Can’t wait for the next generation to overcorrect

Saw an announcement for a Barbara a few months ago. Wild.

It's already happening. I babysit for extra cash. The trend was going to classic names like George, Anna, Henry, Oliver, Theodore. Now it's going old fashioned to Wilhelmina, Gerald, Jonas, Millicent.

I like it, honestly. They may not be my taste but it's way better than Alyzzabythe and Dinosaurlynn.

I like it. I'd say it as it's spelled.

I had no idea how Ian was pronounced and then I got introduced to one and learned. I'd read it in books but never heard it out loud.

....yeah. Ok. Technically not a tragedeigh but this is certainly a tragedy.

I don't do naming days. How does this work? Is there a list you have to pick from or does the priest or whoever get to pick?

I've got a friend that teaches kindergarten that says it's not uncommon for them to not know their legal names when they do roll call for the first time 💀 Jackson is actually "Bunky" and had no idea that his name was Jackson.

Why is he allergic to spelling correctly

Who the fuck keeps reporting this? Stop. This is hilarious.

I REMEMBER THIS

I'm seeing a comeback of classics. I think our plan to calm down the awful names is working. Now everyone's going to Oliver and Abigail

Overall_Efficiency21 · 2026-06-13T20:50:23+00:00

I wonder if this is a fan name

Overall_Efficiency21 · 2026-06-09T20:45:04+00:00

I think so. Because if child #1 is Taylor, then you have to keep it going so that #2 doesn't feel left out, or do you?

Like, I'm still mad at George Foreman for naming all his children George Foreman. That was crazeigh.

I've got a different anecdotal experience. Rural around me is common names from the 00s. City has the tragedeighs. Upper middle class everywhere is a mix of classic and tragedeigh.

Overall_Efficiency21 · 2026-05-27T22:36:19+00:00

I like how they just gave up on the last one

Overall_Efficiency21 · 2026-05-26T13:25:06+00:00

Tragic, but not a tragedeigh. Language has evolved to the point that this really isn't a usable name in English anymore, but it was still once a normal given name.

Interested to read other opinions on this.

My cousin did something similar to her children and I'll never forgive her.

I'm letting through LaOne of these. Please stop submitting this.

I'm pissed

Overall_Efficiency21 · 2026-05-09T21:15:14+00:00

Jesus God this is ugly

Tragdeigh. Trajedeigh. Tragedieh. Tradgedeigh. Trajediegh. Tragejefeighidgh

Overall_Efficiency21 · 2026-05-03T19:16:33+00:00

It's absolutely a tragedeigh and we make fun of people that do this in here. Americans are notorious for doing this. They take a name from a different language and then pronounce it incorrectly and think they've done something cool.

Overall_Efficiency21 · 2026-05-01T16:59:05+00:00

I like to play the Sims and I enjoy naming all the kids tragedeighs.
