What are some “dumb” or ridiculous girls names that you’ve come across? It’s for a character whose mother gave her a name that she absolutely despises, so she chooses to rename herself. I’m trying to find a name that a young, single mother who parties, doesn’t care much about education, isn’t the smartest, and doesn’t want a child would use. Maybe with a feel like these names: 1 This list has been removed | Nameberry 100 Coolest Baby Names That Aren't Really Names | Nameberry
I’m thinking names like [name_f]Monday[/name_f], [name_u]Maize[/name_u], [name_f]Quintessence[/name_f] (which sounds nice but is too over-the-top), [name_u]Harbor[/name_u], [name_f]Afternoon[/name_f], [name_f]Bloodrayne[/name_f], etc.
I feel very called out by [name_f]Athena[/name_f], that’s one of my favorite names haha
Fanta, [name_f]Tesla[/name_f], and Maybelline definitely fit what I was looking for. Thanks!
I wouldn’t recommend using Fanta as it’s widely used in some cultures (please check with whatever you end up using as well). I know of a girl called Disney, or you could pick a celebrity baby name. Any of the Kardashians kids’ names could work.
[name_f]Bluebell[/name_f], [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f], [name_f]Cookie[/name_f], [name_u]Lemon[/name_u], [name_f]Apple[/name_f] or any -leigh name. (No offense to anyone who likes/has these names!)
I love the idea of a name related to alcohol, @ThunderLee! I may use Malibu as her middle
Thank you @lucyxo! I didn’t think of that. I’ll definitely check whatever I use and I’ll avoid Fanta.
I’ll probably do a name like Makenzee or [name_f]Charleigh[/name_f] for the first, so thanks for those suggestions @LadyMacbethWho!
And thanks to everyone else who suggested something
Some names that a young, partier mother might choose:
[name_f]Happy[/name_f]
Pina
[name_f]Ginny[/name_f]
[name_f]Brandy[/name_f]
Whiskey (unfortunately know a girl named this)
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rita[/name_f]
[name_f]Shirley[/name_f]
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u]
[name_f]Crystal[/name_f]
Heroia
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (know a girl named this too)

(These are all after drinks or drugs)
Names that aren’t related to drinks:
[name_f]Galilea[/name_f]

[name_f]Augustina[/name_f]
Hamisi
[name_f]Corazon[/name_f]
[name_f]Candy[/name_f]

[name_f]Desdemona[/name_f]
[name_f]Diamond[/name_f]
[name_f]Princess[/name_f]
[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]
Abcde (this one is just ridiculous)
I once accidentally misheard a girl’s name and thought it was [name_f]Hennessy[/name_f], like the cognac
Some other options (none of which are inherently bad just seem a little silly):
Queenie
[name_f]Renesmee[/name_f] (or a similar smoosh name)
[name_f]Moon[/name_f]
[name_m]Deli[/name_m]
Gerdy
[name_f]Star[/name_f]
[name_f]Bambi[/name_f]
[name_f]Cinderella[/name_f]
Lawna
Charming
[name_f]Darling[/name_f]
[name_f]Peaches[/name_f]
Caramel
Also the name could just be something that could cause teasing (like being named [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Robin[/name_u] or [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] [name_u]Bailey[/name_u])
At first I didn’t read that it was for a character, and when I saw you say " I love the idea of a name related to alcohol! I may use Malibu as her middle! I’ll probably do a name like Makenzee or Charleigh for the first" I was just a teensy bit confused
Ooh, there’s an idea: teensy
[name_f]Corona[/name_f] is great (in a bad way ofc) but the story will take place before covid so I won’t use it haha
Right now I have [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Margarita[/name_f] because I think it’s hilarious but I’m not entirely sure. I like a lot of the made-up names you suggested, @Estrela! Alovable and Gwendoleina are really funny
I’m really indecisive so I’ll probably take a while to make a final decision haha
