Istari posted:I have absolutely no idea how to even pronounce Lakynn. My first response is to pronounce it lack-in. But that sounds exactly like lackin' and no parent would be that cruel or stupid. Lake-in is pretty accurate. I have the normal version of that name (Laken, which is also a pretty dumb name, but I didn't choose it). If people have trouble with it I just tell them to pronounce it so it rhymes with bacon, which is close enough.

There's a girl that lives upstairs from me called Trishanthaa, who to her credit goes by Turtle so nobody has to spell that abomination.

sweeperbravo posted:I misunderstood what you were asking and dug up this gem before realizing it wasn't what you meant, but here it is anyway If you're going to give your kid a dumb name, make sure it's so completely balls-out insane that it's kind of awesome, like Dweezil or Moon Unit. I whole-heartedly support naming your kids something insane if you yourself are legitimately insane, but I can't stand white people who think they're unique by throwing a bunch of y's into a made-up name. Actual content: a girl at my job took a group of boy scouts on a tour, and as a thank you they made her this cute card that they all signed. Most of the names were normal: Justin, Tyler, Matthew (though I think there was at least one Jaden), but one of the names appeared to be "Cosidae." I stood there staring at the card for several minutes trying to figure out if the kid couldn't spell his own name, or if that was the actual name his parents gave him.

I worked with a girl named Chyna. She was a tiny blonde haired blue eyed girl. She was also 16 and smoked a ton of weed and so did her parents.

Chyna the pro wrestler debuted in 1997. What year was this girl born? Also, stuff.   I believe that I have now posted every weird name found on the internet. So I'll move onto unfortunately co-named couples getting married.

I support this trend of getting closer and closer to weird "Did I read about this dude killing a Roman Emperor or something?" sorta sounding names. Better than too many Ys. "Curse you Adrianandious! Give me back my legions!"

The African-American community should keep up with this trend. Unlike whites who take last names or what were originally WASP-y first names and then bastardize the spelling, blacks just flat-out make up their own poo poo. But the boys' names always sound a ton better if you add "us" to the end of it, making it seem like the kid was a Roman general we've never heard of. Bertrand Hustle posted:I think Say Nothing's angle is that she's named after Chyna, not that she is Chyna, seeing as the wrestler's real name is Joanie Laurer. There was also the singer/actress/John Phillips' daughter, Chynna Phillips. Spelled a little differently, but pronounced the same. Count Freebasie has a new favorite as of 12:57 on Aug 1, 2014 |

Honestly, the names that seem totally made up are much more pleasant to me than the names that are existing names/surnames run through a WAKKY-SPELLING filter. Of course sometimes you get a name that somehow falls into both categories, at which point whether I'm mad at the parents or not depends on the immediate pronouncability of the name.

I'm not sure about pleasant, but certainly more creative and entertaining. Most likely inspired by our Dark Lord, Satan. (12)

Frankly, stereotypical "black people names" succeed the most at doing what names are supposed to be for, i.e. specifying an individual. Oprah. Beyonce. Kanye. Shaquille. Instantly, immediately recognizable. Who are Jimmy, Ronald, George, Bill, and George? (hint: you can figure it out, but it might take a minute or two.)

It's a good point but that does not stop "my child is unique!!" names from sounding loving stupid to pronounce out loud. If your name is an ancient puzzle or spell incantation and I have to unravel it syllable by syllable to pronounce it, your parents are assholes and you should be mad at them.

You've got a point, but on the other hand, there are definitely 'white guy' names that fit that criterion too. Millard, Ulysses, and Rutherford, to name a few.
