What's the best/worst made up names you've heard?

Luckyu317 · January 2014

@stahlop, I had never heard it before. Thanks for the info. I'll admit it sounded ''made up'' to me.

BleubirdOnAWire · January 2014

I'm not sure if it's made up or not, but I just heard of a cousin named Laiken. It feels made up.

At work, one of the legal secretaries gave me a package that had to go a woman named Neisha at another office. This legal secretary used to work in this particular office, so she kind of knew this woman at one time, but not very well.

She said, "Her name is Neisha, but I can't remember if it's Neh-sha or Nih-sha. It's not Neesha. She's really funny about how her name is pronounced, so..."

Anyway, she determined that she thinks it was Nih-sha. I took the package over there for her, but I simply asked for Ms. LastName because I was NOT about to have her get snarky over my mispronunciation.

It's certainly not the worst name out there, but the situation made me think of this board.

But have you all heard of Lemonjello??
I've never met him, but I work with his brother Orangejello, they're twins you know.
)
I hear that Shithead is their neighbor!

And Shithead has a little sister named S'kynah...because she kinda looks like her mom and she kinda looks like her dad.

(My aunt swears these kids went to her school. UGH NO.)

Quote fail here.

I met a Dolton...his older brother was Colton.

Colton...and DOLTon. How stupid.

TyrinM03 · January 2014

We had a baby in the NICU at the hospital I work at named No'Wanda SheLived Miracle LN. She was a gestational diabetes baby so she was HUGE compared to the other NICU babies, but otherwise was fine and just needed some monitoring.

stop. seriously? what is wrong with people! you can't name your kid a sentence!!

smerka · January 2014

I saw a Bresden on a invitation in Pinterest. And a Hadleigh. Ugh

janneann1127 · January 2014

A friend named her kid Kohl.seph. Like Joseph but not. He goes by Kohl but ugh.. Every time I hear it I just cringe.

Omg, do we know the same person lol?! I live in savannah and this little guy is only a few months old. My husband thought it was the best name ever and was trying to pick awesome boy mn to sound equally as awesome. I just eye rolled. Thankfully we are having a girl

Lisa&Mark · January 2014

I love Brogan but would never use it b/c it's too close to DS name

nlp1990 · January 2014

I knew sisters Haze and Uneak.

srj88 · January 2014

I was watching Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta the other day, and one of the brides was named Latrina. I could not believe that one.

lcje97 · January 2014

I have a nephew named Seandrick.

hazelrora · January 2014

These are not so much made up but rather just ridiculous. When I worked at a daycare, one of my kids was named Dragen (pronounced Dragon). His sister in one of the older classrooms was named Pixie. I shit you not.

Smallstar · January 2014

I was just looking through recent birth announcements from my husband's hometown and found these gems:

Rryianni

Roxinghton

And a poor little girl named Gentry

ItsGreen · March 2014

My husband was teasing our niece because her best friend is "Bree" because it's like the cheese and her mom tells us the girl's full name is Briannalynn the whole thing as one name. Just the worst! I think that's how its spelled.

Also I've heard of girls, sisters named Rylee and Carsyn (pronounced Carson).

One of my co-workers has a grandson named Faxon.
She makes fun of the name on the regular though (not to her kid's face) but she will regulalry be like-- "if you need me-- I will be in the copier room Faxon these invoices"
I can't think of a made up name that I have heard that I liked.

I know a little boy with the middle name of Faxon ( it was his mother's maiden name) on him it works but he has a great first name that he goes by!

Jennifer&Nate · March 2014

I saw a tball team tshirt with the team names on the back. One of them was Ma'Randa. I'm guessing this is Miranda?

I also worked at a wedding venue for a while and we had a couple Uniques come through (which I thought was ironic).

MinnesotaMomma91 · March 2014

Someone i know is naming their sone jacon(prounced jason) because she couldnt decide between jace and jaxon so she combined the two. And its perfect cause she doesnt want her child to have a popular name...

Firemanswife11 · March 2014

I know someone who named their kid "Crixus." Like creek-sus. It's apparently the name of a gladiator. ... Also have heard of a La-a... Pronounced La-dash-a.

emmy236 · March 2014

Crixus is a bad ass gladiator that fought with Spartacus. The kid better hit the weights ASAP

I know a little girl with the middle name Danger. Her mom didn't specifically say this joke along with it, but I still thought it was a BA girl's name. Her first name is pretty, and nothing outrageous. Little sister's MN is Justice if I remember correctly.

saham07 · March 2014

Darthaniel , Bronxton, Kyeanna. (Cayenne-like the pepper-a) And Jaqsen (Jackson)

Spin313 · March 2014

There was a woman interviewed on the news named Airwrecka (Erica). What's wrong with people?

We almost went 3 pages without a La-a sighting!

I saw a screenshot of that turned into a meme that was shared on Facebook. I hoped it wasn't real, but I'm afraid it could've been.

==N== · March 2014

My first thought of airwrecka was a super villain running around with a smog gun wrecking all the air.

This reminds me of Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Where the witch lady said she changed her name to Latrine, and he's like "you changed it TO Latrine?" And she goes "Yeah, it used to be Shithouse."

LOL...that's such a great movie.

One of the best. Someone told me once I look like Tracey Ullman who plays Latrine and although she's a perfectly nice and normal looking lady, all I could think of was that character in specific, so I was like "Uh...thanks??"

I used to keep track of all the school bus logs for my state. There are a lot of really interesting names out there.

Shithead may not be real, but Shatheed is. There was one bus that had twins, ShaPrincess and LePrince. Also on the bus was Jermajesty. I assume they were cousins and that Jermajesty's mom was a big Jackson 5 fan. I have seen 5 variations of the name Daquan:
Daquan
D'Quan
Dockwan (personal fave)
DeQuan
Dekwan

We also had Chiquitita. Like the ABBA song.

+ASH+ · March 2014

I'm convinced somewhere there are little Lemonjellos and Oranjellos running around. Look at the names mentioned? Anything is possible and I am positive some woman saw the internet myth and thought, "That would be a damn fine name for my boy!"

sweetpeace13 · March 2014

Worst: Meelikee Donjohnson. I'm not kidding.

orangecrush32 · March 2014

My dad worked with a guy who's name was Nshit. Pronounced exactly how you think.

A friend of mine's Mom worked in the Nicu and she said once they named a girl Female (Fe (short e) -mal (short a) -ay). When asked, the Mom says she saw it on the paper and thought she would just write that (male or female).

anna&nicholas · March 2014

I work in a professional office setting. Frequently I have contact with a woman at another office and for a long time it was just over the phone. I always thought her name was La'Tanya (ew, but not the worst). When I finally saw her name on her email I found out if was Lil'Tanya! Not sure if this was her birth name (doubtful as she was at least 45 years old), but either way adding Lil to a name isn't ok!

Keri Marie · March 2014

Best: Wendy

Worst: Jaden (or however it's spelled.)

This is actually an urban legend - word for word

KayP79@msn.com · March 2014

I don't personsally know anyone by this name but I was scrolling the list of names that TB has to offer and saw the name Alexavier. My husband has Alexander and Xavier on his list so I thought this name would be a great mixture of the two! ( seriously joking) who sits and thinks of these names?
