I run into a lot of fairly unusual last names in my line of work but my personal favorite will always be EverybodyTalksAbout. It's not an uncommon last in some Native American tribes but there's nothing like having a kid with a grandpa who's name is Dick Everybodytalksabout. Aside from that it's mostly people in my family naming their kids stuff like Peace Sundancer, Freedom Butterfly (both are boys by the way) or, for some reason, Yakima.

Philthii Rich. I'm almost disappointed his new brother has a normal name.

Fucahoe, pronounced exactly like you'd expect it to be.

Seattle. We all live and/or work in Seattle so clearly this kid will never have to worry about people asking where they're from.

My brother wants to name his kid Boromir or Aragorn if it's a boy so I've been doing my darndest to talk him out of it.

Phlegmish posted:So...his partner's okay with those names? My sister-in-law is being diplomatic about it but no. She wants to go with James but my brother doesn't want to do that because they would all have J names and he doesn't want to be known as "the J's". It won't be an issue until next month when they find out the sex of their fetus but I refuse to have a nephew who will answer to "Hey Bro" like it's his actual name. My mom has offered up Freedom and Alphonse instead in an attempt to mediate the name dispute.

Aphrodite posted:Your family shouldn’t be allowed to name things. The only reason I have a regular name is because my dad managed to talk my mom out of naming me "Moon". Every father's day I get him a nice gift just for that. Some of my younger siblings didn't have that luck.

Lady Disdain posted:I've always believed that hideously feminised versions of masculine names are the worst possible names. The absolute worst "genuine" names in my mind are Thomasina and Albertina. Albertina is dumb since Alberta is right there. It does remind me that I went to elementary school with a Llyodina.

My baby sister has two first names, two middle names, and a hyphenated last name. Can't wait until we have to get her her first passport.

Lady Disdain posted:Your parents are monsters, and your sister's resentment towards them will grow steadily every time she's asked to provide her name. Same mom, different dads and a 20 year age difference. Pretty sure I told this thread once my first name was originally going to be Moon but my dad refused to sign off on it and they negotiated my first name. Mom got to chose the spelling, dad chose the name. My dad named me after his ex-girlfriend.

More like "Cynthia spelled Sinthiyah" but replace with a relatively popular 80s name.

I ended up reading the comments on a youtube video and a dude commented to say he almost named his kid Trieze, after the Gundam Wing character. I'm choosing to believe it was weird poo poo posting.

One of my brother's real first name is Frank but he goes by his middle name since he hates being named after his shithole dad but mostly because he thinks of it as an old man name and that no one under 30 is named Frank.

Mabel/Mable is also coming back in for girls and that's also a very matronly, sweater knitting grandma name.

My name is a medium popular 80s girl name with a special spelling because my teen parents couldn't initially agree on what to name me. My mom wanted "Moon" and my dad wanted his ex-girlfriend's name and they compromised by going with a version of dad's ex's name but my mom got to choose the spelling.
