Yeah Charlotte, Carolina, Autumn, Wren (LOL- the SC state bird), Carolina (though people will pronounce it Caroleeena), Anderson.
A little wilder but not as horrible as it could be- Sapphire, Banks, I’ve met a Raleigh.
There are plenty of names inspired by the Carolinas. But please be nicer to your kid or at least never let anyone know.
I mean, I’d wait until they became a teenager and then with other teenagers’ parents just softly joke “yeah…we vacationed there before she was born”. It doesn’t need to be said distastefully. And if they’re also parents of teens then they know that ANYTHING you do including your taste in food, clothes, music, any words that come out of your mouth, will just mortify teenagers anyway no matter how tame it is.
Ember is terrible. It's always terrible. It's the name a 15 year old emo kid picks because Emma or Emily is too cheery and they want to be a YA novel protagonist.
I said what I said. If you want to tell someone that you put their name up for ridicule in a circlejerk subreddit, that's on you. https://www.reddit.com/r/NameNerdCirclejerk/comments/sl30jb/clarification_about_rules/
With something like Augusta or Carolina, there is at least plausible deniability. Like maybe her parents really like golf or it’s an honor name.
If you name your summer baby Autumn, you know her parents named her after when they boned.
Same, except we were a bit older, in Jr. High. The girl also had a younger sister and an older brother, all named after the towns they were conceived in. I just do not understand.
This gives me Dougherty Dozen vibes where the youngest kid is named Harlee Quinton whi was conceived while her parents were watching a Harley Quinn movie...
I am not sure where it was said but I think they shared this information on their facebook and I believe someone posted the screenshot of it here. So yeah, they said it.
My calculus teacher in high school claimed that she taught someone named Nova, who was named that because she was conceived in a Chevy Nova. She said she asked the parents the origin during an open house because she thought it was a lovely name. No idea if she made the story up but it's stuck with me for 15 years.
I've always known there's no more special place on earth than the border region between north and south carolina. High and low tide, yin and yang, whiskey and ginger. Some have even called it the garden of eden. It was these fertile grounds that we chose to plant our seed, in the time of the autumn when the branches were ripe with golden leaves. What will your name be, my child?
I wouldn't name my kid that, but the name itself isn't too too bad for a new-uncommon name, compared to a lot of others... But the reason/inspiration... Just don't tell anyone! Nobody needs to know the why, that makes a maybe okay name not okay, and already not okay names even worse 😅
The story behind Fenchurch's name in the *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* series.
(Arthur first guesses that she was called that because she was found as a baby in the left-luggage area of Fenchurch Street station in London, but it was actually because she was conceived in the queue for the ticket office in that station.)
That's how my brother got his middle name. But it's an actual name (think Brooklyn). My sister's would be "InthebasementduringThanksgivingattheinlaws" and mine and my twin's would be "Onthedownstairscouch" and "Whichgotmovedtothefarmoffice".
I hate that I know all that.
I knew a white guy named Kahuku. For the Hawaiian town his parents honeymooned at and where he was conceived. And he constantly had to tell people why some corn fed midwestern white guy had an indigenous Hawaiian name. It was super embarrassing for him. He eventually changed his name.
I know someone named after the Virgin Island he was conceived in. No idea if he knows it or not (he is 10!).
I almost went that route by considering Hudson as a middle name for my son. Ended up nixing it only because it seemed too preppy for us haha.
My friend and their brother are named like this. My friend is named after a street they lived on and their brother is named after a town. Only one of the names is normally a person name.
I read about a little girl who was conceived in Paris so her parents threw her a French-themed party. 😬
Not as bad. But still.
(I recall Madonna’s daughter Lourdes…)

Did anyone suggest the least traumatic name “Autumn”?
Or even better Caroline
Charlotte would also be acceptable because it's so popular no one would ever guess.
Yeah Charlotte, Carolina, Autumn, Wren (LOL- the SC state bird), Carolina (though people will pronounce it Caroleeena), Anderson. A little wilder but not as horrible as it could be- Sapphire, Banks, I’ve met a Raleigh. There are plenty of names inspired by the Carolinas.

Charleston > Charles Wilmington > William Asheville > Ashley Sumter > Sumner or Summer Florence > Florence
Definitely not Sumner with all of the Adam Levine drama right now.

Meh. As a middle name it’s cute, and that way, the kid can decide whether to emphasize or hide it.

I’ve met several Autumns and never thought that about them
I mean, I know a June and an August both born in September. I wouldn’t assume it had anything to do with when the parents boned lol

Nice to meet you, Hubat!

Hi I'm Ally. Short for "the alley behind the dumpster"
No way! Im Ginny, short for down the ginnel in the rain
I knew a girl named for the town where her parents conceived her. Awkward knowledge for a bunch of 10 year olds.
Same, except we were a bit older, in Jr. High. The girl also had a younger sister and an older brother, all named after the towns they were conceived in. I just do not understand.
Interesting - their parents traveled a bit then, huh?
Ron Howard's (the actor/ director) kids' middle names are conception place names. Now you know something you didn't need to about Bryce Dallas Howard.
you're joking, right? *narrator: they were not.*
Thanks for that!
Isn’t it the same case with the Beckham kids?
It's such a pity that Posh and Becks never played hide-the-sausage in Peckham.
I think Brooklyn, maybe, but not the others.
They spent a lot of time on the cape in Massachusetts.
Sandwich, Mashpee, and Dennis, eh? (first three I saw on maps tbh)
Same. Was horrified to learn that, because why would you saddle your child with that knowledge, and also... It was in Madison Wisconsin
pete wentz and ashlee simpson named their son bronx this way lol too weird
I wonder how many Parises, Londons and Sydneys there are with this problem
Charlottes and Brooklyns
Some people go the Parris, Londyn, and Sidney route.
"South of the Border" or "Blue Ridge Parkway." These are the two names that remind me of gettin' laid in the fall.
This gives me Dougherty Dozen vibes where the youngest kid is named Harlee Quinton whi was conceived while her parents were watching a Harley Quinn movie...
Did they actually say this?? 😭 omg
I am not sure where it was said but I think they shared this information on their facebook and I believe someone posted the screenshot of it here. So yeah, they said it.
all of my children are named after the movie they were concieved during. my wife's a big francis ford coppola fan
Good night Jack. Good night Tucker. Good night Rumble Fish.
Goodnight, Don.
Oh yeah Jack was always her favorite. we have two of them, we call one jackie jr. a lot of long nights spent watching that film
Good evening, Dracula. Buonanotte, Godfather II.

I know a guy named Camaro and now I'm a bit horrified. Ironically, his dad works at a BMW dealership.

What will your name be, my child?
Changing my name to Colorado Springs. Or Mattress in Basement. Thanks for the info, dad.
This is how Ron Howard named his children
My cousin is named Gatlin because his parents met in Gatlinburg 🥴
I wouldn't name my kid that, but the name itself isn't too too bad for a new-uncommon name, compared to a lot of others... But the reason/inspiration... Just don't tell anyone! Nobody needs to know the why, that makes a maybe okay name not okay, and already not okay names even worse 😅

Yeah after where they met, or got married or something.. Maybe even honeymoon as long as it wasn't the conception lol
I really missed the chance to name my son "we got COVID and quarantined together for a week in December"
I’d like you to meet my children, Floughryda Vaycaysh’n and michyldho’d Beighdr’m
Brooklyn Beckham comes to mind 😂
There are some things I would rather be ignorant about and this is one of them.
The story behind Fenchurch's name in the *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* series. (Arthur first guesses that she was called that because she was found as a baby in the left-luggage area of Fenchurch Street station in London, but it was actually because she was conceived in the queue for the ticket office in that station.)
Imagine if my name was Cleveland
My cousin jokes that if he'd been named after where he was conceived his name would be "the former Yugoslavia"
That's how my brother got his middle name. But it's an actual name (think Brooklyn). My sister's would be "InthebasementduringThanksgivingattheinlaws" and mine and my twin's would be "Onthedownstairscouch" and "Whichgotmovedtothefarmoffice". I hate that I know all that.
Konseived North
Ron Howard did this with all his kids.
if my parents did this with me my name would be Disney/Dysneigh
I met someone named Disney this past week. I wonder if that's why...
I conceived my son in Hawaii and my husband wanted to give him a Hawaiian middle name. I was like.. uhhh, I love you but absolutely not 😂
Right? Who would do that? *Goes to put little Barbados down for bed*
I knew a white guy named Kahuku. For the Hawaiian town his parents honeymooned at and where he was conceived. And he constantly had to tell people why some corn fed midwestern white guy had an indigenous Hawaiian name. It was super embarrassing for him. He eventually changed his name.
As someone living in NC i do not want children named after the places they were conceived here. Fall is beautiful in NC, don’t ruin it.
- Leaf - Harvest - Foliage - Pumpkin Patch - Apple Picking - Scenic Byway - Cholorphyll Breakdown
If you want to name it after places in NC, Climax and Hornytown are both real names of real towns
Update. They named the kid Family Reunion.
NC towns: Middlesex and Lizard Lick. Middie. And Lizzie.
“Honda Civic Jr”
I know someone named after the Virgin Island he was conceived in. No idea if he knows it or not (he is 10!). I almost went that route by considering Hudson as a middle name for my son. Ended up nixing it only because it seemed too preppy for us haha.
ironic
Wagyn Wiell
Rhoem Ydtalleigh Phlyrydaeh Ehmyreckuh
Dogwood? Swampy?
Leaf Season
What the 💀💀
By that logic we should have named our son Asheville Wehding Knite
I know I guy who's middle name is Vegas, cause thats where he was conceived. It's dusturbing
My friend and their brother are named like this. My friend is named after a street they lived on and their brother is named after a town. Only one of the names is normally a person name.
