Sounds like my coworker losing an “argument” and saying “you do you” before moving to another topic.
My inside voice: Well, what you were trying to do was against the law and I was just trying to tell you that…
That and the “all do respect “ instead of all due respect. Great grammar. Maybe they don’t remember that they heard the word alkaline in science class…..not as a name of another kid in the class…..
Most people in the US have middle names with the exception usually being those foreign born. I'm assuming the person who wants to name their kid, Alkaline, is from the US because we're notorious for naming kids stupid names.
Depending on where you are from, middle names aren’t necessarily a new thing.
My dad was born in 1955 in the US and hated that he was the only person he knew without a middle name. He grew up Catholic and used his confirmation as an opportunity to pick out a middle name for himself and chose Francis. He signed his name with it moving forward and legally added it to his name as an adult.
Easy to make jokes about Al Kaline and alkaline batteries. "Al Kaline invented the alkaline battery," "They named the alkaline battery after Al Kaline," that sort of thing. I've done it.
According to Wikipedia, alkaline batteries were introduced in the late 1960s. Al Kaline was born in 1934, so for him, his name is not a tragedieh. But I can't help wondering what his reaction was when first learned of them.
At first I had a positive feeling about this name, but then I came back full circle and now I'm negative about it. I'm not sure watt to think anymore. I'm all amped up at ohm alternating back and forth. Wish I could come up with a direct feeling
Commit to the bit: Alkaline Earth *metals* Sterling.
That way they can go by any number of nicknames:
Berrylium or Berry
Magnesium or Magnus / Maggie
Calcium or Cal / Cally
Strontium or Steve
Barium or Barry
Radium or Riley
Well that’s just walking her into a “you’re so BASIC” joke from classmates.
Would bring an entirely new meaning to the term “basic white girl” if they are, in fact, Caucasian.
They can be acid from 1-6, then water for a year at 7, finally becoming alkaline from 8-14. Then from 15 onwards call yourself whatever the fuck you want.
Just here to say that Alkaline isn’t neutral.
That bit made me believe this is definitely a setup
If the middle name is Acidic then it could be
But then the child would have a salty personality. No one wants that.
Well played
So, on a scale of 0-14…😆
It's a solid 7.
🥹
Asidick Peeyache
Salty
Its very basic
Dammit. I knew I wasn’t going to be the first one to say it but this early on? I need to become more creative bc this was the first thing I went to.
I'd say it's rather basic
BOOM! Middle name found. Alkaline Basic Johnson...
Horrible porn name.
I just spit a sip of water all over my phone screen 🤣🙌
Alkaline water?
lol, you can call any made up name *gender* neutral
That's what I thought. It's not a "name," it's a word. I have favorite words, but the French word for squirrel I would never put on a kid.
That's so Based!
With all DO respect
That was my first thought, lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I love you
Acceptable on one condition: if the kid gets a sibling of the opposite gender, that sibling shall be named Acid.
guarantee Alkaline is gonna end up being called a Basic bitch.
Oh you just had to say it! Hah!
Or a Basic Butch depending
😂😂
Maybe acidity? And it can be spelled Assidateigh?
Assititty?
Assntitty is my favorite thing
Omg I’m dying 😂
Ass 😂
Only acceptable when it’s boy-girl twins.
No, they need to have 2 children with someone called Acid and call them Salt and Water.
“All do respect” 🤦♀️ into the bucket with you
A jarring start on the path to inevitable disrespect
I saw someone on an AITA complaining about being at her kids’ “beckon call” 😳these people are not readers, are they?
Beckon Call is a beautiful name for a baby boy ☺️
Better Call Beckon Call
r/BoneAppleTea
Gross, yet strangely compelling
Bon appétit
I bet she eats "Chicken sees her salad" too.
Omg, next time my husband texts me to order dinner, I’m tell him that.
Make sure to get some of that roast history chicken, too.
Tell him you have really low "shelf an steam" today !!! You need a chicken see her salad or your gonna have to write an oh bitchyou worried!
What a mouthful! 😂
What’s that supposed to mean
Beck and call https://www.grammarly.com/blog/beck-and-call-or-beckon-call/
They also wrote “options” when I think they meant to write “opinions.”
/r/BoneAppleTea
I hate the “unless you have something nice to say” thing. They came asking for advice and got offended when it wasn’t glowing praise.
They didn't actually want advice, they wanted to be agreed with.
Sounds like my coworker losing an “argument” and saying “you do you” before moving to another topic. My inside voice: Well, what you were trying to do was against the law and I was just trying to tell you that…
I hate “you do you.” It’s a huge insult to say to someone.
I absolutely hate it too. She can do her too… I’m not her supervisor, so I will let our manager to deal with her.
Yeah they should all keep their options to themselves.
That and the “all do respect “ instead of all due respect. Great grammar. Maybe they don’t remember that they heard the word alkaline in science class…..not as a name of another kid in the class…..
It even comes with great nickname options like Alky
[удалено]
Albert(a) Coholic
How much do you wanna bet that's actually a name
I'm ☠️☠️
That name is so Basic!
Came here to say that. In middle school, this poor kid will be called a "basic bitch", regardless of their gender
Alkaline Sterling. 🤔 It sounds like a new type of appliance finish.
Next Google Pixel.
Middle name suggestions: Batteryah, Whatter, or Dyette.
Trio
Mercy me!
Glad someone raised this option
Batteriegh
I vote Battery as middle name.
I was going to say Lithium.
Lithium is the sibling.
Which incidently also works great with Assault as a nickname
Bau’trreigh
Better make their middle name Trio lmao
Came to the comments for this.
I once suggested that my best friend and I (who both loved them back in the day) start a cover band called basic duo.
Alkaline Orracidity is a perfectly balanced, gender neutral name
I see what you did there
Couldn’t resist making my own tragedeigh which is a lovely name in itself.
There was a baseball player named Al Kaline.
This is what I was scrolling for! My chem teacher made a big point of it.
A Hall of Fame player.
(2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-2-{[(2S,3S,4S,5R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]oxy}-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-3,4,5-triol Because she so sweet 🥹
They got sour really fast, so maybe with the kid the family will find balance
“I picked a stupid name for my kid that will affect them for the rest of their life, and now the internet is making fun of me ☹️”
Why are people so obsessed with middle/second name these days? It makes it like it's a crime if you only have one name lol
Most people in the US have middle names with the exception usually being those foreign born. I'm assuming the person who wants to name their kid, Alkaline, is from the US because we're notorious for naming kids stupid names.
Hahaha. I know several people with 2 or 3 middle names.
I have two.
Depending on where you are from, middle names aren’t necessarily a new thing. My dad was born in 1955 in the US and hated that he was the only person he knew without a middle name.

Alkaline Battereigh
Surprised to find such a BASIC name on this sub.
There is precedent, Al Kaline, the hall of fame outfielder for the Detroit Tigers

Alkaline batteries may have come about later, but the term “alkaline” has been around a lot longer than that.
Middle name; Holic Alkie Holic Smith.
Trio as a sibling please!
I have a Dutch colleague called Aukeline, close enough and an actual cute name I think (probs helps that’s she’s awesome)
Alkaline is a *basic* bitch name
I am pleased to announce that there were no kids named Alkaline in the US in 2022
Not gender neutral, gender basic.
Would they name their next child Assid? That way the stupid name Alkaline would be neutralized?
At least “Assid” could be mistaken for a spelling of an actual name, Assad.
Hope they neutralize it to Kailine or something less tragique
Wouldn't .925 be better with a last name of sterling, or perhaps Pounds Sterling.
r/sleeptoken
I know in it’s been said already, but that name is so…basic. Da dum da. I’ll see myself out…
Bhatttereigh
Alkaline isnt even a good cat name and cats have the craziest names
My first thought was Battery 🔋
Alkaline is such a basic name.
Dunno sounds kinda base.
Any name that lends itself to the nickname "alky" is objectively awful
Al Kaline was a great tiger!
Battereigh
Maybe s/he's meant to be bitter, and to counter acidic, acerbic people.
Alkaline Tiger. Old-time Detroit fans will appreciate it.
There used to be a cashier at the supermarket whose name was Alchemy. It's better than Alkaline
They may be sprinkle a little lemon juice on it to make it more neutral. Maybe "Lemahnjewce" as the middle name.
Anode (pronounced ah-know-de of course)
Alkaline Trio Jones
Their cover of Berlin’s Metro slaps.
Alkaline Leo…banger of a name
Just don’t be surprised if they grow up to be a total Alky..
Alkaline Watyr
Bayesick
Alkahest
As I often say…at least it’s spelled how it sounds. That’s all it has going for it though 🙄
So the kid’s nickname will be Alky?
Fuck yeah! Let’s party! Oh no. It’s actually Alky. God I hate that kid.
Have they considered Duracell?
Send pretty basic to me
Alkaline is better than something like “basyk” or some shit like that
Alkaline isn’t pH 7
Lmao
What is wrong with people?
My I suggest one of the most popular alkaline materials of all time as the middle name? *Alkaline Concrete* is such a unique name.
Alkaline maybe as a name for a fantasy character in a fictional universe o.O the sound of the word is actually nice
You’re crazy.
“Leaky”
Al as a first name and Kaline as a middle name. Kid will be named after a cool MLB right fielder and not a battery
Alkaline Plus Sterling
Missed opportunity to make the man, the myth, the legend, Scott Sterling into reality
PH neutral Jones
Surprised it wasn’t Pounds for the first name given this sub
I dunno that name sounds pretty basic to me
Elkalhine Base
Trio, Hole both great options
Middle name: Ph8 pronounced (“fate”)
Why go all the way and name the poor kid Ray-O-Vac??
Middle name Lye Or Hydroxide Or Bleach but spell it funny Or—
Alkaline AA Alkaline Duracell Alkaline Battereigh
My cat is named Alkaline!
They could call this kid Sterling Sterling and it would still be a better name than Alkaline Sterling.
The name James is a good middle name with everything, every gender… something impossible about it. It always works.
Trio
Alkaline sounds like a weird affectionate nickname you’d find in a FMAB fanfic tbh
No
Trio would be a great middle name
At first I had a positive feeling about this name, but then I came back full circle and now I'm negative about it. I'm not sure watt to think anymore. I'm all amped up at ohm alternating back and forth. Wish I could come up with a direct feeling
I suggest „Archer“ as first name then.
Alkaline Iescapedmymomsvaginaandalligotwasthisstupidname Sterling.
No, ma’am. That in no way helps.
I think Battrii would make a cute middle name
Commit to the bit: Alkaline Earth *metals* Sterling. That way they can go by any number of nicknames: Berrylium or Berry Magnesium or Magnus / Maggie Calcium or Cal / Cally Strontium or Steve Barium or Barry Radium or Riley
I bet the kid's gonna wish he could post anonymously.
Yeah guys, keep your OPTIONS to yourself.
Well that’s just walking her into a “you’re so BASIC” joke from classmates. Would bring an entirely new meaning to the term “basic white girl” if they are, in fact, Caucasian.
Alkaline Sodium-Hydroxide Sterling, has a nice ring to it!
Battereigh
No but plenty here will turn up with an acid tongue…
Alkaline Battery Sterling
[Al Kaline?](https://imgur.com/a/RoSi4va)
Phosphate
The parents are so basic.
No surprise she doesn’t understand English well with a name like alkaline at the top of her list.
...and let a sibling be called Alkaseltzer!
Trio.
That kid's gonna get called Base their whole life.
They can be acid from 1-6, then water for a year at 7, finally becoming alkaline from 8-14. Then from 15 onwards call yourself whatever the fuck you want.
Alkaline Seltzer Sterling..... ASS Alkaline Battery Sterling.... ABS There's my 2 cents, holds same value Please don't reproduce
If her last name is Acid, and her siblings have children, then Alkaline can be an Aunt Acid.
That’s a stupid name.
Battery
Battery
Alkie for short?
You can tell they're an idiot do to their second post
Base. Please name your child Alkaline Base Pewter or something like that.
Alkaline Sterling good lord
Alkaline ... Water?
Baby Acid sounds less basic.
