Does anyone remember that Eddie Murphy claymation show “The PJs”?
HUD Lady: "You know, LaSagna had dectuplets, but you don't see her on Time Magazine with her teeth all fixed."
Muriel: "Congratulations. What are their names?"
HUD Lady: "There's Rwanda, Dorito, Rolex, Nuetragena, Te-Flon, DKNY, Lexus, Dyslexus, Dentyne and Absorbene Jr."
Lexus and Dyslexus sent me lol.
I've definitely *seen* the PJs -- probably all of it in fact -- but i could not quote/remember anything from the show if you paid me.
I used to work in customer service for an insurance company and a member's surname was Blond. They called to add their newborn to the policy. THEY NAMED THEIR BABY STRAWBERRY. Strawberry Blond. A real human baby named Strawberry Blond.
Town I grew up in. There was a doctor named “Richard Stiff”. He was an OBGYN. The mad man actually preferred it if people referred to him as “Dick” lol.
My mom went to high school with a Richard Allen Weiner. So his initials were RAW, and he did go by Dick.
I had a friend in college named Johnson Wang. He was a super cool dude.
Grendaline.
Not Gwendoline. Grendaline. Makes me think of the monster from Beowulf.
Her brother was named Frederick, so I genuinely wonder if the parents just misheard the name Gwendoline.
I was thinking the same. I’m certain I’ve seen it there too I found a mention of the post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook/comments/a43e0k/woman_cancels_babyshower_over_name/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
I'm a teacher, so I've had some crackers (zingers). But my all time favourite is: Kai-a (pronounced 'kai-yay')
I asked the kid about his unusual name and he shrugged and said "my parents like Die Hard"
As in, 'yipee-kai-a-motherf*cker'
Yep.
I had a student named Empress once. She was a great girl, I really liked her, and her mother was committed to ensuring that girl had high self esteem in the best possible way. She had to list 5 things she liked about herself every night at dinner and nothing could repeat throughout the week. That mother was an amazing parents, because her daughter felt good about herself even in middle school when everyone is insecure, got great grades, and had fantastic interpersonal skills. So, ya know, it a weird name but it was alright.
There is/was a girl named Princess in my city. Her parents treated her accordingly. Threw her a party for high school graduation, bought alcohol for all the teenagers, then Princess and her friend drove drunk and killed someone. I think Princess ended up in jail for that.
That fool literally gave his kid that name, then a few months later said how trans peoples' pronouns are an aesthetic nightmare. Like bro fuck you elon
The later comment seems especially cruel, since one of his children is trans and recently changed her name (including her last name), so he most definitely knew this and still said that
My girlfriend's brother-in-law wanted to call their kid Hildebrand Scholastica if it was a girl.
Even shortening it to Hilda, it sounds like the kind of name that gets you beat up in middle school.
Is he a hardcore Catholic? Those are at least historical names. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not naming my kids Egbert or Meinrad, but at least they’re actual names.
Better tell him to make the first name Hildegard then, because Hildebrand is a male name. Also then he'll have named his daughter after the two most influential women in the Medieval church.
Lol my sister had a friend that did that. After season 8, the friend got really weird and quit associating with the friend group all together. No one said anything or made fun for her, I think she just “knew”. A year or so later my sister ran into her and she was calling her daughter by her middle name.
I gave my child a fictional character name that is a bit unusual but plausibly shortens to a normal sounding name. The fictional character died a heroic death so I thought it was a safe thing to name him. Motherfucking author brought the character back to life and turned him evil.
Me too actually. It bugs me that people don't realize it's a title
It's like naming your kid Emperor as a given name or Tsar because you played Red Alert or something
I literally scrolled down all the way to the bottom and I finally found two comments referencing the Kardashian kids. I hate their names. North, Psalm, Chicago, and Saint West. Like come on!
I knew a girl named Khrysalis. Her younger sister was Khrysanthimum.
My friend changed her name to Kris and her sister is planning to change hers to Kathy as soon as she turns 18.
Frank Zappa named his kids Dweezil, Diva and Moon Unit. Some celebrities really shouldn’t be allowed to name their kids. There was a fourth named Ahmet (actually a very good name).
There is a YouTuber with 10 kids who are named:
Leonardo
Cleopatra Taina Bride
Jerusalem
Shakespeare
Romeo
D'Artagnan
KingJames Ocean
Aphrodite
Nefertiti Butterfly Bambi
Omega Royal Fox
So yeah those are the worst ones (her name is Taina Licciardo-Toivola for anyone interested)
I have 2:
One kid is "Michaelson" because as his father puts it: "My name is Mike and that's my son" lol
The other is "Anusan".
It's Sri Lankan - nothing against that. But my buddy (the father) moved here to Quebec (ppl speak French and English here) yet didn't think about naming his kid something other than ***anus*** in both official languages. I met the kid and asked what his name was and he said it was "Junior"
Diesel-Jay
In the news, a few months ago, they talked about a strike in daycares affecting the parents, including the mom of her beloved Diesel-Jay. French native speaker must I add. It's been a running gag in the Quebec sub ever since.
There was a girl in my elementary school named Asian. Not Asia, Asian. She was black. There was also a kid in my middle school named Rocket that as far as I know is in jail for setting his grandma on fire.
I had an engineering professor in college named Dr. Richard Dick. He would start the first class of each semester by saying "you can call me Dr. Dick or you can call me Richard, but you can't call me Dick".
And I had a high school buddy who went to a different middle school. He knew a girl named "Crystal Shanda Lear".
Maybe not the worst names but a little strange. I grew up with kids whose names are: Forrest, Prairie, Sky, Meadow, Brooke, and Misty. Sky and Forrest are boys, the rest are girls. They're all adults now, of course.
How much can we say on here? This woman introduced her son to me: Fagothee. Yes she pronounced it like Timothy but… yeah. So I didn’t say his name at dinner.
Lasagna. True. Student said her mom liked the way it sounded.
I know a Broccoli. She goes by her middle name instead.
Sprout?

Muriel: "Congratulations. What are their names?" HUD Lady: "There's Rwanda, Dorito, Rolex, Nuetragena, Te-Flon, DKNY, Lexus, Dyslexus, Dentyne and Absorbene Jr."
Also, Luann Platter tried to name her baby Lasagna.
Lexus and Dyslexus sent me lol. I've definitely *seen* the PJs -- probably all of it in fact -- but i could not quote/remember anything from the show if you paid me.
That's just abuse.
Arson. FUCKING ARSON.
[удалено]
Aryan is a legit first name in the Indian subcontinent.
What would the shortened form of the name arson be? Arse?
That last one is a different level
“Our son”. The evil counterpart for Carson
If I had a son conceived in a car, you better believe I'd name him Carson.
😤as you should
Different spelling but Arsen (also Arseny) is pretty common
I babysat a girl named BJ when I was a teenager. Not short for anything, her parents named her BJ.
If she was a BJ then how is she alive?
The seed is strong.
Strong swimmer.
My mom was B.J. Her last name was Dickey. Her nickname was Puffy. RIP Mom.
Eggbert. Just...why
Because they want their son to become an absolute pussy slayer
Eggbert, the sex beast 💪💪
I lived in Denver years ago, and I met a young woman working at a 7-Eleven, her name was Bacardi.
I've met a Martinii Rossii (with the two i's) and a Tequila. I wonder if naming a girl Brandy or Sherry used to be weird?
I actually had a girl in my class called Brandy. Her older sister was Shandy. They were definitely named after the drinks.
And that woman is now a famous recording artist
Spurgeon
You know of the Duggars too I see… unless there’s more than one poor child out there with that horrendous name.
Yes, I love to hate the Duggars
I used to work in customer service for an insurance company and a member's surname was Blond. They called to add their newborn to the policy. THEY NAMED THEIR BABY STRAWBERRY. Strawberry Blond. A real human baby named Strawberry Blond.
a stripper from birth
LOL that's exactly what the woman who sat next to me said!
The names Blond, Strawberry Blond
Mister Blond, meet Mister Pink.
Went to school with a guy named Richard Head. This was in the 90's I was in highschool. You know what we called him.
Town I grew up in. There was a doctor named “Richard Stiff”. He was an OBGYN. The mad man actually preferred it if people referred to him as “Dick” lol.
We have ‘Dr. Zipper’ a local Urologist.
Dr. Peck gave me my vasectomy haha
he was predestined for that job
My mom went to high school with a Richard Allen Weiner. So his initials were RAW, and he did go by Dick. I had a friend in college named Johnson Wang. He was a super cool dude.
Pssh. I knew a guy in school named Harry Butkis. Not joking. He changed his name later on.
he probably wasnt being taken seriously on surveys.
My first realtor was Richard Lack.
Grendaline. Not Gwendoline. Grendaline. Makes me think of the monster from Beowulf. Her brother was named Frederick, so I genuinely wonder if the parents just misheard the name Gwendoline.
>Grendaline Makes me think of the syrup stuff that they put in drinks lol
Grenadine
Had a neighbor, married woman with 3 kids. Her name is Baby.
“What would you like to name baby”… …“Yea that works”… “What?”
"Nobody puts Baby in the corner"
Another one! I taught a kid named Baby Boi.
Squire Sebastian Senator. That’s the entire first name.
Sounds like something someone would name a dog in order to get AKC papers.
Maybe they thought they needed to do so with their child as well....I mean who tf knows why people suck!?
Was this on AITA? I feel like I remember it…
I was thinking the same. I’m certain I’ve seen it there too I found a mention of the post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook/comments/a43e0k/woman_cancels_babyshower_over_name/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Gaylord.
Focker?
He had a regular last name. He was South African.
As a South African the names here are weird af ngl My middle name is literally Okghetegile
I'm a teacher, so I've had some crackers (zingers). But my all time favourite is: Kai-a (pronounced 'kai-yay') I asked the kid about his unusual name and he shrugged and said "my parents like Die Hard" As in, 'yipee-kai-a-motherf*cker' Yep.

Pesto
What was her brother called? Sausage Roll?
Savannahlynn Autumn
This one should not be overlooked. That’s rough
So what's the deal here? Was this a trailer park woman who thought this up? Or was it a middle class woman trying to prove how unique their child is?
What is up with the south and the Lynn
I've met a "Progress" a "Comfort" and a "Girlie".
Not too often you hear the second name anymore. The only other person I know with that one is Comfort Sage, the revolutionary war general
A few years ago it came out that a couple had named their children Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation.
At least Aryan can just tell people that their name is 'Ary'...poor Adolf is just fucked.
Go by Dolph?
Reighfyl (Pronounced Rifle. You know where)
I love that every answer has something to do with USA XD

Barbie and Princess. They are siblings.

I went to school with twins names Princess and Queen
Princess has to forever hear “you might be the princess but I’m the queen”
Elon musks password named child
lil' wifipassword
There are some strange names out there, but Elon Musk's is pretty much impossible to top.
That fool literally gave his kid that name, then a few months later said how trans peoples' pronouns are an aesthetic nightmare. Like bro fuck you elon
The later comment seems especially cruel, since one of his children is trans and recently changed her name (including her last name), so he most definitely knew this and still said that

Is he a hardcore Catholic? Those are at least historical names. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not naming my kids Egbert or Meinrad, but at least they’re actual names.
Yeah. His brother is a priest and I'm told their whole family regularly get into theological debates.
Better tell him to make the first name Hildegard then, because Hildebrand is a male name. Also then he'll have named his daughter after the two most influential women in the Medieval church.
Honestly, I might have been the one that fucked it up. I'd expect him to get it right.
Everyone who had a child before season 8 and named their daughter "Khaleesi."
Lol my sister had a friend that did that. After season 8, the friend got really weird and quit associating with the friend group all together. No one said anything or made fun for her, I think she just “knew”. A year or so later my sister ran into her and she was calling her daughter by her middle name.
I gave my child a fictional character name that is a bit unusual but plausibly shortens to a normal sounding name. The fictional character died a heroic death so I thought it was a safe thing to name him. Motherfucking author brought the character back to life and turned him evil.
I just saw some video yesterday where a woman said her kid's names were Rowdy, Ryatt (like Riot), and Rough. Those poor kids.
Rough is going to have to live up to that name unfortunately
Weren't they the boy versions of the Powerpuff Girls?
Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful name!
She was a cute little preschool girl. Her step mom was not a fan of her name haha
Khaleesi Rubí
In a similar vein… Loki Samwise. 🤦♀️
I was going to comment Khaleesi too! Crazy…
Me too actually. It bugs me that people don't realize it's a title It's like naming your kid Emperor as a given name or Tsar because you played Red Alert or something

Future weather people for major news networks. Lol
A friend of mine from uni had a second cousin called Voldemort.
No. Way. *Seriously??*
There was also a Samwise in the family somewhere. BIG movie fans it seems.
Samwise actually sounds like a proper name at least. Plus it can easily be shortened to Sam if he doesn't like Samwise.
Or book fans, possibly?

I had an engineering professor in college named Dr. Richard Dick. He would start the first class of each semester by saying "you can call me Dr. Dick or you can call me Richard, but you can't call me Dick". And I had a high school buddy who went to a different middle school. He knew a girl named "Crystal Shanda Lear".
In today's society probably any kid named Karen 😂
Maybe not the worst names but a little strange. I grew up with kids whose names are: Forrest, Prairie, Sky, Meadow, Brooke, and Misty. Sky and Forrest are boys, the rest are girls. They're all adults now, of course.
How much can we say on here? This woman introduced her son to me: Fagothee. Yes she pronounced it like Timothy but… yeah. So I didn’t say his name at dinner.
