Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name.

I thought it was the alternative spelling of 'murica
Patches@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
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.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 years ago
That’s a bullying problem bro not a name problem.
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
Forwarding emails to the correct address is a bullying problem?
Etterra@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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.
Huschke@programming.dev 2 years ago
“Nayeli Pixie” is definitely a misspelled stripper name though.
Etterra@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Dusti Rose is a striper name.
frostmore@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Leviathan seems to stand out.
i cannot imagine the jokes and innuendos that’s gonna be made on the kid due to the name.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 years ago
If his surname is Cox, it’s a great name for a male pornstar.
daellat@lemmy.world 2 years ago
And could have just been Levi
AquaTofana@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Rocklyn sounds too much like Brooklyn (which some people also name their kids unfortunately) and Brexley sounds like Brexit.
Cheesus@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Rocklin is also a popular neighborhood in Oakland
kinkles@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
What’s wrong with the name Brooklyn?
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Oof were making fun of you. Sorry.
AquaTofana@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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 2 years 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.
drew_belloc@programming.dev 2 years ago
Well at least now i have a good amount of names to use in a TTRPG campain
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 years ago
I’m guessing that Brexleigh’s parents are British and get their news from tabloid newspapers.
psmgx@lemmy.world 2 years ago
So how many of these people are Mormon?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
How many of these? No idea. How many in general? 100% too many.
gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 2 years ago
Honestly I find most of them pretty cool.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You’re allowed to have an incorrect opinion.
Raxiel@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Mötleys parents called the elder brother Richard
Rakonat@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I work in youth therapy. These are exactly the kind of names I regularly see on admit forms. Not saying it’s a direct cause, but theres a lot of coincidences when looking at youth therapy cases as a whole.
Oiconomia@feddit.de 2 years ago
I’m going to give you the only name you spelled right on this list! Max Power
Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I mean, that’s also how now commonly accepted names come into being in the first place.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 years 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?
Gabu@lemmy.world 2 years 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.

Muttley, you snickering, floppy-eared hound!
When courage is needed, you’re never around!
Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest
Should be there for bungling, at which you are best.
Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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”.
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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).
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 years ago
Hudson-Adonis seems pretty cool. It also isn’t spelled retarded.
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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
Evrala@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I know of an Adonis. Skinny gay kid that was really into gymnastics and choir.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
How is Deegan weird? It is an old Irish surname, and it is even spelled correctly.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
O’Shaughnessy is also an old Irish surname. Do you think it would make a good first name?
Assman@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
Textbook strawman lol
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
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”.
queezywheezy@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I know loads of Deegan families, but it would be a strange choice of first name…
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
They’re only stupid because you’re not used to them.
TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Found Raddix Zephyr
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
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.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Such as?
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
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.
NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 years ago
I see there are people who think they are on a character creation screen while others just don’t think at all.
clubb@lemmy.world 2 years ago
White while, hol grail
CptEnder@lemmy.world 2 years ago
A dry dick?
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
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.

tf is so bad about Dusti Rose?
NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 years ago
Isn’t it supposed to be Dusty?
nifty@lemmy.world 2 years ago
All these names are awesome, I don’t know what they’re on about
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
ah yes, love naming my kid after the commonly memed homophone of murica.
nifty@lemmy.world 2 years ago
lol why not? Is it any better than London or Lisbon?

All a bit rich coming from someone named 'Henny ’
sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
Considering her name being Henny Gesserit she just might be Wolfgang Atreides’ older sister…
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Maybe she’s a chicken.

CannedTuna@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
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.
thorbot@lemmy.world 2 years ago
That’s 100% not her name
