@njfirst, I like Avah spelled with an h better (looks more fancy) I love unconventional/unique names, any “boy name” that can go male or female should only be used as a female name in my opinion. I prefer my boy names to be exceptionally masculine… Thank you for your input

Unique names for boy or girl that start with the letters 'S or R' preferably please. Some we have liked : Stormy/Stormi, Savior, Savely/Sav'lee, Ryze/Rise (Fathers Idea), Sienna, Soren. **P.S. I had a son in a past relationship ,who passed away due to still birth. His name is Royal. **

UPDATE: we have chosen the name Otto. Thank you all, especially X tina_40 for picking the winning name! Help us name our little cow cat. We want something easy to say that helps capture his outgoing personality. His older sister is Morgan but the names do not have to match. We are currently interested in ‘Bromeo’. No food names please. Unique, possibly science related? He is 2 months old and his currently named Wagu- and all of his siblings are beef related lol submitted by /u/aurumnleaf67 to r/NameMyCat [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! 😊 I’d love some help brainstorming baby boy names. Here’s what I’m looking for: First name that’s 2 syllables More unique, but still easy to pronounce/spell Needs to flow well with the middle name “Tony” (this is very special to us—it honors my husband’s brother who passed away 💙) Last name is Matz So the full name would be: First + Tony Matz I tend to like names that feel a little cool/standout, but not too out there or hard to say. Something people hear and go “wow, that’s a great name.” And if you have any “showstopper” boy names you’ve heard (the kind that really stick with you), I’m all ears! Thank you so much in advance 🥹🙏 submitted by /u/cloudmix to r/BabyNames [link] [comments]

I know my husband and I have a strange taste in names, but I really need some suggestions for a boy. Here is a list of names that we can't use because one or the other of us said no, it is too common for our taste or we already know someone with the name: Aeson Axton Atticus Axel Daxon or Dax Caspian Cairo Hayden Jax Kyro Lathan Leonidas Maddox Maddix Nikolais Reese/Rhys Stetson Thoren Titan Valen Valor Xavier Zavien There's more, but I think this gets the point across. I am so incredibly picky even though I hate being that way. Baby might have 2 middle names, and will have a more common "normal" middle name option to go by when they get older if they aren't a fan of how uncommon/unusual their first name is. I have an extremely common name, with an uncommon spelling so I have spent my life correcting people on my name, both pronunciation and spelling, so I do know what I am setting them up for in life. submitted by /u/anxietyescalates to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

I am having trouble coming up with a unique name for my new boy. He’s sweet and playful. I would like something more on the fancy/distinguished side. It can be something in a different language. Bonus points if it relates to a video or board game. I just want a name that I can also shorten or use as a nickname. Thank you! submitted by /u/midwest_bookworm to r/Catnames [link] [comments]

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is MysticalNinjette. She posted in r/tragedeigh Thanks to u/BakingGiraffeBakes and u/tinylumpia for the rec. Do NOT comment on Original Posts. Latest update is 7 days old. This is a longer post due to context in the comments. Trigger Warnings: discussions of racism and bullying Mood Spoiler: happy ending Editor's note: OOP clarified in a comment later that she didn't realize that there were two spellings of fiancé/e. She is married to a man but uses the incorrect spelling in her post. Original Post: July 13, 2025 Title: I'm pregnant and having a boy. Is "Gunner" a name that belongs on this sub? My fiancee says it sounds like a dogs name and I need to quit being stupid. My brother says it sounds like "gooner". I just want a unique name. Please tell me your honest thoughts. No I'm not white but the baby is going to be half white. I thought Gunner sounded like a nice white name. Middle name is going to be Alexander or lee. SOME MORE CONTEXT SO I CAN QUIT COPY PASTING IT IN MY REPLIES: I chose Gunner....or was going to...because my fiancee is white. My whole family including myself has very "Mexican" sounding names. And I grew up in a very white area. I got made fun of for my name alot. So did my brothers Enrique and Alberto. Some older kid once told them they sounded like off brand gay ninja turtles and i remember it made my younger brother cry. We always wanted white names. Now I love my name, but I really wanted to give my child a WHITE name. A cool WHITE name so they aren't made fun of either. Even though I know people are more we sensitive to ethnicity and stuff now, kids can still be cruel. Before these comments, I thought Gunner was a nice white name. And a cool sounding one. The comments have changed my mind. I also thought canyon was a classic "cool persons" white name too. But now I'm rethinking my idea of what constitutes as "cool" in white culture. Thank you for all your responses btw. Even the harsh ones. I know you all just don't want another embarrassing baby name out in the world. Some of OOP's Comments: [Editor's note: OOP had a LOT of comments. I tried to include ones that added more context and/or showed what the overall vibe of the comment section was like. The discussion also evolved into OOP's history and the bullying she faced] finalgirl21: First of all, you’re not being stupid. It’s a name you like, and you want your son to have a nice name. That being said: It isn’t a tragedeigh, but it is a bit of a dog’s name. I taught some Gunners, Strikers, and even a Major over the years. They all shared 1 thing in common: White parents obsessed with the military (not a bad thing or a good thing, just the truth). [...] OOP: You're so sweet. Thank you. I'll rethink it. You make.some.good points. We arent a military family lol Loose_Acanthaceae201: Gunnar is Scandinavian and used reasonably frequently in Nordic countries. It becomes Gunther if you go far enough south. Gunner is a possible alternate spelling but also a family name relating to heavy artillery. [...] OOP: (downvoted) Good point. Gunther is cool. But also reminds me of the gay pig with the accent on that kids movie Sing! nerdiqueen: I went to HS with a Gunner. Honey, I say this respectfully, it is a hillbilly ass white trash name. The Gunner I knew was also a white trash hillbilly. I saw other comments about honoring German heritage and there are a lot better names. Also, perhaps baby will still honor it if fiance has a German sounding last name. OOP: He has a VERY German sounding last name and most people can't even pronounce it. Very long too. Thank you for your response. Buckupbuttercup1: It won't be " unique" because parents that are desperate for attention are giving their kids tragedeigh/tragedy names. So many will have them,that names like Alexander and Samuel will be the "unique" ones. Gunner is a stupid,white trash name. Just call him Alexander, it's a nice name OOP: Samuel Alexander actually sounds like quite a nice name... Ok-Internet-921: My cousin’s name is Gunner. I’ve never particularly liked the name but he’s a pretty outstanding man if i have to say. Very respectful, very wise, very responsible. If you & your fiancé like it, who cares what anyone says. If you don’t agree on it, don’t use it 🤷🏼‍♀️ OOP: Aw. This is a lovely comment. Thank you. My fiancee hates it though lol. Class-More: Hey I belong in this thread! My name is Gunner and I absolutely love it. I was never bullied for it, I love my name, and even if everybody is lying about liking it, I couldn't give a hoot. Gunner is a nice strong name👍👍 OOP: Nice to meet you Gunner :) You have a wonderful derful attitude! There's another gunner on here who has an Equally positive and lovely attitude. I'm glad your name has served you well nothingbagel1: In law school, a "gunner" is a derogatory nickname for a total try-hard who raises his/her hand at any opportunity and sucks up to the professor. Just a note in case your kid ever wants to become a lawyer OOP: Oh wow I really didn't know that. Makes sense I saw another comment saying it sounds like an asshole in lawschool OkCut4614: What about "Gunner" sounded cool to you? Maybe there's some other names that have that same appeal that might be better. Alexander might be a better first name. Alexander Lee is also very acceptable since you like both for the middle name. OOP: I don't really know....it sounded cool and "tough" to me. Like a name that kids wouldn't pick on. And also unique. But I'm rethinking it now because of all the responses. Which I greatly appreciate. I wanted honesty. (And boy did i get it lol) thebearofwisdom: [after reading OOP's edit] This just made me so sad after I posted a comment thinking you were kidding around. I’m really sorry people made you feel like you wanted to be white instead of your own race, that’s a really horrendous thing to do to kids. I don’t think it’s an uncommon feeling when you get treated like shit for not fitting in. I don’t think the remedy is to name your child something “white” because he’s mixed race. It’s something that he will have to handle in his life at some point, people and kids are cruel as you know from experience. But I think favouring one side over the other is fair to a child with both his parent’s genetics. I can understand the fear you have, but honestly children make fun of every single name in history, and it’s no guarantee that any name would stop that. I had so much shit for my surname, because it’s foreign to where I was born. It’s not the same as your history but I get a tiny bit of that feeling. Kids just made up rhymes that were shit. And unfortunately unless you name your kid Orange they’ll always make rhymes out of names. OOP: Yeah that's why I've been copy and pasting posting the comment in replies for more context. Some people thought I was kidding or baiting but I'm really not. Also, I didnt really want to "be" white as I love my culture and always have, I just wanted to fit in in school. When I was young you g I think I wanted to be white but that just turned to wanting a normal white name and to not stick out as much. I mean I was the ONLY non white person in my town until I left Hs. There was one asian girl that people called "Mulan" but she wasn't in any of my classes. But I just wanted a white sounding name because his father but one that also sounded "cool" you know? Like tough so he wouldn't get picked on. Thank you for your comment. Pm_me_pet_pics_: You sound young, because no adult would care about a 'cool' sounding white name. (By the way that sounds like the racists who made fun of you are still I'm your head and you're dealing with the trauma of bullying) You were made fun of by white kids with white privilege and they made you ashamed of your rich Mexican heritage. I'm so frustrated that you went through that. You should be proud as FUCK to have those Mexican sounding names in your family. You want to give your son a unique name and went with "gunner lee"???? Where is your pride?! Your ancestors and parents have fought to give you a seat at the table and you're essentially throwing it away. The story of Mexico and the culture is rich and beautiful and you want to throw it away to give him the whitest sounding trashy mayonnaise name out there to 'honor' a white person? Bro- 'white' isn't a heritage, you're essentially succumbing to what white colonizers wanted you to be back in the 1500's when they invaded Mexico. Also- 'white' is not a fucking heritage it's a skin color. German is a heritage and although it's a long one, it is not filled beautiful tapestry that is the mexican one. Mexico indigenous peoples made amazing technological advancements like making land on water from the Aztecs in Tenochtitlan to farm, outlawing slavery before America and having the underground railroad run south, teaching the white colonizers how to farm and grow crops like corn. And way way more. Please don't give your child a 'white' name. I understand not wanting him to struggle or be bullied, but you're essentially letting your bullies win. P.S.: if he looks mexican and has a white sounding name he might get bullied more, in Mexico there are kids with names like "Naomi Jean Gutierrez" who get made fun of for trying to be white while obviously looking very mexican or indigenous. Look up the word "Pocho", your son is going to get bullied by Mexican growing up if you give him too white of a name. OOP: Damn. You sound like my parents. But the way you put it really struck me. I'd like to add, I am VERY proud of my ancestors and my heritage. I pray to Jesus Christ but also give thanks to my ancestors, because I am here thanks to the strongest of the strong. People who survived disease, war, colonization, mass murder, etc are why I'm here. You had to be tough as fuck to survive what they went through. I never wanted to be white...I just wanted to fit in as a kid. But you make a good point. Maybe the best point...I don't want my bullies to win and I suppose it could come off as that. My son is going to be surrounded by his mexican heritage. My family is huge and very proud. I'm first generation. My fiancees family is very very small so I wanted to honor his heritage in some way. But what's funny is even my fiancee says don't worry about picking a white name. He just wants a strong name. So it was more on my end and yeah you do make a good point...maybe I'm over thinking it because of my childhood bullies. Either way thank you for this. I was already planning on reconsidering due to all the comments and also my fiancee and brothers opinions, but yours really struck a nerve with me. So thank you I think I needed to hear that. pixelated_fun: You have extreme self-hatred. It almost sounds like you are with your fiance because you think it gives you proximity to whiteness. You should try to work out those issues so you don't pass them on to your child. OOP: What! Nooo I dont hate myself :( I love my heritage Now. And am proud of my ancestry and the very DNA that is made up of the strongest of the strong. Those that survived plagues and war and colonization. But as a child? Yeah I just wanted to fit in. My son will be bilingual by the time he starts school. My family is huge and very proud we all are. But where me and my fiancee live is 98% white. I just don't want him to go through what I did and also I wanted to honor my fiancees whiteness because I'm the first person on my family to be with a white man. I mean way way back, there was a great great great great grandma who married a random Austrian man but thats like wayyyy back in the family tree. But no I don't have self hatred for who I am, I wouldn't want to be anything else. And I'm not with my man because it "gives me proximity to whiteness" lol. You make me sound like a damn kkk member 😂 But I have realized reading some of these comments that my childhood bullying may have affected me more that I thought. I've since decided against gunner though Fiancé calling her stupid was out of line: Aw thank you for that. He said it half playfully but we talk shit back and fourth to each other. But yeah I didn't like being called stupid about that tbh. Even half jokingly. Maybe it's my pregnancy hormones making me more sensitive idk lol. To another commenter: Yes. When I first told him the name he texted me back saying quit being stupid our son isnt a dog lol Btw we both talk shit to each other, like joking around and just back and fourth shit. It's how we've always been since we met. I just got kind of sensitive to it this time maybe the hormones idk lol. I didn't tell him though. If I did hed apologize he's not cruel or anything he just talks alot of shit like I do lol. Top Comment: TragicaDeSpell: Gunnar is a perfectly nice Nordic name. Gunner is an asshole in law school that everyone avoids. Update (Same Post): July 16, 2025 (3 days later) More context: For the people saying I suffer from self hatred. I do not. I am very proud of my heritage. However I have come to the realization after posting this that my childhood experiences have affected me more than I thought. But for people telling me to seek therapy and dont have anymore kids, that's just mean please stop. [editor's note- can confirm. The comment section really devolved] Update: I REALLY appreciate everyone's comments and those who are leaving suggestions. I've been flip flopping back and fourth because while most people are against the name and make some WONDERFUL points, the few people who like it, and the few Gunners who have commented, also make good points and seem like wonderful people. I also showed my fiancee this post which has REALLY taken off and he's been laughing has ass off for an hour -_- Y'all have really helped to give him a confidence boost he never needed lmao Mini Update in Comments: July 19, 2025 (3 days later, 6 from OG post) Swimming_Promotion10: Have you picked a name yet? OOP: No :( and I don't got much time. People have made some good points both ways, I've gotten some good alternatives (Jonas and Samuel being two of them) , but now I have people chiming in saying I should go with Gunner Because so many people are telling me not to. And to "have a backbone". And at the end of all of it is a little baby boy I want to have a good life with a good name. Not get made fun of by having a "too white" name if he looks more like me (king of like a reverse version of the Baldwin aka baldwinito kids), or having a "too ethnic" name and getting made fun of like I did in elementary and middle. Plus my pregnancy hormones are making me overthink. Plus I get anxiety about little things sometimes...or things that others would consider little. I consider this a big deal though. On the bright side my fiancee apologized for the "don't be stupid comment" after reading my post. He said he didn't mean to come off as too harsh he was just playing around and he backs me on whatever I pick. ..which is sweet but also not very helpful lol Update Post: December 26, 2025 (5.5 months later) Title: 5 Months Ago I posted About Wanting to Name My Child Gunner. (A Message To The Sub) There's my original post. It got...quite alot of attention. Well, I had the baby and he is beautiful and perfect and such a joy. He's busy doing what babies do and, I hope, enjoying his new name. But his name isn't Gunner. When I posted here, I was originally hoping to get responses telling me how silly I was to post here, that it's a great name and my brother was just being an asshole. That's obviously not what happened. And though most y'all were harsh, the message/spirit of this sub got through to me. Our children have to grow up with these names for the rest of their lives. A name shouldn't be something to make the parent feel "unique" or "stand out" just for the sake of it. So, we named our son Samuel. (The name of my partners deceased father). Ironically, I've gotten many compliments on how refreshing it is to hear such a classic and "strong" name! And people even say he looks like a Samuel! I also adore his name and think it fits him perfectly. He's a very chunky smiley baby with his dad's bright blue eyes and my black hair and idk...he just looks like Samuel/Sammy. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you, to everyone who commented and gave input. I used to be one who would give advice to my friends who wanted more "normal" baby names to just "pick something unique" or "spell it different" to stand out. (One of my close friends daughters name is "Braxlynn Leh" and I feel kind of bad now for telling her it was unique and "flows"). So, Thank you everyone for converting me, one day Im sure baby will thank you all too lol And Merry Christmas! Some of OOP's Comments: pgcotype: (top comment) I'm glad you picked another name for your baby. It shows character to listen to others' opinions on the topic and change the name you originally wanted. OOP: You're so sweet. I really am thankful for this sub because I truly feel like without it, I would have stuck with Gunner. Now I feel like it was the hormones talking because it really does sound like a dogs name. Gifted_GardenSnail: I'm happy for Samuel and sad for poor Braxlynn Leh (rhymes with Meh?!) OOP: No, it's pronounced "lay" like the chips. My Gosh I really feel so bad for cosigning that too 😭 If it redeems me at all, I talked her out of spelling it like Braxlynn-Leh with the hyphen in it. To another commenter: Leh like "lay". Idk I really thought it did flow idk why now! This sub really opened my eyes I'm telling you! In my defense that was 3 years ago when I said that because she just turned 3 a few weeks ago. Qstrfnck: This is a success story for this sub, atta girl for setting ego aside and welcoming sense into your process! OOP: ❤️ I really went through the process of grief with that name though cause I was kind of set on it. 😂 My brother (the one who said it sounds too close to gooner) is the one who said get a second opinion so I posted here. But at first I was in denial and actually doubled down on gunner lmao. janelane982: My mom used to say. It's parents who have normal simple names that give their children unusual and difficult names. She had an unusual name. She had to spell and tell people how to pronounce it her whole life. OOP: Interesting. My name is not normal, simple, nor easy to spell. But I attributed that to my parents being cultural more than anything so, as I said in my original post, I wanted a unique name but one that sounded very "American" so they wouldn't get bullied. Obviously I think I originally overcompensated 😬 3lue3onnet: Name your next pet Gunner if you still really like the name. OOP: I do not like the name lol The comments on my original post have completely gotten the love I had for that name out of me. This sub is amazing , but they certainly do not hold back on opinions lmao 🤣 redstart514: Samuel is a wonderful and classically masculine name. You’ll never tire of it and he will never be teased. …My neighbor’s dog is named Gunner. :) OOP: I don't think I mentioned this in my last posts comments but I actually learned from my partners mother that gunner was the name of a horse that kicked my mans little brother in the head as a child. (He survived). Idk why he didn't tell me that but I suspect he secretly thought it was hilarious because wtf lol submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Reminder / Disclaimer (ie. I am not OOP, no brigading, etc) This was originally posted to r/tragedeigh by u/MysticalNinjette.

OOP to #1: Aw shit Commentor #2: “A nice white name” is SENDING ME. Omg…girl we need to talk because what..? Spoiler Alert for the update but here is possibly where she got the idea for the actual name she chose: Commentor #3: It won't be " unique" because parents that are desperate for attention are giving their kids tragedeigh/tragedy names. So many will have them,that names like Alexander and Samuel will be the "unique" ones. Gunner is a stupid,white trash name. Just call him Alexander, it's a nice name OOP to #3: Samuel Alexander actually sounds like quite a nice name... Commentor #4: Gunnar is a perfectly nice Nordic name. Gunner is an asshole in law school that everyone avoids. Commentor #5: Gunnar is Scandinavian, "Gunner" sounds like a yeeyee MAGAt name belonging to a white family that thinks the government is going to storm their house and take all their guns thanks to blue hair liberals. Also, I work at a dog boarding place, Gunner is a name I see a lot for dogs Post Update: 5 Months Ago I posted About Wanting to Name My Child Gunner. (A Message To The Sub) There's my original post. It got...quite alot of attention. Well, I had the baby and he is beautiful and perfect and such a joy. He's busy doing what babies do and, I hope, enjoying his new name. But his name isn't Gunner. When I posted here, I was originally hoping to get responses telling me how silly I was to post here, that it's a great name and my brother was just being an asshole. That's obviously not what happened. And though most y'all were harsh, the message/spirit of this sub got through to me. Our children have to grow up with these names for the rest of their lives. A name shouldn't be something to make the parent feel "unique" or "stand out" just for the sake of it. So, we named our son Samuel. (The name of my partners deceased father). Ironically, I've gotten many compliments on how refreshing it is to hear such a classic and "strong" name! And people even say he looks like a Samuel! I also adore his name and think it fits him perfectly. He's a very chunky smiley baby with his dad's bright blue eyes and my black hair and idk...he just looks like Samuel/Sammy. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you, to everyone who commented and gave input. I used to be one who would give advice to my friends who wanted more "normal" baby names to just "pick something unique" or "spell it different" to stand out. (One of my close friends daughters name is "Braxlynn Leh" and I feel kind of bad now for telling her it was unique and "flows"). So, Thank you everyone for converting me, one day Im sure baby will thank you all too lol And Merry Christmas! Some comments: Commentor #1: "Braxlynn Leh" Just puked in my mouth… Well, glad you've at least seen the light! Commentor #2: I thank the gods every day that my 1st grandchild was born a girl. If she had been a boy, her name would have been Riot Gunner. When they finally had a son, they gave him a reasonable name. OOP to #2: Riot was actually a name i once considered for a short period 🤣 that's hilarious Commentor #3: Luckily it didn't become Shameuel Commentor #4: Gunner is just not a name I would wish on a Child. Now my brother and an uncle are called Gunnar but then we are Nordic and that’s a real and lovely name. Wouldn’t recommend it in America Reminder - I am not OP. submitted by /u/theoriginalshew to r/BORUpdates [link] [comments]

My partner really likes the name Yuki. We named our lynx point girl Hana, which means flower or blossom in Japanese. He thought Yuki would be a great name for him, as it means snow or happiness in Japanese. Whenever I call out Yuki, I can't help but think of Doocky! 😂 I’d love some help coming up with a unique name. I’m looking for something in Japanese, but it doesn’t have to be. I’d prefer to avoid popular names like Snowball or Casper. Thank you! 🫶🏼 submitted by /u/Small_Trust8610 to r/WhiteCats [link] [comments]

I found out im having a baby boy, its my first baby but i cant find any boys names i actually like. i want something ive not heard much i dont think anything is too unique. me and his dad are quite weird, were not normal at all so nothing ‘normal’ would suit this baby i wouldnt think (obviously within reason he’s still going to grow into an adult human) if he was a girl she was going to be named Siren (after the mermaids) if that helps any. submitted by /u/xbutteredtoastx to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

We’re trying to find a name for our baby boy that will be here in November and we’re really stuck on names, nothing feels quite right. He will probably have a big personality like our daughter has (and me and my husband), so we don’t want something too plain, but we also don’t want something too out there either submitted by /u/OpticalDellusion_ to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

My fiancee says it sounds like a dogs name and I need to quit being stupid. My brother says it sounds like "gooner". I just want a unique name. Please tell me your honest thoughts. No I'm not white but the baby is going to be half white. I thought Gunner sounded like a nice white name. Middle name is going to be Alexander or lee. SOME MORE CONTEXT SO I CAN QUIT COPY PASTING IT IN MY REPLIES: I chose Gunner....or was going to...because my fiancee is white. My whole family including myself has very "Mexican" sounding names. And I grew up in a very white area. I got made fun of for my name alot. So did my brothers Enrique and Alberto. Some older kid once told them they sounded like off brand gay ninja turtles and i remember it made my younger brother cry. We always wanted white names. Now I love my name, but I really wanted to give my child a WHITE name. A cool WHITE name so they aren't made fun of either. Even though I know people are more we sensitive to ethnicity and stuff now, kids can still be cruel. Before these comments, I thought Gunner was a nice white name. And a cool sounding one. The comments have changed my mind. I also thought canyon was a classic "cool persons" white name too. But now I'm rethinking my idea of what constitutes as "cool" in white culture. Thank you for all your responses btw. Even the harsh ones. I know you all just don't want another embarrassing baby name out in the world. More context: For the people saying I suffer from self hatred. I do not. I am very proud of my heritage. However I have come to the realization after posting this that my childhood experiences have affected me more than I thought. But for people telling me to seek therapy and dont have anymore kids, that's just mean please stop. Update: I REALLY appreciate everyone's comments and those who are leaving suggestions. I've been flip flopping back and fourth because while most people are against the name and make some WONDERFUL points, the few people who like it, and the few Gunners who have commented, also make good points and seem like wonderful people.

I have struggled with infertility for the past seven years. We had given up and just come to terms with the fact that it was not in our cards. Fast forward to today and we are 16 weeks pregnant. We are having a boy and would like to choose a name that is special, unique, and NOT trendy. We liked Theodore because it means “Gift from God” and we feel that this baby truly is a gift! But it’s trendy and as a teacher, I don’t want my son to be in a class with multiple “Theos” submitted by /u/LiveVegetable1817 to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

I have a unique name. In my life I have been made fun of, teased and just bullied for my name. It isn’t a big problem but it does start to take a toll. It is your responsibility for naming your child, and you might find a name that you find cute and unique. But keep in mind that they’ll be the one that deals with the teasing and bullying because it’s different, complicated, or anything like that, especially feminine boy names or old girl names. Kids are mean and adults joke around. Even if it is just a light joke here and there, it starts to weigh up after a while. Take 5 to consider if your name choice is for you, or for your child. submitted by /u/Business_Fly_6616 to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

German Shorthair Pointer, we will hunt with him but not looking for a cheesy hunting name, we were thinking Romeo but want something two syllable, please help!! submitted by /u/Prudent_Traffic2927 to r/NameMyDog [link] [comments]

What the title says. I've noticed that a lot of the names here considered "tragedeighs" are real names that are "unique", ethnic, or old. If they are spelt like tragedeighs in their language or culture, then they would be tragedeighs. For example: Justus is a real German or Dutch boy's name of Latin origins meaning "upright” or “just.” Juztyz is a tragedeigh. Crispin is also a real boy's name of Latin origin meaning curly-haired, and comes from the Roman surname Crispinus. Cryspyn is a tragedeigh. Elizaveta is the Slavic rendering of the English girl's name Elizabeth. Elyzabythe is a tragedeigh. Thurston originates from the Old Norse Þórsteinn, derived from the Old Norse words for "Thor" and steinn meaning "stone", "rock." Thurssstynne is a tragedeigh. "Unique," ethnic and old names are not tragedeighs, even if you think they are tragic. submitted by /u/lobster5767 to r/tragedeigh [link] [comments]
