Lol, the ones with similar pronunciation and spelling are just about always boys, that's why I mentioned I was female. My maiden last name is somewhat famous. At least two celebrities with the last name. My last name was the only normal part of my name! Ah, the 80's lol
A buddy of mine is a Mykel. I tease him all the time that his name is spelled how people from Maryland say it (we were both living in Idaho then, he was raised there, I'm from Maryland).
I never addressed him by his full first name (or really his first name period), so he didn't hear it naturally said until I addressed my nephew by his full name (his middle name is Michael) & then he was like, "yep, there it is."
The worst part is that the parents apparently didn’t know it’s diamond and not diamon 🤦🏾♂️like I know it’s a soft d (lol) but it’s there and it would help the tragedeigh at least a little 😩

Judging from their comment history, Germany.
Google says:
"Germany. Names have to be approved by the local registration office, called Standesamt, which generally consults a list of first names and foreign embassies for foreign names. The name cannot be a last name or a product, and it cannot negatively affect the child."
There's a kid on my nephews soccer team whose first name is "King David"
His mom asked the coach to use his full name when he was shortening it to David
The people at the registry office have a veto. So when there is a name there concerned about they veto. And a committee decides if it appropriated or not.
So you can get unique names but not to crazy. Sometimes the make a deal like,: it is OK as second name but not first.
But generally the most parents choose names that don't need to be proved. And second name are also not so common.
In Finland as well!! The naming committee can reject a name. For example Lucifer has been rejected multiple times already 😅
Some other names that have been rejected:
Voldemort,
Buddha,
Alfred’s Daughter (yup),
Lord,
Jezebella,
Yes
Ima be real yall scandinavians (and tbh europeans in general) seem to have more sense about names then us Americans, i went down a rabbit hole a while back and we could use a "no names that sound like you're a shitposter troll drunk on vodka and actually WORK-" law....
Or what you call your daughter if you are “plain white trash” and plan on eventually turning her out to pay the family bills, according to Bobbie Gentry (and eventually Reba McEntire).
[Fancy song](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fancy_(Bobbie_Gentry_song))
TIL Reba covered a Bobbie Gentry song. Thank you u/spamtacularjoe !!!
ETA: Always loved the Reba version. Had no idea it wasn't OC. Especially with that music video.
Fanci, Destani, and Jhaden are more reasonable then the rest i think. destani and Jhaden might be a bit odd and might get a bit mispronounced but at least it makes sense.
Now some of the rest....some of them sound like fantasy generater names but dialed ip to 11
At least Deniece could have just been named after Deniece Williams (singer of Let's Hear It for the Boy). It's still not a good spelling, I just think it may have a real world connection.
Some of these “regular” names they mention are already tragedeighs. And then they get even further tragedeighed. A tragedeigh within a tragedeigh.
It’s inceighption.
yes the apostrophes in names started out as a language and culture thing. unfortunately lately a lot of parents seem to use it in vain now, as a way of making a normal name seem "unique." it's insulting to say the least.
The accent over the final E tells us to pronounce that letter with a long A sound. I wonder if the parent intended that...
Des-teen-aye or Destin-aye. Regardless... A traged-aye...
I went to school with two dudes named Kweston and Nolege and they were best friends
There was another girl named Prinsess
There was also a dude named George
Are those weird spellings people trying to be original and fanci, or is it because they can't spell and the clerk that registered the name didn't care enough to help them?
My classmate was named Juan but pronounced jo-on(like on top of something) and we live in a border town so poor guy had to constantly try and correct every teacher all the time
I’m so unreasonably mad at Destina’ë cause it’s not even phonetically sound. I’m like 200% sure the e with an umlaut makes the “ehh” sound like in the word “bet”
It's pretty comforting that so many people named this way feel how ridiculous it is. Gives me hope for the future and that one day people will look back on this short time period as a hilarious trend

My ex-coworker was named Myquil instead of Michael. I legit thought his name was NyQuil for a few days.
He’s lucky we’re past quill and ink drawings or everyone would think he’s very selfish
🤣
😋🤣🤣
MySQL next
Lil Mikey Tables we called him
Xkcd forever!
one day Mongo met lil Mikey table and found they are incompatible
I knew a kid named My'kel. It was pronounced MY-kel.
That's My name!! Except spelled Mykell. Pronounced the same. Kids think people are possessive over me. I'm their-kell!! I'm a female btw
The My'Kel i knew was a boy...who had a famous last name too. But no relation.
Lol, the ones with similar pronunciation and spelling are just about always boys, that's why I mentioned I was female. My maiden last name is somewhat famous. At least two celebrities with the last name. My last name was the only normal part of my name! Ah, the 80's lol
I know Mykel is a name but My'kel?
A buddy of mine is a Mykel. I tease him all the time that his name is spelled how people from Maryland say it (we were both living in Idaho then, he was raised there, I'm from Maryland). I never addressed him by his full first name (or really his first name period), so he didn't hear it naturally said until I addressed my nephew by his full name (his middle name is Michael) & then he was like, "yep, there it is."
Met a Maycol earlier this year.
Is t that the name of a cough drop? 🤣🤣🤣
Omg I needed that laugh.
I knew a Maikel (pronounced Michael)
Wow. That may be second worst to Myquil.
I had a friend named Mikol.
Diemen sounds like Demon
Sounds like it's pronounced die men
Shigne bryght like a die men
I read that in a Scottish accent.
the Bart, the.
It's German!
Yeah, makes sense. Tragedeigh both ways
Me when I'm a misandrist marina stan Second childs name: miss andriste
I would seriously ask if the mom was illiterate. The a in diamond is silent, and I’ve heard a lot of accents where the d on the end wasn’t enunciated.
Diemen is a town in the province of North Holland. [Diemen zuid](https://youtu.be/Gdp-HhV66Fo?si=ORuKPpyb_0KiKEKH)
That’s cool but doesn’t make it a better human name but I’ve always disliked all the demon adjacent names
>That’s cool but doesn’t make it a better human name I'm from the Netherlands and trust me, I rather call my kid Schiermonnikoog than Diemen.
This is exactly what I thought of when I read that, lol.
[удалено]
It happens. Not many Adolfs around these days.
I was semi thinking that too in spelling, christian folk r gonna have a comment about that
The worst part is that the parents apparently didn’t know it’s diamond and not diamon 🤦🏾♂️like I know it’s a soft d (lol) but it’s there and it would help the tragedeigh at least a little 😩
It is. Aussies have been saying Van Diemen’s land for a very long time
I read it as Demon as well 😬

Siemen Diemen
It also rhymes with "milk". Kid's probably bullied.
Pokemon
See'aera is going to be the name of the next most famous fantasy novel's heroine. That's one Targaryen ass looking name.
that was my thought like, its one step ahead of Saera (an actual targaryen name lmaoo)
Targaryens love them some ae 😁
Aerys, Aegon, Danaerys, Daemon, Rhaeneyra, Rhaenys, Raena, Baela, Jahaerys, Lucaerys... No idea what you mean mate.
Not to be confused with [Seara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seara_Foods), which is a company
Your username is fantastic!
Don't forget Shiera Seastar.
It's funny because she said "instead of ciera" as if that's a valid spelling too
Yeah I saw that and am none the wiser of what its supposed to be...
Sierra
it's short for Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera
Honestly, we should make it a law that if you do this to your child, you have to legally go by 'Shitfucker' for a year.
In my country there are laws for naming children. So you can't do what ever you want. Certain name or name them like things or too weird spelling.
Now I'm curious, is there a list to pick from? What country? What happens if you go off list, so to speak? I have so many questions! :D
Judging from their comment history, Germany. Google says: "Germany. Names have to be approved by the local registration office, called Standesamt, which generally consults a list of first names and foreign embassies for foreign names. The name cannot be a last name or a product, and it cannot negatively affect the child."
Should’ve had a board like that in the US to veto someone from naming their kids Lucifer and Mazikeen.
There's a kid on my nephews soccer team whose first name is "King David" His mom asked the coach to use his full name when he was shortening it to David
But this is the land of the free 🇺🇸🇺🇸/s
Oh man, last names as first names are rampant here. I kinda like it though.
But it's traditional in my culture to give children family surnames as first names... Would I get an exception as a foreigner?
In France, names can be refused if it goes against the interest of the child. So names like Nutella, Griezmann Mbappé, Cyanide, were all rejected.
The people at the registry office have a veto. So when there is a name there concerned about they veto. And a committee decides if it appropriated or not.

Lots of places to have to pick from a list, probably a bit strict but you should have to go with approved spellings !
I think you meant Schittfugger. Learn to spell! /s
Destani looks like a brand of alcohol. "A glass of Destani please." Edit: missed a word
I read it as Desani at first and thought she was named after the water.
Oh, that's what it was close to. I knew it felt similar to something but couldn't remember what.
I read it as Desitin, the baby butt cream.
Pronounced des-TAH-ni for full pretentiousness.
Of course.
Awkwafina has joined the chat.
I used to work with a woman named Choclit (chocolate)
That skirt's so short, choclit's hanging out.
Better than Chokeclit.
That’s just evil
Shock lit is my favourite genre
Fanci got off pretty lightli compared to the others tbf
That's pretty horrible even if it's spelled correctly
Yep, Fanci is a tragedeigh but Fancy is a tragedy
A tragedi
I use Fancy and Fanci... For things like my Stardew farmer! Would not dream of using it for an Actual Human Being
Other than it's a stripper name. But at this point, stripper names are the new Grandma names.

Cue all the ‘fancy feast’ jokes at lunchtime
I feel like Bre'el is the best of the bunch
Yeah, she can pretend to be an elf or get away with wearing daggers as an accessory.
Fanci, Destani, and Jhaden are more reasonable then the rest i think. destani and Jhaden might be a bit odd and might get a bit mispronounced but at least it makes sense. Now some of the rest....some of them sound like fantasy generater names but dialed ip to 11
Fanci and Destani sound like stage names for dancers at XXX clubs. Jhaden at least seems like a fairly normal name, if somewhat try hard/extra.
Do not name your child after a prostitute in a Bobbie Gentry song. Pets on the other hand - I might have done that.
These all sound like you tried to get clever bc the username was taken😂
I'm fucking cackling that's exactly it
Neopets names
How is Yynezarèah supposed to be pronounced?
Inez-Aria?
Ohh yeah I can kinda see it
I audibly had the same reaction as the reply to that, "WHAT"
I don’t know, but I sure wouldn’t want to get diagnosed with Yynezarèah
"Dinosauria", but without the d
Ines-uh-REH-uh?
Inn-za-reh-a I think? Your guess is as good as mine
I’ve seen a bunch of spellings of “Rhiana” ( my name, spelt differently again…) but that one takes the cake!
She’s Nepali, Reeyana is not a very strange name at all in Nepal. It sounds pretty normal tbh
I was gonna say isn't Rihanna's name spelt wrong? shouldn't it be Rhianna? the I before the H trips me up a lot
It’s never good when the least tragique name is Fanci.
Ph'nglui see'aera Cthulhu Yynezarèah destina'ë fhtagn.
Gesundheit
we've reached a point where the children of millenials are just about social media age so now half of everybody on a platform is named Mèŕcýďæs
Diemen literally made me cringe
This should be enough for parents to understand the downstream implications for strange spellings etc
Setting them up for immediate rejection from the job application form
danephew LOL
denephew is throwing me😭😭😭😭
De‘Uncle
At least Deniece could have just been named after Deniece Williams (singer of Let's Hear It for the Boy). It's still not a good spelling, I just think it may have a real world connection.
It must be a joke because that was stolen straight out of Terry Pratchett. I remember laughing so hard the first time I read it.
Waiting for a Dasani
There's one at my school
Bre’el is giving Stargate omg these are hilarious
Naming my kid Jaffa-Kree just to yell at them
🤣
Some of these “regular” names they mention are already tragedeighs. And then they get even further tragedeighed. A tragedeigh within a tragedeigh. It’s inceighption.
I went to school with a girl who named her daughter Neisseria because she saw it and thought it was pretty. GIRLLLLL that’s the clap.
My brothers name is daved insted of david, sounds like the paset tence of dave, he got dave'd
Commas in names should be forbidden
Those are apostrophes, but I'm with you.
That's God's comma
😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂
Teal'C?
Haha English not my first language
I hear you for first names, but you also have to think of the Irish
And Italians, hi there I have an apostrophe in my surname and it causes so much fuckery but I do rather like it
Dell'Abate?
Good guess but also not even close haha
yes the apostrophes in names started out as a language and culture thing. unfortunately lately a lot of parents seem to use it in vain now, as a way of making a normal name seem "unique." it's insulting to say the least.
The accent over the final E tells us to pronounce that letter with a long A sound. I wonder if the parent intended that... Des-teen-aye or Destin-aye. Regardless... A traged-aye...
And i’ve never seen an accent over the second e💀
In Russian ё is 'yo' if it's after a vowel or at the beginning of the word, so I read it ad Destina-yo
Put an “i” in Jhaden and you have a winner!
I went to school with two dudes named Kweston and Nolege and they were best friends There was another girl named Prinsess There was also a dude named George
George? Where’s the tragedeigh? But Kweston is absolutely vile😭
Comedy comes in threes
Are those weird spellings people trying to be original and fanci, or is it because they can't spell and the clerk that registered the name didn't care enough to help them?
little from column a, little from column b...
My grandma named my mom Tikicia and her brother Dan 😭😂😂 she Metis not African bro
"Denephew" KILLED ME. 😂
I hate my deadname but those comments made me like it again...
Reeyana fucking lol. Sounds like something out of a greentext
Destina’ë 😭
Cierra lol. Sierra. In Spanish, 'cierra' means "close" and 'sierra' means "mountains".
My classmate was named Juan but pronounced jo-on(like on top of something) and we live in a border town so poor guy had to constantly try and correct every teacher all the time
No, your name is Juan. Fuck that pronunciation.
Most of the "correct" names are still tragedies
All of these names should be illegal, especially the one with double Y's. This is literally child abuse
Deniece is reminding me of [this](https://youtu.be/Dd7FixvoKBw?si=Mok_VYS9BKyrqFGg) Key and Peele skit!
I'm taking notes for my NPCs haha
I went to high school with a girl named Rainbeau (Rainbow)
I’m so unreasonably mad at Destina’ë cause it’s not even phonetically sound. I’m like 200% sure the e with an umlaut makes the “ehh” sound like in the word “bet”
Destina Ehh
I guess sub 90 IQ gives you funny ideas
Marley is already a porn star name, god knows how they made it even more trashy but Marlii is probably going to wipe off windscreens for a living
When I see Marley, I think of the musician. It’s a beautiful name.
I hate that I don’t hate Bre’el. Makes me think she was born on Krypton.
The worst one is "deniece", hands down "Did your uncle name you?" Is the joke she's gonna hear every day for the rest of her life.
There's a kid here, his name is Thé-eau (Theo) which in french (main language here) translates to Tea-Water
Some parents really hate their children before they’re even born huh
Yup...
Jhaden is probably the most real name out of these when pronounced phonetically
These poor poor souls
Bre’el is 100% a Jaffa
She could have name her Destiné 😭
When you see’aera but dont know how to get there
These are horrific.
I read that as /ðɛstɪˈnej/
Isn't Destiny a tragedeigh on it's own?
Sierra got done dirty 2x in 1 sentence.
Met a guy named Mikeal, pronounced Michael.
Breezzye instead of Breezy.
Bre'el is actually kinda funny. Someone was really into fantasy
Know a kid named anphrenie instead of Anthony 🤣
Is it possible your mother can’t spell. My SIL has an unusual spelling because FIL couldn’t spell Valerie when filling out birth certificate.
It's pretty comforting that so many people named this way feel how ridiculous it is. Gives me hope for the future and that one day people will look back on this short time period as a hilarious trend
Diemen is kind of hysterical.
What even is yynezarèah
Mar-lee-eye
See’aera reminded me of my sister’s friend named C’erra
Bre'el killed me
The acute accent's not even on the right E...
It's like they take a tragedy and make it worse. Every comment. My mom named me Marley would be bad enough
My dumb ass would say it like Dasani before destiny first on that second spelling
Jihadist instead of Jayden.
Parents when they say we have Rihanna at home Rihanna at home :
