People In This Facebook Group Are Sharing Hilariously Unfortunate Names Parents Actually Give Their Children, Here Are 30 Of The Worst Ones (New Pics)
Every parent wants what’s best for their kid, bottom line. Name included. So no doubt they will be choosing it carefully, with time to reflect, think of alternatives and ask for feedback from people whose opinion they trust. Or so we think.
Well, this hilarious Facebook group with a whimsical name “That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr” shows what happens when things take a very different direction. For one reason or the other, the result is a bunch of crazy, funny, and somewhat bizarre names that got shared on this group. They make us not only question the value our names carry, but also appreciate the one we have.
Scroll down though the hilarious collection below and be sure to check out our previous article with more names from “That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr.”
This post may include affiliate links.
Bored Panda reached out to Ruth Zschoche, sci-fi author, artist and the creator behind the Facebook group “That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr” to find out more about the community as well as her insights into the crazy names that get shared on there.
The idea for this miscellaneous group was born during the pandemic when Ruth turned to Facebook to be more connected to others in times of isolation. She went on joke groups, local and fan-based groups, shaming groups and other communities to distract herself.
When Ruth gave birth to a baby, she was active in a couple of mom and pregnancy groups and had to go through the baby naming process. She said to us previously that the group started on a whim from a funny tagline and it took off like crazy.

I knew a lady in high school whose parents named her "Nightmare." I swear white-trash parents will literally just name their kids anything, thinking it will carry deeper meaning, when all it does for them later in life is to make strangers question how awful her parents must be. I just... I want people to ... just... stop... it's not cool, it's not insightful or thoughtful. For the love of god do not name your kid "Nightmare," "Dream," "Muse or "Mint-BerryCrunch" or or anything like that.... It will make their lives only slightly worse having to defend you on this... please, just get a book of baby names and use that instead.

Nickname = awesome!! Actual name = 😟!! That would be adorable for Mabel or Mabelline, although the latter would lead to jokes like MAEBY she’s born with it MAEBY it’s Mabelline! Strange names are great for nicknames and middle names. Don’t put a kid through that for their first name, please!

The cousin in Arrested Development is called Maeby Fünke (pronounced Maybe).
“We have over 75 thousand members now. It has been nuts,” Ruth told us. Today, she manages several hundred posts a day. “I wish I was getting paid for it,” she added.
The community has a lot of discussions that arise that are only peripherally name related, and that takes perhaps the most energy to manage, Ruth argues. “But they are, some of them, important discussions. The challenge is to make sure everyone (within reason) can share opinions on topics while being decent and polite to each other. These include race, gender, politics, religion, parenting, and cultural differences.”

Ruth believes that “any conversation can be held productively between people who differ on topics as long as people are able to see each other as real people with humanity, rather than just vestiges of a political stance they detest.”
Moreover, the group has seen more people sharing their own stories with naming their children or being named themselves. “We also have more people sharing anonymously from workplaces such as amusement parks, hospitals, schools, etc.”

Meanwhile, in terms of the names themselves, Ruth said that she has noticed more and more examples of names that are based on words that are not traditionally used as names. “Recent examples I have seen include Ridge, Rustler, Richochet, Umbrella, Tangerine, Pistol, Shield, Skylight… you get the point.”
When asked why people are so fascinated with all the crazy names, Ruth says that it has to do with the fact that naming is power. “Naming is identity. Naming places stickers of the world and history over the essence of folks before they are even born.”
“I also think that there is some truth to saying that people like being the observers of the strange and other, like seeing someone do a crazy stunt or watching a variety show. You want to admire the shenanigans and wince at the same time,” she added.

If I gave my 6 YO an online nickname…. Wait, that sentence is just so unrealistic I’m not even sure what I was going to say. I don’t “social media”. No Facebook, instagram, YouTube, blog/vlog, twitter (which by the way I’ve always thought posts should be called Twits rather than Tweets), or the ghost icon one?, or whatever else is out there now, oh TikTok!

Meanwhile, Ruth argues that people are also aware that what is “normal” is changing over time. “Things we see as tragedies now may be the Jennifer and Henry of tomorrow. This shift, like any generational shift, is fought against and marveled at. Judged and admired for the audacity. It will be interesting to see, in perhaps 20 years, what this generation of children think about their own names. What will be the tragedies of their parental generation? Will names come full circle or will they get even more wild?” the creator of the group wondered.

Having seen so many names so far, Ruth shared some insights on how NOT to name a baby.
“Top (though not all) tips to avoid being on this group:
- Do not respell common names in ways that violate how letters and phonics work in the English language. Recent examples – Graiesonn, Tammiey;
- Do not make body parts a segment of your respelled name. Recent examples – Tiphiknee, Toenee;
- Do not place apostrophes in your name if at all possible. Recent examples (also good for example, J’uelz Maxwell and J’uwelz Max.”

Moreover, Ruth’s advice is to not use a word that has a tragic meaning or context, unless the word is already in cultural use as a name. “Recent example – Macksim,” she noted. Another thing to avoid while naming a baby is to “not make matchy-matchy twin names, or have siblings who all share the same first syllable. Recent examples – siblings Jaden, Jaed, Jaidlynn, and Jadee.”
Ruth’s advice for a baby name is “to not replace vowels with y’s just because you can. Recent examples – Reyly, Brynzlee.” She added a couple more tips on how not to name a baby:
“Don’t add 'lyn' or 'lynn' to random words or names that really could do without. Recent examples – Jimmelynn, Wormlyn;
- Do not create your baby name by mashing your name with your partner’s name. Recent example – Christephany;
- Do not use names from a fandom that are not really names (often they aren’t for good reason). Recent examples – Caleighsi, Cruella.”

For those wondering if there’s an end to just how many crazy names can exist out there, Ruth believes there’s no end to inspiration.
“Ever hear the saying that given enough time, even a monkey can type out Shakespeare? Well, given enough time, an infinite number of names can exist. With a huge variation of how the letters in the English language can be rearranged to make names, if there is no limit on how many names or how long the names, the number of options are, in fact, infinite,” she explained.
Ruth continued: “And this is the true inspiration for the group – the endless variety of how humans imagine themselves and envision identities for their children,” she said and added that she finds it fascinating.

At the moment, Ruth said that she’s “working on a project that explores classic words that are not traditionally used as names, but are fascinating for their meaning and history. They offer uniqueness that doesn’t require the respelling of existing names, or the complete fabrication of new ones. And interestingly, this exploration also garners a majority of names that are, in essence, nongendered definition-wise.”
The creator noted that some people have already started to explore this trend, but she thinks it can be taken much further. Ruth shares some of the names from this project, and some of the more wild names from the Facebook group, with commentary, on the Twitter account @NameMurghdyrrs so be sure to check it out!

Oh, that's a common mistake in Italy. But spelled Gessica. In the late eighties there's been a boom of newborns named Jessica, because it was the name of a little girl who was abducted or something in the US. Apparently it was all over the news in Italy as well and so people used the name for their kids. Many didn't know how to spell it though so they improvised. Same thing happened for Michael: Maicol, Maikol... Hilary went Ilary, Christian became Cristian, Jason went Geson... 🤦♀️

You know, I have heard people refer to a dog's penis as a "red rocket" because of the color and the shape. Hearing "Wolfie Rocket" I cannot, for the life of me, picture anything but a furry. Just... ma'am, your son's name is Wolf D**k.
Lakota Wolf 3 years ago
As an English major, my brain really wants to point out that grammatically, the cutesy-nickname for "Wolf" would be spelled "Wolfy" and not "Wolfie". I had close childhood friends who called me "Wolfy" as a nickname because of my (obvious) love for wolves. But as a name by itself and not as a nickname for "Wolfgang" or something? NO.

I guarantee like 99% of the kids in this article will be legally changing their names once they hit 18/the legal majority age in their country (if not in the US).

In my family's family business, we had twin employees who were both named Santa Maria (yes, as their first name). It's very common for female Hispanics to have "Maria" in their name somewhere, but we were somewhat floored that BOTH ladies were named Santa Maria. EDIT: Yes, we called one of them "Santa", that's what she wanted XD Her other sister was called "Gabby" as her middle name was Gabriella.

As someone who also loves astronomy (I almost majored in it), I can't imagine naming actual human children ANYTHING astronomy-related.

As a absolutely-not-girly girl who got saddled with one of the girliest first names possible (Crystal), I always wanted to have a boy's name instead. (Though I would have settled for Kat.) ALL the cool names were boy's names, in my opinion. I wanted to be named Luke or Lucas, Christopher, Joseph, etc. XD So I think it depends... I don't think it's WRONG to name a girl a "boy" name (and vice versa), but you better be ready for that kid to potentially hate it and count down the hours til they're 18 and can legally change their name.
