‘Tragedeigh’: 128 Painfully Bad Names Parents Decided Were Perfect For Their Offspring (New Pics)
It's funny how sometimes you misspell a word and it takes on a whole new meaning. Or name a child so uniquely that it turns out to be a 'Tragedeigh'. We know naming a child is a tough task and parents usually want it to be one-of-a-kind, but it should be done responsibly.
There is a subreddit called the same name, 'r/tragedeigh', and it is full of names that have been misspelled, or made up for the sake of appearing distinctive. We've compiled our favorite names from the subreddit, so grab a snack and let's get scrolling!

Please Someone Tell Me This Is Real
Susan Bosse 2 years ago
I love it when companies have awesome social media people. It's hysterical watching them roast people.
More and more parents are deciding to give their children unique names. It's a product of our evolving cultures.
According to Aysha Imtiaz from 'Family Tree', "Research shows today’s rising popularity of unique baby names reflects a move from collectivism to individualistic societies and provides important contextual clues about whom parents want their children to be."

We all are unique, especially to our parents. They know that your name will be one of the biggest parts of you, so they understand the need to try and give a baby a one-of-a-kind name. "Our given name forges our identity, influences name stereotypes, may dictate the types of jobs we pursue and even predict career achievements."

Some parents try and give international names, so it would be better known abroad. Some find unique words in foreign languages and adapt them to a name. Just like in one of these posts on the subreddit, when a girl was named Lecesta after a city in the United Kingdom (Leicester).

Historical (But I Think Hilarious) Tragedeigh
Giving unique names is surely a new trend. In the past, parents used to name their kids with the most popular names (like William in Britain). This resulted in half of Great Britain's boys' names being the same. Imtiaz says, "This is because naming conventions were founded in religious and ancestral ties. For example, scriptural names were popular, and English Puritans sometimes named their children after moral attributes, such as Faith or Mercy." Similarly, in Islamic countries, children's names tend to be religion-related, like Muhammad, after the Holy Prophet.

In an old school way this is correct - Ashley, would be the male spelling and Ashleigh the female.

Can’t Make This Stuff Up If I Wanted To
Laura Wattenberg, founder of namerology.com and author of The Baby Name Wizard, says that a baby's name is also a parent's self-expression: "Research has established the steady decrease in common names in the US from the 1950s, especially from 1983, and a recent macro-level study analyzing 348 million American baby names across 137 years (1880 to 2017) showed Baby Boomers increased the number of novel names per thousand people four-fold for boys and 2.75 times for girls."

Today, parents' styles and values are reflected in the names they give their kids. Pamela Redmond, the author of "Beyond Jennifer & Jason", a book about generations, believes that, "We hear a lot of parents saying they want to give their sons gender-neutral names to signal feminist values, or honor family in a way that’s in step with current styles – so Grandpa Arthur may get honored by giving your son the middle name Bear, Arthur’s meaning."

That's actually the standard short form of Christian in several parts of Germany. Spelling might look weird to English speakers but it follows standard German spelling rules. Probably a tourist who didn't even think about what it might look like abroad.
