    All a bit rich coming from someone named 'Henny ’

    source
    • sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Considering her name being Henny Gesserit she just might be Wolfgang Atreides’ older sister…

      Maybe she’s a chicken.

      Probably short for something like Henrietta, tho based on her handle she may go by Didi and there’s no telling what that’s shortened from.

    A lot of these people grew up being called “The Black Kim” or “The Fat Jesse” because there are only so many standard names.

    I mean I am one of 15 people in my company with the same first name, and 3 of which have the same first name, last name. I spent easily an hour per pay period forwarding emails to the correct parties.

    I get the concept but it’s a bit too far.

      That’s a bullying problem bro not a name problem.

        Forwarding emails to the correct address is a bullying problem?

      My name is David. Do you know how common that name is? At one point in my life I knew and regularly interacted with 8 other Davids. That’s not even close to how many I’ve known over the years. That’s what happens when you have a name that’s been popular for like 3000 years. Biblical names are the usual Western example. My friend Mike - no the other Mike - no the other other Mike - agrees.

    “Nayeli Pixie” is definitely a misspelled stripper name though.

      Dusti Rose is a striper name.

    Leviathan seems to stand out.

    i cannot imagine the jokes and innuendos that’s gonna be made on the kid due to the name.

      If his surname is Cox, it’s a great name for a male pornstar.

    Ngl, I find some of these Hella cute. But I’m also someone who loves creative/unique names (to a point). I don’t like offensive/obvious sponsorship/stupid joke names (the infamous “Ladasha” spelled “La-A” or “Absidy” spelled “ABCDE”)

    But I think Rocklyn and Brexleigh are adorable names for little girls! I’d probably spell it Brexley though.

    Then again, when I was growing up I liked the name "Huxley’ as a gender-neutral name for a future child, so, do with that what you will

    source
    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Rocklyn sounds too much like Brooklyn (which some people also name their kids unfortunately) and Brexley sounds like Brexit.

      source
      • Cheesus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Rocklin is also a popular neighborhood in Oakland

      • kinkles@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        What’s wrong with the name Brooklyn?

        Haha bruh that’s aight. I’m actually a treasure trove of traits to make fun of!

        Fortunately I’m child-free so no human ever has to bear the weight of my creative naming conventions…only my D&D/RP/Video Game characters have to suffer.

    • KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      ok so uh, how the fuck do you pronounce the one with the X though? breckslee, or braelee.

      Rocklyn is in a similar vein imo. Although in that case, they’re both concoctions of what are individually bad names. Brayden, and haley. Rebecca, and whatever the fuck else terrible name you wanna pick.

    Well at least now i have a good amount of names to use in a TTRPG campain

    I’m guessing that Brexleigh’s parents are British and get their news from tabloid newspapers.

    So how many of these people are Mormon?

    I mean, that’s also how now commonly accepted names come into being in the first place.

    • dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s it? I mean Peter is just “rock”. Arent ment basic names just objects or existing words turned human label?

      Alternatively, heavy names like theodrick get shortened or adapted to Theodore, derrick, and so on, but that’s by nickname more than “cleverly” changing spelling.

      Can you name a really common name that is a unique spelling of a name that has fallen out of style?

      source
      • Gabu@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Arent ment basic names just objects or existing words turned human label?

        With a few exceptions, like names of mythical gods - Gabriel (Gabri-El), Michael (Mika-El), Jesus, etc. I was going to list a few Norse god names as well, then realised they’re also just regular words - Baldr (courage), Vili (will), etc.

    I thought “Raddix Zephyr” Might’ve been inspired by the sorting algorithm, but that’s not the name of its creator nor the algorythm, which is actually spelled “Radix”.

      Your kid ain’t a horse! It’s not gonna neigh!

      And this, kind people of Lemmy, is why these names are bully-bait. Grade-schoolers are gonna figure that one out in the first week, and these kids are gonna go home in tears. Doubly so if the teacher is an idiot, and points out the odd spelling while taking attendance (the kids probably wouldn’t know otherwise).

    Hudson-Adonis seems pretty cool. It also isn’t spelled retarded.

      Hudson is pretty cool

      Adonis is a loaded name destining the kid for bullying and therapy, unless he really is God’s gift to women

      O’Shaughnessy is also an old Irish surname. Do you think it would make a good first name?

        If it was the first time being used then it would be strange, but Deegan is a boy’s name with a long history. It means “dark haired”.

        Lol honestly I wouldn’t even mind. Where I grew up, that’d be a pretty cool name as a kid. Maybe not as an adult, but most adults I know can keep that shit to themselves.

      Such as?

        I mean, hippie culture used names like “summer” and “rain” which are bonkers but we got used to it.

        I watched an interview with someone who was named after a car part and they said it was fairly common, but I can’t find that interview to figure out what country it was anymore.

        Old names that span cultures often have wildly different spellings, or pronunciations that don’t seem to make sense in English (like pretty much any Celtic name). It’s one thing to appropriate that culture, it’s another thing to say that names taken or derived from that culture are stupid. People move. People have parents or grandparents from other places. I don’t think it’s reasonable to say the name is bad just because it’s spelled unusually or is something that isn’t typically a name where we live.

    God y’all have no chill.

    I’d totally get it if you were complaining about terrible misappropriation of foreign cultures… But you’re all complaining about the name itself and the spelling. God forbid someone move from a place where that pronunciation is fine, or they want to pay homage to their Welsh grandparent or something. FFS take a look in the mirror, and think about the etymology of your own name.
