So guy is filling out application for his daughter's birth certificate. "Trynity". Woman (sister? girlfriend?) leaning over his shoulder says, "You spelled 'trinity' wrong." Guy: "No, that's how you spell it!" Girl: "Then why is it 'tri-city area'?" Guy: "gently caress."

And the best part is that Trinity is a terrible name no matter how it's spelled.

I knew an Australian woman named Storm, and finding out Tim Minchin is Australian really made me wonder. They're about the same age.

A girl I know has kids named Triscety and Whylee. I feel like most people are only concerned with their kids having "totes adorbs" names, and don't ever consider there will be grown adults walking around with these horrid names.

Triscety should have been named Whendy.


I agree though. They hone in on baby/toddler cuteness (think of the selfies we'll take!!) and don't think about their kid when it reaches the delightful middle school years, or is trying to command authority as an adult with a job.

I prefer the freakish names more than the "normal name spelled or pronounced horrifically for 'uniqueness'". Don't make your kids go through their whole life telling everyone they meet that, " it's spelled M-e-s-h-e-l-l" or that, yes, it's spelled Deborah but it's pronounced Deb-OR-ah.

I probably mentioned this before but I met a little girl named Maile.

Even at the age of 6 or 7 you already got the sense she was exhausted about having to correct every new person she met. :(

Twin 1 is named Oswald Manley James

It's unique!

I work in local media and I get to see rosters and sports winners and honor rolls quite regularly. One event over the summer featured a boy named Cayman. Another event featured someone named Jessica Hahn.

For really real. Pretty sure it's after the writer C.S. Lewis, Staples was his middle name. 'Atticus Staples James ' sounds like a sentence rather than a name
