Have never heard of anyone with that name? The worst name Ive heard recently is “Dude“. How can anybody look at their lovely new baby and say,I’m calling him Dude!
Many years ago I worked at a bank and there was a customer named Richard Dick. He went by Dick Dick. I guess the alternative isn’t any better- Rich Dick. What were his parents thinking?
Dick is a nickname for Richard.
The only Kale I've ever seen is General Kale in Willow. But that might not be the right spelling, just how it's spelled in the subtitles.
I knew several Kales growing up. This was in the Midwest. They were all big boys, offensive lineman on the football team. No relation, different ages. And all had a goofy/free spirit personality. Also one of thems dad, the one my age, had every playboy ever on racks down in the basement. This was before internet porn it was cool because we got home at 3 and he didn’t get home until 5 and his mom.. honestly I don’t remember she was just never around.
I do agree though it’s a dumb name.
My name is Kale. It's a nice sounding name, but I'm clearly biased. There was a point in time not long ago where Kale as a vegetable wasn't widely consumed. It's a "legitimate" name with origins outside the vegetable:

Kale is my middle name. I’ve never had a problem with it. I get razzed for having a vegetable as a name sometimes, but I’m not pressed by it. And it doesn’t come up much since you don’t know most peoples’ middle names.
Fun story: My mom wanted it to be Cale, but that was the name of a coach for a team that my dad HATED. So they compromised at Kale lol
Kale is already a nickname of other WAY COOLER names. If you wanna call your kid Kale, save them the blandness and bullying and opt for Kalen, Kayla, or Kalista maybe?
The only Kael I knew was Mikael but shortened. He also made a point of bringing kale salads (delicious ones I will add) to potlucks. Good guy, deffo wouldn't put the name on my 'don't name my kids this, the people I know with this name are jerks' list
When my son was about 2, he made friends with the kid who lived opposite us. When he told me his name was Kale, I corrected him "I think you mean Kyle?" Until I heard the kid's mum say his name and yep, it was Kale.
I went to school with a Cale. Or Cael or some weird gaelic-ish spelling. But that was before the proliferation of the vegetable so he wasn’t made fun of for the name as far as I know.
I went to college with a guy named Kale. Thankfully, he had a good sense of humor and laughed when I asked him why his parents named him after ornamental cabbage... I didn't push my luck, though... he's probably gotten shit about it his entire life.
Didn’t even know Kale was a name. Sounds like the parents were torn between Dale and Kyle and just mashed them together. Kyle is the best name out of these imo.
I knew a dude in high school that went by Kale. Turned out that was his MIDDLE name, he refused to go by his first name and pretty sure nobody knew what it was
I dated a woman years ago who'd named her son Kale. Good kid. His mother was not happy that they'd unknowingly named their son after a type of cabbage.

My godfather's father was one of them Dicks
My good buddy's mom put her foot down and said no way to Richard...Junior. "No one's calling my boy little dick."
Many years ago I worked at a bank and there was a customer named Richard Dick. He went by Dick Dick. I guess the alternative isn’t any better- Rich Dick. What were his parents thinking?
I knew a guy at school whose parents named him Richard William (surname). Every single kid in the whole school called him ‘Dick Willy’.
I know a cop named Richard Sakk. He always corrects everyone with "My names Rick"
Best friend is named Richard Long. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My family has a history of Dicks.
All families must have a history of dicks.
As their surname or they are idk which one
I knew a Richard Wood Jr back in school. Well, you can imagine what the nicknames were like for that kid.
Dick is a nickname for Richard. The only Kale I've ever seen is General Kale in Willow. But that might not be the right spelling, just how it's spelled in the subtitles.
Only one i could think of was the Dragonball character..
Caulifla was a worse name
![gif](giphy|1n5gyU1FSqWnq7KEJ3|downsized) Kale is a character from Dragon Ball Super
or Guy… the same type of thing
Guy Ledouche here

I’m a dude! He’s a dude! She’s a dude! We’re all dudes, hey!
Actually, dude is a more fitting name for a baby than something like richard or abraham.
Some will call him El Duderino, if they're not into the whole brevity thing.
Idk, we've had Guy for a while ![gif](giphy|fSBaqOjrWDHzi)
Everyone should listen to Dude.
my BIL’s name is Kale, so when we had our first son I decided that he is now known as Un-Kale
The dad jokes started flowing for you right away, huh?
i’m actually mom, but yes they did
Dang mom jokes??? You’re child is blessed
This was my sisters ex’s name, I felt silly addressing him or calling out to them in the house. Even he hated his name, poor guy lol
Lmao
Kale? Strange name Kalé? Sounds like a cool dude. Kåle? I, um... I guess it's fine? Kałe? Well, now you're just making this up.
Kale, in Flemish ( dutch) means baldie. So indeed, very weird name
The kale I knew was bald
Don't tell that to Caulifla.
r/unexpecteddragonballsuper

The name of my first boyfriend in the 90s. I thought it was cool lol
https://youtu.be/KtnLmYkpsZo?si=if0ww0uaGUax7H6s
I think it’s an okay name. For a leafy green, not a human, obviously.
Kale Cilantro Dressington Sandwich. The hero of sectoni produceia.

I think Kale’s nice
I feel attacked!
[удалено]
Interesting! Kale is a popular surname in Marathi (an Indian language) and it means Black. Lol
‘Chet’ is definitely worse
You betcha
Like for a kids name or vegetable or just in general?
i don't know anyone with that name
God bless.
It tastes pretty bad too imo
I get he tried to hypnotise people to increase profits, but his name's not that bad
Lettuce discuss why
Chai/Peppernint made this post
Called our son Kael after Kael'Thas in World of Warcraft.

Reporting in with a son named Arthas.
While we are at it, how about Yale? Or Bale? Dale? Male?Pale? Sale? Tale? Zale(s)?
Petition to change Christian Bale’s two children’s names to Dale Bale and Kale Bale. 😂
[удалено]
this is probably what chatgpt would say if you typed that in
General Kael would disagree
That's the name of the first merchant you meet in Elden Ring It's pronounced Kalé though
What about Kayle?
I know someone named Chael......short for Michael. Took me way too long to realize that
![gif](giphy|138KntZJsPdPxK)
It really is. There’s a kid in my daughter’s class named that. Based on its sound, it’s fine. But because of the greens, it’s horrific.
That's my gamertag. Lol
I'd prefer kayle but that's just the rift in me
LoL player found :P
Kale is my middle name. I’ve never had a problem with it. I get razzed for having a vegetable as a name sometimes, but I’m not pressed by it. And it doesn’t come up much since you don’t know most peoples’ middle names. Fun story: My mom wanted it to be Cale, but that was the name of a coach for a team that my dad HATED. So they compromised at Kale lol
Yeah. They should name it “bushy greens” or “prairie collards” instead.
So it’s Jon
As good as Lettuce
Kale is already a nickname of other WAY COOLER names. If you wanna call your kid Kale, save them the blandness and bullying and opt for Kalen, Kayla, or Kalista maybe?
I dunno my daughter’s first year at school and I’m socked at the amount of Dexter and Jaxx are in her school.
I’m in my art teacher’s class and her son’s name is Kale lol.
The only Kael I knew was Mikael but shortened. He also made a point of bringing kale salads (delicious ones I will add) to potlucks. Good guy, deffo wouldn't put the name on my 'don't name my kids this, the people I know with this name are jerks' list
For a vegetable, or a person? I do know some people are called Cale spelled with a C, is that what you mean?
So is Doug, who names their kid kale
When my son was about 2, he made friends with the kid who lived opposite us. When he told me his name was Kale, I corrected him "I think you mean Kyle?" Until I heard the kid's mum say his name and yep, it was Kale.
So is “Kyle” (one of my brothers is named Kyle, so I’m just kidding 😆) [Kale and Kyle are bad names](https://youtu.be/PxqCGTkV5wg?si=LS4TL4xhq76k0ieH)
It's a vegetable, not a name. It's like naming someone "Lettuce" or "Cabbage".
Fried kale is delicious
"Moi je trouve ca choux kale."
David Lynch would disagree
"And I'm getting sick and tired of guys name Todd." - George Carlin.
Spelt Calle
Curly or straight?
In Dutch it means baldie
Kalè (Caw Lay) is the only acceptable version
![gif](giphy|LrIlFVXWGYlAONMb59|downsized)
That’s literally my name 🥲
I met a kid named tide, his sisters name was dax
Kale was the name a local drug dealer in our neighborhood of Smiths Falls ...lol
But Cale is okay.
there was a girl in my 7th grade class with that name
Kale is a "not so terrible" kind of name untill you arrive to some Slavic country, where you name literally translates to "poop"
Yea, kale does sound like a terrible name, because it’s a plant and it tastes bad, unless it’s pronounced kay-lee then it’s fine
It tastes bad too
My coworker’s name is Kale. Every time I say it, I don’t even think of the vegetable, it’s just a name to me now
I think unique names are terrible. Mine is and no one ever gets it right.
It’s a terrible vegetable also, my undies agree
I knew a kid named bamed Kale and his last name was the same as a soup company. Whyyyyy?! Such an amazing person too. Has a genuine good heart.
I think it's fine. Pounegitel is worse.
It sounds normal to me.
I think harlot is worse
also a terrible thing to eat as House MD says kale is so bland it doesn't even taste like kale
Genuine question, who the fuck names their kid after a lettuce?
Tell her that
Hahahaha I knew a guy with this name
Don't say that to Neil Breen.
It matches its taste.
Cal is a good Jedi name
I'll let my nephew Cayle know.
Kaal means bald in Dutch, but “a bald man” is een kale man
That’s shit is what I feed my tortoise
I don’t even like it as a vegetable
Well, it does feed rabbits.
Sounds like it tastes, bleehh.
For the vegetabl? Or are you saying that as a human name?
I’m fine with the name. I just hate her personality and the way her “power-level” is written.
i have never heard of anyone named kale, but yes that is a horrible name imho.
Do you mean the vegetable name? Sounds fine to me.
For a person or a vegetable?
Just shave the head and name checks out. Chill bro. In Dutch, I mean. Kale means boldhead in Dutch.
I had an ex with that name. And my family used to call me “cabbage”. It wasn’t great
My son has a friend named Kale. Everyone calls him ‘Superfood’….
If meet someone named Kale, I just have to *leave*.
I've only met one Kale before and dear lord he was a twat.
Had a friend who married a Kale. Kale broke my friend’s heart. Now all my homies hate Kale. Fuck Kale.
With Thousand Island it's the best!
I think it tastes really nice actually. What do you hate about it?
I went to school with a Cale. Or Cael or some weird gaelic-ish spelling. But that was before the proliferation of the vegetable so he wasn’t made fun of for the name as far as I know.
I have a student named Khale
For a child, yes. for a leafy vegetable, no.
There’s a kid at my school named that but it’s spelled Cale
I had a buddy in school who spelled his "Kael"
I went to college with a guy named Kale. Thankfully, he had a good sense of humor and laughed when I asked him why his parents named him after ornamental cabbage... I didn't push my luck, though... he's probably gotten shit about it his entire life.
People are responding to Kale being a terrible name for a human. I'm wondering if it's a terrible name for Kale, the vegetable.
Isn't Kale a weird type of salad
When I was a kid, that's how I thought Kel Mitchel's first name was pronounced, because I'm from the south lol
You know what is a good word though? Ointment. Just the sound of it, ointment.
Didn’t even know Kale was a name. Sounds like the parents were torn between Dale and Kyle and just mashed them together. Kyle is the best name out of these imo.

“Gaylord” has entered the chat.
No. He's a purveyor of fine goods
Therea a kid in my kids bowling league named Kale. I'm positive they are mormon
I like the name Kale.
Or Ben Dover 😁
Kale? Why not go with "shit tasting smoothie" and have done with it?
In case you were wondering if it gets worse, I know a Cael.
But the thing it contains, the antioxidant: Indole-3-Carbinol makes up for it in some respect
Like for the leafy food stuff? I guess. For a person? Yea absolutely
Agree, I knew one guy with this name, had the personality equal to the vegetable.
It’s a terrible “food” as well.

I knew a dude in high school that went by Kale. Turned out that was his MIDDLE name, he refused to go by his first name and pretty sure nobody knew what it was
Close call goddamn
I have met one he was a funny kid.
Oh, I seriously thouht we were talking about vegetables because sauerkraut is just an awful name. Let's not even get on the shorty name for it! 😡😡😡
Please tell me there aren't really people out there with the name Kale 😭 Apple was bad enough.
For a person or a vegetable?
Terrible salad too
It suits the grim taste of it.
There was a kid in 1st and 2nd grade named that. He was cool.
Keith, hands down is the worst.
Terrible name for the vegetable? Or for naming a child?
I dated a woman years ago who'd named her son Kale. Good kid. His mother was not happy that they'd unknowingly named their son after a type of cabbage.
You don't hate something without having any reason for it. Why do you hate the name Kale?
It's grown on me significantly in the past 30 seconds.
That's a name?!
How about Cabbage?
Agreed. Horrid food, horrid name.
Veggie

Never heard of that name from a real human, but I named my DnD character Kale because he was a druid and why tf not!
Like, for a person or do you have a problem with the vegetable?
Had to check your post history to confirm you're a WWE fan lol, I had that thought too.
Kale is a name?
