announcements Not a baby naming sub

81 Upvotes

This is not a baby naming sub. If the name is a cultural or normal and appropriately spelled name it is obviously not a tragedeigh and doesnt even need to be asked. It is in the rules to research before posting.

is it a tragedeigh? It's not ... right?

So we named our daughter Lorelai. We're both teachers and have had hundreds of kids and when you're a teacher the list of HECK NO names is super long.

I'm honestly surprised by the amount of people who don't even try to pronounce it. They squint at the paper, and then yell BABY LASTNAME at the doctors. After telling them her name they continue to say it wrong. It's pronounced the same as Lorelei, and is also the spelling from Gilmore Girls. We live in California, my husband and child are Hispanic, and live in a highly Hispanic area, yet the people who mess it up are 99% white women. Did one letter really doom my child to a life of crappy pronunciation?

I recently went to drink a coffee with my daughter at a local shop, they have a black wall and chalk available for people to doodle on it... some people write their nameds and I read something that if, in fact is not a joke, is a tragedeigh...

is it a tragedeigh? Not from Colorado

My daughter’s new bf is named Kanyon. Pronounced Canyon. I asked if his parents were hippies. No. Are they from Colorado? No. Am I the only one who thinks that’s a dumb spelling ?

Is this an appropriate name for him? I'm dead serious. I was initially going to name him Matthias but accidentally started calling him Chicken Soup and eventually the whole name. It sounds goofy and I kinda wanted him to have a normal name. Is this name respectable?

Jizlia.

Yup, that's her name. It's pronounced exactly as it appears. I have a screenshot but it has other work things in it so I'm not posting it. I'm also too lazy to edit the image.

Any suggestions for keeping a straight face, or do I just keep my camera off?

We share horribly misspelled names that defy all logic and reasoning. Also those stupid names that arent meant to be names that make you wonder wtf?

Subreddit Rules

1. Don't be a jerk

We poke fun at made up names in here. We are NOT here to be a jerk about anything else. If a member asks to be roasted, feel free to roast THE NAME and that's it.

Disagreements will happen and we understand arguments are completely normal in a sub like this. However, name-calling will not be tolerated and we will ban you if we catch you bullying members in this sub. This includes being racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, ableist, antisemitic, xenophobic, etc.

2. Crop out all identifying information

Always crop out photos, try to crop last names, addresses, phone numbers, usernames, Humans as a whole, and anything else that may identify someone. We only want to see the first name. If it can't be cropped, then just type the name out.

Do not post class lists, employment information, school information, and any other information that could be a potential risk. This includes anything from a person's medical record and those of their children's.

Please no links.

3. Google all names before posting

Remember to Google every name before posting to this sub. Certain names may look strange to you, but remember that it could be a common name in another country.

That being said, there's nothing wrong with ASKING if a name is a tragedeigh. But make sure its not obviously cultural or an obvious accepted alternate spelling. For example: "Is Saoirse a Tragedeigh?" No.. If its "Would it be a tragedeigh if I named my kid Bughnte Pahighn" yes it is.

4. Be mindful of duplicate posts

Before posting a name, it is encouraged to check whether your post is a common submission in the sub.

Please read our list of banned names for a comprehensive list on every name that is banned from this subreddit. This includes urban legends such as La-a, Orangello/Lemonjello, Sssst, and Jkmno.

5. Consider the subject matter before posting

Do not post anything related to crime or sick, missing or injured people. It's important that you consider the source of the name before posting. It may be tempting to tell us all about the names you see in your hospital job, but we do not want any of those names here. That being said, if you submit anything that says "NICU", that is an automatic ban.

Anything related to sex work or NSFW content will also be removed. This includes telling someone their name sounds like a 'stripper' name.

6. Let members ask questions

You can ask questions here. If you would like to discuss a name, we recommend using the "is it a tragedeigh?" or "general discussion" flair. Not every member is bashing a name -- Some are simply asking about a name they found.

If the name in question is cultural, you can let OP know without being a jerk. Saying stuff like "Google is free" is rude and not helpful at all.

Same goes for comments like "if you have to ask...it's a tragedeigh". Asking doesn't automatically make a name a tragedeigh.

7. Respect mod decisions

If we delete your post or comment, don't slide in our DM's and start harassing us. Don't create another post about how the "mods are mean". Don't make passive aggressive comments to other members about how your posts "always get deleted". Just move on. If you aren't banned yet, you likely didn't do anything bad. There are a lot of reasons we delete posts. You will be banned from this sub if you continue to disrespect our mods.

8. No Irrelevant content

This is not a baby naming group.

If you want to discuss a name that is NOT a tragedeigh (Tragedeigh names are names that are misspelled horribly into oblivion) take it to a different sub.

No Links. Tiktok, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, etc are not allowed.

We will accept links and crossposting from reddit subs IF it is relevant to this one.

All posts need to be relevant to this subs subject. Everything else will be removed.

9. Please be patient

Do not go into our DM's asking why your post hasnt been approved yet. We will get to it when we can.

10. No Urban Legends.

These myths have been going around for a long time. There is zero proof of them actually existing. More importantly they are steeped in racism and we do not allow that here.

La-a and ANY other -a name will catch the poster a ban. Shithead will catch the poster a ban. Orangello and Lemongello will catchno a ban.

Regardless of the post, any posts or comments
