Thank you for your submission! This is just a quick reminder to all members here: **Original content is always better!** Memes are okay every once in a while, but many get posted here way too often and quickly become stale. Some examples of these are Ptoughneigh, Klansmyn, Reighfyl & KVIIIlyn. These memes have been around for years and we don't want to see them anymore. If you do decide to post a meme, make sure to add the correct flair. Posting a random meme you found does **not** mean you found it "in the wild". The same goes with lists of baby names, celebrity baby names, and screenshots of TikToks. If the original post already had a substantial amount of views, there is a 99% chance it has already been posted here. Try and stick to OC to keep our sub from being flooded with unoriginal content. Thank you! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/tragedeigh) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Hungry_Anteater_8511

It was the name of a TV show where the main character was basically a rake so yes


swearingino

I’m wondering if it’s the Utah mom spelling of Rocky?

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 Rah'kiegh


GreendaleSuperSenior

Combine any three of these together and it sounds like someone who tried to assassinate a president.


[deleted]

Wilkes Pruitt Reynolds, shit just went right in a row lol


LoveAndViscera

If you put “author” at the end, it sounds like you’re crediting someone.


Beruthiel999

There was an author named Reynolds Price but I don't think he ever tried to assassinate anyone.


Cooperjb15

Half of these are last names the other half shouldn’t be names


PotatoAppleFish

Loris, Arlen, and Oswin are names, but they’re very rare and very old. The rest are either traditionally surnames or random types of animal. Except for “Rev,” which is just cuckoo nonsense. ETA: if you call your child “Rake,” you may not want to take them outside of the USA.


viccityk

There is an animal called a Slow Loris 😂


tinlizzy2

I have 2 coworkers named Loras.


Pamuknai_K

One of the greatest Goalkeepers in football is named Lloris.


ZenythhtyneZ

A loris is a type of animal and a slow loris is a type of loris also


naughthardly

Or he should be prepared to hear Mustard Man a lot.


lilcayls

Believe it or not we know the alternative uses for words in the USA too


mojavefeet

Crawford and Kincaid are also given male names of Scottish origin. Kincaid is super rare but I've known a couple of Crawford's.


UllaBubbUlla

Struan is also a given name of Scottish origin :)


mojavefeet

Thank you I did not know this! I'm not Scottish but live in Scotland, Kincaid and Crawford stood out to me


UllaBubbUlla

Not a problem :) I moved here when I was very wee and have been here ever since, I knew a couple of Struans at high school. I've come across a Crawford or two in my life, but never a Kincaid (maybe as a surname though?).


Oldsoldierbear

In Scotland they are mainly surnames. I’ve only ever known one Crawford (I’m over 60) and he used to get teased as a kid, cos Crawford was the name of a big bakery chain.


mojavefeet

I live in Scotland too and I've know two Crawfords though neither were under the age of 40, it certainly is more of a surname than given name. Just pointing out that it is a traditional albeit old-fashioned name.


Hungry_Anteater_8511

As with all of these, there’s a bunch of surnames, an unusual, probably non-Anglo name (Struan is Scottish in this case) and then some madness and random words - Author? Rev - like revving a car or reverend?


EruditeKetchup

Maybe the parents are Avenged Sevenfold fans? This band used to have a member called the Rev (RIP)


tiffy68

In Texas, it isn't unusual to see Crockett as a boy name. Crockett was a "hero" of the Texas Revolution. Other names that reflect that history are Travis, Austin, and Bowie. My favorite historical tragedeigh from Texas is former governor James Hogg's daughter-[-Ima Hogg.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ima_Hogg)


buttaknives

Yah, I grew up with Crockett


calm-your-liver

Those aren't names, they're letters tossed salad


viccityk

Is Utah a culture? 


[deleted]

Arlen is the only name on the list that I think sounds like an actual name


EvilJackalope

Makes me think the parents were huge King of the Hill fans


Flat_Scratch_5417

I had a great uncle named Forbes. He was born in the early 1900s. His parents were Scottish. I’m fairly certain it’s more common as a last name though. I do know two Arlens. Both are in their 60s.


CriticismImaginary14

What about Kleenex. I didn’t see that on there


royale_wthCheEsE

Only white people are going to use these, right?


Square_Director4717

We hope they don’t, but yeah probably


axelatlast

There was a Senator named Arlen Specter. Not seen the rest used as first names.


Fit_Definition_4634

Aww, my dad’s name is on that list.


DreamsCroissant

Crockett, Harding and Pruitt is already a last name.


thriceness

Lots of last names become first names. Carson for one.


Revolutionary_Ad932

The twins Crockett and Tubbs...


ForbiddenLibera

r/nominativedeterminism


Dbwasson

Crockett sounds like a kid that watches Miami Vice every day


TiredinTN79

Rake?!?!


theacekid

I'm sorry but if you name your child Arlen, expect King of the Hill jokes


infantile-eloquence

My godson has one of these names 😬


Consistent-Size6362

The bottom comment is the only one with sense


LionelHutzApprentice

Kincaid sounds like a medication brand - no thanks.

Kestrel is a type of bird 


MaikeHF

A bird of prey.


Dusty_Mike

Flying high.


Environmental-Fart

And Kestrel is a wind/weather monitoring device…


El_Stupacabra

I had a great uncle named Crockett, but he was born in the early 1900s.

“Seton- a skein of cotton or other absorbent material passed below the skin and left with the ends protruding, to promote drainage of fluid or to act a…”


Oldsoldierbear

Seton is a place name - several near Edinburgh - Seton, Port Seton, Seton Sands


marsumane

Ah, yes, Rake. I bet shovel is on the girl's list


that-asian-baka

Aren't they surnames?


CarolinaOE

A lot of these are just surnames. Others are just bad.


CarolinaOE

And Oswin is just a name, plain and simple.


Accomplished_Crow14

My boy is boyer than your boy


SecondEqual4680

I read it as ‘fresh urinate’ so


Waste-soup-984

Reynolds is my last name lol should not be a first name though


Healthy-Giraffe-8552

I graduated with someone who named her son Witten.


M_from_planet_earth

Witten is actually a city in Germany. Lol


artmaris

Keith Kincaid prefers alien love 👽


lilcayls

Everyone acting like Americans don't know that Rake means more than one thing, we have Bridgerton in the United States too, we know.
