Well, aren't you special

He's saving himself for marriage.

my kid goes to daycare with a kid named Riot. What the actual **** were the parents thinking? As an adult he's got to change that right?

Is that kid....quiet?

I met sisters (southern Iowa) once that were named Charity and Chastity.

Are they related to the Dyck Family?

It cracked me up when Letterkenny came out with those characters. Unfortunately the real life Chastity and Charity didn't have any other siblings/family with interesting names.

Knew a kid named Crist (pronounced with a long i). It was a little awkward for the teachers at school. Parents called him "Boogie"....


You can't make this stuff up.

I got this idea from an entertaining Reddit thread...

What is the weirdest kid name(s) you have personally witnessed? I'm not talking urban legends (Twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello) or any of Elon Musk's kids' names.

I have a few, all from working in an urban school district in Illinois:

-Pepsi (self-explanatory)

-Hitachi (was the first thing the parents saw when trying to think of a name their VCR brand or something?)

-Sobriety (the mother was addicted for 8 previous kids, but not for this one!)

My wife had a student with the first name Chinesegirl. She wasn't Asian.

that may be an urban legend now, but it's actually happened. I've seen it. The spelling wasn't like that though.

My wife's cousin is a pediatrician, and is of the opinion that every hospital should employ a middle schooler to tell parents all the ways their name choice will go sideways as their kid grows up.

The Maverick I know of wasn't born in '03 so no, not the same one.


I haven't seen either topgun movie and have no desire to, so that character (or John McCain) isn't what I think of when I hear "maverick." I think of the trait. And naming a child based on trait (e.g. Charity, Patience, Prudence etc.) is much less common now so that makes it a little odd to me. Plus, I don't view "maverick" as a good thing. Because it means "independent" but I also associate it with being reckless, not thinking things through, and being too independent.

So to my ear, naming your child "Maverick" is like naming your child "Rude" or "Impatient."

This is my daily reminder that I have no idea the different thought processes other people go through and how other people think completely different than me which is a good thing. Maverick is honestly becoming one of the more popular boy names Ive heard in rural Iowa so I was very confused why it was mentioned here.

Vagina (va-Gina) and Penis (Pen-ise). Feel horrible for those kids.

 

[cyadict]

At my job I run into some fine examples. Some of my favorites are Barb Dwire, Robert Roberts, Hammurabi Blood, and Lucas Sky Walker.

I know a family who had a son during the heyday of the Game of Thrones craze. Named their kid Tyrion.

Yep, inspired by a fictional character who was a sex-craved, dysfunctional imp. Lovely.

I had never heard it as a name until this thread. I hadn't heard Kinnick as a name either until today, but I left Iowa a long time ago.

I'll keep my opinion of both to myself.

Many moons ago when I worked in medical billing I came across the name MamaRapALil. Thats it, one name only.

It's trendy because of Tom Cruise, and sounds western-y. It's the 2023 version of Austin, Dallas, Houston.

And yet it was too politically incorrect to be the Marion HS mascot...

Kid in my daughter's elementary school class was named Arson. Talk about tempting fate...

He asaulted and choked kids in class, broke another kid's arm, ran around stabbing kids and teachers with pencils, and the list goes on. Luckily, no fires though.

Stupid parents often have stupid kids.
