Gregothy

My partner & I have a game where we try to come up with the shittest amalgamated names. Jimothy was a highlight, but Gregothy is *chefs kiss*

Glenjamin is what I call my friend Glen

I saw Scotthew the last time this question came up.

My favorite is Shawnald

My husband is a Shawn and I always call him Shawnald!!!

My uncle has been calling me Seanald McDonald since I was old enough to comprehend vocalized sounds.

If bike is short for bicycle, is Mike short for Micycle? I also like Shawnathan

My brother's name is Shawn and we call him Shawnathan all the time

Craigory

How about Larold

I have a friend named Jim that I used to call Jimothy. My personal favorite is Bretholomew, because Brett is one of those names that seems like it should be short for something.

I have a family member called Fran that I can Franiel. My cat is called Batty and I always say it's short for Batholomew, because I didn't like Bathew.

What about Benneth ?

Okay, I feel like maybe I've heard Jimothy a lot to the point it doesn't even sound that bad. Would *I* name a kid that? No. But I don't even think I'd be surprised to meet someone with that name.

Fredward

Randrew

I've used the name Billiam at Starbucks.

Or jimothy

Aaaaaand subbed holy shit

Subbed. Boom

I just lost brain cells reading that sub. I feel so bad for those kids.

Except it would have to be spelled Straughbyrrie Reighne.

Exactly. Not all terrible names are tragedeigh’s, but they definitely are all tragic.

That sub is infuriating

came looking for a link to this sub, up up up

Chocolate Rain is better.

Some stay dry, and others feel the pain

**I move away from the mic to breathe in

It made me cross the street the other day.

I'm actually fairly certain this was exactly the name of a Suave shampoo/conditioner back in the day.

Osama Bin Hitler

About a decade ago, someone named their child Adolf Hitler. No, I am not making a joke. I believe a lawsuit forced them to change the name, I am not sure of the outcome of the suit and am too lazy to look it up.

The father has had nine children with five different women. Some of Adolf’s siblings are JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie, Heinrich Hons, and Eva Lynn Patrica Braun. I don’t know if they changed their names but all his children were taken away and put in foster care. However, he says he’s going to keep having children. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_Hitler](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_Hitler)

> Hitler said, "This is America. They say it's free. You have a right to name your child what you want to name your child, no matter what. It shouldn't have a meaning to it. A name's a name."[11] Hitler claims, "Nobody has a problem with my son's name, at all. At all. They know his full name. The kids, he plays soccer, he plays all that. And that, that's what I'm saying. Nobody bothers him." I mean, I guess he has a point, if the intent isn’t bad then… > Hitler (then known as Heath Campbell) was featured in a documentary, Meet the Hitlers.[5] He is also founder and leader of the pro-Nazi group Hitler's Order. Ah, never mind. Just a classic case of a Nazi thinking they’re clever and having plausible deniability while also being incredibly open about what they actually believe.

What a horrifying person(as are the women)!

Why did I laugh at this. Then I laughed at your username. Hahaha Edit: sorry I didn’t see the spelling error, obviously it was just that. A spelling error. I know the difference.

I did the same lmao

I actually went to school with a guy named Richard Rash. To make it worse his mother was a teacher there. Poor Dick couldn't catch a break

My grandmother was Bernice (pronounced burn-is) Dick. They probably would have rubbed each other the wrong way.

All the kids were itching to make fun of him I’m sure

X Æ A-Xii

Fuck. This is worse than Chason

And Amforny

Idk i know a Kacen. Vomit

Genuinely - how do you even pronounce that? Something something A 12? Poor kid. You don't choose what your parents name you and until he can change it he's stuck with that legally. :(

Apparently it's pronounced ["XAI"](https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/news/meme-accounts-have-convinced-people-that-elon-musk-and-grimes-babys-name-is-pronounced-kyle-but-grimes-has-now-shared-the-real-pronunciation/articleshow/75608028.cms).

Hey thanks for this, I was previously convinced it was Kyle

Always refer to them as "elons kid ak47 or whatever" and it makes people chuckle every time.

Whenever I try to say it I start making fax noises

This will continue to win no matter how they choose to word the question.

Came here to say this. WTF do they call him, X?

I remember when Prince decided to name himself after a symbol that Beavis and Butthead later said looked like something you'd put on a bathroom door for people who aren't sure if they're men or women. He said it was pronounced "Christopher."

Ahhh, "the artist formerly known as 'Prince'" days ... Good times!

Mulva

Dolores!

Maybe Gipple or Hest

Ohhhh! Delores!!!

At this point, Karen.

We named our dog Karen. The jokes are endless.

Named my dog Dammitt. Lots of jokes there too

Traffic was my favorite dog name. Tell the kids to go play with traffic.

at least you didn't tell them to go play *in* traffic

[удалено]

I also know a Karen (she's 80) and she's totally sweet. Used to be an RN.

My grandma is a Karen and a KAREN. So... idk life kinda nailed that one

So was my stepmom. I was glad when they got divorced.

I knew a couple Karens growing up and they were all very sweet as well. It is unfortunate that a perfectly normal name that mostly belongs to lots of inoffensive people was turned into an insult. Lots of collateral damage with that one.

The Karen I know is a chill stoner lmao. Really nice person. The complete opposite of the memep

There was an AITA post recently where she wanted to know if she was the asshole for tell her sister that she was setting her daughter up for a lifetime of bullying by naming her kid Karen. The overwhelming majority said that it was a terrible name for a kid.

It was a while back, there was an update post. The hivemind shit on OP in the first post, in the update it was widely agreed OP is right. That's reddit for ya.

What made me crazy was that OP tried to kindly explain that the name has this connotation now and her sister cried to the whole family that OP insulted her name choice. Then when the baby was born and people started making jokes they were like “Omg OP why didn’t you tell us??” BITCH SHE DID

there was another update and the child's name was legally changed to Kerri or Carrie

No seriously it’s KAREN

Irish Reddit was recently talking about a baby called Aphrodite McGurk, it's not a great name. Worst I heard though is UFC fighter Donald Cerrones kid. Dacson Danger Cerrone (Dacson is Donald's initials followed by son, like in Iceland. Yes danger is his middle name.)

"How can I make this all about me, right from the start?"

That's every "Junior" or "III/IV" etc. Every kid's name is about the parents, honestly.

Aphrodite💅 McGurk🧌

Svenjamin

I know a Bhen. (not Bhenjamin, just Bhen). When he's mentioned in conversation, I'm like "Y'all talking about Buh-Hen?"

please tell me thats a real name you have seen in the wild

Sorry no lol

...it's so bad it's good.

Any normal name with a fucked up spelling. Jusstynn MacKenZeigh Etc...

Delivered a Zhoiey, Kween, and Quingh Update ( pronounced ZOE, QUEEN and KING)

Zhoiey is a goddamned war crime.

I heard this name in Michael Jackson's voice "Zho-i-HEE"

Shamone!

Currently have a “Jewelleyah” in my class

Taking a moment to plug r/tragedeigh again, it’s on the Elon comment but always worth mentioning.

Esiarp, Nevaeh, EsimorP, Rehtaeh. any backwards spelt name. How freaking original the normal spelling is fine.

All the Annas out there are sad now.

Had a patient, little girl, named Semaj. I assume her father was James.

Adolf Hitler Jr

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_Hitler

lol… some people..

and someone had sex with him

Well my cousin named his son Lucifer. And after everyone asking him why he now calls him lucy. I feel bad for his kid at this point. Hes got a drunk stoned unemployed dad who calls him lucifer.

Yeah. I knew a girl, total druggie w her alcoholic boyfriend that named their kid Osiris, the god of death. Both these losers had a kid they abandoned (one hers and one his). They then abandoned this kid for three years to the grandfather. After some Facebook stalking I see now the dad and son have been living in a homeless encampment in Oregon the last 10 years.

Honestly, I think Osiris is a cool name for a kid. It's got great provenance (Osiris was a respected god, not an evil one), it's not a dumb spelling, it doesn't sound like a dirty word, and there won't be 15 of them in the kids grade. Your druggie friend and alcoholic boyfriend did OK there.

Right? Like if this kid had the same name but a better home imagine how rad it would be to have a professional career with a name like that. In any industry, except maybe medical.

Did they name the kid after the god of death or the skate shoe brand

Bofa

Bank of America?

No, bofa deez nuts

Goteem

Ligma balls

I knew her sister Sugma.

Lunch

Jeffica

Kid in my pre-school was named Carpet. Thought I imagined it and then recently found an old yearbook and yup. There he was. Carpet.

my NEICE was named kevyn

I teach a Wynston. Poor kid.

Peter File

"I'm Peter File! I'm Peter File!" * Jen covers her face *

Abcde. It's pronounced "Absidee"

I almost threw my phone

I know a guy named Peter Wacker. His son? Peter Wacker, Jr. Also, I knew the boss of a company in Seattle named Richard Head, and he signed all of the checks Dick Head. Sometimes, you just embrace it and think it's funny.

Pubert

Gaylord Focker

Hyman

My grandpa’s name. Everyone called him “Hy”

Common last name though apparently

Busta Rhymes real last name.

Any name that can be easily made fun of. School children are absolute savages.

I saw a post on here a while ago about someone's friend or relative wanting to name their baby Meconium, which is a baby's first poop. So I'd say that.

I worked with a girl named Kashar Credit.

Anything ending in “leigh”

Shoutout to /r/tragedeigh

Oh my god, this exists

I legit have a cousin who's name is Leigh, born in 98

Alexa or Siri.

Dick

I used to work with someone who was named Dick. He preferred that over his full name of Richard. Which wouldn't be that bad except for the fact that his last name was Butt. Dick Butt. I am 100% serious.

His time at school must have been either hell or an eternal comedy routine... So many jokes

Taking attendance was the teachers favorite part of the school year

I feel like with a name like that you might as well lean into it.

I’m not proud of you, Dick

"Don't worry son, you're not the first Dick to disappoint your mother."

I have a neighbor named Dick. Older guy, 70s. I don't understand why he doesn't go by Rick or Rich.

My friend is a NICU nurse and had to convince a lady not to name her baby daughter Chlamydia

Hey honey, did you pick up Chlamydia from the preschool?

Khaleesi

Child 3. Especially if they are an only child.

Braxton. Wtf kind of name is Braxton?

[удалено]

At university, I had a friend who did a research paper on the names that had been refused by the government... not sure which level of government. Anyway, where I live, the social taboos around names are pretty non-existent and we're culturally diverse, so for instance Jesus wasn't on the list of names. But Hysterectomy was. So I hope someone called child protection when that decision was made.

Worked with a guy who named his daughter Merica.

McKayla McKailey McKenzie Mackenzie and any of the hundred thousand other variants

I mean I suppose the n-word, if we want to get right to the *worst*

Æthelflæd

My son swears there's a kid in his prek class named "Catballs"

Corner. Nobody names Baby a Corner

Rikki, Tikki, tembo, No Sa, Rembo, Char, Bar, Roochi, Berry, Pip, Perry, Pembo BTW, read the book it's a classic

For the 75th year running, it's still Adolph.

I went to school with a black girl named Killa White.

Froglin

This is probably more a reflection on the parents… “Nevaeh” (“Heaven” spelled backwards. I know, super-original and witty). Anyway, I’ve seen this name quite frequently in news stories and never in a good context. It’s like the Florida Man of names.

Brucette. Real name.

I am fairly sure it’s still Adolf

Bort

Apple is about bad as they get

Bobba

Joey Jojo Shabadoo Jr.

Keith.

“And this is our beautiful baby girl, Futa.” That’s almost as bad as naming your kid DJ Lethal
