Society & Culture Terrible baby names

Blayde...the name was s**t without the 'y'.

 

[Knighta21]

Jessikah.... Really?

My mum's best friend's step-daughter had a child last year or year before and named it Jackson James. That's normal right, sure... However she spelt it like this: Jaxzyn Jaymz. That poor kid will never know how to spell his own name.

He'll dominate at Scrabble though...

Thought I'd see a heap of stupid bogan kids names doing the swimming this week but surprising almost all of them are pretty traditional.

Jakara Anthony women's mogul at Winter Olympics

Speaking of female mogul skiers with weird names, one of the Americans' first name was Keaton.

I wonder if her parents were massive silent film buffs or big fans of the show Family Ties?

Our youngest is named Rowan. I’ve had a couple of people lately say they’ve only known it as a girls name. There is even a girl with the name is his daycare. I think it’s a North American thing. I always knew it as a Gaelic male name.

Isn't the feminine version "Rowena"?

Not over here apparently. Oh well. Hope I haven’t hindered my little guy in any way.

I have never in my life heard of Rohan/Rowan as a girl's name. Rowena, sure, but definitely not the others.

Isn't the feminine version "Rowena"?

Spoken like a true Ravenclaw

Guy called Semen won a medal at the Olympics. He was Russian too, there's a joke about making the best of a sticky situation in among all of that somewhere.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Isn't the feminine version "Rowena"?

There was a boy named Rowan at my primary school, and we teased him by calling him Rowena.

 

[El Dubya]

Guy on some dating site ad named "Allyn".

It's a male name, they're morons. I'd have gone with "Rohan" though, reckon it looks neater.

That would be mispronounced over here. He’d constantly be getting ‘Ro-hann’.

Just looked at your location, not surprised at all by the mispronunciation or the number of poorly misgendered children.

Terrible!

Well I guess I’m going to be unpopular if I ever have kids, already picked James for a boy and Rachael for a girl.

Hopefully I don’t knock up a bogan and have to argue for 9 months over the names.

My missus is a dead set bogan and we argued for nearly 9 months.

She wanted to call him Cooper because that is her surname. Very creative chick.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Could use it as a middle name maybe? We used our grandparents names as middle names.

 

[Tbonefreo]

We ended up using our grandparents names as middle names. Compromise because she doesnt like my name

 

[Marklar_33]

We used my grandmothers maiden name, Blair, as a middle name
