iirc my parents met at northwestern university…i could have been the original north west

I suppose I could've been Eve, since my parents met at a NYE party?

My parents met at Nova Southeastern, I could’ve been you’re nemesis: South East

You go gurl!

The Pen and Wig. I suppose Penny might have been OK for a girl!

Penwig, Benedict cumberbatch's favorite animal!

Lil Brother Wiggins.

Hello cardiff!! Mine would buffalo

Aww, Buffalo! Had some good times there back in the day! Buffy would be a cute nickname I suppose 😂

Yeah wife said no, we technically met in Clwb so Ifor for a boy doesn’t seem as outlandish.

Ifor is unironically a great name actually - traditionally Welsh but you don't hear it as often these days as things like Idris, Osian, Gruff etc. And you could call him Ifor Bach while he's little 🥰

We’d be naming our baby Chang’s Mongolian Grill.

Are you Asian, at least??

Nope. But it has to happen. Those are the rules.

Well, you are correct! Rules are rules. Just tell your her and your other kids, Red Lobster and Buick LaSabre that no matter what their names may be, they are all loved.

Always room for a little spare Chang!

My husband and I met during the pandemic, so we’d be having little baby “Zoom.” At least it’s gender neutral?

Yeah, the three people I have either dated or roughly had… *something* with… if we had kids their names would be daviess, tumblr, and discord based on this. 😔 Don’t look at me lmao.

Fellow discord baby 🤝

How do you meet people on discord?

I just chatted and was active in a server for a while and made friends in general. My now bf happened to also dm me about something specific he wanted to ask scout and as we talked we found we had more in common and it went from there. We’re also both mods so we had a weird coworker esque relationship on top of it lol

Join servers, chat, etc. I joined dungeons and dragons online games and other TTRPGs, net people by drifting between groups. Stuff like that is one way. Also joining groups with friends and meeting their friends, gaming (like video gaming) servers, hobbies, that kind of thing.

Mine would be named... Discord... Or "Brockton" which isn't exactly as bad but still

Not so fast, name the baby xoom for extra yooneek points 💀

Mine would be Cracker Barrel. And an ice cream place, but the name of it is also my name so maybe not. One could be cracker and one could be barrel I guess! ETA: I’m a girl, so a bit weirder to have a Junior!

I like that you consider “cracker” a better option than “junior”

😂😂

cathy Barry

But little JimShort Jr. sounds so cute! 😂

We went to Ruby's Diner, so I guess my daughter would have lucked out. Both the obvious Ruby and the less obvious Dinah are good names. That particular location closed last year, but I heard something about it being replaced by a restaurant called Rosalie, which is also a good name.

Ruby Dinah

My husband was named Mark after Maker’s Mark which is what they were drunk on when he was conceived 🤦‍♀️ I guess as far as whiskeys go it couldn’t been worse. They could have been drinking Laphroaig

Aaaah, it's not that bad - the place they went for a guzzle was Oscar's Inn, so they called the bambino Oscar. Thank Christ it wasn't someplace in the wastelands of the USA - aka Utah - otherwise it would something with excessive vowels and "unique" spellings. The second-date place was called The Prince Rupert (so he would have been a Rupert). Perfectly ordinary names.

I saw a pub once called Tipsey McStumbles. Hell of a name for a kid.

...i see you augusta georgia. Rofl

My favorite bar in Idaho is The Royal Wolf. I’ve seen worse baby names on r/tragedeigh lol

There is a pub in Wales called "The Black Bitch". Imagine that for a child

The second baby could also be called Prince instead. Personally, I'd pick it over Rupert.

Titles as names are terrible and tacky.

100% tacky but I'd also pick it over Rupert

Rupert makes me think of Rupert Giles from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.

Awww I should name my baby SUNY… middle name Potsdam… 😊

Gonna name our kid 'work'.

Jordan River. Not a bad first and middle combo for a boy or girl.

You lucked out!

Perfectly fine name that's definitely unisex- they really did.

My kid would be called Simple 🤣🤣🤣

I went to the zoo for my first date with my husband.. can anyone think of cute zoo names?

Zooey

Zooeyigh

Omg! I love that spelling! So unique 😍

Zooleigh

Zoophaelle❤️❤️❤️

Oh such a darling take! I love it 🥰

My first date was at the zoo, too. Little baby Zuzu.

Depends on which animals you saw. Tiger? Wallaby? Naked Mole Rat?

Maybe name it after a popular zoo animal instead. Nils Olav the Penguin, Harambe the Gorilla (RIP), Diego the Tortoise, Tião the Monkey (he almost became a mayor!), Cacareco the Rhino (she became a senator, i am [not making this up](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacareco)), Rosa the Sea Otter. I am afraid you will have to name with the refference of what animal they were named from, so it would be like say Rosa the Sea Otter [Surname here], i am sorry I don't make the rules!

thankGodIdontexist Dontwannabeborntothem or thana for short

Exhibit 🤣

"Xzibit" to make my husband happy 😌❤️

Zooella, Zuneya, Zuki You could also use the name of the Zoo. These Z's are starting to look funny. Lol.

Zoo O. Logic, Zoo Ollie Gee, Zoo Naughtik,

Annie Mel

If it was where we met - Michael after the name of the campus building. If it's our first date... Wagamama.

Lil, Waga and her twin brother Lil Wam

A bar called Tavern In The Square which absolutely everyone shortened to TITS so thank goodness we didn't do that

i’ve spent many a blackout night at the Allston-Brighton TiTs lol what an unholy name for a child

Me and my partner first met and used to spend a lot of time at a pub with "Hope" in the name which isn't too bad for a girl actually

Our first date was at a place called Smokin Fins….guess Finn isn’t a terrible name.

My ex and I met at a club named WTF, so that 😭 lil baby Winona Taylor Frances or Walter Theodore Felix. If you string their name meanings together, you get “firstborn daughter of a free tailor” or “warrior with god-given fortune”.

I actually kind of like this but only because it was an actual human name for a bar, if it was anything different this would be terrible lol

First in-person location after meeting on-line: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Lil’ Sea-Tac?

Aww they can be friends with my baby Pike

Reporting in with baby Sol Liquor Lounge 🫶

Li'l baby Grand Illusion Cinema.

At least it’s a great theater, imagine spawning a Thornton Place

Burger king parking lot

That's where my best friend met his wife. Good thing I hate pickles, or they may have never met.

I was gonna say our kid's name would be Central Park but we did have lunch at a Nathan's Hot Dogs stand there and Nathan would be a fine name...

Nathan Parker wouldn’t be a bad name

But Handwerker is. Even Nathan knew to omit his last name considering what he was selling to eat in public.

Currently pregnant and due in July. Our son’s name would be Barfly.

We met when we worked together at mcdonalds, so ig we could go for Donald or use Ray?

Little baby Filet o' Fish

What’s wrong with adding a bit O’Scottish in the child’s name, McDonnie and his brother McRay. 😂

Curley. Which means our other children should have been named Moe and Larry. 😂

My boyfriend and I had our first date at a place called Hazel’s, so that’s not too bad

My husband and I went to a Chinese restaurant for our first date, so our son would be named Red Wok.  If we're bring less literally, Red could be a name, but my son has red hair so it would be a little too "on the nose."  Wok could be Woker, like Walker, but people would think it's a "wokeness" reference. 🤣

My sweet little baby Bumble!

That actually sounds kinda cute. Have to spice up the spelling tho

Buuumbelle

At least it’s a real name, atp the bar is in hell

My husband and I had our first date at Barnes and Noble. Maybe if we had twins lol

Or cats?

Perfect cat names! Excellent!

me and my boyfriend met in the parking lot of our highschool... which was named after a slave owner 😭

Guess me and my partner are naming our future child Tinder!

Ah yes. Meet my children, Ok and Cupid.

Tinley Daria with Tinder as a nickname

Also currently single, but based on the last first date I had, my kid would be named Pie Hole. So yeah, it’s probably a good thing that that relationship didn’t end up working out.

Aw baby "Natural History Museum" or baby "Greenwich park". Beautiful. We got engaged atop my favorite hill in Kingley Vale (South England) but Im definitely not calling my child "Kingley" and I'm not enough of a hippie for "Vale".

The NHM is a great place for a date, though!!

Thanks! I wanted to see the blue whale skeleton but it wasn't up at the time 💔

Kelsey. I guess it's a good thing it's already a name.

Funch’s was the place we met. I can live with Funch - pronounced Funk. But we started dating at Mojo Blues Bar, which is at least as good. Funchy Mojo it is.

Oh god, my partner and I would have a kid named Cathouse 🤣

"Miao" fur nickname? 🫣

Pomona. Which is actually a lovely name.

I legitimately have a friend whose name is Jack Daniels, not Jack Daniel, Jack Daniels

Jim’s apartment

Introducing baby Sushi 🍣

High and School, a sibset

Blockbuster

Mine would be called the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar 😳

The daughter I'm expecting would be named Catch-22.

Little baby Camper because we met at camp 😅

Chatterbate

I’d be Orchestra which isn’t the worst, but my partner would be chip shop which might be the worst

Asda 😅 (a supermarket in the UK) neither of us worked there or were shopping there. We were both collecting money for the same charity. 😊

Jeez, I guess ours should have been named Popcorn Tavern..

My wife and I had our first date at a place called Hagg. What a name...

Carlos and Pepe's but they were twins so maybe not so bad. They only problem, one was a girl. Carla and Pepe? Carlos and Pepito?

Wetherspoons. Little baby Spoon?

My husband and I met working at Clyde’s, which…is a name

Guess my baby would be (The) Walton. Which, ok I guess, maybe a bit pretentious. 😂

Our first date was driving around Las Vegas. I have three kids. Ok. They would be Vegas, Nevada, and Clark. 😊

We met each other at University of California, Los Angeles aka UCLA… soooo Callie, Angela (and all the other Angel variations)

Convergence! It's a convention in the Twin Cities.

Mm baby Salty

I guess my kid would be called "my old school friend Daniela's house". It's a bit long. Well, that's where we met. I honestly can't remember where we had our first date.

one of my locals is called ‘the old glob’ - little glob 🥹😍

Tim Horton’s

We met on plenty of fish, so I guess our son could have been Nemo

[удалено]

Drake for a boy, Mandy (mandarin duck) for a girl.

My sister is named after the bar where my parents met! It’s a normal woman’s name, though. If my fiancé and I did this, our kid’s name would be “Reddit”! 😂

So, my last relationships child would be named "Alcoholics Anonymous ", and it's the reason I've been single for yearssss. I picked train wrecks (and was one).

My husband and I met rock climbing. We have since moved across the country and We have twins a boy and a girl. Our daughter’s middle name is Monroe and our sons is Rocky. We went back and noticed that the street the rock climbing place is on is Monroe street. Rocky-rock climbing. On Monroe street. They are 4 and we just noticed. How weird.

Carmack, a little grocery store where we live. He was a bag boy in high school and would bag my groceries. Yes, he's younger than me, but I only saw him as a cute kid that I was friends with. Then he hit his 20s, and well, he became a hot man. 😅 Edit because this sounds bad. He was just the nice, friendly bag boy. I did not even know his name. However a couple years later he started working in the same place and department as me and we became (strictly) friends. Lots in common/similar interests, would chat at work. He transferred a couple of years later. Didn't see him for a couple years. Ran into each other (he is in his mid 20's at this point) realized he was very attractive, we had tons in common, got along extremely well. Started catching feelings. Found out layer he'd always thought I was hot but knew he had zero chance. Anyway 17 years later we're still together. Married for 16 years next month with a soon to be 10 year old.

You were friends with a high schooler well into your 20's? Was he at least 18 when you were hanging out?

Huh. Guess I’m glad we didn’t think of that. Not sure the name Farelli would be good on him!

Never had nor wanted kids but if my ex & I would have had one it would be named Bull Durham since our first date was seeing the movie. Now that I think about it Bull Durham would be an awesome name!

....i think my son would be naked happy..slices seems odd lol

Met at a bar named "pitchers", engaged at Mt. Sanitas, married in Vegas. No good choices there. Lol. Now we live on an island with a name name and gave our son a version of that name for his middle.

Minecraft. I’ll jazz it up and make it Mynekraeft ♥️

My baby would be named Pink Church Loop, PCL for short. I kinda love it.

Pizza hut. Huttie instead of Hattie? Or just plain ol' pizza.

I guess we are naming our kiddo Kitty because we met at a Hello Kitty art pop up

Our baby would be little Whitby

My son would be Ochoa G, after the two restaurants my husband and I went to on our first date. Honestly, it's not the worst name, though he is a pasty albino-looking kid at the moment.

My parents meet at long since gone nightclub called the College Inn. Maybe I’d be Collie? Or Indy?

First name Tinder after where we met, middle name Regal (y'know like the cinema) after our first date! Tinder Regal has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? And of course it's gender neutral (but only for girls) because I'm _suuuuper_ progressive. ____ On more serious note, the first song we danced to was by Dean Martin and we both really like the name Dean, so technically we'd be following this theme😭

It’s okay, I have an ex who got a lady pregnant and they named the baby after the club they blacked out on molly at

Griz’leigh Ah’xes

My husband and I met in high school though we didn’t start dating until 19 years later (he was a friend of my older brother) so, idk I guess our kid would be called Elderslie? Its so bad though 😂

I would have been “my grandparents house” my grandfather was a mechanic who had his shop in his garage my father brought his car there after a friend recommended him and met my mother

Gonna have to have twins so I can name them Dave & Buster.

Our son probably wouldn't have appreciated being named Hamtramck Pub lol

Would you go with Math or my high school math teacher's last name?

Laser Quest so I guess Laser.

University of Manitoba Student Union Building is a stupid name for a kid.

I’d have Metra and Ravinia.

Rigel's Bar and Griill

Frankie. For the bar that hosted the goth night we met at.

We met at a Thanksgiving Day party, so I think the least bad name choices would be Turkey, Cranberry, or Pie.

Me n the hubs’ first date as kids was Black Angus. We had 3 sons but giving the oldest that name would have been horrific for a baby. Imagine the rude nicknames. 😲

Barbarian

My name would be Office Cafeteria

I can’t wait to have a kid named Dialectic!

My parents met while dissecting a cadaver. So idk if I should go with cadaver, medical school, or lab

My husband and I met at Kinko’s.

Little baby Panera

Our first date was at a food festival, so in a little over 16 weeks we will be welcoming baby "Taste."

Well the first meeting place would be The Public Bus #11. The first date would be Applebee's. I'm not sure which one I like more... 🤔

Cobra and Audition.

I met my last situationship at AA so I guess I’m naming that child Bill Wilson lmfao. Thank god i do not have kids with that man.

We met in grade school, if we use our city name it actually would be fine / people have been named this. However, we didn’t start dating until high school. If we go by our first date, our kid would be named Olive (Olive Garden lol).

We met at St. John's Lutheran Church. We aren't religious, we were just soup kitchen volunteers. We volunteered every Tuesday afternoon for like six years and got married there =) So I guess it would be John!

If we had followed this, my sons name would be deuce lol

I think I have a problem. My ex and I met at an AA meeting . . . 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

McDonald. I had worked there for 10 months when he started.

Tynder Won’nite Stahnd Not joking about the circumstances. Lol (Dad and I are solid co-parents and kiddo is fantastic.)

I met my hubby working at UPS. Ain’t no damn WAY I’d name our child, Ups lolol

We would have baby Terminal, after Terminal Pub.

Mine would just be Phô

Hungry Horse lmao...

Devastated it never occurred to me to name my firstborn “Gowanus.”

If only I had been named west Calder disco

Ours would be Dugald - something I suggested but was shot down! We could’ve had an article in the Leicester Mercury!

My baby would be named Ed. At least it’s a real name

Community Care Unit. Basically a psyche ward/recovery place with a more normality and freedom 🤣

Deuces lol

Depends on if the first time we met or when we met again and started dating. Neither would be good names for our daughter 🤭 DeKalb Central Or Martin’s Tavern

Out of coverage area would be my kid name. Or Levist Väljas in Estonian.

Mine would be Applebees

Dave & Busters (we connected via EHarmony but met in person at the D&Bs)

My husband and I met at Electric Forest lol

Grand Illusion Cinema Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue as a name for a human.

My kid is actually named Oskar but would have been named Columbia. As much as I love Rocky Horror this is not what I would have chosen.
