McKarty always stood out to me as the cruelest name on that list.

Grape Juice Vampire posted:McKarty always stood out to me as the cruelest name on that list. All these "Mc" names are tied with the "-aiden" names for the most awful. I know so many McKennas, McKaylas and McKenzies. What's worse is when it gets unique'd up even more like McKharleigh or something. It's like the parents are too special to just use the letter "a", but not willing to commit to an apostrophe. Plus the "Mc" instantly screams "Last Name". I'm a guy with a last name for a first name, so I know first hand how fun that is. I'm thankful every day it's not a misspelled abomination though.

"Nayvie" is my favorite on that list. I can't decide whether it would be worse or better if the kid's parents had no connection to the Navy whatsoever. "We're naming her Nayvie after Daddy's, like, job! But like WAY cuter spelling."

I picture it having to do with the color. First, long ago, there was Violet. Recently there's been Indigo. I think they're just working through the rainbow. I'll name my kid Infrared so we can all be done with it.

Wayne owns. Also, there's a lady nearby that just turned 100. Her name is Leathel Archer. She celebrated with a couple of cold ones at the nursing home. She owns too.

Kaizoku posted:28 one-sentence-or-less posts in 2 years? Okay, he is very funny and the best and his contribution to this thread has actually been TOO small. Whatever you want, man. To actually post on topic: The Random Consonant-ayden naming trend has hit South Korea. Yesterday I met three kids whose English names were Jayden, Hayden, and Zaydan (pronounced like "Zayden" but with that spelling.) And on that note, one of my students chose the "English name" of Predic. I stared at it for a good long while before I realized his mom was trying to say "Frederick."

I don't think it's fair to lump Hayden in with those two, that's a legit name. I know plenty of Haydens.

There was a woman in the paper a few days ago complaining that a school had acted unfairly by asking her to cover her tattoos while working there at as a teaching assistant. One of her children was called RayGan, complete with the random capitalisation. RayGan was a four year old girl.

I recently started working as a substitute teacher in my hometown and good lord there are some children with just awful names. Some favorites include: Cleopatra and Nefertitti (sisters) Demilynn Zuleyle Jezikah Blizz (Jessica Bliss) and every -aden known to man. But my absolute favorite is a very tiny 6th grade boy named Mega Win, pronounced Meegah.

There is a guy from India who I occasionally exchange e-mails with whose name is "A. Wankhede", because of Indian naming convention Wankhede is his given name. Perfectly normal name for where he's from but rather unfortunate when dealing with Westerners. On at least one occasion he's had a travel booking cancelled by a hotel because they didn't believe the name.

Jayden is pretty loving awful, too, but I think my opinion has been colored by the way that I've never met a child with one of the -ayden names that wasnt a little poo poo. If they remade the Omen today, the kid would be named Brayden and I would be all "that is a perfect name for the antichrist, I agree".

New born kid of a former coworker. Chimera.  I really wanted to ask if the kid was so hideous at birth that naming her after a monster was appropriate. And if so, why not Hydra, Cerebrus or Cyclops? Edit: I forgot Gorgon and Medusa. Mr. Welfare has a new favorite as of 18:49 on Nov 7, 2014 |
