Anyone heard of this name?

I ran across a girl name spelled Abcde. And it has been given to over 300 girls! It is pronounced Ab-si-dee. Not sure what to think about this name but at least it will help them out with their alphabet! Very unique for sure!

Looks like one of those urban legend names like "Lemonjello and Orangejello". Where did you see this?

A friend told me they were talking about it on the radio so I googled it, and people actually named their kids this!

Just board stalking, but I used to work as a substitute teacher, and I've seen this name before.  c:

Maybe spelling it differently like absidee or absidy ... But abcde just looks ridiculous !

It is a recorded name. Last year it was given to 11 girls. The most girls named Abcde in a year was 32 in 2009.

"Lemonjello" "Oranjello" and "la-a" are urban legends and have never been recorded. They are racist in origin, so please if you are someone who brings one of those names up anytime there is a * bad name thread, please spreading racist myths.

Also. Please don't name your child any from or variation of Abcde. If you want a "unique" name, look for something outside the top 1000. Us nerds at the baby name board do like a challenge, but we will snark names we don't like, such as Abcde.

*sorry, incomplete thought, should be more readable now.

Ah, that would be tough to do to someone! That is a pretty crazy name, I think I prefer Apple and North to Abcde (in fact I know I do!) lol

Why is it a girl name?

*shrugs*
I'll have to remember that the next time I bring up what I want to name my son around my parents. There's always a worse name! Lol

Sounds like someone likes to brag about knowing the alphabet...

Lemongelo and orangelo are actual names - I personally know a girl that works in Indiana at a daycare center and has two brothers who are in her class and are named that. She couldn't believe it since its generally thought of as a made up story but swear they are real. I'm not sure of the spelling however.

Also just want to be clear there is no racism in my comment in fact the two boys are Caucasian before that goes any further. Just sharing because I couldn't believe it when she told me about it either

I can't with that name. Just no. Absolutely not.

That's how urban myths are perpetuated. Everyone personally knows someone who knows someone with those names. I have a nurse friend who told me the same thing. I didn't fall for it though

hdnetmro

I really don't care if you believe me or not that's up to you but it's fact in this case

Yikes, what happened to giving your child a name that suits them as an adult? "Abcde" on a job application will never be taken seriously.

It doesn't matter if the boys in your story are Martian, it's still a racist urban legend. As many times has someone claims they know a Lemonjelo and Orangelo, it's numerically impossible for all these people to be right because the names do not show up at all in SSA database. 

All I'm saying is, the dots on your ceiling spell gullible.

This is not an urban legend. I know someone who taught them in school....

A girlfriend of mine also processed a college application of a girl named La-a pronounced Ladasha.... Crazy, but true

Gullible is in the dictionary twice

This is the first time I am heading this name and personally I like it! It's different and unique.

I actually went to college with a guy named Gelo (pronounced jell-o) Orange- he played football for our school and he helped me through French class. Not Orangelo but close.

Edited for incomplete sentence
