Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name.

I thought it was the alternative spelling of 'murica

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 7 months ago
That’s a bullying problem bro not a name problem.
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
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.
Etterra@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Dusti Rose is a striper name.
frostmore@lemmy.world 7 months 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 7 months ago
If his surname is Cox, it’s a great name for a male pornstar.
daellat@lemmy.world 7 months ago
And could have just been Levi
AquaTofana@lemmy.world 7 months 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 7 months ago
Rocklyn sounds too much like Brooklyn (which some people also name their kids unfortunately) and Brexley sounds like Brexit.
Cheesus@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Rocklin is also a popular neighborhood in Oakland
kinkles@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
What’s wrong with the name Brooklyn?
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Oof were making fun of you. Sorry.
AquaTofana@lemmy.world 7 months 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 7 months 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 7 months ago
Well at least now i have a good amount of names to use in a TTRPG campain
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 7 months ago
I’m guessing that Brexleigh’s parents are British and get their news from tabloid newspapers.
psmgx@lemmy.world 7 months ago
So how many of these people are Mormon?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
How many of these? No idea. How many in general? 100% too many.
gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 7 months ago
Honestly I find most of them pretty cool.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You’re allowed to have an incorrect opinion.
Raxiel@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Mötleys parents called the elder brother Richard
Rakonat@lemmy.world 7 months 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 7 months ago
I’m going to give you the only name you spelled right on this list! Max Power
Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I mean, that’s also how now commonly accepted names come into being in the first place.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 7 months 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 7 months 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!

Should be there for bungling, at which you are best.
Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 7 months 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 7 months 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 7 months ago
Hudson-Adonis seems pretty cool. It also isn’t spelled retarded.
AA5B@lemmy.world 7 months 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 7 months ago
I know of an Adonis. Skinny gay kid that was really into gymnastics and choir.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
How is Deegan weird? It is an old Irish surname, and it is even spelled correctly.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
O’Shaughnessy is also an old Irish surname. Do you think it would make a good first name?
Assman@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Textbook strawman lol
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 months 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 7 months ago
I know loads of Deegan families, but it would be a strange choice of first name…
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
They’re only stupid because you’re not used to them.
TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Found Raddix Zephyr
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 7 months 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 7 months ago
Such as?
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 7 months 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.

I see there are people who think they are on a character creation screen while others just don’t think at all.

White while, hol grail
CptEnder@lemmy.world 7 months ago
A dry dick?
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 7 months 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.

KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
ah yes, love naming my kid after the commonly memed homophone of murica.

All a bit rich coming from someone named 'Henny ’
sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Considering her name being Henny Gesserit she just might be Wolfgang Atreides’ older sister…
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Maybe she’s a chicken.

CannedTuna@sh.itjust.works 7 months 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 7 months ago
That’s 100% not her name
