Society & Culture Terrible baby names

[cats2rise]

Had an awkward moment the other week.

Caught up with some friends who were happy to announce that her sister had a baby the other week. The friends asked me "have a guess how to pronounce the name: K A I N Y N ?"

I respond, sheepishly, "Er... Canine?"

At this precise moment a woman walking some dogs walked past the coffee shop window. We all looked at the dogs. It all got very awkward. My wife gave me a death stare. Our friends looked at me like I was an utter c***.

Our friends responded with "No, it's pronounced Kye (like sky) nin."

Well ffs don't play a stupid guessing game then get offended. Its a ridiculous name anyway

In so much as a kick in the guts is better than a kick in the balls.

I like the name Boston. The worst names are the most common. I'd rather have a unique name than a boring mundane name.

Which bogan suburb do you live in then Deyn?

Kynan would've been a better alternative.

Abortion would have been a better alternative.

Xtylish is a brand of Japanese gum. It's very good gum, but not so good that I'd name my kid after it.

This is legitimately agitating.

The actual **** is wrong with people that these are the top 100?

Ryker? FFS did someone grow up watching Star Trek Next Gen? Aryan is 41? Primed for Adolf to make a comeback in the 2018 list. Silas is in the top 10. I give up.

This is where all the problems begin....

Embrace unique names. In the end people with common names end up with shit nicknames to compensate their dull name.

 

[Scotland]

People with unique names end up in the Chrisco thread.
