "video game name genrator" to the real world.

Dusti Rose sounds like a 40 year old chain smoker that looks 65

Why would you name your kid that

Leviathan is awesome. I'd trade that for my common but bad name.

To be fair, Leviathan is a banger middle name. Plus you can be called Levi for short :)

Madden Raige.

Lmao. Accidentally named your kid into a contract with Khorne.

Agreed. Mötley can stay.

As someone whose name is an odd spelling that is close to something more conventional, life can be taxing. I'm not saying that there isn't room for creativity or fun/romantic name choices here. But Triniteigh's Parents are setting their kid up for a lifetime of bullying and inconvenience, followed by the shock of their kid going to the courthouse at 30 to undo things.

Coyote Bao just sounds like a health code violation lmao

I give it about a 98,5% chance, that the ones wanting to name their kid "Mötley", have no clue how "ö" is actually pronounced.

Whenever I read Mötley Crüe I have to think of this:

When we finally went to Germany, the crowds were chanting, “Mutley Cruh! Mutley Cruh! “ We couldn’t figure out why the fuck they were doing that.

Sigurd Atreides sounds cool enough but they went and jazzed it up.
