Awful Word Names!

Oh my gosh, I just saw that [name_m]Nacho[/name_m] is a name!

Also…
[name_m]Abacus[/name_m]
[name_f]Afternoon[/name_f]
[name_u]Almond[/name_u]
[name_m]Audio[/name_m]
[name_u]Bean[/name_u] (though a cute pet name)
[name_m]Boss[/name_m]
[name_m]Bourbon[/name_m]
[name_f]Butterfly[/name_f]
[name_m]Calendar[/name_m]
[name_f]Camera[/name_f]
[name_m]Childish[/name_m]
[name_u]Democracy[/name_u]
[name_m]Diplomacy[/name_m]
[name_u]Diversity[/name_u]
[name_u]Doctor[/name_u]
[name_f]Eccentricity[/name_f]
[name_f]Energy[/name_f]
[name_u]Experience[/name_u]
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m]
[name_u]Friend[/name_u]
[name_f]Glimmer[/name_f]
[name_f]Goddess[/name_f]
[name_m]History[/name_m]
[name_f]Illumination[/name_f]
[name_m]Kicker[/name_m]
[name_u]Majesty[/name_u]
[name_m]Philosophy[/name_m]
[name_f]Rainbow[/name_f]
[name_u]Science[/name_u]
[name_m]Striker[/name_m]
[name_f]Sunshine[/name_f]
[name_m]Wrecker[/name_m]

[name_f]Imagine[/name_f] someone naming their first kid “[name_m]Favorite[/name_m],” and then having another and naming it “[name_m]Childish[/name_m].” How terrible is that!?!

Also - [name_m]History[/name_m]? “Hello, I’m new. I’m [name_m]History[/name_m].” Yikes! “These are my siblings: [name_m]Philosophy[/name_m] and [name_u]Democracy[/name_u]”

Another parent: “These are my kids, [name_f]Goddess[/name_f], [name_u]Majesty[/name_u], and [name_m]Boss[/name_m].”

“[name_m]Hi[/name_m], I’m [name_m]Kicker[/name_m] and these are my brothers [name_m]Striker[/name_m] and [name_m]Wrecker[/name_m]. [name_f]Wanna[/name_f] fight?”

Hello, sugar! I’m [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f], and these are my sisters [name_f]Butterfly[/name_f], [name_f]Glimmer[/name_f], and [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f]. It’s wonderful to meet you!”


Any other terrible word names you’ve heard, or any awful sibsets you see?

Ngl, I love [name_u]Bean[/name_u] and [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f]. I’ve come across a few [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f]’s over the years, so it seems usable to me. I like [name_f]Glimmer[/name_f] as well!

I kind of like [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f], [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f] and [name_u]Bean[/name_u] (only for a nn though). But some that I just don’t get or are not my style:

[name_f]Evening[/name_f]
[name_u]Bright[/name_u]
[name_f]Happy[/name_f] (It has a good meaning, but I can’t imagine meeting a [name_f]Happy[/name_f])
[name_m]Innocent[/name_m]
[name_m]Hi[/name_m]
[name_u]Orange[/name_u]
[name_u]Fire[/name_u]
[name_m]Knight[/name_m]
[name_m]King[/name_m]
[name_f]Queen[/name_f]
[name_f]Princess[/name_f]
[name_m]Prince[/name_m]
[name_u]Night[/name_u]

Afternoon and [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f] seem somewhat usable, and I have seen [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] and [name_f]Glimmer[/name_f] used. [name_f]Butterfly[/name_f] and [name_u]Bean[/name_u] are cute nicknames!

Agreed with @itsjustjack Nacho is usually a nn for [name_m]Ignacio[/name_m].

Some I think make great middles like [name_f]Evening[/name_f], [name_u]Night[/name_u], [name_m]Knight[/name_m], [name_u]Bright[/name_u], [name_u]Royal[/name_u], [name_u]Honor[/name_u], [name_u]Reign[/name_u], [name_f]Earth[/name_f], [name_f]Afternoon[/name_f].

But names like [name_m]Favorite[/name_m], [name_m]Brick[/name_m], [name_u]Majesty[/name_u], [name_u]Doctor[/name_u], [name_f]Camera[/name_f], [name_u]Guitar[/name_u], Glamour, Glitter, [name_u]Tarot[/name_u], [name_m]Major[/name_m], [name_m]Childish[/name_m], [name_u]Baby[/name_u], just sound so bad for first or middles.

I actually don’t think [name_m]Nacho[/name_m] counts as a word name. I could be wrong, but I believe it was a nickname before it was a snack name! Probably ruined now, but I think it does deserve more credit than, say, [name_m]Boss[/name_m] or [name_f]Glimmer[/name_f]. :joy:

I don’t think these are that bad:
[name_f]Answer[/name_f]
[name_m]Barn[/name_m] (could be short for [name_m]Barney[/name_m])
[name_u]Denim[/name_u]
[name_m]Ransom[/name_m]
[name_u]Fire[/name_u]
[name_m]Knight[/name_m]/Night
[name_m]Prince[/name_m]
[name_f]Jewel[/name_f]
[name_u]Royal[/name_u]

I agree the list is pretty rough. Two I would consider maybe okay are [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f] & [name_m]Striker[/name_m].
[name_m]Striker[/name_m] is in the vein of [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] or [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m], so to me it doesn’t seem too out there.

I love [name_f]Afternoon[/name_f] and [name_m]Calendar[/name_m]. and would rather be named them than [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] or [name_u]Ryan[/name_u].

I’m not sure that threads of “awful” names have any purpose as “awful” is pretty subjective.

Just saw that [name_f]Vendetta[/name_f] is a name according to Nameberry.

I actually love [name_f]Butterfly[/name_f], [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] and [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f]!
I knew a girl named Deusa (portuguese word meaning [name_f]Goddess[/name_f]) and it suit her so well!

Haha! We just got a new dog and his name was Groucho at the shelter but we found it hard to say. The cashier at Starbucks misheard it as [name_m]Nacho[/name_m] and we thought that was a better name that sounded similar enough so it has stuck. (The cashier had a cat named Jalapeño)
I would never name a person [name_m]Nacho[/name_m] though

I read a book once-- can’t remember what it’s called— all the characters had word names.

Main character was [name_u]Comfort[/name_u], her siblings were Tidings and [name_f]Merry[/name_f]; her friend’s name was Declaration.

And like the others, I agree [name_m]Nacho[/name_m] was a nickname for [name_m]Ignacio[/name_m], like [name_m]Nacho[/name_m] Libre.

I’m not a fan of:

Cherry
Culture / [name_f]Kulture[/name_f]
[name_f]Liberty[/name_f]
[name_f]Modesty[/name_f]

I actually like [name_u]Almond[/name_u] a bit. Not something I’d use, but it’s kinda sweet.

I’ve also met a Synceer ([name_u]Sincere[/name_u]) :grimacing:
