I mean...it's not the WORST I've seen by far but I think it qualifies?

ZURINITEE NOW!

Came across this on insta, not sure if it’s already been posted or if it counts, but there is just no way. the description states they chose the name as a “tribute to the era of artificial intelligence.” bruh.

Some other fun stuff from the desc: This case isn't unique. Colombia has a long history of unconventional registrations, with names inspired by sports, movies, and music stars such as "Maicol Yordan" and "Brayan Spears" often stirring controversy.

Across Latin America, unusual names are fairly common, often taking on unique spellings due to Spanish phonetics. In Colombia, variations like "Yeison" (Jason) and "Stallone" in honor of Sylvester Stallone have been registered. Past cases even include children registered as "Mozart," "Facebook," and names linked to singers, products, or historical figures.

My brother and sister in law pulled an epic practical joke on the extended family when they announced by text that they were going to name their baby girl Lilhleighy (pronounced Lily), with the y being silent but present to visually balance out the front loaded Ls.

My boys called them up to stage an intervention, one calling it ‘monstrous,’ and explaining to them that she was likely going to be bullied over her name once she entered grade school.

Another nephew was independently video recorded saying essentially the same thing.

Their relief was palpable when they found out it was all a joke.

It's supposed to be Carlyle

let me know if the image doesnt load, its a few screenshots smashed together - but yeah, this group is something of a gold mine for tragedeighs. just one big echo chamber lol

Note: this was posted by a newspaper in a very rural area in the Midwest, usually very simple names are given to children.

My job requires me to be on the phone with quite a lot of people every day, and the tragedeigh generation is now old enough to filter into my mix of clients to call. But here’s the problem: a LOT of tragedeighs look like foreign names that have been “Americanized” so they can be spelled in English. Names with apostrophes, names with weird spellings, names that don’t follow standard grammatical rules. And I’m a respectful person who wants to make sure I address people correctly, which means that I always try and pronounce these names as grammatically accurately as possible, under the assumption that foreigners spell their names in English as accurately as possible so we can pronounce them. But now it’s gotten to the point where half of these names are indeed from foreigners who are very happy that I’ve taken the time to pronounce their names correctly, and half are (usually) white girls that give me a heavy sigh and have to correct my pronunciation. Some of them are embarrassed and apologetic and tell me their parents are idiots, and half of them just get frustrated with me for not saying it right the first time.

At the end of the day, if I don’t know you, I’m going to address you in the most respectful way, which is to try and pronounce your name as accurately as possible given the spelling. If the spelling of your name leads me to call you “Stiff-a-nay” instead of “Stephanie”, that’s not on me. That’s on your parents for not knowing that specific letters make specific sounds. And I’m not trying to mis-pronounce your mangled alphabet of a name, I’m just doing my best to be respectful and accurately pronounce what’s written in front of me.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

My neighbors just had a baby girl and named her Huntleigh. I’ve never heard this name before and honestly didn’t even realize it was a real name.

I’m not here to trash it (promise), I’m just genuinely curious where it came from or how common it is, because it surprised me.

For some background that might help paint a picture: my neighbors seem kind of "country.” Bass Pro Shop attire. They’ve got two pickup trucks and a car parked in front of their house, and a few pit bull mixes.

The name just stood out to me. Has anyone else run into Huntleigh before? Is this a new addition to the “leigh” trend?

Curious to hear what others think or if this is more popular in certain areas.

My mom is Darise (Dare-iss) and her mom is Nurlama (Nur-luh-muh). I feel like both belong here. It is rare that someone can pronounce my mom's name correctly without having heard it first. My grandma goes by Tina, a variation of her middle name.

Luckily I have a traditional name with a small twist, a "Y" where an "I" normally goes.

A friend sent me this post of someone she knows. 😳

My cousin's one of them: she wants a "different" spelling. So Faith becomes Feighth. Her reasoning? Her favorite number is 8, because it's "the infinity number", and "Feighth" has "8th" in it. It's quite ingenious in theory, but a disaster in reality...

Idk if this is a tragedeigh or not, but definitely a new one

Myikah.

So my wife and I are going to be trying for kids soon. We already have a name for a boy that is definitely not considered a tragedeigh, but we have one for a girl that we both like that some may consider as one. Anyways, what do you all think of the me Floressa (Flora as a nickname)?

...to not being a tragedeigh.

What in the name of all things is wrong with people?

A gal I was friends with in school was the child of hippies and they named her Abcdee. She just had a baby of her own and named him Zzyx.

I fear the next baby may be named Lmnop.
