40 Of The Stupidest Names People Have Encountered That Made Them Wonder “What The Parents Were Thinking”
Interview
For soon-to-be and new parents, deciding on a name for their baby can be a daunting task. While some say there are simply too many to choose from, others go on about always having second thoughts. But there is a whole other category of people that feel this overwhelming urge to come up with something so original, they miss by a long shot.
We’re talking about moms and dads who think of terrible names that doom their kids to a lifetime of questions and eyebrow-raising. Luckily, there's a Facebook group called "That name is a Tragedeigh 2.0" that's dedicated to calling them out. From Ayrwynn and Behryx to basically anything that ends with -eigh, it seems there’s no shortage of awful names that are almost begging to be shamed.
Zane Mauldon-Green, the admin of this group, told Bored Panda parents "get caught up in words they like or think sound pretty without actually considering that their child will one day grow up and have to deal with the bullying or other consequences of having a tragic name could have." Read on for the whole interview!

I've read this entire list. I wonder if these parents realize they are condemning their children to a LIFETIME of correcting spelling and pronunciation of the most defining aspect of one's life. I know...both my first and last names must be spelled out, slowly, to whomever is asking, oftentimes repeated for pronunciation purposes. My kids' names are names with traditional spelling. Life's hard enough...why add cutesy spelling or a name that isn't well thought out (Female, pronounced Fe-MAH-lei)? Just...why?

I know someone who names their son Laben, apparently his 4 older siblings and parents had a vote and this is what they chose. He was a rainbow baby who’s 8 years younger than the next youngest one. All I can think of is labia every time I hear it and I fear that because of this he will be picked on in school.

I don't think kids are going to think Labia, plus Laban was in the Bible. He was the father of Rebecca the father of Rachel. So he can just tell the kids the origin of his name.

My name is Faith.. and I take offense to this spelling 😵🤣 seriously though that's stupid And the name sucks! Get used to spelling it out 8 times before people on the phone realize your name is not face, state, steak or Kate. ( I work on the phone and you'd be surprised how many times I'm asked really your name is face? Yes you fucktard my parents named me face )😆
GoGoPDX 3 years ago
I get so confused when people take common names and spell them weird to make them "unique". It still is pronounced Faith, so it is not exotic or unique. I could take the word gate, and spell it g8, but at the end of the day, it still sounds exactly the same. All you are doing is giving your child a common name and a life full of not being taken seriously and always having to explain and/or correct people.
The admin told us that while he's not the founder of the group, he joined shortly after. "I’ve since taken over running the group as the original creator has two young kids and is very busy with all the tasks that come with being a mum."
However, Zane revealed that the idea for this group came from seeing some shockingly bad and uniquely spelled names. "There was also a similar group, but [it] allowed people to roast names belonging to various cultures around the world," he added. "We didn’t think that was right, so 2.0 was created as the culture-friendly alternative. In the end, though, it was inspired as a way to just laugh at insanely unique spellings of names."

We had a governor named Tommy Thompson. I don't understand how & why parents name their kids like that.
When asked what are some of the most appalling names out there, he told us, "I think any name that is deliberately spelled incorrectly for the purpose of being unique are some of the worst names, e.g Emma-leigh instead of Emily. However, two of the worst I have seen are Knoxxli Blayze and Addilyn. Mainly just because they aren’t names, just weird mashups of other words or something worse."
Some say that baby names are a genuine way to express parents' deepest hopes for their children. Well, then we'll just have to guess what’s in line for these folks. If you're shaking your head from confusion, thinking what on earth was on these parents' minds, you're definitely not the only one. After all, giving your child an eccentric name can potentially make it harder for them to grow and socialize with ease.
"Having a 'unique' name or as we call them 'tragic names' can definitely have an impact on a child growing up. Whether that be kids constantly making fun of their name or the child having to relentlessly correct people's pronunciation or spell their name for them," Zane added.

"Please let your children be unique themselves, they don’t need a poorly chosen name to do that for them."
Zane admitted he honestly believes parents don’t put too much thought into whether it’s a good name for a person and just focus on what they like. "It’s quite a selfish view but it seems to be very common that parents don’t really consider their child’s future in regards to their name."

I knew a kid in elementary school named Micheal. Being an elementary schooler, I tactlessly said, “It’s spelled wrong.” “No, it’s not! It’s Spanish!” “No, that’s Miguel.” “Shut up!” Good times.
An eccentric name can attract unwanted attention. Moreover, it usually comes together with a whole lot of problems moms and dads might not have thought about. So Zane noted that while it may seem like a lovely idea to give your child a name that sets them apart from the rest, you should still think twice.
"You need to keep in mind that Knoxxli Blaze, for example, is not going to be taken as seriously as someone called Jennifer or Breeanna or any other normal name." The same rule applies to all unique names: "Forcing your child to forever correct people's spelling and pronunciation is not sweet, it’s cruel."

There is nothing unique about any of these names; they are all jut place names, mostly English but some American, including the Menomnee tribe of Native Americans.

Ooh! My mom had ideas just like this!! She was gonna name me Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Copper if I was AMAB. When I asked her if she had any other, non-precious-metal ideas, she said Armas Into. Pronounced like pinto bean.

Me too. Though it does make me picture babies in mining costumes.

Sounds like someone watches Lucifer, actually (one of the characters is Mazikeen).

Stop trying to make new names just to be different. Either hypenate it, or use Leigh as a middle name. You're starting to make Bloody Stupid Johnson sound like a good idea (and that was a Terry Pratchett joke name)!

He gave us a plethora of joke names. I'm still waiting to see Legitimate First, or Diamanda, or even (please, please, please!) MyGodHe'sHeavy (the First).

Worse. To me it sounds like "Izrael", which is the angel of death. In my culture, it's the Grim Reaper.

Why is Leigh hated? It's an old English name for a safe space in a wooded area/easy landing beach/common land that's peaceful. A leigh is a quiet point of not much, in an otherwise busy community. I hated my name when I was little but I've grown to love it.

Leigh itself isn't bad per se. It's the things that people make out of it that are. "Hayleigh", "Rhayleigh", I've even met a "Dezzeigh".

LeighAnne here. And it’s surprising how many can’t pronounce it. I’ve never really liked my name.

How do they pronounce it? Leigh/Leigh Anne is a very common name here.

Leigh is like Ann then and can be randomly added to any name in a superfluous vagazzle style. I could be either Hannahleigh or Hannahann. I’m quite liking Hannahann personally.

I actually think Ezraleigh is a nice name. You can call the kid Ezra or Leigh.

Quintessential. As in this is a quintessentially dumb "unique" name idea. Quinn is a nice name.

I love the name Quinn! Why does it need to be longer. Quincy's only one letter longer.
