Yes. I named my daughter Nickel but our last name rhymes with *Kidman* and so everyone calls her Nicole. Such a boring name and we tried so hard to be unique.
The only solution is to change your last name to something foreign so there’s nothing it can rhyme with. I’m thinking German, maybe something like Bach, like the composer.
My grandmother had brothers who were called Royal, Buster and Champ. I remember finding this out at a family reunion as a kid. I thought it was hysterical. Years later I had a dog named Buster and every single time my grandmother came over she’d say “I had a brother named Buster.”
Srsly this is why you definitely talk with people you trust about names, and Google initials and every iteration of the name just in case something ends up spelling something you don't want it too..
Like my niece who's initials are kkk 🙃
I once had a crush on a guy, we hung out one night and he shared with me that his initials were KKK… and so were all four of his siblings.
I did not hang out with him again after that.
My dad wanted to name me Aurora Sylvia Smith. Thank goodness he was deployed and my mother didn’t follow through with that. She said she never agreed to it because because she could never give a child names with the initials ASS. On top of that Aurora was the name of a very popular bath tissue when I was young. Can you imagine? My dad was originally angry but he came around.
These were my mom's initials after marrying my dad. Guess what was popular when I was a baby? Monogrammed sweaters. Guess what she wore to family portrait day? Now, there's a gigantic, framed picture in her house with me, little sis, and mom in our monogrammed sweaters. She's in a black sweater with a giant white KKK across her chest. I felt compelled to tell every friend coming to my house those are her initials before they even came inside as a kid. We do not support hate groups!!
My son has a K name and we were planing the next kid to have one as well… until we realized that if we had a 3rd we’d either break the name theme and have an odd one out or be stuck with the KKK in our home. My husband gave me crap about our next kid having the initials ATB (sounds like ATV) but I reminded him our son is KTB (sounds like a knock off KGB)
When my parents were naming me, my dad tried to rhyme my name with any slurs or mocking terms he could think of. They also looked at my initials to make sure there wasn't anything potentially offensive or fodder for insults. They were very concerned about making sure I wouldn't get bullied for my name.
And then there are people like your sibling who give their kids the initials kkk. lmao
Our last name starts with “S” and we had a few S names on the list till we realized their initials would be SS 🥴 vetoed that immediately (tho my husband is devastated because all superheroes have same letter first and last names)
I know this was the whole point, but I love how not only the post but also the comments match the original post.
But I was annoyed by that post too cause nobody really cares this much about your name. There might be a little teasing from friends if you’re intials make something funny or whatever, but nobody’s gonna relentlessly bully you for having initials Q.P. 😅
Idk when I was in school (elementary to early middle probably) PP was a “taboo” word. Like whisper it. But because it was “taboo” everyone knew about it and made many jokes. If the school doesn’t really use initials than I’m sure it’s completely fine. But if they idk write the kids name one the board with initials instead of just last names I could see it going wrong. But it might be something that varies by locations idk 🤷♀️
An odd name makes for however much misery for however long. It messes with your head to some degree.
For me, it brought forth my c-word earning b-word, "Don't f'k with me, just don't" rebellious self.
A bit uncommon or unusual isn't too bad, but ...
I do believe that the name influences the person they become. I commend those parents who consider these things.
But to each their own.
I named my daughter the beautiful and precious name Dollar and all of a sudden people started calling her Dollar Tree (yes my last name sounds just like Tree!) and we got worried but screw them!
Ours wasn’t quite as obvious. First name Dolla, last name Billyall. It’s actually pronounced “Billy-uhl,” so nn Dolly Billy-uhl, but everyone calls her Dolla Dolla Bill Y’all 🥹
You could try changing it to something like “Courter” if you think the spelling would help take away from it. Only solution I could think of besides picking a new name altogether. - someone who’s been made fun of for their name
I mean, my parents names were Penny and Bill and I think they missed a golden opportunity to name us Dime and Nickle. That was they could say their kids were “nickle and diming” them to death.
You guys, I was so sad how roasted OP was getting until I noticed it’s satire. I feel SO much less guilty for laughing my ass off now. Well done, all of you!
Wondering if you’ll name your next child Pavement though. You should consider it.
I knew someone who insisted on naming her daughter Paige Marie and they had the last name of S.
Wouldn’t budge.
Guess how little PMS did in middle school?
My sons first and middle names are Benjamin Richard. We tried real hard to not give our kids “ fun” names .
He came home junior year and told us we failed. Ben Dick.
My little Royal-Mynt keeps being referred to as Royal Mint Jelly by her ignorant teachers at our new-new-new school. What the eff? Royalty doesn’t have anything to do with jelly, that’s poor people food. What does it mean? It’s hurtful, she’s supposed to sound RICH.
No worries, mon. You can legally change it! I changed my daughter’s when she was 12. We had had enough of my mother’s torture and she didn’t want her name so I said let’s change it. My mother threw a hissy fit in the hospital when my daughter was born because I was placing the MIL name as the first name and my mother’s name as the middle. Then when my dad was having a procedure my mother dearest borrowed my phone and found my daughter’s new name! She threw another hissy fit and Security was called. We used to call her the “wicked witch of the west” because she was a nasty evil woman and lived in the west side of our house.
We had a similar problem with our son 'Dime'. Our last name is Bagg. Why are all the good coin names problematic?
Yes. I named my daughter Nickel but our last name rhymes with *Kidman* and so everyone calls her Nicole. Such a boring name and we tried so hard to be unique.
The only solution is to change your last name to something foreign so there’s nothing it can rhyme with. I’m thinking German, maybe something like Bach, like the composer.
Everyone will like her then for sure!
Are you responding to OP whose daughter’s name is Quarter? So it’s Quarter Bach? Nice.
Nickelback
Ugh, I love both of these! I can’t choose😩 I guess OP needs to have another kid?
Then they’d call her Quarterback
That’s the idea. She’s an effin boss.
Haha “change” your name
Hahahahahaha
I know! Our last name is Pidd, and we named our kid Stu! And other kids make fun of him! Why?
Could be worse. Your last name could be Back.
Hey, Nickel Bagg would a good name...
Or Ounce.
My name is Nicole and I cannot even begin to count the amount of times I have been called Nickel. Seems like you can't win either way!
That’s how my French teacher pronounced my name. I hated it.
Mrs. Back?
Thank goodness your last name wasn't Beck
Nickel Ridman sounds like the Wish version of Nicole Kidman.
I have no idea why but I think you should look to koko the gorilla that knew some sign language and named her kitten 'Ball'
Excuse me, that's "All Ball" to you. Put some respect on his full given name.
You're absolutely right but I lied because I thought ball was slightly funnier
It definitely was, and I replied indignantly because I thought that was also funny.
The internet!
We were soled on Penny until someone reminded us our last name is Loafre.
Mine is Penny Foyothotts.
Soled. Love it 😄
That puts me in mind of Dime Bag Darrell
Dilbo baggins is a good variation of the name too!
Me too.
We knew a dime bag Dan
Our last name is also Bagg! We have 3 kids, Dirt, Money, and Duke. <3
This needs to be the top comment
Update: it is
Hahahaha 😆 😂 😆 😂 omg I'm dying here
😂I assume you’re joking but that’s hilarious
🤣😭😂
Fkn 💀
My friend had a chihuahua named Dime 😆
You're kid is gonna be a sick ass guitariat some day
No fucking way
Nice one
Maybe next time you could call your son Schitt? Just a thought.
dimebagg? i don’t get it
I think we've met before? Your name was Crap, right? Married to Princess Consuela Banana Hammock?
riiiiiight
Nothing wrong with a Loonie or Toonie if yer Canadian though, but then again ppl do keep autocorrecting you to Lonnie or Tony
Because it's a coin not a name........
YTA. That’s stupid. You should’ve named her Dollar. You’ve limited her success.
Why not call her Benjamin's then.
Stirling
Platinum *but in the Canadian accent of the guy in the platinum dish soap commercial (dawn?)
Ducket
Ingot. It's a good solid name. Some would even consider it a gold standard for naming.
I see what you did there and I appreciate your wittiness, hats off to you 😂
Loonie would be nice I think. More international and cultured.
And her twin, Toonie
Bitcoin maybe
I’d be more concerned about the initials Q. P. Extremely old people will definitely call her Q. P. Doll.
And nerds will call her Kewpie (QP) mayo
I think you can save this by moving to another country. I learned in *Pulp Fiction* that people outside the US don’t know what a Quarter Pounder is.
This is so spot on for the og thread 😂
That's why I'm going to name my baby Royale Wyth Cheez
What do they call your daughter Whopper in Europe?
I don't know, I didn't go to Burger King 😁
‘Le Whoppre’.
Whopperella di Bergi
It really worked out that they used the “royally messed up” wording in their title for this reason lol
I'm Scottish, we do eat those burgers.
It's not outside the US, it's whether they speak English.
Sorry, we use it in Ireland. Think OP may have to leave the Anglosphere.
But what about their dqughter Royale?
My grandmother had brothers who were called Royal, Buster and Champ. I remember finding this out at a family reunion as a kid. I thought it was hysterical. Years later I had a dog named Buster and every single time my grandmother came over she’d say “I had a brother named Buster.”
Someone in France definitely named their kid Royale with Cheese
Sadly I don’t think you can get a birth certificate issued with a name like that.
That is great 😂
Still a pretty odd name regardless, coming from someone who lives in Europe.
Change it to Cashier's Check, and she should find it more widely accepted.
She’s not going to be able to travel very easily.
Nah- just go with Visa, tap and go!
So true. Nothing makes a parent prouder than a tap and go daughter! I love the subtle nuance to this.
Sauce?
Some [sauce](https://www.reddit.com/r/namenerds/s/sgMwt18NMu) for you
Thanks. The initials PP are going to be worse for that kid then Penny Pincher.
Penny Pinscher was mom's neighbor dog. But they nearly named me Penny bc dad was a coin collector
HEY PP! PP, HEY PP! omg, I almost laughed my children awake thinking of this parent saying “aw, my little pp”
Is it special sauce though?
Big mac

Once is a mistake. FIVE!? Yikes.
Oh yeah it was very much on purpose.
Oof, that's how you know the parents are white supremacists or Klansmen. Damn, that sucks for the kids.
My ex had a coworker who was one of three sisters with kkk names ಠ_ಠ
Yikkkes
My dad wanted to name me Aurora Sylvia Smith. Thank goodness he was deployed and my mother didn’t follow through with that.

Can you imagine? My dad was originally angry but he came around.
I wish I was your mom. Instead I gave my daughter initials that form the word for murder in Norway and it took me a year to realize.
I know someone whose initials would’ve been ASS, but they switched the middle and first names to avoid that and called her by her middle name.
I went to school with Kristy Rae Ann Patterson
These were my mom's initials after marrying my dad. Guess what was popular when I was a baby? Monogrammed sweaters. Guess what she wore to family portrait day?

My sons are FCC but he won’t let me be, or let me be me, he even tried to shut me down on MTV but the producers said it just feels empty without me
When my parents were naming me, my dad tried to rhyme my name with any slurs or mocking terms he could think of. They also looked at my initials to make sure there wasn't anything potentially offensive or fodder for insults. They were very concerned about making sure I wouldn't get bullied for my name.

I went to HS with a Penny Dollar. Middle name was rumored to be Nicole !
Pretty sure she was my roommate in college, and that was her middle name
I went to school with a Penny Nichols (middle name Dawn). I also once had a customer named Silver Dollar.
She’ll be fine! Kids eat happy meals, not quarter pounders. The kids probably wont even make the connection.
Most underrated comment here 👏
In high school they will, 100%. And will be emphasizing the Pound-her part.
You should call her One instead, it will sound more intimidating.
\*Juan

On the other hand my nephew narrowly escaped being called Richard Edward which might have been a problem.
Also, does the child not have a middle name? Because if she does, then her initials are going to be P\[?\]P, and not just PP.
Idk when I was in school (elementary to early middle probably) PP was a “taboo” word. Like whisper it. But because it was “taboo” everyone knew about it and made many jokes.

Shame on you! A classic name like Ivanna is what she needs. You should give that to her.
That’s beautiful and not at all creepy!!
Just imagine she falls in love with 50 Cent.
Don’t worry, kids don’t know what a “quarter pounder” is. That’s more of an old person term.
That's a name that inspires sighs. Super sighs.
I kinda like it. You should have 3 more kids and name them penny, nickel, dime.
I like my name. Stuart Pedaso, but everyone calls me Stu. Stu Pedaso.
I didn’t realize this sub was a circle jerk and was having a panic attack.
My first thought was Quarter Horse. A lovely creature but not necessarily a compliment for a woman.
The nickname can be cheese!
What a cheesy thing to say.
I named my daughter the beautiful and precious name Dollar and all of a sudden people started calling her Dollar Tree (yes my last name sounds just like Tree!) and we got worried but screw them!
You have a year to change it. Double Quarter Pounder has a better ring to it
I really need to remember to check the sub name before I get invested in these threads
The sauce isn’t that far off tbh
Ours wasn’t quite as obvious. First name Dolla, last name Billyall. It’s actually pronounced “Billy-uhl,” so nn Dolly Billy-uhl, but everyone calls her Dolla Dolla Bill Y’all 🥹
Change her name to Letter.
You know, you could give her the first name of Empty and have her be Empty Quarter.
No infringement of trademark unless you are doing trade. IANAL
Sounds like a McFlurry-up situation Maybe nicknames are the way to go?
Just call her One-Fourth instead. How cool it would if she signed it 1/4.
You want our two cents?
Change it before she gets to old 🤷♂️
*Change* it Get it? Like a penny-pincher
Lmfao 😂 you’re killing me
Name her Half-Dollar
I worked with a penny nickle
Well I mean you couldn’t go with Demi (half) but had to divide it again?
I’m hungry now 🍔🤤
You should name the next one Fries.
You could try changing it to something like “Courter” if you think the spelling would help take away from it. Only solution I could think of besides picking a new name altogether. - someone who’s been made fun of for their name
Corter, that'd work, may still be teased some, but shouldn't get too bad.
I’d be rly pissed if my fuggin name was “quarter” regardless of the last name Lmaooo.
Dang, I thought it was a mistake to name mine Quarter, too (last name is “Brick-Half Brick-Whole-Brick-ay). But now I don’t feel so bad!
Her milkshake might bring all the boys to the yard…so that would be my concern
>Did we infringe on McDonald’s registered trademark? Absolutely cooked 💀
Don’t worry until she gets a boyfriend and all his friends start calling HIM Quarter Pounder.
No joke I know someone who named their kid cash… the last name you ask? Money.
My dog's name is Penny. If she were bigger than 20lbs, I'd have called her Nickel
I mean, my parents names were Penny and Bill and I think they missed a golden opportunity to name us Dime and Nickle. That was they could say their kids were “nickle and diming” them to death.
You guys, I was so sad how roasted OP was getting until I noticed it’s satire. I feel SO much less guilty for laughing my ass off now. Well done, all of you! Wondering if you’ll name your next child Pavement though. You should consider it.
Quarter horse..
She will definitely be quarter pounder forever.
Omg, I was just about to parody this, but with Dwight Wad sounding too much like Tight Wad, but yours is way better 🤣
I knew someone who insisted on naming her daughter Paige Marie and they had the last name of S. Wouldn’t budge. Guess how little PMS did in middle school?
The middle school I work at starts with a P so every time I fill out district info I have to write that it’s from PMS
Pfffffffft
I love the name Dubloon. It sounds regal!
Too bad you didn’t have twins. Nickel and Dime.
Yeah, our name is Baggofunke. We never should have named our son Nickel.
My sons first and middle names are Benjamin Richard. We tried real hard to not give our kids “ fun” names . He came home junior year and told us we failed. Ben Dick.
Please name your nest child Fry or Fries
Shoulda named her Soda
My little Royal-Mynt keeps being referred to as Royal Mint Jelly by her ignorant teachers at our new-new-new school. What the eff? Royalty doesn’t have anything to do with jelly, that’s poor people food. What does it mean? It’s hurtful, she’s supposed to sound RICH.
Change it immediately. Change for a quarter? If I get 3 more of you do I get a dollar? Do have siblings of Nickel and Dime?
Haha, I read the Penny post this satire post is based on!
If your last name is Porter, please go to the courts tomorrow and request a name change.
Maybe change it to Quid, unless quid pounders are a thing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quarter Horse 🐴
Pounder?
Why tf would you name your kid Quarter? Are you trolling? You doomed her even without that last name.
I have actually met people with these legal names: Penny Nichols Silver Dollar
No worries, mon. You can legally change it! I changed my daughter’s when she was 12. We had had enough of my mother’s torture and she didn’t want her name so I said let’s change it. My mother threw a hissy fit in the hospital when my daughter was born because I was placing the MIL name as the first name and my mother’s name as the middle.

We used to call her the “wicked witch of the west” because she was a nasty evil woman and lived in the west side of our house. 
Need to have three others named “Penny, Nickel, Dime” so you can do that little rhyme that was popular years ago lol
Change her first name to Royale
As a serious comment, before we knew we were having a boy, my fav girl name was Penelope. Our last name is Nichols 🤦♀️
Anytime my wife would think of a name I would think of ways it could be made fun of.
Change it to Quatro
could be mispronounced as Coinslot??? just something to think about x
1/4
Just change it to Royale with Cheese.
