I was at the mall yesterday and a store associate introduced herself as Gardenetta. yep. like, Garden + etta …
I just had to share with you because I thought it was ridiculous! I’d be willing to bet that she’s the only Gardenetta on the planet.
Has anyone else heard any ridiculous names that you’d bet are literally one in seven billion?
No, I haven’t, wow that’s a bit unfortunate!
Gardenetta. It’s going to take a few minutes to wrap my mind around that.
I haven’t heard anything too awful that really sticks out recently.
I wonder what her nn is?
I know a Nokia whose full name is Nokalina/Nokaline or smth.
Makes me think of Gardetto’s pretzel mix.
Crikey! That’s unfortunate.
I haven’t heard any really outlandish ones lately, but I did hear a mother call her sweet little rosy-cheeked daughter [name]Gray[/name] the other day. It’s a name I might see on Nameberry and say, “simple, elegant, makes me think of clouds,” and I know it’s getting fairly popular for boys. But hearing it in real life, I was struck by its dreariness. I felt kind of sad for this vibrant child with such a muted name.
I know A LOT of people with extremely odd names like Persuasia, [name]Precious[/name], Gorgeous, Genius, [name]Lovey[/name], Skyyler (yes, with 2 Y’s) and a lot more that I can’t think of at the moment.
Oh, I also had a guy in one of my classes named Phorrest, he hated his name.
I remembered my friend’s ex-hubby’s kids (confusing I know) are called Delir & [name]Indiana[/name] nn [name]India[/name].
[name]India[/name]/[name]Indiana[/name] is cool, but imo not cool enough for a kid of simple working parents.
Anderline is one I’ve recently seen. Seems like they were going for a feminine [name]Anderson[/name].
[name]Kylor[/name] for a little blonde girl, Drazen for a bookish, brunette boy.
