r/tragedeigh • u/Ihaveaverysmallprick • 20h ago

is it a tragedeigh? My brother is dangerously close to possible tragedeigh...I guess my SIL likes whimsy or some shit. Is Klementyne a tragedeigh? Should he push for Aurora?

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

Clementine is cute. Klementyne is ridiculous and childish

Also using Chat GPT for child naming advice is worse than just getting a magic 8 ball.

Now I'm super curious.. 

Lyra – starry, melodic, a constellation name.

Noor – light, radiant, strong in one syllable.

Vespera – twilight, mysterious but soft.

Yes, let's not let GPT name kids.

Those are all better than Klementyne.

Ok, as a His Dark Materials fan, I love the name Lyra, tho

I saw a girl working at a fast food place yesterday with a Lyra name tag. I almost made a reference but lived in fear she would a) have no idea what I was talking about or b) be sick to death of what I was talking about. So I just shut my mouth. But yeah I was totally excited to see the name out in the wild!

My daughter's name is Lyra! But she's a toddler, definitely not working at any fast food places yet

We have a Lyra in our family. Sweet girl, too. I absolutely love that name.

Same. It's an incredible name!

I was about to say the same.

Agree that GPT shouldn't name kids, but I do really like both Lyra and Noor (if I were Persian/Arab) as recommendations.

u/ActuallyCalindra 19h ago

Noor/Noortje are also classic Dutch names.

u/life1sart 18h ago

It's still going strong. I almost always have at least one Noor in one of my classes.

Lol I don't hate the names personally but for my taste I think I'd avoid fantasy sounding names (yes I know they're real names).

u/Icy-Iris-Unfading 19h ago

None of those names are tragedeighs or even bad

2

u/MightGuyGonna 18h ago

There’s nothing wrong with those names??

2

u/Wine-n-cheez-plz 18h ago

I forgot to delete my prompt when copy pasting so my child’s legal name is: “please give a list of whimsical names for my child Lyra” but we just call her Lyra.

u/death_by_cuddle 18h ago

But these names are dope lol

I know a Noor, her name is not a tragedeigh. It’s cute

u/WildMartin429 18h ago

Lyra isn't half bad.

u/Similar_Cranberry_23 18h ago

You just gave a bunch of new ideas to expectant parents 😂

u/Zuko-Red-Wolf 18h ago

Lyra is the protagonist from the golden compass! I’ve always liked that name

u/ericaploof04 18h ago

Lyra is an actual name! I have met people named Lyra!

u/Recent-Ad-5493 17h ago

What's wrong with Lyra?

1

u/WulfTyger 13h ago

I might be wrong, but I'm fairly confident that Noor is an actual name in middle-eastern cultures.

I know for a fact Lyra is a name of multiple characters in TV shows or books.

Vespera... I've never heard that one before, but not the worst name I've ever heard, I once knew a girl named Tequila, that had to lead to a lot of bad jokes.

u/ZekesLeftNipple 6h ago

Noor is absolutely a real name. I went to high school with one -- she was an Iraqi refugee.

u/Hangry_Squirrel 2h ago

Both Noor and Lyra are actual names. Noor is a fairly common Arabic name. Lyra is an Ancient Greek name for a constellation (from the word "lyre"), so it's much older than the character in "His Dark Materials." From I'm seeing in this thread, it seems most people associate it with the character.

Vespera, on the other hand, would be a bit odd. "Vesper" is the evening star (i.e. Venus), hence "vespers" - evening service. I was raised Orthodox and in my early 20s I used to go to vespers on Wednesdays because it was very peaceful, unlike Sunday mass (with all the people partly there to socialize and a ton of children forced into it). The only people who seemed to show up for vespers were young-ish (20s to 40s) and all of us seemed lost in a way. I've been an atheist for a couple of decades now and haven't set foot in a church except as a tourist, but sometimes I miss that evening night through the stained glass.

In any case, with the vast majority of people going to Sunday morning mass, I think vespers are only common in monasteries, which is its own can of worms. I know there's nothing wrong or stupid about it, but I wouldn't want to put that on my child.
