Post your facebook, hospital & other name horrors here

starlight8323 · January 2011

Per this thread, we're hoping to condense a lot of the "gawker" threads into one! We thought this would make them more fun to browse and the board an easier read. We'll start a new thread every day to keep the list fresh.

Anyone is welcome to add to the post--local hospital names, the awful name you over heard at the park, Facebook horrors, and anything else that might give us a good chuckle! Feel free to comment, too.

Sib set Amariah (they are proud to have made it up) and Takaiah Grace. Tongue Tied

I guess they are pretty in a made up kind of way.

Bronwyn

Actual legit name with legit spelling. It's Welsh, and translates something like "fair-breasted." Personally I prefer Branwen, which has a similar pronunciation, similar origin, but different meaning ("white raven" or "fair raven"). It was the name of Bran the Blessed's sister, in Welsh mythology.

I actually love this name! I've thrown it out to my husband a couple times, but he's not sold because our last name starts with a B.

Celeri - yes, like the vegetable but with an "i".

Bronwyn is a legitimate name. I love it, but DH does not.

Bronwyn

Yup. Real name. A character in one of my favorite books, How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn (spelled Bronwen).

A friend had twin girls two days ago: Gabrielle (Gabby) and Izzabelle (Izzy). Both are pretty names imo, but I don't understand why she butchered Isabelle...

Evan (for a girl)

King

And best of all...

Traylor. Maybe they wanted to name him after the place they grew up? IDK.

I love the name Bronwyn...but we don't want to use it because our last name starts with Br...

I just found out from a friend that a mutual friend named her little girl Tahia. We couldn't figure out how to pronounce it. Maybe Ty-ah? Tah-hee-ah? Tay-hi-ah?

Rhymes with crazy, poor child.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably one of those "I want to use this nickname but to do so it HAS to have the same letters in the full version!" things...even though "Izzy" was already a legit NN for "Isabel" and all variants thereof.

I love Bronwen myself.
