Fun fact: in Germany, there ARE laws against it. You're not allowed to name the kid stuff like orahl or Nutella or smth because it goes against the best interest of the child🎉
Was about to say that!
Yes also in Denmark and the Netherlands
There IS still some weird Shit that goes through, but at least there IS the possability to avoids the worst
In most of Europe there are laws like that. Rules like, a name needs to be actually usable as a name, and not obscene. Thank god this is not 'Murica.
GOOD
"Dad am I adopted?"
- "Why are you asking, Grindrleigh?"
LMFAO

At this point you can call him grindelwald
I am Irish and lived in Ireland most of my life so I'm very familiar with the name Ruairi. However, DO NOT GIVE YOUR KIDS AN IRISH NAME IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN IRELAND.
My name is Aisling (Ash-ling) which is a traditional Irish name and very common among Irish people my age. I've never had an issue with it in Ireland but it causes a lot of hassle when I travel. Either I get called Ays-ling, Ashley or my name gets completely butchered. I lived in Belgium for awhile and I just told everyone my name was Ash, that it wasn't short for anything. It was so much easier than explaining my name to everyone I met.
Now that I live in Northern Ireland, where the name isn't all that uncommon, I still occasionally meet people that are just unfamiliar with my name.
When I was in Florida a few years back, I met an American girl named Aisling. She was so excited that 1) I pronounced her name correctly the first try and 2) she had never met another Aisling her whole life.
Her name causes issues for her all the time, just because nobody she meets for the first time is familiar with it. So sure, if you live in Connemara, naming your kid Ruairi is fine, but if you live in Colorado, please don't do that to your child 🤦
Cosigned, a Rhonwyn who's never been to Wales. I do like my name, but, well, it could have been easier.
@@rhonwynv yeah it's a gorgeous name but that's got to be rough outside of the UK and Ireland
Or at least if you want to give your kid an Irish name outside of Ireland, give them a spelling that's a little more manageable for English speakers. Like, call the kid Rory, maybe. Or go with Orla instead of Orlaith.
When I came out as trans, I had wanted to try the name "Aoife" (I liked it a lot and my nan in Ireland suggested it)
And if I had a nickel for everyone who pronounced it "Ow-wife", I'd have enough to buy a pillow to specifically scream into.
I had since then swapped to "Maeve", or "May" for some people.
P.S. I know a Siobhan irl, and when I heard Click mispronounce it as "See-oh-bon" one video, she and I died inside.
I understand why Click doesn't know how to pronounce Siobhan, but then there's the parents of that person who decided to change their name. The parents intentionally changed the spelling of the name Siobhan... but based on the wrong pronunciation?? What in the cultural appropriation--
I mean, if the new spelling was something like Sheevawneigh or something... it's still horrible but at least it would show that the parents actually knew a thing or two about the name they were giving their own child.
Whats ridiculous is how many people want "unique" names but instead of finding a actually unique name they take a really common name and spell it the most ridiculous way possible
Just a very gentle reminder: -eaux in french in pronounced oh or ow. So Sneaux is Snow, Reignbeaux is Rainbow… they are still very, very unfortunate theaux
Leaux quality comment (not)
Neaux way
you really did just deaux this huh... congrats
"Eaux" is technicaly the plural of "eau" which mean water
@@griff2009I always find that funny
There's this mini influencer in my country who works registering baby names. He's a saviour, rejecting ugly names because the law allows him to. The law says the public official can reject names that might be offensive/create conflict in future. People complain about parents rights, but children should have rights too. Especially in countries where changing names is almost impossible.
Hell yeah children rights!
You really should consider how the name will affect them later. Don't give them names to make the bullies really hunt them.
Not just that kid's should have rights too, but *kid's rights > parents' rights!*
It was the parents decision to bring the child to life and for that they owe them not to ruin it before it even began!
Oh yes I live in one such country and really wish I could change it but alas no can do
Tbh thats the type of influencers we need.
Because no Jannet, we will not allow you to name your child Captain Marvel Raw XD Lohaiza just because you want to feel unique!!
My mom used to work in juvenile court. She has seen multiple kids named “princess”. Probably one of the worst names you can be stuck with.
Oh wow, seriously! That is very awful as a name.
The only person I've ever known that used that was a homeless junkie girl I used to know, and her nickname was Princess.
I guess because she liked to wear pink and her parents were pretty wealthy.
But she was certainly not a princess 😂
For the name generator, Payven Layne sounds like a construction company.
I got “Zaycyn Jett”
lmao i got huxzen rae
"You're naming an adult" is a big thing. My mom wanted to give my younger sister a cute name but went with a legal full legal name that sounded formal but could be shortened to the cute one. My moms exact thought was 'so she has something nice to put on a plaque' and its sad so many parents don't get that
Yeah, a Friend brought forth the recommendation for Lennart which is . . . OK, a normal Name but Not overly Common where I live . . . .but Last Minute the mother changed her opinion to Lenny . . . . Like No one IS ever going to Take him seriously AS an adult cause thats so so obviously a deminutiv . . .why Not Stick with Lennart and Just call him Lenny so He has the Option to Go into a Job Interview without appearing Like He never grew Up and wants to BE Friends with His new Boss?!
When naming my children I consider how their name would sound being yelled across the neighborhood.
Exactly! I really like “Rosie” for a baby girl but want to do “Rosalie” so she can go by that or even Rose
My parents did this too. My mother wanted to give me a cutesy nickname for my name, but my dad told her that was a name for a baby. So they went with a more formal name that can shorten to that nickname.
….Then I married my husband and he has an older sister with that exact same cutesy nickname as her legal name.
So, my husband rarely calls me by my actual name because he says it’s too weird calling me by his sister’s name, lol.
@@arianewinter4266I think Lenny is a okay name?? But I'm not a native speaker so idk
Don’t give your kid a weird name. If they’re trans enough they’ll do it themselves.
Sincerely, someone who named themselves Bug
Honestly that's a pretty cool name
Yeah my mum can post on Facebook about her new son onion
enbies named Bug should have a show down like the guys named Josh did cause istg i have 3 friends named the same and if i get a 4th one im gonna start assigning them numbers
Bug, you have such a real name
Literally. Like, I didn't do much, I just used a different, still well-used spelling of the name (I've named myself Rhys instead of Reece), but one of my nicknames is Basil. At least it's better than stuff on r/tragedeigh
When I was in high school, a teacher once told the class that if you have a very obscure name or one that isn't spelled correctly, a lot of potential employers will throw your résumé right into the trash. So not only are these parents setting their kids up for a childhood of bullying with these garbage names, they're diminishing the kids' prospects all throughout life. Worth considering before giving your kid a "quirky" name like this: how will it treat them down the line?
My cats name in the shelter was Pootie. I refused. She is now Chara, after a binary star system. Way more fucking dignified.
I genuinely thought you named your cat Chara after the character from Undertale before I finished reading it.
For Ora-Leigh to be the butt of every joke her name would have to be Ana-Leigh
my boomer sister was named Leora
Aura Lynn honestly sounds like a much better name than the other options. If they're head set on it.
Guys, Aurelia is *right there*
I guess that must really suck for her? 🤔🤨😉😂
The BUTT of the joke....
I'm going to name my child "Gorgorax, Destroyer of Worlds."
Or Jason, if it's a boy.
"Gorgorax want's their mummy"
Ok, hope it's a boy, I think Jason is just a way better name than anything destruction-related and sounds nice
@@arcticpossi_schw1siantuntija42 it's a joke...
The Doctor “I speak baby!” *listens to infant babbling* “He say his name isn’t Alphie, it’s Stormageddon Dark Lord of All.” 😂
I was just having a conversation with a coworker yesterday about Greek mythology and all the heroes having names like Perseus, Achilles, Ajax, Hercules, Odyssey, Theseus…and then there is Jason. Only slightly relevant, but this reminded me of it.
Those look like the names you desperately type in when you already tried out 100.000 names before in an MMORPG and every single one of them was already claimed.
My twin and I aren't even truly identical sisters, but people STILL got our faces or our similar names mixed up all the time until even graduation day last year. It was to the point people would walk up to me and start talking to me thinking I was her and I had never even seen them before in my life. It was even worse in elementary school when our mom made us dress in identical outfits to school, and constantly the adults would be like "now which one are you again" or "oh it's one of the twins" as if we were one entity or something instead of individual people. As a victim of being twins with similar names PLEASE DON'T GO THAT LAST STEP AND GIVE THEM THE EXACT SAME NAME. It still follows us even as newly adult women with completely different styles of clothing, I can't imagine how much worse it'll be for those twin boys. People already constantly compared us everywhere we went, especially in school, but it must be even worse when you're named like a machine model 1.0 and 2.0.
Rip Christopher
"My condolences to the family"
"Erh, Rip is the baby's name!"
"My condolences to the baby"
I constantly ask myself this whenever I see Rip Torn in a film... Is that an incredibly metal SAG name or ignorant parents?
idk Rip does sound like a cool name, if it doesn't so happen to be right before what would normally be someone's first name, like, Rip Lee sounds cool, definitely wouldn't name my child after a Metroid character, but it sounds cool
Apparently Rip can be short for the German name "Rippert", and I think used to be a more popular given name in the States (based on "Rip" van Winkle). It might not be that bad as a name, just the formatting of that embroidery looked more like a memorial. Though, "Ripley" would probably trip people up less.
@@Techy404 You're absolutely right, out of all the names in the video this is mostly harmless if a bit unfortunate. But still funny :P
@@lfr8666 You're absolutely right, out of all the names in the video this is mostly harmless if a bit unfortunate. But still funny :P
The name "Siobhan" is an Irish name pronounced "Sha-vawn." The spelling comes from when the indigenous language was converted to the english alphabet. It is spelled correctly and not a Tragedeigh.
Yeah, but Like really confusing and hard on everyone Not socialised Irish . . .the spelling Problem stays the Same . . .
I was about to say. That name seemed to be the most normal one on that list.
It's not spelled correctly, actually, the person spelled it Siobahn and they also tried to use it as a boys' name. (ETA: I was talking about the first instance of Siobhán being mentioned, not the second one where the person completely butchered the spelling)
@@arianewinter4266but if you're Irish I think its fine to keep your cultural name lol.
@@unapologeticallylizzy Eh... Mismatching the gender of a name isn't bad, really. There are hundreds of names that have been flipped around, it just happens, that's not an issue in the long run. Outside of Ireland, about 6 people will have a pre-loaded idea that this name is for girls, and that goes for any uncommon names anywhere. They're just sounds at the end of it, so it's whatever. Misspelling it, though, that's an issue. That's no longer the name, that's just messing people up for no reason. There's no history on misspelling it and pronouncing it a certain way, now you're just ignoring everything about the name anyway, so why would you bother with that at all?
"Avocadosia" sounds like a Harry Potter spell to make vegans levitate
There's an old bulgarian joke from the soviet times where the parents wanted to name their daughter to both of her grand mothers, Mara and Tonka. So they named her Maratonka (running shoe).
I'll do you one better; a joke about a russian baby named Mikoniy. sounds kind of like it might be somewhere a diminutive for Mikhail? No, it's the word for a baby's first bowel movement, which is composed of white blood cells and skin lining from the mother, and is particularly green, tarry, and foul smelling.
I still remember that news report about parents naming their kids stuff like Telefonka (telephone) and Salfetka (napkin). The sad thing is it wasn't a joke...
i went to school with a girl called vagina, pronounced 'vah-gee-na' whose mother threw a tantrum any time anyone mispronounced her name. unsurprisingly she went by gina.
I didnt knew Vipziepop had children😂
@@mysticpumpkin8520 Honestly Gina is so much better than Vaggie
Bro the pronounciation of the name is literally how it's pronounced in Russian it's so bad I'm so sad for the child 😰
@@justsomething1349 despite being russian, I read g as j here, heh
@@justsomething1349 I don't understand the thought process of some people...like how could that name have gone any other way
7:05 Fun fact: it is legal in some states in the US to petition a judge to change your name even as a minor if the name in question is bad enough. The legal case that decided this? TululaDoesTheHula vs. Illinois. Yes, TululaDoesTheHulu was her actual first name. At 9, she successfully petitioned a judge to have it changed to Nicole. The judge ruled it was causing her undo distress and her grievance was valid, granting her the name change legally.
Poor baby!!! :( the shit she had to have gone through to already be petitioning a court at age 9?? I only vaguely knew what Judge Judy was at 9yo.
Jesus christ...
Yup, that sounds murrican enough 👌
Please don't hate me... it's 'undue' distress... I'll go away now.
TULULADOESTHEHULA??? 😭😭😭💀
I just remember seeing one meme of a guy calling his daughter Mayonnaise, but would shorten it to may.
May is a normal name, so nobody would question it, but that daughter would forever know that she was named after a condiment.
Reminds me of Family Guy when it's revealed Meg's full name is Megatron... I truly feel bad for people with these kinds of parents
Idea: if you have multiple fur babies, and you can’t think of matching names, just name them after Saturn’s moons!
*(This rule only applies to cats, not human children)*
You can’t stop me from naming my human child Albiorix.

My cat’s name is “Toothless” after the dragon, his middle name is “Trogdor” can confirm wacky names for cats are socially acceptable
Omg I love this 😭
"Trogdor was a man! I mean...he was a dragon man! Or maybe he was just a dragon... But he was still TROGDOR"
One of my cats is also named Toothless after the dragon! 🐈
Awsome! Great PET name. 😊
I named mine Kevin, I considered Toothless but it didn’t quite suit him (I didn’t expect Kevin to suit but once I said it, it was his name)
"Piggy" is an awful name. They'll get bullied, and then they'll read Lord Of The Flies at school about how Piggy gets crushed with a rock.
that was literally my first thought when i heard it, when my class read it we already made enough fun of Piggy as it was, especially when a younger kid joined the school and looked EXACTLY like the movie Piggy- poor kid i hope his class don't watch the movie when they reach that point
I'd be seriously worried the kid would develop an eating disorder with that name, being called a pig and being bullied. It's not just a bit uncomfortable for the child, it can lead to a deadly mental disorder. I developed my anorexia due to being tall early as a child, if I were named Piggy it would NOT have helped.
Thank god Sweden can forbid names due to "inconvenience for the name carrier".
BAHAAA🤣🤣🤣🤣
have nicknames died?
But that is not their name, its the cute nickname their uncle/aunt (I don't remember) was calling them while they are a baby until they have another option.
Or they’ll think of the Downward Spiral album by Nin…..😬😬😬🫠🫠🫠
I'm from Utah, and it's an entire joke that this subreddit is basically materialized itself in the state.
50 year old with a quirky Hippie name here. My name has 4 letters. Very few people can either get it right or later forget it. Or spend too much time arguing with me to tell them my real name. It was odd and low-hanging fruit in school. Adding letters to it would have been hell! Stop. Think. Just no.
amazing moment when baby finally starts calling his parents "Meaummeigh" or "Dahdheey"
I laughed so hard I woke up my Meaummeigh and Dahdheey 🤣🤣
Really impressing that this young child can already pronounce words with such a complicated spelling!
I read this in a peppa pig-ish voice in my head
You forgot the apostrophe: Dahdhe'ey
Hot take: naming your child with nonfunctional pronunciation or after an interest of yours/inside joke is a telltale sign you're a narcissistic parent that sees the child as an asset or property rather than recognizing that it is a person outside of yourself.
That clocks.
Literally. Nothing says “I see my child as my pet or my toy” more than some fuck ass name like Maddesynnleigh
Absolutely this.
Yup. And the child will probably hate it later. So, there will be troubles with legal changes
Well, for 9 months they're told it's just a part of them rather than a unique being growing inside them, is it any surprise that mentality persists even after birth for some women?
This one Australian journalist named her child Methandfethaminerulz to “see what would happen”. They accepted it 🤣🤣🤣
I think my mom had "unique" names for all her kids but in a normal (and sometimes not even purposeful) way. Like, my brother is named Mathew with one t cause she was still drugged up when they brought in the certificate and thought that was how it was spelled. My brother loves having that slight uniqueness to his name. My sister is named Catherine with a C. Again, nothing wild but not incredibly common either. I believe she was named after a grandmother or something. You can have a unique spin on a name without relying on x's, y's, or "leigh"s.
As an *author* that creates unique names for my characters and their kingdoms in the fantasy settings.... I double-check every name I make up. EVERY name. FOR FANTASY CHARACTERS.
I SWEAR YOU CAN DO IT FOR YOUR KID. I PROMISE.
H A R L O T T E ? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? G O D .
Unless you want to make a meme out of that poor NPC 😅
Same 😭
if you want further motivation; remember Drizzt the Dark Elf? never took off in slavic countries, cause his name sounds like the word for uh. a shart. it's onomatopoeic...
"Harlotte" should just call herself "Harley" like "Harley Quinn", that'd be super cool and a great reference, and then she should quietly get her name changed legally. Best thing is nobody will assume "Harley" is an abbreviation.
I can't help but imagine her as the most based hilarious granny. Picture bringing your fella to meet the famileigh for the first time and going "so this is my mom Xorxys, uncle Glenn short for Glendalf, and granny Hoor"
And Charlie was right there (Charline being another fine choice)

I had a friend in high school that I thought was named Brian. It turned out that his Mom had filled out his Birth Certificate without any one noticing it that his name is officially BRAIN. She misspelled Brian by accident. At the time he was saving money to change it when he turned 18. And yes this was way before Pinky and the Brain.
While it is true that pets don’t know their names and therefore aren’t embarrassed by them, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and was a dog groomer for many years and the staff will absolutely judge the owner about that craziness. I also had an acquaintance throw a toddler-in-adult-body tantrum because she saw the sticker on the kennel card for her cat that was going to be spayed, and it only said Tallulah, and “her name is Tallulah Rain!” I had to wait until she ran out of breath for a second to explain we had no way to change the font size on the sticker printer and that was all that would fit. Actually had to show her the file (yes, this was long ago when we had paper files) so she could see that we did have her cat’s “full legal name” in there. (This was a rescue cat, not purebred, so I have no clue what organization legalized this name.)
My mom new a woman named "Female." Her parents were from another country and didnt speak English well. When given paperwork for birth certificate, it had female on it and the parents thought in US the hospital names the babies and left it
Had twin students named Male and Female, pronounced "mah-lee" and "f'mah-lee".

19:02 So, when I was a wee lad, Cars was my absolute favorite movie, but I didn't know the main character's name until I was quite a bit older. The reason for this is that I have always had trouble with names, and movie characters are especially difficult. The thing about Cars is that it opens with:
"Speed. I am speed."
And the 3-year old Hillbilly was like "great, his name is Speed, thanks for making it easy!"
It wasn't until I was about 6 that I started to wonder who this Lightning McQueen everyone was talking about was.
I think we should apply the same rules to baby names as with graphic design: when in doubt, show it to a group of 13-year-old boys. If they laugh, you rethink it.
But the problem is these parents here don't seem to be in doubt about their name choices at all.

And you know an unacceptable amount of parents of Mahckeyighleighs get angry at people not being able to figure out how to say their kids' names, but will ask people from non-English speaking countries if they have an 'English' name because theirs is too hard. 😑
I grew up in a very multicultural area of southern Ontario, and the amount of substitute teachers who butchered some of the easiest names. Badir, Guled, Amman, these were not difficult! I can’t even imagine the horror that’ll come from some of these atrocities.
And you just know that as soon as the room hears the mistakes the sub makes, that’s going to be used against the kid by someone.
@@qwinlyn ever had a teacher who always butchered a name when the only difference was K instead of a C?
@@Chocobo0Scribe usually they would over emphasize the K. Think eri-K rather than Eh-ric (insert Canadian Eh joke here)
The real trip up tended to be vowels. Many, many mistaken vowels. And the worst part was that there were many that wouldn’t apologize when they said it wrong, but would instead just move on without a word.
@@qwinlynI am 37 and my name is Keair. It is pronounced exactly the way it is spelled (like Key-air). To this day, my doctor's office I have gone to for eight years calls out my last name (which is Snyder, no easier honestly then my first name but there are no food brands named Keair so maybe that's it....I am American after all 😂). And it is not just the doctor's office. You would think my name was really challenging. Hell, people will read it and add an 'a' at the end that doesn't exist so that they say it 'Key-air-a'.... That's the one that really drives me bat shit! And I can still recall the dread of a substitute teacher all these years after leaving school. Lmao
Needless to say, I named my daughter River. The alternate name (the one I wanted more for her but I married a nerd and she's named after a Doctor Who character) was Stevie Lynn. I figure no one could screw that up. 😂
@@qwinlyn - I know exactly what you mean about the vowels, my deadname threw people off constantly.

I worked at Disney World for many years and met a little girl named Erzebet. I surprised the heck out of her and her parents by not only correctly pronouncing the name but knowing what it meant (Hungarian form of Elizabeth). According to them, I was the first person outside the family who knew those two things.
The reason for her name is actually very sweet. She was named for a great grandmother, a Hungarian immigrant who fled the Soviets shortly after WWII. I said “You are aptly named, Erzi. She was strong and you are too.”

@@Ri_F I seem to remember a Click video a couple of years back where someone posted the birth of their new son, Covid.

My mom hated that I named my daughter Leilani. She also didn't like how I spelled her first middle name: Rai'An. I wanted to combine the middle names of my bio mom and adoptive mom, but I went to school with a couple Rae Anns, and I didn't want my daughter associated with either of them, so I got creative. It did take a minute to teach her her full name, but she's 16 now, and not only does she love her name, it's actually pretty normal compared to some of the names I've seen in the last decade.
I work in a men’s prison. I’ve seen some interesting names. Imagine naming your sons General, Colonel, Major, Lieutenant and Sergeant and having them all end up in prison. Sergeant told me he also has sisters named Empress, Queenie, and Duchess. I’ve also have met King, Sir and Knight. My all time favorite though, is Orange Astine Brown III. THE THIRD! Sr. and Jr. had also spent time in prison. Then there was Jon Junior IV. Seriously!?
hahahaha
I knew someone named "Orange Peel"; he went by his middle name for so long, that he didn't believe his parents when they told him his real first name until the birth certificate came out from the files. His younger sister's name is "Briana"; guess they only partly learned their lesson.
I personally think Queenie is a fine name for someone but the rest of those definitely don't work lol. King is a great last name though, would be a good name for a pet too
@@ceeshnia that honestly sounds like a bitlife thing
We had an inmate named Hassle. Really. For some reason he didn't think he was wanted by his family
Poor old guy, I don't work there anymore but sometimes wonder if he ever got his life under control
A great way to explain why these tragic names are so bad is because these people treat their kids like they’re gonna be kids forever. “They’re cute so we’re gonna give them cute original names” is a mindset of someone who doesn’t see their tiny human as a cute thing rather than A PERSON just tiny. Kids aren’t pets don’t names them as such
Exactly. You need to think of this name as something that will be on a resume or letterhead.
On the flip side I don’t understand how you name someone a strictly old person name like Barbara or Gary
My great grandma moved from Japan to the US. She asked the local (German-American) butcher for some "American" names. One of the names suggested was "Karl" but Japanese being her first language, he was named "Carol" by accident.
In Europe Carol is a perfectly normal name, a version of Charles. She used the wrong equation, but got the right answer still
When I was younger (around 4 years old), I used to call one of my relatives duck but in Swedish because I couldn't say their name
Whenever someone says “danger is my middle name,” or something similar, I’m reminded of when my mother told me that if I was born a boy my middle name would’ve really been “danger”
My parents were legitimately set on naming me DANGER -
I am trans, specifically genderfluid, and still pissed they didn’t go through with it anyway.
Danger would be a great middle name, for someone self naming.
Do it yourself
i changed my name a while ago, and I'm still working out middle names, but it would be so funny to just have a list of adjectives as my middle names, like danger, caution, hubris, procrastination, secret, ominous, lore, friendship, and plausible
(i probably won't make any of that my legal name, it would be really inconvenient, but it would be hilarious)
I changed my name when i became an adult because I'm also trans non-binary. You should absolutely do it, that'd be epic
aw
A name is the first gift you give your child. Treat it as a gift to them, instead of one to yourself.
This is beautiful
wise. simple. thx.

Funny story actually.
I saw this video and the post within it, and got so mad that I told my discord server of my close friends to never ever name their child Tinderleigh for any reason or I would kill them.
One of them took this as a challenge, and made the name even worse.
Someone else entirely mentioned "Gaylord" at some point.
This friend is now named
"Tiendueyrleiagh Geiayghloardde".
Thank you Click.
I mean, Gaylord is a real historical name. Goes back a few hundred years and everything. bit inconvenient that the word 'gay' means something different now than it did then, of course
I´m German and my name is Cynthia. I live in a country where this nobody can neither spell nor pronounce it. I am called Zinnzia, Sinntia and got a letter adressed to Xyzinzia once. I always loved it when my mum yelled at me as a kid. Zünnti-aaaaaaaaaaaa I make a sound like that when my toes find furniture on my way to the toilet before I do. I am 39 and even my mum respects I want her to call me Cyn instead. Still plenty of people I try to tell the same , but who kindly ignore it and proceed to call me Zyntia (Z is a harsh sound and not as smooth and soft as it is in English. I hate my name to this day and always will, but I can´t change it because in Germany you can only change your name if it is an insult itself in another language, does not indicate gender. It is listed as a name and in Germany we don´t do fancy middle names (at least not common in eastern Germany in the 80s) or adding any number of names from 1 to like 10 to your first name like they do in English speaking countries. In case you happen to have a first and middle name you can change your middle name to your first name. But well, ofc I don´t have that. Forever Xynzia :(
Oh no! Cynthia is such a pretty name, but I don’t think I’d be too fond of it either if even my own mom mispronounced it my entire life. Giving your child a name that you yourself can’t pronounce is a decision with a very threatening aura.
In Poland the employee can refuse to register your kid's name if they think they are inappropriate or harmful to the child, some of rejected names were Nutella, Koka (from Cocaine), Joint, Batman.... 🤦
One would hope US would also have some office worker tell you that your name for the baby is absolutley stupid and will harm the child later in life
It's state-by-state and very lax. Some will ban things like emoji because their system can't type it, some will ban swears. But like, Kentucky has no laws.
Examples of controversial/strange names that have been approved: Messiah, Santa Claus, "Darren QX Bean!", Sexy Crabtree, Ynot Bubba, and Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-bop-bop.
There's also states that don't legally require you to name your child, I'm sure with specific circumstances, such as Michigan and Nevada.
@@Bruh-on-main Oh thank you!! Good to know! But also horrifying seeing some of the approved ones 💀
To be fair though, batman is an actual name. The Australian city Melbourne was almost named Batmania after a guy named John Batman.
@@sandrosliske But wasn't that his surname...?
Also I think main language in Australia is english, Poland uses polish, so even our regular names are different from english ones; Wiktoria - Victoria, Mateusz - Matthew, Jakub - Jacob, Grzegorz - Gregory
That and both "bat" and "man" are totally different words in polish than in english, and the only "Batman" written like "Batman" in polish is the superhero
And I don't think any polish kid will be like "oh they're called Batman like the city in Australia!" 😆
@@wikitygrys was just giving an example of Batman being an actual fucking name mate.
My 12 year old self really thought, the worst names a baby could get was old names that I associated with 70+ year olds. As I have grown older, I have been exposed to the true horrors of baby names.

3:23 this reminded me of a story I heard online, where people took their tortoise to the vet, but said his name was Susan. This so because they were too embrassed to say that his real name was Voldetort.

@maevetravis2123 as long as their name doesn't mean something humiliating in a language commonly taught in school, that's fine.
Unlike for example Nemo, which is Latin for NOBODY.

Something like this happened many years ago to an Israely friend. They had named one son Itai (a common name in Israel). And since the dad was the captain of a tradeship the family sometimes joined him. In Japan the son got lost and the mother ran around calling his name. Several Japanese people were very concerned and wanted to call an ambulance. Itai in Japanese means horrible pain.
horse names are the wildest thing ever, like genuinely
I once worked in a stable where there was a horse called 'Kissing me softly'...
no, I'm not joking
The reason for that is, depending on the breed, the animal has to be named starting with the same initial as the sire. You can give the repeat name to offspring and number it, e.g. Paradox II, but otherwise the name can't be the same as that of another of the same breed already registered. So you start running out of normal names pretty quickly Xd
My favourite weird horse name is "Some Strange Twist of Fate".
My father is a horseback ride instructor, so I grew up around horses. I've seen a lot of weird names, but none came close to that.
Best horse name ever: Fifty Shades of Hay. I don't bet, but it was hard not to bet on a horse with that name.
@claudialupper oh my god. Yes
Also dog names. I know of someone who named their dogs Sniper and Remington. Guess what their favorite amendment is?
Wait, I actually have one of these! A childhood friend of mine named his kid Sephiroth. It's extra funny because my most vivid memory of that friend was him ninja running at me with a big katana.
10:32 i heard about this horse, and the tale with it is that the horses owner entered him and due to miscommunication, they put oooooooo instead of 8 o's
This is a true story according to my old friend who was a camp counselor. At his camp they had young girl name Le-a. "Lee-ah, Lay-ah?" He'd ask. "No" she replied, "it's pronounced Ledasha. The dash ain't silent."
Oh weird. I knew a dude who worked in a university doing intake either for students or new employees (I don't recall which) and he can't across a La-a. She explained her name using the same wording, too!

My daycare nanny named her child Peasant. My asked her why she would do that to her child, she replied with a shocked expression and said, "But don't you know, it's a beautiful bird!" 🙈 Dear parents, BEFORE you sign it on the birth certificate, please make sure you spell the name CORRECTLY. This girl has been mocked relentlessly, because her mother couldn't spell Pheasant. A simple mistake perhaps, but a lifelong disaster.
Even if you spell it correctly, be aware of pop culture history around the world. Anyone who hasn't tried to sing the pheasant plucker song at least once at a party, really needs to.
Uf ... if in my old school she would have prob. commited to not existing anymore ... people got bullied soooo bad (i almsot got unalived once) ... if someone called "peasant" would have been around they would have been the main target for some Father and motherless Bullies .... UF

My sons name was Dagon. I say it was because he recently had it changed through the courts. I'm still hurt, but he's an adult, and I made the mistake of telling him the other name I had in mind. Should've kept my mouth shut on this one. Now Dagon, for everyone who doesn't know, is Ancient Phoenician and means God of the Earth. In the Bible, King Davids head was taken to the Temple of Dagon.

At least Carlie isn't too bad, relatively speaking.
@@myaren0101Renesme Carlie Cullen was the name she ended up getting with the name for it she had been a boy being Edward Jacob Cullen. Both are weird but naming your childs middle name after your orbiter simp friend is weiiiiiiirrd especially considering Jacob later imprints on her.

Okay so when Click said jokingly that his middle name was Danger
That was almost literally my middle name
My parents opted out at the last second because "what if he just grows up to be a wimp" and I still resent them for it my middle name could have literally been Danger. I could have said "My middle name is Danger" with a completely straight face.
Danger IS your middle name
Would sound like from the movies
Also he did it wrong. His name should have been Atlyn Kay...
At least it sort of sounds like a name?
My last name would've been slaughter
You know, if you choose a name for yourself, it's no longer a tragedeigh because you're not forcing it on a child. If only there were an easier way to legally change your name, you could simply change your middle name to Danger if you wanted to.
I honestly think that everyone deserves at least one free name change. Perhaps it could become a cultural "coming of age" thing, where kids are given temporary names at birth and then choose their own name in their teens or adulthood.
@@LoremIpsum-dp1liYES. That'd be so much better, especially for those of my friends who go by different, more gender-comfortable names.

Cringe names aren't limited to the Millennials. Two jobs ago, a woman would come in every week to send money to her son. Circumcision.
Us millennials grow up reading about celebrities giving their children weird names. So I guess I’m not really that surprised that it’s becoming more and more of a thing.
@@palesgensler3099 Yup, I remember the stir about Moon Unit Zappa and it seems to have only gotten worse among some celebrities.

Had a girl in my Spanish class a couple years back named "Haleigh," pronounced "Hailey"
She was a bold and attention seeking girl, so whenever i talked sbout her to my friends, i used the name "sleigh" 😭😭
I had a hard enough time growing up with my given name slightly misspelt - "in" instead of "en." No personalized mugs, shirts, etc, and I always had to spell it out for everyone, and everyone STILL got it wrong! I even had to turn my diploma back in so it could be spelled properly (normally I would've not made a fuss, but, like a birthday card is one thing, but you need to have your college diploma spelled correctly!)
Then, some thirty years passed, and my name became heinous for another reason.

Go to German speaking countries, there it's fine
In France Karine (silent final E) is a very common name for a woman. Nothing wrong here! See, depends on the country... :) We also have Karens, but we pronounce it ka-rain. Karine is pronounced ka-reen.
@@max_punchKeren is a hebrew name and can be used as a name variant of Karen. So, completely legit and quite old in usage. Also Karin is a german name, used quite often here. Different name spellings and meanings to similar sounding names exist.
Imagine yelling at your children for calling another child 'harlot' only to find out that THAT'S actually the girl's name.
Hopefully the mom dragged her daughter right back to the hospital to change the name...
My birth name wasn’t a quarter as bad as these names, but enough people mispronounced and misspelled it that I did end up changing it when I was in my 20s. Luckily, it’s a straightforward process (at least in America) so these poor kids won’t have too much trouble getting theirs changed when they’re old enough.

As someone with an apostrophe in my last name, I can 100% assure using special characters in a name is assuring a life of problems with banks, the government, and poorly programed apps. That's with what is probably the most common special character in a name too. I can't imagine the hell with Greek symbols.
