The Bimbo in German is equivalent to the N-word in english. That guy would get a lot of even more raised eyebrows if he ever travels to German speaking countries.
I was around my friends house one day and his sister and her husband were there. The sister informed us that she was pregnant and they'd decided, if it was a boy, he'd be called Steven Oliver. I pointed out "You do realise his initials will be S O D?" She had an OMG moment and decided that was not such a great idea.
A few months later I met her again and they'd had the child. A boy. I asked what they'd called him after all. Apparently it was Simon Oliver. I pointed out that still leaves him with the initials S O D. She and her husband (who was there this time) had another OMG moment. Then when I said "don't tell me I didn't warn you" It caused a heated argument between her and her husband because she should have realised and now it's too late because the boys name is now registered.
My grandma apparently wanted to name by aunt Candace Barbara so she could call her "Candy Bar"
That's kind of cute actually.
Well, it's definitely not a bad thing. You have a normal name, and a cut nickname. Honestly parents wanting cute nicknames for their kids just sounds normal.
🤣
I went to school with a girl named Candy Kane, back in 1970.
If your grandmother would have gotten her way, and both girls in the same class... Role call: Candy Kane, Candy Bar...
🤣😂😆😁🤣😂😆😁🤣😂😆😁
Hahaha, I kind of like it.
I was a substitute teacher and saw plenty of odd names. Every kid named Princess or Precious were brats.
I knew a beautiful, very sweet girl named Precious.
I knew a 6’6” college basketball player named Precious who moved into my apartment building. Excellent person !
He’d just moved in one week prior to me calling out for help to assist me in picking up my 90 year old dad when he took a fall in the kitchen - Precious immediately jumped into action along with another neighbor, and they had him up and back to his recliner in the living room with a gentle quickness and many thanks. I will never forget Precious ! ❤
My late husband & daughter named my youngest "Jaden" _just_ before Britney Spears did & the trend _really_ took off. (I've regretted naming him Jaden name ever since.) Why? Well, _EVERY_ class he's ever been in had any variety of this: 5 Jadens, 2 Jaidens, 2 Braydens, 1 Aidens, 1 Daylin & 1 Jaylen! For 13 _straight years!_ Those poor teachers had a real rough time with those classes. Say one name & several answer? Oh no, no, no. I'd pulled out a nickname binder or _something_ on day 1. 😂😂😂😂
I'm not a medical official, but I still wanna contribute.
One of *THE* worst baby names I've ever seen is *X Æ A-Xii Musk*
Yeah. But, he's an asshole
How is it even pronounced?
@@Azulakayes
Believe it or not, this is a revision of the ORIGINAL name. Good god (poor kid)
Ok. 'X- ASH-twelve" there you have it
@@ParkAvenue34 Why the hell would anybody give their child a mathematical formula for a name?
@@rainbowpegacornstudios
The same unbalanced person who calls herself GRIMES. classy is as classy does
In basic training I met a gentleman named John Deer, John carried around a copy of his brothers birth certificate because wanted to show everyone he was the lucky one. His brothers name was Rudolph Dwayne Deer.
John Deer? Isn't that the name of a lawn mower?
If people don't get why this is absolutely hilarious say Rudolph Dwayne Deer out loud. I would also want to see the birth certificate to believe that is true.
@@jrideout2802oh my god
I’m surprised his middle name wasn’t just rain, but I guess that would be too red on the nose.
I always wince when I hear of an American girl named Verucca after the character in the Willy Wonka story.
The parents presumably didn't know that a Verucca is a painful and contagious infected wart that can occur on feet.
Roald Dahl doubtless named the character in line with her nasty personality.
Doesn’t Willy Wonka literally state in the book that that’s LITERALLY what that is???
@@rulerzreachf4n34 Doubtless, but I would imagine most, if not all those American parents who used the name for their daughter learned it from watching the film, the original Gene Wilder version, NOT from reading the book. As far as I know the meaning of Verucca is never mentioned in the film.
Those poor kids when they learn the meaning
@@veenatamara4543 I wonder if they ever forgive their parents
@sooskevington6144 I always thought it meant "Blessed" in Hebrew (barukha/varukha for a girl or barukh/varukh for a boy). I guess that was just wishful thinking.
Think that's bad? Poor guy was named, Peter Ennis Nickletit. Apparently a nickletit has something to do with nickle mining where his ancestors came from. In his college years he owned it and would abbreviate his name to, P. Ennis Nickletit. His friends and family just called him Pete.
I probably would have called him Dick.
The metal is "nickel" as is that part in the name, do him the favor of spelling it right for once. But at least you didn't spell it "Nichelltit" I guess.
@@impishrebel5969 Apologies for offending you. My tablet and phone are always plotting against me in spelling and syntax. With my habit of quickly hitting send/post, without a read through first, shenanigans abound. Yesterday I sent a text to my daughter and my phone changed things up so much the message read as though from a hip hop artist. Another 5 or 10 years and I'm sure the technology will progress to the point that such inadvertent offensive posts shall waiver if not disappear.
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Had friends name their daughter Praylene, hoping to give their daughter a religious nomenclature, but unaware that a praline is just a sweet little nut.
Not a baby, but a tween my mother taught about 30 years ago. The girl’s name was Cleotris. Teachers had to pronounce that name VERY carefully… (The girl went by Cleo, by the way.)
My mother also taught a set of twins named Liberti and Justiss. Dad was active duty military. I wanted to know if their last name was "Forall." (It was not.)
I went to school with a Ruth Canal. Seriously, what were her parents thinking? We had one teacher who LOVED saying her name at roll call each morning, always shortening the "th" to a "t" sound.
Are you for real? That's insane
I knew a brother and sister at Auburn University named Liberty and Justice Leak. Justice became an actor, he was in Vampire Diaries
I remember that there was a kid whose parents named him "Budgie!" That was his real name, not a nickname!
like… like the bird?! 😂
@@firegirl4707 You could say that! 😂
With the exclamation mark?
@WONDERBOIY The exclamation point is not part of his name. I was using it at the end of the sentence.
@@melissacooper8724Then it should be outside of the quotation marks.
About 4 decades ago I used to take newspaper ads for a living. One of our customers was named Green Savage. Another was Princess (she had a German last name, which I can't recall). But my favorite name was Ruby Champagne! Wherever you are, Ruby, you have an awesome name.
I knew a Princess.
The family were hillbillies and it was always said in a thick southern drawl.
prin-Cess.
I went to school with a kid called Prince Albert. (Prince was his first name, Albert was his surname)
I once had a classmate in 3rd grade named Elbow, and a lunch lady named Chin.
Elbow was the weird kid, unsurprisingly, and once threw a stapler at our English Teacher.
Chin was cool, she was really nice.
In case that there has been a pregnancy where the baby might not survive, in my culture at least, we have something that translates to air baptism. It’s when as soon as the baby is pushed out, the doctor or midwife gives the baby a meme just so it won’t die unbaptized. Therefore it’s important to let your hospital staff know the name you’d have chosen because else it’s just gonna be something like Mary, or Sophia or something common like that.
I had a neighbor who named her daughter, "Barackeesha" and she only goes by Keisha. I know some who named their kids Catniss and Bella when those movies were trendy.
Please tell me Catniss goes by Catnip
Apparently Puritans had a tradition of flipping to a random page in the Bible, and naming their baby the first thing they saw. there's _no_ possible way THAT could go wrong!
"Oh Thou, come meet your baby sister Harlot," said Leprosy.
EDIT: did a search, fortunately that wasn't the method.
I rather like Harlot. Really.
I like to think that's how my ancestor Nebuzaradan got named. It's mentioned exactly once in the Bible, and he wasn't even a good guy. My ancestor apparently shortened it to Nebu. I would've gone with Dan so I could at least pretend to have a normal name. 😂
One of my friends loves the movie Tangled and decided to name her daughter Corona after the kingdom that Rapunzel is from in the movie. She is now calling her daughter by her middle name.
Corona has been more commonly used for the toyota car or alcohol. Even before Covid. That's surprising she used it.
I know what you mean after mid 2020 when Quarantine started
A coworker let her Mom name her daughters. She named them Diamond, Sapphire, and Emerald.
Pokemon fan lol
Sapphire seemly isn't that weird, also *Esmeralda*
Hell naw that's horrible, she should of named them Ruby, Sapphire and Esmeralda ( commenter above said that)
I work at a craft studio that is aimed mostly at kids. We had a kid come in for a birthday party whose name was Fred Incorporated. His parents had different surnames, so we thought maybe he was a foster kid and they were trying to keep his identity anonymous. Nope, turns out he's their biological kid, his parents are just weird as fuck LOL.
If you want to name your kid tangerine, just name them Clementine. It’s a pretty name that’s not weird and clementines are a type of tangerine.
Really? I think of the song "My Darling Clementine" when I hear the name.
l knew a Clementine, her mum shortened it to Clemmy ,l always thought it sounded like a cross between clammy and phlegmy
I knew a Clementine. She was my hairdresser. My name is actually Georgia, which isn't truly that common so when I originally booked in at the place and they told me who would be available the day I wanted to come in and heard her name was Clementine I went "Oh yes, her please! We can commiserate over names."
Clementine is one of those old-fashionedy and quirky enough names that it CAN be made fun of, but it still kinda sounds like a legit name to me. I wouldn't necessarily give it to a real kid, but I've definitely named my Sims stuff like that. I also have a snail named "Clementine" in a cute game about growing plants (Viridi). It seems like a good snail name.
(Click "Read More" if you want to learn the backstory of little Clementine the Sim, otherwise ya don't have to. Warning: It's long.)
One time, in Sims 2, I had a "Rainbow Family" theme challenge, where the idea was, there were several families around the neighborhood, named, and dressed like, and with houses decorated in, their theme color. So the Red family, the Orange family, the Yellow family, etc. The idea was to marry them into each other and see which last name and which color genetics lasted the longest (I also had downloaded a lot of custom genetics, so I could totally give people things like orange skin and yellow eyes, as well). And you'd end up with fun combinations like someone's last name being "Purple" but they still had the red skin from their grandmother, stuff like that.
When I got to the orange family, I had the most fun naming them after fruits, and of course little Clementine was the first born. Then her twin brother (!) popped out, and I was at a loss for a _boy_ orange name. I eventually settled on "Hunter", as in the flourescent orange vests hunters wear in the woods so they can be spotted by other hunters as a human. The place I live is kinda redneckish sometimes, so "Hunter Orange" is totally a cromulent color name. :P
The colors of the Rainbow Families were, if I remember correctly: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, Brown, White, Black, Grey. So we ended up with a whole neighborhood full of kids named "Brick Red" and "Sunny Yellow", and messages popping up about "Kelly Green has brought a friend home from school!" who turned out to be named "Hyacinth Purple". I not only was fine with this kind of chaos, I REVELLED in it. I mean, duh. I'm the one who deliberately named them all that. :P
(The Black family house was not brown, but pure BLACK. As you might imagine, that made it hard to see things in it, since I of course had put black furniture against black walls and floors. I did this to myself out of my own free will.)
One thing I found out by doing this--which I already kinda knew but challenges like this really slam it HOME--is how much easier it is to find color names for girls, than it is for boys. Colors, nature things, all kinds of stuff--so naming the daughters of the Rainbow Families was like walking down the street, whereas with the boys I had to whip out the thesaurus and the 96-color Crayola box.
My cousin's older daughter is named Clementine. I can't help but think of that song.
Saw it on local news, named their kids, Abcde, Fgehij, Klmno, etc etc. Kids are adults now and fortunately, they didn't get bullied for it. They were pretty chill about it and the only downside they claim to have is that people don't believe it's their legit names. So they always bring their official birth certificate when applying for jobs or getting other official documents.
I have seen Abcde before. Weird
ABCDE, pronounced "Ab-sid-Ee". If I remember correctly, Mom & child got thrown off a plane....
Not quite the same, but when my dad chose a Saint's name for his Confirmation, he speciffically chose St. Anothony so that his initials would be CLAP.
Are you catholic as well?
yes@@Elodie-xi3pp
My name would be perfectly fine if i was from the southern United States, but being a biological female from Canada, it was a massive pain in the rear when i was a kid. It was my Dad's idea, he named me after a character, Billie Joe Bradley from a television show called Petticoat Junction, even worse my Mom agreed as long as my dad allowed her to change the spelling, so not only is my name constantly misspelled but when i'm online i have to deal with some who think that i'm male because of it. I'm a living example of Johnny Cash's song, A Boy Named Sue, lol
Anywhere in the U.S., really. I'm only about 3 hours from the Canadian border. I know 2 Billi's, and 7 Billie's - all female. 3 of those "Billie's" also have the middle name "Jean". All 3 were born BEFORE Michael Jackson's Thriller album came out, but still...the teasing they got in elementary/middle school...ouch!
I remember hearing a story from a coworker whose sister was a labor and delivery nurse in the deep south. They had a teenage girl give birth to her daughter and thought that was it. The doctor told her she still had to deliver the placenta, and she thought that was so pretty she named her poor daughter Placenta! Poor girl!
A former governor of Texas, James Stephen Hogg, named his daughter "Ima."
My aunt knew someone who their family, with the last name "Dahl" pronounced "doll" named their daughter barbie
Many with that same last name pronounce it "Dale".
I went to a big grocery warehouse store in metro Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the 1980s. My cashier's name tag read "Shiteena." I called her "Ma'am."
Florida Mom names daughter Shiteena, giving her no chance in life.
That New Zealand weightlifter is named Precious Patrick McKenzie. And he apparently holds the world record for heaviest lift in his weight class. He's 4'9" weighs 123lbs, and the record lift was over 1300lbs... dayum...
Back in the late 1960s, when Hippies were abundant, I heard a report of a child being named 'Sunshine Sweetwater...' I thought he (yes, a man child) would learn to fight rather early.
The irony is that chanterelles are actually highly sought after edible mushrooms.
“Starlite Champale” I thought it was an alcoholic beverage 😂🇺🇸
When I was a cashier, I had to look at photo IDs to verify credit cards. I'll never forget verifying the name Omega Angel for a man that was probably in his 60s or so at the time. It was probably in the 2010s when I saw this name.
My name was almost my birth month, and it wouldn't have been April, May, or June. But she heard someone else call their child the name she was considering and didn't like how it sounded.
In college, there was an April-Mae Joon. She was Korean, Joon being a fairly common surname.
I worked at a daycare in AZ around 1994 and I had some really awful names in my class..Molesta, Rim Jay, Bleck and Polaris. I truly hope that those poor kids grew up and learned about name changing! 🤪
I have two "interesting" name stories. The first one has to do with my oldest sister. Who, bc of her extreme prematurity was almost named Poncho, since my parents hadn't thought of a name yet. The second one has to do with me and my middle name. Originally it was going to be Elvira. But when my mom remembered that Elvira was also the name of a tv show witch, she changed her mind. Naming me after an American state instead. Lastly, my last sister(who's original name abbreviation was AMS), changed her name. So now, AMS has changed to PMS.🤦♀️
Nice to meet you, Rhode Island.
Porcelain. Might as well have named her toilet.
Or "Baking Dish".
My mom used to work at a hospital and saw twins named lemonjello and orangejello (Yes, they are named after a dessert)..... By that regard Galileo is a fine name
The Lemonjello story has also been going around since at least the 1960's. Keep scrolling the comments, I'm sure someone will bring up Ima Hogg (the only such story that's actually true).
I worked at a bakery years ago and tool a birthday cake ordered with those names..not something you forget!
I've read the Lemonjello and Orangejello ones many times. Which makes me wonder... Are they fake? Do all of these people know the same Lemonjello and Orangejello? Or, are there a bunch of Lemonjellos and Orangejellos are out there? 🧐😂
My cousin named her daughter Yoko Ono. But a cousin of her husband named their daughter Cherokee Sunshine. It was like a competition of horrible names. Oh, and it was the 70s. 😄😳
I work in medical and some of the names I've come across are questionable, some of which are normal names with weird spellings. Some of my favorites are: Biyonkkhah (Bianca), Dazen (pronounced the the hotel Day's Inn), Jathan (Jason+Nathan?), Jennipher(yes, with a PH, not an F), Blandy (not Brandy(, and Female (but pronounced like Tamale)
We lived in New York. My daughter had a classmate named Jennifa. Because that's how they pronounced Jennifer anyway.
A distant relative was supposed to be named after their family friends, the Zimmermans. What he actually got named was Zinnamon. This was back in the day in Alabama, so I don't know whether it sounded like Zinnamon in a southern drawl or they just couldn't spell. 😂
@MaineCoonMama18 oh that poor kid
I met a kid years ago named Jedi. His parents were big Star Wars fans.
I met a guy a couple of years ago with a son named Jett. Laughed a lot like Santa Claus, and ran like a madman to get out of our theater because TFA was still there. Haven't seen him in a while, but he laughed at my Star Wars joke...
My dad’s physical therapist actually goes by Jedi - his full first name is Jedidiah.
When my mom was born the parents sharing the room with her parents named their daughter Cinderella. No joke.
My dad got the wrong name, because the priest didn’t hear well at his baptism and gave him a similar name but not the one he was supposed to have. It’s Greek though so I don’t think everyone will understand if I explain it, but he was supposed to be named Vaggelis, the priest baptized him as Aggelis and after that he’s been called Aggelos. And my name is Angelica, but if my dads name had been Vaggelis as it was supposed to, then my name would have been Vaggelio.
I went to school with someone whose name was Ben Parker. Awesome name for all you Spider-Man fans out there
My kids names are Persephone, Theseus, and Apollo. I love Greek mythology and their names are all meaningful and have strong roots to them
My grandma always wanted twins named peter and prudence so she could call them pete and pru. She named my mom Toy Suzanne but my grandpa wouldnt sign the birth certificate so she ended up Connie Sue (his name was Conrad) and sister was Cindy Lou.They both danced and made up stage name.....Suzanne Suzette Sous and Cinderella Louise Londonstar. They called eachother the stage names until they died.
I worked at different schools and I remember two funny names that stuck out. I guess my favourite is still Cindy-Cinderella.
Why is her second name just the longer version of her first name? That doesn‘t go into my head.
My Father in law wanted to name my husband Brutus. Thankfully, my MIL talked him out of it.
I delivered the newspaper to a guy named Jack Enoff.
I was walking in the park with a friend when we heard a mom yelling at her child "Galatea, stop running". We fell on the ground laughing.
My karate teacher in college was named Peter Rabbit.
Re: the person who said that guys named Vincent will always turn out to be assholes:
my childhood best friend's brother's name is Vincent (he was also a classmate in secondary school for a bit), but he was actually a really sweet guy. Maybe we just got along bc we were both neurodivergent (I was recently diagnosed autistic, he has ADHD), but we'd almost always cycle to school together and I genuinely enjoyed hanging around him. Absolutely _hated_ the rest of my class though, with only 3 other guys (I was the only girl) as exceptions
Huh? Vincent is a normal name, just not popular these days: Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Price, Vincent D'Onofrio. Have you never seen a Mafia movie? Half of those NY guys are called Vinny as a nickname for Vincent.
@@tracyschiff3669 I was replying to the person in the video who said that guys named Vincent will always turn out to be assholes

@@tracyschiff3669 Also Alice Cooper. His birth name is Vincent.
My dad legitimately wanted to name my older sister Star Slayer Leia Sanders.
It is not often you hear someone non-swede pronounce snövit correct, it did bum me out they did not do the same for törnrosa, but can't have everything :D
I always wanted to call a daughter Lily, my cousin thought it was adorable and named her daughter that. So I went on to my second choice, Evelyn, another cousin took that one. My third choice was Charlotte, the first cousin took that one too. Nobody in my family has laid claim to my fourth choice yet, Samantha, but my wife has said "absolutely not". Hopefully, no one takes Sophie before I can grab it, lord knows I'm not telling anyone in my family that I like that name!
Is chamomile a good name for a girl
I was going to Sarah, Rachel, Rebecca or Emma but other people in the family got there first so my deadname was an ‘Oh fuck it. The kid needs a name’.
I would insist on Samantha. 😊
The names Duncan and Harriet are banned in Iceland. Two reasons. First, theres no C in the Icelandic alphabet and Harriet cant be conjugated in their language. I was almost named Steven when I was born except there was a Steven in my family that never managed to stay on the good side of the law, and my dads family were concerned about me having a record a mile long before I was even born
My mom, who kept her maiden name, decided to hyphenate my last name. Her last name was 9 letters, my dad' 8.
Also i had two middle names, so of course when i was able to, i changed my last name to three letters, before taking my husband's last name (who wanted to hyphenate his name onto my first one, i said i didnt want my kids getting bullied)
Dang, I hope your other names aren't long too! If I marry my current boyfriend, my full name will be 31 letters total. His last name is 10 letters and I want to keep all of my names. Not sure it would fit on a driver's license. 😂
My nickname for my youngest sister is Monster! Just a nickname, though. And it's not meant to be mean, it comes from an Alice in Wonderland reference from when we were little. (Sister is blond and blue-eyed, reminded me of Alice, who the unicorn labels "a fabulous monster.")
Black boy named Master. Caused a lot of derision by the kids. Cap'n. Dad owned a fish restaurant.
Not just the men, but the women, and the children, too?
Yeah more countries definintly need some sort of bad name prevention system
my family, especially my father's side
with his mother's family having such names like Bessie (strong old lady from what I heard from my grandma), and her mother Sophronia "Frona" who was one of the first settlers in Montana, while her mother Eunice was one of the first in Kansas
my grandfather Jacob (pronounced Yak-ob, went by his middle name Arnold), and his mother Emmerentia, and his sister Merentia, and her husband Engelbrecht
granted my grandfather's side were all Dutch Afrikaners
Stop making me want to name the children I may well have in 10 years Calamitas, Catastrophe, Cataclysm, and Bloodshed!
I also have a co-worker who's name is very similar to bacon. We kinda poke fun at him, but, basically everyone pokes fun at eachother one way or another.
One of the worst I heard was a friend of a friend naming their kid Trouble because they thought it would be fun to say "Here comes Trouble!" That poor kid. The other name I heard a friend's nephew being named was Silence. Ick.
Chardonnay is not the name of an expensive wine, it is a type of white wine. There are tons and tons of different chardonnays, you can get a super expensive one but you can also get a cheap $4 bottle too.
I went to Junior High school with kids named James Jesse (flip the words around), Richard Simmons (RIP the real Richard Simmons) and Jenny (thankfully, short for Jennifer) Craig.
Justin Case from high school and the kid was a tool. Thought it was intentional and met the mom. Then I wondered if it was on purpose.
When one of my friend was born, his mother wanted to call him Matteo (a very common name in my country) his father instead wanted to call him Morgan because: "if you say Matteo out loud, in 25 will answer". In the end the mother won.
My father wanted to name me Darth. I’ll never forgive my mother for not letting it happen.
So you could be the Senate?
It’s not exactly bad, but my teacher told me her great great grandmother didn’t know she was having twins so she added a letter. Annette and Nannette.
I was hopping vor Anette and Benette
My grandma is a twin. Her mom didn’t know she was having twins, so they used the named they had already chosen and named the second one after the nurse. The names rhyme and have almost the same meaning.
I like that!
at first my dad wanted to name my older brother "dashing," and have his middle name be "daring..." 😭😭😭😭
Mr. Bates introduced his son as "Master Bates"...

I also met a British couple who named their three daughters after Kenyan lakes: Baringo, Naivasha, and Bogoria. Their surname was Davies.

Okay, but Loki is epic either way.
@@CassidyQueso I just find it supremely tacky to name your kid after a fictional character and/or a deity.

I thought Latrine was a terrible name to give anyone! But someone thought it was great enough to pin it with a picture on my Doctor's baby bulletin board!!!
I was half expecting that story I've heard where a couple said their daughter's name was "Sophie", and then explained it was spelled: "C-O-F-F-E-E.
...guys, while that _technically_ could still be pronounced as "Sophie" according to the vagaries of English phonetics, your daughter is STILL gonna be called "Starbucks" all her life. :D
Weirdest I've run into in real life is typical hippie names, like "Sunny" (a girl in my math class) and a fellow band member actually named "William Shakespeare". Shakespeare was legit his family name, but GOD DAMN you did _not_ have to pick that particular first name, parents. (There was also a "Michael J. Fox" in my high school band, but he would've been born before the actor became famous, so I'll let that one go as a funny coincidence.)
One kid told his little brothers name to my neighbour. My neighbour laughed so hard, thinking it was a joke. It wasn't. Awkward 😆
I heard a little girl being called by her parents, her name was Gentry. I worked with someone who's first name was Senator.
To whoever said Vincent is a problem child name
I wasn't a problem child, I just went to a school where solving the problem required aggression (but in all seriousness my friends love me but anyone who was bully hated me because I was willing to get myself in trouble dealing with them)
The ironic part is I was also the smart kid with high grades that sat in the back of the class and read books when my work was done
I love the name Vincent and Vinny ❤
@@beccaboo3040 most people call me Vince but I've been called Vinny and Vinn by friends
There was a boy named BeBé in my friend's daughter's class in elementary school. The daughter is now 51 years old. Can you imagine a grown man being called Bebé. (Pronounce BayBay)
I used to work as a school bus driver for students with special needs and had the sweetest pair of brothers. Two absolute angels. Their parents named them Dorkus and Nimrod. I hope those boys are doing well, in spite of their parents' choices
Those are biblical names. The family is probably very very religious and has no concept of the slang. Dorcus is a lady.... can't remember anything else.
Dorkus… Dork. Okay, that’s terrible. Nimrod should be fine, aside from the occasional joke about his “rod”.
I shouldn’t have laughed as hard as I did when they mentioned that Sunni is always fighting with her sister Shia 😭
My husband went to school with a kid named Mercury Constellation Starcruiser... he had several siblings, but I only know two names. Galaxy Kittyhawk (Sister) and Mars Millennium Falcon (Brother).
People should be able to have one free legal name change at age 18 in the US, no questions asked.
My father's mother started a familial habit of naming daughters after both their grandparents as an act of appeasement toward both sides, because when she was born it was apparently a huge embarrassment to her father that he couldn't name her after HIS father. (He may have been my great-grandfather, but he was not a great guy.) Hence, my aunt Tracy nearly ended up as Earnestine Virgilette. One of my cousins is named after our grandmother, and her hyphenated middle name is a combination of her maternal great-grandmother and paternal grandmother so that all bases are covered and no one can possibly be offended to have been left out. Realizing this really put me off using any names from either side of my family, and now all of my top choices are brand new. Daisy Jane, Alena Rose, Jesse William, and Liam Garland are my tops because they all contain original names and won't spell anything.
In my husband’s culture, Cornelius is not common, but not uncommon. They usually go by Cornie.
My name is Courtney, which confuses anyone whose first language isn't English. I end up getting called Corny and trying not to giggle about it.
@@MaineCoonMama18 my husband’s dad has a speech impediment, coupled with a heavy accent. He calls my husband Courtney! 😂🤣
I met a classmate from preschool in a supermarket a few weeks ago. She had her first child, a boy, and named him Frodo
A LOTR fan indeed.
@@johntracy72 My mother : Omg, that poor boy will be moobed at school
My mom wanted to name me Waltraud, which means "strong woman." I am forever grateful to my grandma for suggesting Kathryn.
7:37 THATS MY CLASSMATE’S NAME 😭
was not expecting to hear my own name in this video, ouch 😢
When I was born, my dad tried to name me Sparky! It's been a running joke all my life. LOL Now, it would fit my personality. But could you imagine growing up? I'd have ppl whistling at me all day!😂
The jokes in this one where absolutely on point!
I worked in human services for 40 years and we had a baby boy named Starbright. Mama said she wished on a star and that was how she got pregnant so she wanted to honor him with the name.
I knew a Vincent in elementary school because our moms were friends. He was the opposite of a pain in the neck.
I love the name chanterelle. I don't care if it's a mushroom.
I’m not sure if this is a nickname or his actual name but my theater tech class has dude named hazmat
Update: his name actually is hazmat, another student came in to give him a pass and was completely confused by his name being hazmat
Our last name is Frank, so when my brother was born we tried to get our parents to name him Frank Frank, and call him Frank to the Second Degree. They refused.
We had a boy at school named William Williams. He was called Bill
@@VMM34The guy who played Lando Calrissian's full name is William December Williams.
@@doomsdayrabbit4398 That's actually quite nice! 😊
lmao knew someone named mortynn (as in Martin) like what drugs do you have to be on
I remember something like this was mentioned on the radio where you could call-in. If you knew someone with a strange name anyway, a school teacher called in and said that she is to teach a little girl named Caitlin, but with the number eight in it if you know what I mean
I call my iPhone 8 KVIIIlyn.
I was a substitute teacher. One foreign student was named Liki (pronounced leaky) Peter. Another student was named Penny Hoar.
Bimbo is also a brand of soap in some places. I'm not sure if that is better or worse than bread.
I work in a prison. Once I ran across a prisoner named Orange Brown III. Middle name was Rastine. I did a search and found that Orange Brown Jr. and Orange Brown Sr. were also in prison, at different units.
Went to school with boy and girl twins - named Pride and Joy. Pride used his middle name once he grew up.
In New Zealand, parents aren't allowed to name their kids after punctuation marks.
That's good
@@merricat3025 Yes, but it is weird to think about the need for that rule.
