Name Rants

The name nerd in me dies inside when my friends and high school classmates pick ridiculous names for their kids. I want to message them name lists and say, “Hey, take a look at this list and see if you like any of these names better! Please!” (Note: I’ve never done that. It’s their kid, not mine. lol)

[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] looks like it’s supposed to be a Japanese name or something why is it not Japanese

Oh wait

It’s apparently Japanese too

That makes a lot of sense [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] just doesn’t look Hebrew

[name_m]Just[/name_m] saw twins on social media called [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and Octavia… cute right?

Apparently not to everyone in the comment section who absolutely hated the names and pitied the babies for having to wear them :roll_eyes: Saying “have fun getting bullied”. UGH

The most bullying I can see happening for those names is being lightly teased for their names being “pretentious”

It’s not as if either [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] sound like anything vulgar or funny.

Not really a rant because it’s not my favourite but is funny. I’ve quite liked [name_m]Boniface[/name_m] (Bonnie-fass) since I watched The [name_u]Chorus[/name_u] in Year 8 [name_u]French[/name_u], but I am not [name_u]French[/name_u] so it would 1. look pretentious and 2. be pronounced as bonnie face. :joy:

To me it would look more extremely Catholic than anything else.

When you have way more boy combos than girl combos so you try searching for new inspiration… and you just end up finding 10 more boys names that you like :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

You ever have a word that can be so good as a name but it has such a horrible meaning or association, yea that’s me right now. Words Sucia, it means dirty in Spanish, both dirty as in “this shirt’s dirty” and a word for a dirty (literally dirty) or promiscuous woman. It could be so pretty though :sob:

I’m not Catholic either. Shame their are loads of interestingly named saints. Bring back the names [name_m]Boniface[/name_m], [name_m]Bede[/name_m] and [name_f]Hildegard[/name_f].

[name_m]Can[/name_m] somebody come and physically stop me from adding names to my lists without taking any off? I currently have like 40 “top” contenders for each sex and every day it’s getting longer :grimacing: I keep falling in love with new names, but then I can’t bring myself to remove any :man_facepalming:

[name_u]True[/name_u] haha! There are certainly worse problems! But it’s kind of annoying when you’re trying to narrow down your real-life, for-a-kid list and you just keep adding to it instead… apparently giving your child 40 names at once is “not practical” and “unhinged behaviour” :roll_eyes: Sick of the haters smh :triumph::laughing:
