People share the 10 silliest names that parents can give their child to set them apart

Spotlight for life

It is no fun being a part of the crowd in this world. People only have one life and all individuals at least want to live through one moment where they are the center of attention. Oftentimes, it is a difficult endeavor that involves either studying hard to top a class or doing something completely off the rails to get attention. Some though, don't need to go through so much of a hassle as their parents have taken care of it by giving them the whackiest name possible. This ensures that every time that person walks in the door, they will be attacked with hundreds of eyes set on them the moment they utter their name. All the spotlight one would ever need just because of a name. Getting the right 'stupid' name is not an easy feat for parents. This was evident by the answers given to the question posed by u/Guzzzler, "What's the stupidest name to name a child?" The responses reveal the amount of brain power required on the part of parents to give their children a spotlight for life.

1. Heaven? Nevaeh.

The number of people I’ve met in the last 10 years that have named their daughters “Heaven” backward. So Nevaeh u/Dry-Pepper-7656. I have a neighbor kid named Neveah. She’s 14, smokes cigarettes on the side of the house where she thinks nobody can see her and talks like a Cardi B song. Always nice enough to wave though. u/christmascandies. One of my cousin's kids is Nevaeh. She's a sweet, shy, kinda chubby kid who likes to look after her little siblings and drives her older sister crazy by dressing like her. She's so cute, so hopefully, she's the exception to your experience. u/majaji

2. Wrath of the Dragon, Khaleesi

All those Khaleesi parents watching in horror as Danaerys goes on her S8 genocidal, bat-sh*t murder spree. u/hummus_is_yummus1. A coworker I had had three children, one with a generic name, the other two? Tyrion and Khaleesi. u/SimpleNo2324

3. Words are out, Roman numbers are in

X Æ A-Xii u/BeepityBoopityBot. Anything that uses numbers or symbols instead of letters of the alphabet. u/Red_Marvel. To be fair though, his [Elon Musk] other kid "Techno Mechanicus Musk" doesn't have it much better. u/Mad_Moodin

4. Brand names

Rolex, Chanel, Mercedes and those 'brand' names. I'm just waiting to meet a little BestBuy one day. u/mad010ava. The brand Mercedes-Benz was named after Mercedes Jellinek, the daughter of the first person to commission the first modern automobile. u/atot806. Brand names: Bentley, Mercedes, Ruger, Chevy and the like. There are countless others but these four are ones I know personally. Even worse I think it’s Bentleigh. u/xeryon3772

5. Special case

So… weird connection? But as you know, New Zealanders are nicknamed Kiwis. This name straight away brought to mind the case of the nine-year-old girl, Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii. The NZ Family Court viewed the name as a form of child abuse (the girl had complained that she was afraid of being teased about it) and took legal custody of her “to ensure that a proper name was found for her.” u/thequickerquokka

6. Ascending order but in alphabets

Abcde. Someone told me it is pronounced "Absidy" which sounds like "ab city" to me. I think the first time I saw this was about a story involving a family wanting to bring their "support" rottweiler to see a mall Santa for their daughter named Abcde. Santa wasn't comfortable with the dog and refused to take a picture with the dog as well. It was a local story like 10 years ago so I don't think I can find it. u/LayYourGhostToRest

7. Parents putting out their frustration in naming

When I was in elementary school there were two sisters, their father named them “faswa and tagaa” which means fart and unheard fart in Arabic. Their father hated girls, he was so sad bout having daughters instead of sons so. u/Ready_revolution508

8. This parent was in love with William

I once met a guy named William W. Williams. Bet you can't guess what the middle name was. u/Mockturtle22

9. You think you know the intention but you don't

Maybe not the stupidest but met a family with three kids, sh*t you not in a serious face the mom introduced them as Earth, Wind and Fire. I said, oh like the band and there was a solid 10 seconds of silence followed by a NO, like the elements. u/HulkHoganLegDrop

10. Literal disease

Someone named their kid "Chlamydia Nicole", with "Chlamydia" being pronounced, "Shla-mihd-dya." All I gotta say is that there will be a kid that kills their parents. u/Blood_Oleander
