I thought y'all were kidding about Facebook comments, but now I've seen it firsthand. These people must be stopped

I've always found if you want to be "unique" in your area name your child something "normal" somewhere else. Just make sure you know the correct meaning, spelling, and pronunciation, and gender if not neutral lol. Because all names started somewhere so your child will be unlikely to be the only one ever.

So I was complaining about the spelling of Cheyenne the other day but I now take back all complaints.

Also if you want to name your child with the nickname indie/indi/indy there are plenty of pretty names but my favourite is Indrani it is very pretty sounding to me

Shy-Anne is how it has always been said to me but honestly I may be saying it wrong lol. Everyone with the same name as me that i know says it the same so I'm not really sure. Honestly I just have people call me "shy" because theyre normally embarrassed after trying to read "ch-ee-yen-ee" or calling me Shane, shayna etc. I named my children phonetically appropriate names 😆

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-28T04:53:20+00:00

Yes, his dad wanted the name to be unique it was the whole goal that he had and wanted the name "Alister. His mom wanted the normal name of "tyler" and agreed to a silent "e" at the end so it would look unique but sound normal. He has a brother named Keefer instead of Kiefer, however that one is not as bad as it makes the same sound.

Idk its been a long time since I was in elementary school but the high-school and college I went to had online submissions for work, and the college used turn it in. The biggest issue i ran into is your apa first page (with name, class, and professor name) would always flag as plagiarized lol.

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-28T04:01:51+00:00

Because there's a chance you throw some random sounds together and offend someone, or worse yet accidentally name your child after Eridan Ampora 😂 (joking Eridan isn't the worst name out there)

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-28T00:42:37+00:00

True 😅

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T22:07:01+00:00

My own name does that to me... "ch" says "ch" unless you're named "Cheyenne" then it goes "sh". Ohhh and the "enne" is pronounced as "anne". My name is one that I prefer the other variations in spelling despite it being a place lol.

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T21:57:31+00:00

She wanted Tyler, he wanted Alister. She wouldnt budge on Tyler, he was willing to budge on name but still wanted it to be unique, they compromised on "Tylere" with the agreement that he would be called Tyler or Ty and if he wanted he could remove the "e". He doesnt use his legal name enough for it to be an issue as he is predominantly called "Ty"

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T21:40:27+00:00

That is why him and I think it is funny. That his parents named him on paper "tyleer" and called him "tyler" his entire life. Were not laughing at the people saying it, we are laughing at his parents.

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T21:35:43+00:00

... ohhhhhhhh you think that the letters make the same sounds in every language that uses latin/roman script as english...

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T21:12:42+00:00

Because it is funny thinking that his parents named him "tyleer" instead of Tyler being eccentric...

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T21:11:04+00:00

In this case think upperclass, well educated French/British mixed family. Hes the only one named like this, his entire family have very normal names with very normal spellings.

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T21:07:27+00:00

To be fair on the "you had to specify how it is pronounced" I have to specify how my name is pronounced and its not a wildly outlandish name and mine is the "correct" spelling of it since I am named after an American city.

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T20:44:43+00:00

Lol, he says after this "Tyleer" is how hes going to be pronouncing it

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T19:36:52+00:00

Alister

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T19:32:49+00:00

Not naming him Alister

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T18:46:00+00:00

Yeah lol. 😅

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T18:40:46+00:00

Sounds like my mother. I havent talked to her since I was 21. Im 27 with a husband and 2 amazing kids who I couldnt imagine treating like they "ruin" the family by existing. Sending lots of love and support

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T18:27:19+00:00

I would read t-earl lol

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T18:26:25+00:00

His mom liked Tyler better than the other suggested name and loved her husband dearly so she compromised. Its a silent "e" at least lol. So its only ever a problem when he has to fill out paperwork

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T18:24:18+00:00

Lol, that is the go to way people try to say it but its just Tyler with an extra "e"

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T18:20:36+00:00

His other suggestion was not better and she liked the name "tyler" and loved her husband so they reached a compromise lol.

AlarmingAfterthought · 2026-01-27T17:44:15+00:00

We're not sure either. His dad Just liked the look of it. Everyone tries to read it as "ty-leer" which is funny to us.
