😂 If you can't pronounce Raven, there's a problem. How about my grandmother's maiden name - Desruisseaux Hint: Its French (Quebecois but IDK if they pronounce names differently with differing French dialects).
My name was almost Katelyn Korrin Keenen before my sister noticed the initials...my parents then changed it to Katelyn Corrin Keenen. Thank god for my sister because that would've been unfortunate to say the least😬

The original word was Mongoloid and was used to describe people of East Asia, but then was used as a slur for people with Downs. Then got shortened to Mongo. People are so very cruel.
I have never heard the word used in the US as far as I can remember, but in England there's "mong" which is basically the same thing, I didn't realize it was such a common word
@@mermaidismyname Mungo is a reasonably common boys first name in Scotland. Mungo Park being a famous explorer back in history. St Mungo ( AKA Saint Kentigern ) is the patron saint of Glasgow. You get the occasional Cuthbert and Ninian in Scotland too - both being originally saints.
@@AdeleD79 at least in the south west of England, it's also been shortened to mong to be an insult for people who are so ugly that they are beyond "minging". Though I'm guessing that ming came from the same word. I've been called all these things. Just ended up thinking about cute Asian girls tbh
When I first learned how this name was spelled I was like "but...there's no b sound?" But now that I know more about linguistics I know that b and v are related, kinda cool actually, but it's still definitely not how an American ear would spell those sounds
In case anyone is curious about the most popular baby names in Sweden 2019: Boys: Lucas, Liam, William, Elias, Noah, Hugo, Oliver, Adam, Matteo Girls: Alice, Olivia, Astrid, Maja, Vera, Ella, Wilma, Alma, Lilly
My sister told me she had a patient with hydrocephalus and his mother called him Brian. But, because the mother didn’t know how to spell it and apparently the official at the registry office in this East German town didn’t either, the child’s name on official documents etc. was Brain.
This is such a German mistake, tbh, because the German 'a' sound is like in the British 'can’t' and the German 'i' sound is an English 'e', so ia and ai are confused a lot.
my dad wanted to call me aiofa because my last name is edwards and it sounds like 'e for edwards' in his lancastrian accent. That's my dad's sense of humor in a nutshell
So alot of people seem to get this wrong, the name Saoirse and is pronounced ‘Soar-sha’ by a good few people, especially in the UK, however its an Irish name and is actually pronounced ‘Sear-sha’
Welsh names are great, I’m biased because I’m welsh but they have such nice meanings. Heledd, Bryn, Geraint, Hugh, Alys, Carys, Catrin, Efa, Aled, Cai. I could go on, I just love them
Yes!! I love Welsh names, & I'm not Welsh, unless 1 Welsh ancestor counts, but I nearly called my cat Bryn, & one of my other cats' middle names was Blodwen. I also love Owen & Evan (tho I know they're Anglicised), Llewyn, Rhys, Gareth, Geraint, Bran, Ioan, Iestyn, Rhodri, Seren, Gwendolyn, Gwyneth, Branwen, Bronwen, Ceridwen, Arianwen- pretty much all the girls' names ending in "wen" really! & lots more I can't think of!
@@ArianwenMay Your name is beautiful! And I have come across it; someone had it as their persona name in a mediaeval recreation group, & it suited her perfectly because she had the fairest hair & skin, & as you'd know, Arianwen means silver.
when I lived in the us, there was a neighbour and close family friend named Aoife (pronounced: ee-fah, pretty simple just like the guys in the video did). I know her mom was Irish, I don't remember about her dad but I think he was Irish as well
not sure whether to be happy or offended 🤷🏼♀️ also can confirm that ive been called eyelid + ellie many many times edit - my brothers name is craig and he’s quite hurt
My first name is easy to pronounce and remember but my last name is similar to a common name but said and spelled differently and we're the only family in the UK to have that last name (hence why it isn't in my username) and I have gotten so many variations of it all throughout my life it is so irritating.
I studied Greek mythology at uni and there's a big part of me that wants to whip out the obscure names for my kids but I'm also like most of the girls in mythology got screwed over (literally and figuratively) and it's also setting them up for being teased so maybe not? My faves: - Antigone (killed for burying her brother) (I tangenitally know of an Antigone) - Ariadne (got turned into a spider by Athena) - Hermione (Helen's daughter) - Clytemnestra (Agamemnon's wife) - Athena (goddess of wisdom, petty AF but nice name) - Persephone (goddess of spring/Hades' captured bride) If you want some less obscure ones: - Cassandra - Helen - Perceus - Jason
Interesting side note on the name Beretta is that there is some evidince that the word gun itself comes from the name of a cannon that was named after a woman.
I'm so thankful amy fell out of favour, there were 5 in my class alone at school. I did the whole searching old name meaning to name my son Leland when he was born . It wasn't a popular name at all that year.
Anyone remember the parents who remember the parents who named there kid Dovakinn and Bethesda gave them the collectors edition of skyrim and a bunch of merchandise..
My daughters name is Nora :D Granted she was born in Croatia and I didn't know a lot of Nora's, then we moved to Ireland where the name is pretty common.
When my mom was in her teens and wanted to be a famous actress, she had planned she would call her children Sebastian Charles Collings-DeGrey and Felice-Skaya Sapphire Collings-DeGrey
Just want to say the names that I would name my kids one day. (Almost all the have shortened versions) Constance - Connie for short. It’s a family name Elizabeth - Lizzie for short Antionette - Toni for short Ambrose - I don’t know how to shorten that Elijah - Eli for short
I went to grade school with a girl named Asmaret. I also knew a Sunshine and a December. I knew a boy named Faren Limberhand and my nephew is named Sahvere and I have a neice named Symmetria.
5:18 I believe I can clarify for the names Boy and Girl. If a child is entering foster care at birth and for some reason the birth parents haven't named it yet before the government takes them then the birth certificate will say either Baby Boy/Baby Girl Lastname. That'll be their "name" until either they get reunified, placed in a kinship adoption, or is adopted by a foster parent.
My favourite welsh name for a boy is rhydian. My favourite welsh name for a girl is eira. Other names I like are mikaela and ciel, which some people find weird.
My names Eilidh and it’s always a conversation starter trying to teach new people how to say and spell my name 😇 my favourite guesses have been eyelid, Edith, eel, aioli, and elider 👍🏼
I’m not sure how popular the actual names are but I do remember the trauma of my Irish mother telling my twin sisters is they were born boys she wanted to name them either plonkett and plunkett or plonkett and finbar. I have honestly checked with her multiple times over the years because I was so sure she HAD to be screwing with me. Nope - she still genuinely loves the name. I cannot. IMAGINE. The bullying
@@wolfzmusic9706 first off I do not remember writing this (and now my name on here is Kelly so ignore that lmao) but you would be surprised most of my teachers say my name as many thing like Louis louie Louise loice like they said and I’m just like... sure I mean good try
When I was in aus I was told my name, Aoife, was welsh. I was very confused cause I’m Irish and was like “Really”. But when I’m in the US I use my middle name, Mandy, cause it’s easier.
We were the family who had 'weird' names but they didn't seem that weird to my parents as my dad is Scottish and my mum is Irish but no one ever pronounced mine or my sisters names right and it made my friends mad for some reason 😂 they almost always got my brothers right tho which was weird
My neighbours are from Morocco. They wanted similar names for all of their children. Yassmine, Yassine and Yassire. Where I come from Jasmin is a common name, so she has just a variation of the name. But the others aren't very common here.
I named my sons Declan, Liam and Peter and my husband is leo in my opinion all great names 😊. We're Irish. Most names are from Irish the small Isle that influences the world 🌎
The fun thing about Monica is that I was the only one in my graduating class of 600+ people, but the jokes, y'all. Do you know how many Friends and Monica Lewinsky jokes I've heard in my 23 years of living?
“Shooter where are you?! cmon out darling or you’ll be left here… here lemme go to the office that can help find my child” **5 minutes later** “Hey um Ms. I lost my child, can you call out his name over the loudspeaker to find him, his name is *Shooter” *confused look from the attendant**

@killingeve edits you have committed a crime against our lord and saviour Shakespeare, but seriously the world would not be what it is without Shakespeare
First UK names people think of: Harry & Elizabeth probably? First US names I think of: Addison & Chad Edit: im english so dont really know what US people think of for UK
I know 2 chloe's, 4 Jessica's, 3 Jack's, 3 Luke's, and 2 Amelia's (one being myself ) lol it's like so common for teachers to call a name and like half the class will stand thinking its them😂
fun fact: a lot of typically ‘english’ names are actually french like “george” and “henry” because after the Norman conquest the language of the Anglo-Saxons merged with the Normans french and we took a lot of their words
They are English names now, they've been used for so long that the pronunciation has changed significantly. I think when there basically a different word altogether that's when it becomes English.
I'm here for bringing back the anglo-saxon names, call your kid Æthelred, Ælfric or Hrođgar. Just imagine a class register with Alice, Benjamin, and Wulfstan- that kid's gotta be interesting.
@@rykloog9578 decendants? Alfred and Edward are from anglo saxon most other common names are from the bible like Noah, John, Peter etc. To go back to proto indo European Is a very long time, before writing was invented.
I think my name (Lorelei) is beautiful, and I love it, but I have grown up with a lot of anxieties around people pronouncing and spelling it incorrectly. I wish people would take the time to learn others' names a bit more. This video is great 😊
saw-sher like it’s not that hard, these brits and americans annoy me when they can’t say irish names when they’re literally explained to them. it’s the same with most west african names aswell
@@sneakerhead6625 I agree that's stupid. I can't pronounce them based on spelling but if someone tells me I remember and for a celebrity they really should just Google beforehand.
@@sneakerhead6625 I dunno. I could explain to you how my Finnish name is pronounced but I doubt you'd get it. It's a different language. Even if you could repeat it correctly once, you probably wouldn't be able to do it again later, because you don't understand the spelling and can't use it for help. It's the same. Though I do understand why it's annoying, because mispronunciation is very common with people learning my language an it's unfortunately nearly impossible to understand.
SnEAkErHEaD well it’s not really our fault cuz we are not irish and so we don’t know your language or how to pronounce things so you shouldn’t expect us to remember right away
Might be attempting to pronounce all your names in the next community video so comment away! ;)

Teacher: James?
The eights James: Yes?
I had way to many Connors
"jessica thats a very american name" is Shakespeare a joke to you, he literally invented the name...
and it's probably derived from hebrew too; it's like how tiffany sounds like a modern name but its got medieval roots
Yh but how would he know no one cares bout shakesspere lol
@killingeve edits you have committed a crime against our lord and saviour Shakespeare, but seriously the world would not be what it is without Shakespeare
Luna Lovegood I don’t see how
Luna Lovegood Tbh the world would be better English classes wouldn’t be as boring
"Vivian's like your mum's mate who's a hairdresser."
😂 so accurate
She's also a really cool aunt
*when you don’t have a mom so you’re confused*
I was like 😔 when I heard that
My great grandmas name was vivian mae
My mom’s name was Linda I would have loved to name my daughter after her but I couldn’t because to me it seemed like a middle age woman’s name.
“Bryn is a really nice name” It literally means hill.
It's still a nice sounding name.
I'm from Wales and I've never met someone called "Bryn". I only know it as names of places.
I have only met 1 Bryn there are alot more wyns than bryns
@@jackpadfield8779 it's the middle name of every male in my paternal Grandad's family
Jack Padfield i know 2 bryns but they’re old men
“No one will talk to them in school, they’ll ig-Nora” honestly yeah

Aw sorry Nora, I will be your friend if you want
The dislikes are from people called Fanta
Fanta is a Spanish name
And Charlotte....
E W well it’s not fantastic
Fanta is a real name though
Yes in some countries it stands for Fatima
The way he pronounced "Charlotte"... it's SHAR-LUT not SHAR-LOTTA 😂
That’s how it’s pronounced in German
PiggyMoney Gaming why
It's pronounced differently in different languages. I would say Shar-lot.
@@MyenaVT I've been watching Dark too much hahaha
I mean it's a really famous American city so he really has no excuse on pronouncing it so poorly.
There is a Korean-American singer named Ailee, pronounced the same as Eilidh
Also, who tf pronounces Charlotte & Aria the way Evan did
Germans 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I died whenn he pronounced Charlotte and aria
Sarah Sauter though the same, I was like "he pronounced Charlotte in a German accent" 😂
? Ailee isn't pronounced like eilidh it's pronounced how it looks with the literal "ee" instead of "ay" at the end XD
Fun fact (4:31): the name "Saoirse" is Irish for "freedom".
I luv that
I knew that .
Imagine naming your kid shooter and then loosing them in public." SHOOTER, SHOOTER, where are you SHOOTER".
Imagine screaming for your friend’s name at school “SHOOTER”
Yeaaa they really didn't think that one through.
I can just imagine a kid coming home and telling their parents "there's a shooter in my class"
First UK names people think of: Harry & Elizabeth probably?
First US names I think of: Addison & Chad
Edit: im english so dont really know what US people think of for UK
the first ones I’d think of are Amber and Samuel but they weren’t in the top 10
When I think of populars names in the US for girls it's a tie between Madison and Hailey, for boy I think of John
for uk is think of issy and ben but that’s just becuase they were most popular in my school
I think of Elizabeth and John for UK names. For the US I think of Liam and Maddy.
First US names that come to my mind are Ashley and Abigail.
I feel like in England everyone knows at least one Chloe, Jessica, Jack, Luke or Amelia.
bonus points if you've known all 5
I had like 7 Toms all in my year in secondary
I can’t imagine what recent thing popularise Emilia 🙂
I know one of each.
I know 2 chloe's, 4 Jessica's, 3 Jack's, 3 Luke's, and 2 Amelia's (one being myself ) lol it's like so common for teachers to call a name and like half the class will stand thinking its them😂
Someone in my school is called Harry Potter. And he wears round glasses.
Holy Shite
That. Is. Mad.
💟💟
Luke. Every town in UK has a Luke.
:)
Every town? Pretty much every street.
And half of them are annoying as all shit
Yup
The US has a lot of Lukes too. Half of them are just as annoying
Evan isn’t welsh there isn’t even a v in our alphabet the welsh version is Efan
“No one will talk to her, they’ll igNORAH.”
Imagine being at a playgorund and calling out your child's name "Shooter!"
Someone hasn't seen Happy Gilmore.
Shooter McGavin
fun fact: a lot of typically ‘english’ names are actually french like “george” and “henry” because after the Norman conquest the language of the Anglo-Saxons merged with the Normans french and we took a lot of their words
They are English names now, they've been used for so long that the pronunciation has changed significantly. I think when there basically a different word altogether that's when it becomes English.
I'm here for bringing back the anglo-saxon names, call your kid Æthelred, Ælfric or Hrođgar. Just imagine a class register with Alice, Benjamin, and Wulfstan- that kid's gotta be interesting.
Both of those names aren't originally French, though. Henry is a German name and George a Greek one
Now I’m curious about what names the Proto Indo-Europeans has that have modern ancestors
@@rykloog9578 decendants? Alfred and Edward are from anglo saxon most other common names are from the bible like Noah, John, Peter etc. To go back to proto indo European Is a very long time, before writing was invented.
The way he pronounced Charlotte hurt lmao
He said the German pronounciation (although I wouldn't say he nailed it...)
@@user-es7ui5mc1m: surely the German pronounciation would be Carlotta?
@@eattherich9215 Carlotta (/Karlotta) is also a (different) name in Germany but Charlotte is pronounced like Evan tried to say ("shar-lott-eh")
I think my name (Lorelei) is beautiful, and I love it, but I have grown up with a lot of anxieties around people pronouncing and spelling it incorrectly. I wish people would take the time to learn others' names a bit more. This video is great 😊
saoirse ronan though!! every interview she has they're like hOW dO yOu pRoNouNcE yOur naME
I know right i just used to just call her the girl from city of ember with the weird name
saw-sher like it’s not that hard, these brits and americans annoy me when they can’t say irish names when they’re literally explained to them. it’s the same with most west african names aswell
@@sneakerhead6625 I agree that's stupid. I can't pronounce them based on spelling but if someone tells me I remember and for a celebrity they really should just Google beforehand.
@@sneakerhead6625 I dunno. I could explain to you how my Finnish name is pronounced but I doubt you'd get it. It's a different language. Even if you could repeat it correctly once, you probably wouldn't be able to do it again later, because you don't understand the spelling and can't use it for help. It's the same. Though I do understand why it's annoying, because mispronunciation is very common with people learning my language an it's unfortunately nearly impossible to understand.
SnEAkErHEaD well it’s not really our fault cuz we are not irish and so we don’t know your language or how to pronounce things so you shouldn’t expect us to remember right away
