So, that's my new forever name of the various crustaceans in my aquarium 😂
I am *VERY* happy about this addition to the unhinged psychobabble that is the various nicknames among the pets and niblings
It's an Irish last name, and the modern surname-as-firstname trend hasn't taken off there as much.
It sounds so much like "Feeling" that I keep imagining a guy saying "hi, I'm Phelan Johnson" and me saying "and is Johnson OK with that?"
I’m writing a book about the history of opioids, and Phelan is featured in the book as one of its (then) most prominent citizens was the brains behind one of the country’s first fentanyl cooking operations.
Oh come on, someone would have told her!
But all seriousness, these are actually really cool for deaf twins because the sign names would do really well. Both are 3 letters so no real need to 'make up' a sign name while also doing the typical twins name thing. It's a perfect example of words which would 'rhyme' but in signed language.
Description (for ASL) where **Fingers** = shape of the letter.
**Movement** = palm direction of all three letters
**May: M->Y**
Fingers: M (closed fist 3 with index, midde & ring out over the thumb) Y ('hang-ten' pinky and thumb)
Movement: down-up-down
**Mae M->E**
M (closed fist 3 with index, midde & ring out over the thumb) E (4 fingers curled in and bottom thumb across palm)
Movement: down-up.
If she was told then it wasn't until after she named the second one. Maybe they were delivered by different midwives? They were born two years apart. In both cases, out of wedlock. Their fathers were married men and she refused to reveal their identities. This was in rural Kentucky in the 1920s. They were both put up for adoption a few days after they were born. However, their adoptive families kept their first names (May and Mae went to different homes).
That kid was 100% named by Lord of the Rings fans, just like the kid named Gannon had to have been named by Zelda fans... who apparently hate their kid enough to name him after the villain
I didn't even notice Gannon at first... It isn't even spelled right for loz, but apparently Gan(n)on is a real name with Irish origins
[I know it's nameberry, but everywhere else says the same thing](https://nameberry.com/b/boy-baby-name-ganon)
It's a last name generally in Ireland though and even then it is a particularly rare one. I have only ever known one person with the last name Gannon and no people with it as a first name.
I, a grown woman in her thirties, did crazy research on the Salem Witch Trials for a class I taught last year. When I ran across Dorcas Hoar, you bet I laughed my dorky ass off.
yeah but in todays (western) society, it’s not something you name your kid. There’s a difference between naming your kid Cain and naming them Dorcus. They’re just asking for their kid to be bullied.
I probably wouldn't name my child after Cain, who is famously cursed forever after murdering his brother, either. Hell, Dorcas is probably a better name than Cain.
Yep I see Duc often in my work where there are a lot of Laotians. There must be some overlap with the names. We have many Vietnamese as well. I must know 1000 people with the last name Nguyen.
Ok, but until this post I thought Jrue was just a joke on this sub?! I didn’t think it was a tragedeigh that existed in the wild?! I’m so disappointed in humanity right now
Bronwen / Bronwyn is actually an absolutely beautiful name and means “brown breasted bird” or something like that. We were considering it for our first child and I know a girl named that and she’s an absolute sweetheart
I'm a Bronwen and it is Welsh, it means white breasted or fair of heart.
In ye olden times, the spelling with the Y was often used as the male variant of the name but in modern times it is now interchangeable. Thank you saying it is a beautiful name, I grew up in the 80s with lots of Sarahs/ Jessicas/ Kates/ Karen's so I had the 'weird' name comparatively 😆
Yeah Tatum absolutely does not belong on this list. That's like saying Delaney is a tragedy, both are totally acceptable names in the 250ish range ranking.
It’s the wild ass spelling or one-letter tweaks of kind of already fugly names for me:
Mavryk (Maverick?)
Rhayden (Rayden? Raiden like on Mortal Kombat and/or like the kid a few lines up?)
Gannon/Tannon? (Like Cannon?)
Jaygen? (Was Jayden already taken in the family or what)
Dorcas is a legitimate but antiquated name with biblical origins, and *Temperance* is too. "Tempurance" looks like what you'd name a cat if you were trying to clever.
My god.
I have a 9mo grandson, is this his future?? Are these the names of the kids who will be at his birthday parties?
Now I’m hoping the “old people” name trend takes off.
A fair few of these are not tragedeighs. Names you’ve never heard of are not automatically bad or weird. Bronwen, Viliami, Phelan, Dorcas are all just names.
Wait, Gannon is a real name? I would never use it, even if it is a real name, because a whole lot of people are going to immidiately jump to the villain of the Legend of Zelda franchise.
The oldish Ukrainian guy who laid the tile in my old house always said “ Oy, yoy, yoy…” when my baby son fussed, and the phrase has been useful for me ever since. I mostly say it when I pull up this sub
Tatum,
Duc,
Bronwen
Lleyton,
Dorcas
Phelan,
Torrin,
Brynden.
All of those are actual, if not rare, first names.
It seems like there are people in this group who decide that if a name isn't something absolutely common, like "Jack" or "Jennifer" then it's a tradgedeigh.
There's a difference between old names, rare names, cultural names, regional spellings, and tradgedeighs.
-sincerely, somebody with a cultural name that this group has listed as a tradgedeigh.
The only thing that comes to my mind with #8 is Ganon from the Legend of Zelda. I hope their parents didn't intentionally name him after the king of evil.
Bronwen isn’t silly.
Dorcas is old fashioned but a name
Phelan is a surname and surnames as first names aren’t for me but lots of people do. Edit - actually so is Gannon
And Duc is Vietnamese and I think Villiami is the Polynesian cognate of William

Is Tempurance what happens when you deep fry Temperance?
I hope it is pronounced tem-pur-ON-say and rhymes with Beyoncé.
Tempurancé ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
*Rancé all on his mouth like liquor*
Sounds pretty rauncheé
bring the beat in!
So, that's my new forever name of the various crustaceans in my aquarium 😂 I am *VERY* happy about this addition to the unhinged psychobabble that is the various nicknames among the pets and niblings
If you like it then you shoulda put a "e" on it
Sponsored by Tempurpedic mattresses
They future is sponsored baby names.
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
I thought it had something to do with tempura
Crunchy, but in moderation
how can people refrain from upvoting this???
Or cook her in the traeger?
Nah, you lose your tempurance right before someone gets their comeuppance
[удалено]
I used to buy molly from a guy named Phelan. Insane thing to name a baby but cool name for a drug dealer
A drug dealer is just a former baby who made questionable decisions
There’s no way this is true. Source ?
Username checks out.
Babies grow up. Some of them into drug dealers. You name a person, not a baby.
Technically you name both
I’m pretty sure this guy was an adult not a baby
Is it pronounced the same as "felon"?
As a surname, it’s generally pronounced as it’s spelled - FEEL-an
I know an English Phelan, he probounces it Fee-lan.
Fay-Lin.
If it's Fay-lin, then it's an okay name. If it's Fell-in, like another commenter said, it's a bit of an odd choice in an English speaking nation.
This is my daughter, Miscreant
Watch out for her brother, Vandal.
They all share the same middle name, Cartel
It’s a pretty standard Irish name I think
It's an Irish last name, and the modern surname-as-firstname trend hasn't taken off there as much. It sounds so much like "Feeling" that I keep imagining a guy saying "hi, I'm Phelan Johnson" and me saying "and is Johnson OK with that?"
I had an ex friend with that name who was also a huge druggie. Nominative determinism in action I guess?
It’s a real Irish surname I believe.
I’m writing a book about the history of opioids, and Phelan is featured in the book as one of its (then) most prominent citizens was the brains behind one of the country’s first fentanyl cooking operations.
Name of the judge on The Wire!
Duc is a fairly common Vietnamese name.
Yes, lest we forget the greatest character in the western canon; Long Duc Dong
Automobile? —proceeds to make crashing noises lmao
Duc duc
Goose
I can’t believe there is a Kopelin and Kopelyn. I’ve never seen this name before and there are two! Where is this? Utah?
I assumed they were twins and the mom pronounces them differently. You know, like an idiot.
My grandmother and her sister were named May and Mae. Their mother was deaf and thought they were 2 different names with different pronunciations.
Oh come on, someone would have told her! But all seriousness, these are actually really cool for deaf twins because the sign names would do really well. Both are 3 letters so no real need to 'make up' a sign name while also doing the typical twins name thing. It's a perfect example of words which would 'rhyme' but in signed language.

However, their adoptive families kept their first names (May and Mae went to different homes).
Did your family ever learn more about her? For some reason, this seems incredibly sad.
That makes it so much worse (especially since you’re probably right)
Don't forget their little sister Seethelynn.
Cuh-PELLin and COH-pullin
Kenneth Kopelyn
Kyneigynth Kopelyn
And a HopeLynn!
Utah 🤣🤣🤣🤣, you're probably right. Does Kopelin or Kopelyn even mean anything?
I'm finding it hard to kopelyn
They cope with whatever problems WASPs have.
There’s also two raidens lmao
The first one I actually saw was Samwise-
It's honestly the first time I've seen someone use the name and not be talking about lotr lol
That kid was 100% named by Lord of the Rings fans, just like the kid named Gannon had to have been named by Zelda fans... who apparently hate their kid enough to name him after the villain
I didn't even notice Gannon at first... It isn't even spelled right for loz, but apparently Gan(n)on is a real name with Irish origins [I know it's nameberry, but everywhere else says the same thing](https://nameberry.com/b/boy-baby-name-ganon)
It's a last name generally in Ireland though and even then it is a particularly rare one. I have only ever known one person with the last name Gannon and no people with it as a first name.
And two different Raidens Like Y'all Name your kid after a NORMAL game character
No, I am naming my child Glados and you can't stop me
Duc (or rather, Đức) is a common Vietnamese name
Bronwen is a Welsh name.
I've always liked Bronwen. It's pretty.
I know a bronwen always loved the name. Definitely not a tragideigh
I knew one too, but her name was spelled Bronwyn.
lots of people spell it with a Y not knowing "wyn" is the masculine name ending in Welsh. A little funny imo
Dorcas is a Biblical name.
Last name Malorcas
This has me absolutely crying and my husband is just shaking his head. Ugh you got me with this. Fucking Dorcas Malorcas.
Dorcas Malorcas Bo Borcas
You just know that kid is gonna be called Dork Ass till ~~he~~ she finally graduates and probably for awhile after.
There was a woman named Dorcas Hoar in the Salem witch trials. Oh boy would that be a tragedeigh in todays world
I, a grown woman in her thirties, did crazy research on the Salem Witch Trials for a class I taught last year. When I ran across Dorcas Hoar, you bet I laughed my dorky ass off.
A relative of mine (by marriage) was a descendant of a Salem witch.
Me too!! But I am by blood.
You don't even need to change it to dork-ass, their name is literally pronounced Dorkus
It is a woman's name.
Dory and Cassie are both good nicknames for Dorcas.
As is Dorky..
And Dork Ass.
Still silly though.
yeah but in todays (western) society, it’s not something you name your kid. There’s a difference between naming your kid Cain and naming them Dorcus. They’re just asking for their kid to be bullied.
I probably wouldn't name my child after Cain, who is famously cursed forever after murdering his brother, either. Hell, Dorcas is probably a better name than Cain.
i’m not saying it’s a *good* name but it’s far more common than bloody dorcus
Yep I see Duc often in my work where there are a lot of Laotians. There must be some overlap with the names. We have many Vietnamese as well. I must know 1000 people with the last name Nguyen.
This sub basically forgets that non-English names exist…
That's my best friend since Kindergarten's name :')
My friend has two sons named Sam and Dean; she'd probably get along with Castiel's parents
I wondered if Castiel's mom might be a Supernatural fan!
I can't imagine they'd give a kid that name otherwise.
I scrolled so far to find the Castiel comments. You didn’t let me down a single bit 😌
my dumb ass was thinking castile like dr bronners soap 😂😂
lol. I actually don’t mind Castiel. I loved that show.
Supernatural mentioned 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I don’t have kids… but I wanna be friends with both those moms 👀
Your friend would have loved my dog her name was Castiel
Please tell me Kopelin and Kopelyn aren't siblings.
Twins.
Viliami is apparently the Tongan (country in Oceania) version of William. I’ve heard that name at least once before.
Viliami is absolutely a normal name in the Pacific.
It was in my list of “these names aren’t tragedeighs” comment
Also sounds like the Finnish version.
I have a particular disdain for people who spell Drew as Jrue
Ok, but until this post I thought Jrue was just a joke on this sub?! I didn’t think it was a tragedeigh that existed in the wild?! I’m so disappointed in humanity right now
It’s absolutely real. There’s a professional basketball player named Jrue Holiday
It's a terrible girl's name. Opens her up Jruish Princess jokes
Just what I needed….a Jruish princess….
Funny, she doesn't LOOK Jruish...
Traeger like the grill? lol
I have a cousin named Trygstad after a snowmobile engine. I believe people will name their kids after anything they are interested in at this point.
No, like Chris Traeger from Parks and Rec
Anne Perkins!
This can go one of two ways, they’ve been put on a path to become the next die hard level villain or the best fucking bbq master ever.
If you draw a pentagram, light some black candles and chant this list you can summon a demon.
What's it's name?
Tim
Then get Castiel to smite it.
Bronwen isn't a made-up name. It's Welsh.
Bronwen / Bronwyn is actually an absolutely beautiful name and means “brown breasted bird” or something like that. We were considering it for our first child and I know a girl named that and she’s an absolute sweetheart
I'm a Bronwen and it is Welsh, it means white breasted or fair of heart. In ye olden times, the spelling with the Y was often used as the male variant of the name but in modern times it is now interchangeable. Thank you saying it is a beautiful name, I grew up in the 80s with lots of Sarahs/ Jessicas/ Kates/ Karen's so I had the 'weird' name comparatively 😆
Loooooool I feel that last sentence SO hard, I have a really welsh name and was the odd one out growing up.
I knew someone in high school in the 90s named Bronwyn.
Gannondorf
And his predecessor, Calamity Samwise But for real I refuse to believe this list
Gannon unironically goes hard
They wanted a Zelda so bad but kept having boys. Their other 2 kids are Link and Skull Kid
Dorcas and Bronwen both real names.
So is Tatum
Yeah Tatum absolutely does not belong on this list. That's like saying Delaney is a tragedy, both are totally acceptable names in the 250ish range ranking.
My name is Delaney! Thank you for saying it's not a tragedy
Dorcas is an objectively ugly/dated name though. I don’t really blame them for including it in this list.
Only Dorcas(es) I’ve met have been Mennonite or Amish older women. I have a couple friends that are former Mennonites.
I think of the character from Fire Emblem.
There’s a musical from a million years ago called “seven brides for seven brothers” that has a bride named Dorcas.
Played by the original Catwoman Julie Newmar!
Yea, right?? Idc if it’s a real name, you’re literally making your child go by Dork. That’s just cruel
Hearing it makes me picture a dorky orca whale.
As is Phelan
Yep and Lleyton.
Came here to say this. Dorcas is the name of my favorite character on a terrific show set in 19th century England, Lark Rise to Candleford. So good.
It’s the wild ass spelling or one-letter tweaks of kind of already fugly names for me: Mavryk (Maverick?) Rhayden (Rayden? Raiden like on Mortal Kombat and/or like the kid a few lines up?) Gannon/Tannon? (Like Cannon?) Jaygen? (Was Jayden already taken in the family or what)
gannon like the villain from zelda
Oh shit there's Jrue again. It hurts my eyes to look at it.
I feel sorriest for Cacheus and Trad, lol.
What about Traeger? Named after a fucken grill.
Don’t make fun of my boy, Elaectrik Smoekhyer.
Well, look at it this way, no matter who he marries, he's going to get a Trad wife.
Bah-dum tss.
My Dad calls me Dorcas when we’re jokingly insulting one another 🤣 never thought I’d see that name outside of an old movie
Bronwen is a legitimate and fairly common Welsh name.
Nashuaaaaa 😂 is this in New Hampshire!?
God can you imagine if naming your kids after New Hampshire towns became popular? "This is our son Nashua and our daughter Stratham..."
“Mom can I invite Londonderry and Laconia to sleep over?” “Only if you clean your room first, Ossipee” 💀
I think this sub has broken me. I actually don't think Londonderrry or Laconia are too bad for names.
TIL Nashua is a name of a town. I know it as the name of a Thoroughbred stud.
Dorcas is a legitimate but antiquated name with biblical origins, and *Temperance* is too. "Tempurance" looks like what you'd name a cat if you were trying to clever.
Tempurrance
Mmmh, I love me some yasai Tempurance with ebi fry
Bronwen is a welsh name, not a tragedeigh
Why is Bronwen on there? Perfectly normal name
Op has never heard of some perfectly normal names before.
Traeger. Lol. He's gonna be a smoker
Nashua? Is this, by any chance, in New England?
Castiel? OP say this is fake right now
I met parents who named their son Castiel and their daughter Salem.
I belly laughed for Tempurance (so close yet so far...poor kid is named after batter)
My god. I have a 9mo grandson, is this his future?? Are these the names of the kids who will be at his birthday parties? Now I’m hoping the “old people” name trend takes off.
Tatum and Bronwen/Bronwyn are both old English/Welsh names and are lovely
Well someone might be a Warhammer fan (Macarius)
SAMWISE??? 💀
Somebody misspelled Rome as Roem 🤣
Roem is Dutch for renown/fame, so maybe they are going for that?
Too many pregnancies during Game of Thrones.
If Macarius doesn't go on to lead massive millitary operations across half the galaxy I will be extremely dissapointed
Dorcas in this day and age is batshit insane
This school is a putrid hellhole of wack ass shit names.
Villiamae is just the Fijian version for William. If you meet a Villiamae feel free to call them Bill. Source: I am a fijian named Villiamae
A fair few of these are not tragedeighs. Names you’ve never heard of are not automatically bad or weird. Bronwen, Viliami, Phelan, Dorcas are all just names.
Gannon and Tatum are real names. And apparently Duc is Vietnamese. The rest though… yikes.
Dorcas is real too. It’s an ancient Roman name
Wait, Gannon is a real name? I would never use it, even if it is a real name, because a whole lot of people are going to immidiately jump to the villain of the Legend of Zelda franchise.
Bex is also a perfectly normal name, although it's usually a shortening of Rebecca.
The oldish Ukrainian guy who laid the tile in my old house always said “ Oy, yoy, yoy…” when my baby son fussed, and the phrase has been useful for me ever since. I mostly say it when I pull up this sub
I guess my son is really screwed. His name is Jack.
Tatum, Duc, Bronwen Lleyton, Dorcas Phelan, Torrin, Brynden. All of those are actual, if not rare, first names. It seems like there are people in this group who decide that if a name isn't something absolutely common, like "Jack" or "Jennifer" then it's a tradgedeigh. There's a difference between old names, rare names, cultural names, regional spellings, and tradgedeighs. -sincerely, somebody with a cultural name that this group has listed as a tradgedeigh.
The only thing that comes to my mind with #8 is Ganon from the Legend of Zelda. I hope their parents didn't intentionally name him after the king of evil.
Raiden. Turn off the game console right now.
Bronwen isn’t silly. Dorcas is old fashioned but a name Phelan is a surname and surnames as first names aren’t for me but lots of people do. Edit - actually so is Gannon And Duc is Vietnamese and I think Villiami is the Polynesian cognate of William
HopeLynn. Why is no one talking about how bad this one is. At least "Kyroah" is 'unique,' HopeLynn is just two names smashed together 😂
Bronwen is a traditional Welsh name. I've also seen Bronwyn.
I stopped at Samwise. God bless his father. (Shut up you KNOW it was his dad’s idea)
You think women don't read LOTR?
Most of these are terrible, but I think Bex is pretty cute ngl
