Not a baby name but I worked with a devops engineer who had dyslexia so all of our IaC variable names had misspellings in them. We just lived with it because it would have been expensive to teardown the resources and reprovision them with the correct spellings.
LaQuisha. I think there was an apostrophe or two thrown in there but I don't recall where or even the spelling exactly at that was ~26 years ago in highschool. I just recall the LaQ... There were several that I do not recall specifically ATM that seemed like their folks were trying to find the most unrelated syllables to link into a name. It was funny to me. It was a school in Tennessee designed for Uni prep that was supposed to uplift people in the surrounding poorer black community. There were several black students that acted like they always had a chip on their shoulder (aggravated, just looking for any excuse to argue or fight). These are the kids that typically had the most odd names. It was funny because I viewed them like the inverse of typical white trailer trash also present in the area but not at that school. The rednecks seemed to name all their kids some indecisive hyphenated name like Mary-Ann or Betty-Sue while the equivalently backwards black families went with stuff like Keishfonda and Quinmothy. Like y'all are doing the same thing thinking you're different.
I think the weird-ass names are an attempt not for the parents to be different, but a generally severely misguided desire for their kids to appear different in a "Wowee, that's special" kinda way. Everyone else has a 'normal' name. But not my kid; my child is so different and special and s/he's going places, s/he's gonna get out of here & do important things or be a famous athlete.
As we know, oftentimes that's simply not the case...and it's just a nightmare for the rest of us (and that child) to spell, say, etc. I find it incredibly frustrating, even though I know this wasn't their choice, but their parents'. If their last name is weird shit, I politely ask for the first name. If the first name is also weird shit, I politely make a best guess phonetic whatever & move on.
Fun fact, it's not exactly ghetto made-up name territory, but Oprah Winfrey.....isn't Oprah. Her given name is Orpah, named after a biblical figure in the book of Ruth. Very obscure, ancient name! Nobody knew how to spell or pronounce it properly, and they started calling her Oprah instead. 🙂 Now...we've got Oprah.
I haven’t met any one with a terribly spelt name but one girl I worked with was named America. Weird as hell if you ask me
Many people are named after places. This one doesn't feel weird to me atleast
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.
Not so much the spelling, just... I went to school with a girl who's father fled the law and they ended up near us in Canada... they were originally from a trailer park in Tennessee
Her name was "Dollarina"
Hopefully she didn't become a prostitute
Dollarina Cappocino
That name is a trajideh.
Literally the "why did mum name me Rose" meme.
I've encountered a lot of the reverse of this. Danielle pronounced "Dah Nell". Brittany pronounced "Brih Tanny". Jonathan pronounced "Joe Nathan".
Abcde (pronounced AB-sid-ee) was certainly memorable if nothing else.
I remember reading an article about an airport staff person ( possibly TSA? ) laughing about a little girls name. Same exact name. Crazy stuff that any parent could start their children at square -3 upon being born.
I’ve seen this name also in the wild. Girl was pretty fat too. Poor kid.
Oh dear lord no
I knew a guy once whose last name was "EA." Two capital letters. He pronounced it "Yeah." His first name was Rodrake.
I guess it wasnt in the name afterall
(Is it "ea sports its in the game or name"?)
Wasn't it, EA sports, it's in the lame?
EA Sports. It's the same game you bought last year with slightly updated graphics and rosters, but a whole new set of DLC to buy.
E A Sports, its in the blame!
For once I’m on the cop’s side.
Nothing could be worse than X Æ A-12.
There are a lot of reasons why musk should be (and soon enough will be) jailed, this is one of them. This is child abuse, literally
What makes you so confident?
Jewelee (Julie) because they wanted Jewel in there I guess
Why did I read this in Chris-Chans voice???? Why am I this brainrotted?
Even Jewelie would have been better despite being atrocious on its own
It sounds like theres two people named Ellie. One of whom is Jewish.
And they decided to distinguish her by calling her Jew Ellie.
Ah the original working name for the villain of 101 Damnations. Jew Ellie DeVille. That was Walt's contribution.
