          I have no interest in having children, and if I did I wouldn’t name them Tayden, but if somehow both of those things were true, I certainly wouldn’t spell it Teighden.

      Once had a friend who said she had 3 middle names. Then she said what I thought I heard as Julianne. I thought she was joking and laughed at her joke.

      Then she got mad, called me stupid, then clarified that her 3 middle names were Jewel Lee Ann.

      I still thought she was joking. She was not.

    “Breighdone” (Brayden) is probably the most egregious one I haven’t brain-bleached yet.

        I’m now thinking of that classic post from the old site that shows someone’s painstakingly cursive-written note of the entire text of a bluescreen (the old bluescreen with a lot of characters on screen) for tech support.

        And thinking of a slightly more tech inclined grandma who doesn’t quite get all of it having a problem with a torrent and just reading the infohash/magnet link to the ISP’s support call center.

      I know a Paris, a Virginia, and a Georgia, just off the top of my head. Location names are weird, but not unheard of.

        Those were all human names first. Places named after people, not the other way around.

        I was briefly married to a Georgia, but the family wasn’t Southern. The fathers name was George and that is also what he named his first son, so his first daughter was Georgia.

        Never have understood the phenomenon of fathers passing down their name, you’ve already cursed your child with the family name, why make things harder on the poor whelp?

            I know plenty of women that carry an old school second name because there grandmother’s names are passed down. Like Elisabeth, or Rose or the like.

              You must be able to see that giving your daughter your mother’s name as a middle name is not at all the same as giving your son your own name?

        The names were first. The locations are named after names.

        Even America was a name first.

          If I had to bully her I’d call her Latrine

        I also had a coworker named America and I’m pretty sure her parents were immigrants - English was pretty clearly not my coworker’s first language. I think it works for her situation. (Funny enough, it was her reckless behavior that caused me to spend my last few weeks at that job on light duty…)

        There’s also America Ferrera, I don’t think the name is that weird.

        I understand naming a kid after a city or region/state but a country seems a little far.

    Never knew anyone with a weird spelling but I knew a dude who had the unfortunate name of Harry Butt. Already bad enough your family name is “Butt” but his parents did him hella dirty naming him Harry.

    Was always funny getting a sub thinking he was just fucking with them tho.

      Butt is actually a common Kashmiri last name. If he was from India/ Pakistan that night make sense
