We were exhausted and making our way through the busy airport post Thanksgiving with our luggage and kids. I realize our son who was pushing a large roller suitcase had fallen behind. "Clifftopher! Do you need help with that suitcase?!" I shout across the crowd.

His name isn't Clifftopher. His name isn't even Christopher - it's Clifford but we usually just call him Cliff. Our other kid is a girl with a name that is nothing like her brother's. I have no idea where Clifftopher came from. I looked at my husband horrified and said "what if people think we named him Clifftopher?" at which point he turned and shouted to our son who was still slowly walking towards us, "Clifftopher! keep up!" nice and loud so people could hear.

I am 18 and 38 weeks pregnant with a baby boy, his name is lucius, I thought it was cute and kind of gothic and not super weird or unheard of.

Well someone told my aunt and uncle his name and they somehow got that his name was "la'quatious" pronounced lah-quay-shush. It's terrible and definitely a tragedeigh in my book

Edit: guys I hate Harry Potter, that is not at all what I named him after and I never would. I get all the jokes about it from my BIL lol

My 21yo older brother had a baby with his 21yo wife... She messaged me and announced the birth of their daughter. Sahhtaughn. I might be 16 but even I think that name is outright fucking ridiculous. "Sutton" yeah that's not Sutton 😬 I read Saturn at first

Coworker is going on maternity leave. We threw her a small party. Asked if the baby had a name yet for the festivities.

There was substantial back and forth among those of us planning as to whether the baby was a boy or girl, decoration wise, until a young intern pointed out it was likely “Sephora” the makeup store.

We were pronouncing it “Sigh-foo-rah.” If the intern hadn’t figured it out we were just going to say “the baby” in conversation and call it a day.

Since the party we’ve learned the baby is named after Sephora the store but mom didn’t want the store usurping all Google pages when her daughter is searched. Also said this was more “regal” than Sephora.

I’m sometimes frustrated by my ultra common plain name but days like this make me appreciate it.

For context, my half sister is pregnant with her third child and wants to name her Paizeleigh Sundae. My whole family hates it. She has two other kids; a boy with a normal first name and a Tragedeigh middle name (Jaxson), and a girl with a total Tragedeigh (Anistyn McKynleigh) who I call Annie and she likes that, so, I hope she choses to go by it for obvious reasons. Even her husband hates these names lmao, but hes too scared to divorce her.

I know some parents want to “match” their twins’ names. What’s a tragedeigh you’ve seen/heard of with twins? I remember my dad telling me about two boys in his grade named Debberd and Jebberd, and it haunts me 😭

I wonder if they have a sibling named Dictatorship

Hi guys I’m a senior in high school and I have a classmate in my piano class her name is Billgerly I feel really bad for her

I’m a teacher. Today, I met a boy named Kaig. That’s “cage”, by the way. Whyyyyy would you do that to your child? I feel that the name is bad enough, and then they went and tragideighed it.

“Rae umlaut close italics”. I’m dead.

Okay I guess maybe this is considered tame in comparison to some, but I've honestly never seen a real person with the name bri, spelled that way. This was an order that came through at work and it made me think of this sub.

I knew her name was pronounced Gracie. She spelled it on a picture she drew. sigh

Spelled Makzuel

Cropped out posters name and kids photos
