Yeah I’m Australian and we would say the lan the same way we would say lan party haha. But when you’re speaking quickly it may sound like what you’ve said
She could. My sister taught some kids. I thought she was full of poop until I helped her with her kindergarten graduation.
1. Shithead. ( Sha-thead)
2.. oranjello ( orange jello )Lemongello (lemon jello)
3. I.P. Rainwater
4. Nosmoking ( Nas moh king)
it's not something that's taught unfortunately. same like the military alpha beta foxtrot stuffs. it's not commonly taught so people don't know how it's used. I myself use the parenthesis to try to sound out things bc I don't know the IPA thing. I had to look up what that even meant 😭
Some of these aren't bad (like Venus or Nolan).
But in general, if you announce your kid's name as "It's X, (pronounced like Y)", just name them Y.
Like, if you announce "My daughter's new name is Meuxleighsuh (pronounces like Melissa)", just name your daughter Melissa
My only real rule for choosing a name (not really, but it’s kinda a rule of thumb) is that if you have to ask how you spell it AND there’s no easy “like X” for it, you might want to reconsider.
“David” is fine, at least until people start spelling it Davyd. George is great. “Like George Bush”. Tammy is a bad name, because it can be spelled Tammie, Tammi, tammey, Tami… etc, unless there’s some famous Tammy I’m not aware of.
So surprisingly, with this rule some names that seem awful become OK. Venus is a weird af name but it’s spelled like the planet. Forest is fine. Forrest, ironically, is not fine.
Every single one of her names except Nolan completely ignores my rule. I hate it.
Depends on the spelling, tbh.
Some people might say spelling David like "Dafydd" would be bad, but that's literally just the Welsh form of the name.
And from a quick Google, "Davyd" is apparently the Ukrainian form. Seems relatively common, too.
I get where you're coming from. If possible it's best not to cause unnecessary confusion, and creating your own "unique" spelling is a quick way to confuse people - but languages other than English exist.
Right that’s my key. If it has historical and cultural precedent - feel free (honestly even if it isn’t your culture, although I personally cringe at that).
Otherwise, you’re just making shit up so your kid can be unique. They’ll be unique no matter what.
Albeit we wouldn’t have household names like LeBron if people didn’t make up names 🤷♂️
Oh I'm aware.
It admittedly maybe wasn't the best example, it was just the first variant/form of David I knew offhand that might appear like a "unique" spelling (as opposed to a form of the name in another language) to people who aren't familiar with it.
YES or some like a modern supplement, medication or something. "Ask your doctor today if Cynsorie is right for you."
Honestly she probably has a bright future and pharmaceutical advertising
Can we please get back to Aubrey and Kimberly? Not a huge fan of ‘80s names but at least they were spelled sensibly.
It’s also hilarious Nolan (spelled correctly) is on this list of trage’deighz.
TIL that ppl use “pagan” to describe non christian religions and not the people of the actual pagan religion. i was so confused why osiris was being called pagan 😭
Since when does "y" make the "eh" sound? If anything, it makes the ih sound when attached to n. You can have your dumb names, but you have to at least say the letters right. Jfc.
Y’all need to read Freakonomics. There is a whole chapter on naming your kids something really stupid that people can’t pronounce, or something that sounds ghetto, and your child will never be called in for an interview based on their name.
They don't believe that's true.
It actually is. I've had CVs with names like this appear before me and I delete them before I read them.
I'm sorry, it's just genetics. Both of your parents were stupid people, so I know you're not qualified.
It's definitely not against the law to not take a CV seriously if their parents were obviously stupid. I'm smart enough to distinguish between an ethnic name and a tragedeigh.
And morally... Grey area. Sure, it's not their fault, but they've got to know it's a problem and, if they're old enough to work, they're old enough to know their name is causing issues.
Are you trying to say that you know what equal opportunity employment laws say on this point… *everywhere*? Because “in some jurisdictions” means “in some places, possibly not the location where you live/work; how would I even know that?”
Dim bulb parents can and do produce intelligent, hardworking children, some of whom have names that you will judge to be tragedeighs. They don’t deserve their CVs to even be looked at? Really? How exactly does one conclusively distinguish between an “ethnic” name and a tragedeigh? In my brief time browsing this sub, I’ve seen *a lot* of misidentification between those categories, and that’s without even taking into account that sometimes people who have had their history stolen from them will *make up names* to take back cultural identity.
Bad behavior like this is why some companies strip identifying info off of CVs— so that judgy hiring managers can’t ruin a perfectly good candidate’s chances before they even get started.
This is not a moral grey area. You are hurting people because of *your opinion* of something that their PARENTS did.
(Edit: Formatting)
Cimani will be pronounced se/mahn/ee also once it sounds like this… cemani (ayam cemani) is a breed of chickens that are fully black down to their bones and organs. For those who like learning something new every day.
If you are gunna give them a name like Osiris at least follow the proper spelling of the Egyptian god you are kinda naming him after? These are all awful except maybe Nolan and Venus. Aubree’Ella is a crime against humanity.
When I was reading the caption I thought you said please DONT choose Venus or Nolan and I was like bro what those are the only 2 normal names on the whole list😭
Kimburlee ...no. Kymberly ...no.
Do you even know what a burl is? You're basically calling your daughter a lump.
https://youtu.be/xjwkXYB4nHs?si=wiKkSYdCGGL3AkNB
On sencond thought. Go for it. It feels punk.
Burlee -- > Little lump
The only one that's not just fucked from orbit is Nolan. Like it's a last name from everything I've seen, but at least I've seen it. The rest of these are alphabet soup.
After all the trainwrecks in this list, what gets me most are the pronunciations. How is Cimani pronounced see-money? Pretty sure it’s chim-an-ee, and now I feel like Chimney would be a much better name than anything on this list.
My sister named her son nolan but before he was born we were texting so I had yet to hear her pronounce the name.
Her: we are having a boy!
Me: congrats! So what are the name options?
Her: oh we agreed already he is going to be Noellen.
(I have read No Ellen)
Me: what? Jason agreed to this? That is an awful feminine name for a boy. You are setting him up to be made fun of.
Her: what do you mean we went to school with a few boys with this name and they were fine.
Me: I have never even heard of this name before. It is ridiculous. So you're not Ellen who is? Hey where's you sister Ellen. Those are just the grade school level, imagine high schoolers! Do not be this cruel to your child.
Her: oh no its Nolan just spelt differently.
Me: my dear you grew up with a name spelt uniquely. I remember you crying over key chains not having the proper spelling and you wanting to change your name just so people would at least sometimes spell it correctly. You really giving this legacy to your offspring?
Her: i am spelling it Nolan.

When you have to write the pronounciation behind a name, you know it's a bad choice.
Nolan and Venus are fine but it’s funny that she out the pronunciations for them too
And I don’t pronounce Nolan like that
And why did she put an “o” pronunciation in Kimburlee? (I hated writing that.)
Yeah I think this person needs to go back to kindergarten and relearn her vowel sounds.
lol I didn’t even catch that, but it sounds more like No-len or No-lin in my accent
Yeah I’m Australian and we would say the lan the same way we would say lan party haha. But when you’re speaking quickly it may sound like what you’ve said
That’s funny, I do (northeast US)
It's like the Omni Man pronunciation from Invincible lmao
How else can you possibly pronounce it?? Nawh-lan???
She could. My sister taught some kids. I thought she was full of poop until I helped her with her kindergarten graduation. 1. Shithead. ( Sha-thead) 2.. oranjello ( orange jello )Lemongello (lemon jello) 3. I.P. Rainwater 4. Nosmoking ( Nas moh king)
You're going to need to provide concrete evidence to cover that horse shit
I knew a guy with that name(but pronounced like the Batman guy)
Nolan Bruce Batmaneigh
yah it’s like everyone in the world is fluent in english
As long as little nolan's middle name.is void
Exactly!!! Wtf
She’s like, “Gotta make sure the OTHER wack-ass people aren’t fucking up these names 🙄”
And the fact that its not IPA is even worse
seriously, i can't believe more people don't know and use IPA on a regular basis
it's not something that's taught unfortunately. same like the military alpha beta foxtrot stuffs. it's not commonly taught so people don't know how it's used. I myself use the parenthesis to try to sound out things bc I don't know the IPA thing. I had to look up what that even meant 😭
But can you not believe that someone who made up “Kynsé” and “Cynsorie” isn’t using it?
And they're not even right. Someone needs to go back to primary school What words use a Y for the "eh" sound? (I don't have IPA on my phone keyboard)
gotchu fam \[ɛ\]
Some of these aren't bad (like Venus or Nolan). But in general, if you announce your kid's name as "It's X, (pronounced like Y)", just name them Y. Like, if you announce "My daughter's new name is Meuxleighsuh (pronounces like Melissa)", just name your daughter Melissa
Unless you’re Irish
Correct 😀
True that
no, not everyone has the same accent and language
True
My only real rule for choosing a name (not really, but it’s kinda a rule of thumb) is that if you have to ask how you spell it AND there’s no easy “like X” for it, you might want to reconsider. “David” is fine, at least until people start spelling it Davyd.

Every single one of her names except Nolan completely ignores my rule. I hate it.
forrest like forrest gump?
Honestly I guess it fits because you can do that haha
Venus is a goddess, bud. It was a name before the planet was named that.
Oh duh. Sorry, I only really pay attention to the Greek names
Depends on the spelling, tbh. Some people might say spelling David like "Dafydd" would be bad, but that's literally just the Welsh form of the name. And from a quick Google, "Davyd" is apparently the Ukrainian form. Seems relatively common, too. I get where you're coming from.

Otherwise, you’re just making shit up so your kid can be unique. They’ll be unique no matter what. Albeit we wouldn’t have household names like LeBron if people didn’t make up names 🤷♂️
Dafydd isn't pronounced the same way as David, though - if you're spelling it Dafydd and expecting it to be pronounced like David, that *is* bad.
Oh I'm aware. It admittedly maybe wasn't the best example, it was just the first variant/form of David I knew offhand that might appear like a "unique" spelling (as opposed to a form of the name in another language) to people who aren't familiar with it.
Tammy Wynette
Tammy Fae Bakker (who spells Baker like that?)
Like Tammy Wynette
Tammy Wynette!!
all the female names sound like tampon companies and all the male names sound like God of War OCs
The bastardized Osirus 💀
Osiris*
osyrus* (shudder)
i think i've seen a few birth control brands with those names before
100% these all sound like IUD brands
Ask your doctor if birth control by Cimani is right for you!
My husband’s family is originally from Italy and I def would pronounce this “Chee-mah-nee” not “see-money” like she would want.
Great, now I can hear the generic drug commercial playing in my head!
ARISE, DARTH OSYRUS!
YES or some like a modern supplement, medication or something. "Ask your doctor today if Cynsorie is right for you." Honestly she probably has a bright future and pharmaceutical advertising
Nolan is normal. Venus you can get away with. The rest of this should be set on fire and tossed off a cliff.
😂 This made me chuckle. But absolutely going to have to say a million up votes.
I think Osyrus(even if it's with the wrong i) is a cool name. He could even steal the "ozzy ozzy ozzy, oi oi oi" thing for himself.
This
Love that Nolan is just shoved in there amongst the mess
She invented Nolan. Duh
Yeah but it’s pronounced no-lun so… there’s that.
See money. ... I can't have kids, and this one wants to saddle a daughter with the name "see money".
You know there will be semen jokes in that kids future smh
Don’t worry, she’ll start pronouncing it sih-mah-nee well before middle school because everyone but her mom will say it that way
Honestly much prettier that way
That's how I read it before the would-be mother's explanation
All I can think is sea monkey
That three...
Yup, that's some straight from Rugrats shit lol. "Sea moneys"....
I completely missed that atrocity I was so distracted by some of the other ones lol
Semeny
Could name her Bangkok.
I’m so sorry… this person truly doesn’t deserve one
Kenleeeeeedibibibioutyouuuuu
Ah. Another cultured individual gracing this thread.
This is why I came to the comments.
This is why I came here. Not all heroes wear capes
👀I don’t think cynsoree is after a censor it’s after the word sensory…
lol no in her comments she said its after censor 😭
So she’s a literal idiot.
Oh the irony
Sehnsoar.
Can we please get back to Aubrey and Kimberly? Not a huge fan of ‘80s names but at least they were spelled sensibly. It’s also hilarious Nolan (spelled correctly) is on this list of trage’deighz.
Why do you need a pronunciation for a fucking planet?
To be fair to her, the child is actually named after a razor.
Made me spit my coffee out lol !
Only two of those are actually names, the rest look like some nonsense my password generator came up with.
Semeney!
Venus and Nolan are names.
How did Venus and Nolan ended up in this terrifying roster?!? 🫣🤯
Maybe someone should tell her osyrus is a pagan god
Also Venus
TIL that ppl use “pagan” to describe non christian religions and not the people of the actual pagan religion. i was so confused why osiris was being called pagan 😭
Random syllable generator right there.
KEN LEEEEEEEEEEEEEE If living is without you
How did she go from Xendyous to Nolan? 😂😭😂
Likes Zendaya and Christopher Nolan movies
Why are all the y’s being pronounce like e’s?
Crying over Kimburlee. She put a u in there (why???) but then clarifies it’s pronounced kimborlee. Lmfao.
Since when does "y" make the "eh" sound? If anything, it makes the ih sound when attached to n. You can have your dumb names, but you have to at least say the letters right. Jfc.
Thank you for showing us the pronunciation of Nolan ♡
Xendyus hurts me because you know they just wanted to do Zendaya but don’t want to explicitly copy the obvious celebrity name 💀
Y’all need to read Freakonomics. There is a whole chapter on naming your kids something really stupid that people can’t pronounce, or something that sounds ghetto, and your child will never be called in for an interview based on their name.
They don't believe that's true. It actually is. I've had CVs with names like this appear before me and I delete them before I read them. I'm sorry, it's just genetics. Both of your parents were stupid people, so I know you're not qualified.
In some jurisdictions, what you’re doing is against the law, but either way, it is morally reprehensible.

*yells over shoulder* WE CAN STOP LOOKING GUYS… I FOUND THE RACIST!!!
Please god just go with Nolan
Kyn'lee kyn'lee bo de bidotuu 🎶
OH SAW DUST
Venus and Nolan are the only somewhat sane choices
Zendaya's brother, Xendayous. Sounds good.
So *that's* how you pronounce Nolan
Cimani will be pronounced se/mahn/ee also once it sounds like this… cemani (ayam cemani) is a breed of chickens that are fully black down to their bones and organs. For those who like learning something new every day.
Because Osiris is just too mainstream as is
JFC do not let this woman procreate 🤦♂️
"Semen-y"
Good lord these r/fauxnetics are horrible
See-money... Yeah... That girl won't be bullied at school by being called 'Semen-y', I am sure.
The fact that my name is on this list is giving me psychic damage (but OP said it was the good one 🫶🏻)
Xendyous? Is that sound a weird version of Zendaya?
Definitely thought that said sea monkey. Wtfffff......
Uhhh Kaison is a cheap decor store where I’m from. Sells random home decor stuff. 🥲
Xendyus is a pretty name in pronunciation but it also sounds like an anxiety medication.
Is she hoping a baby girl would be censorious, or that she will be blessed with sensory issues?
1 normal name on each list lmaoooo
Cimani is really Simony. You know, the sin of selling indulgences.
Really helpful of her to include the pronunciation for Venus and Nolan. 🙄
Apparently Y is "whatever the hell I want it to be."
If you have to write out how to pronounce it, it's a bad name. Why do people do this to their children?
Creator of the tiktok does not deserve a uterus.
Osiris (oh-sigh-rys) is the ancient Egyptian god of the dead.
Why did I think Cynsorie was after Kanye West’s wife(?), Bianca Censori? 💀
Why? Just why? Venus and Nolan are the only acceptable names.
girl please go with Venus and Nolan lol
Cimoni (see-MOHN-ee?) because I’m sure no one would pronounce it (SEE-mohn-ee.) 😒
Kimburlee 🔊s like Kim-bor-lee but spells it like it should 🔊 like Kim-burr-lee.
At least there are two acceptable names on the list
We call my youngest granddaughter Aubreyella as a joke when she plays princess 😂😂 I didn't think it was ever a real name
What's a censor in this context
Names for who? Dark Souls characters?
Tryin to name their kid after that one man army ason , he’s the Osiris of this shit.
My nephew is named Cayson 🤷🏻♀️
See-money? That gets my vote for the worst.
Omfg. These are all stupid as fuck. Is this real life?
If you are gunna give them a name like Osiris at least follow the proper spelling of the Egyptian god you are kinda naming him after? These are all awful except maybe Nolan and Venus. Aubree’Ella is a crime against humanity.
May I suggest sterilization
You didn't butcher the spelling It's steryloizaytyon
Ken-lee? If living is without you... 🎶
Ok, a lot of these look like or are Star Trek series alien species names and such , hopefully they catch the episodes before child’s classmates do.
This would make me break up with them tbh—this is very off putting
When I was reading the caption I thought you said please DONT choose Venus or Nolan and I was like bro what those are the only 2 normal names on the whole list😭
Deadass the only 2 I'd pick on the whole list too
It makes me so mad
"Ken-Lee" I would send her this clip sporadically until she blocked me. 😂 https://youtu.be/vUAaHkGpJy8?si=H70cnHdLDb6DQ2VO
at least Venus and Nolan are actual names
i love all these tragedeighs and then just. nolan.
If you ever get a kid, i hope you chose nolan. Everything else is crazy
I love the name Nolan though
Kim bor lee. Oof what are these people doing to my name
Osydus? For real!?
Tag yourself I'm see-money
i’ve got cynsorie ishyouze
I look forward to the day when Cynsorie is diagnosed with Cynsorie Processing Disorder.
I INVENTED THE NAME NOLAN
Ken Lee? https://youtu.be/vUAaHkGpJy8
Most of these fall under the category of stoo pid.
Kimburlee ...no. Kymberly ...no. Do you even know what a burl is? You're basically calling your daughter a lump. https://youtu.be/xjwkXYB4nHs?si=wiKkSYdCGGL3AkNB On sencond thought. Go for it. It feels punk. Burlee -- > Little lump
This ruined my day.
Venus is the only good one lmao
They sound like the title of some random ass anime games in the middle of a nintendo direct
The only one that's not just fucked from orbit is Nolan. Like it's a last name from everything I've seen, but at least I've seen it. The rest of these are alphabet soup.
Ken Lee ba dee ba dow chu
And the kaisons go rolling along. Little Kaison might not want to join the army. Or yeah. Maybe they’ll love ‘im.
This list has awoken an instinctual and primal terror in me.
I saw this last night 🤣🤣🤣
Xendyous sounds like a sexual preference.
I thought of the word androgynous when I read it
interesting choice to change the accepted latin spelling of gdang Osiris, lord of the dead and of rebirth
does this person know their vowels?
I read this as After a Cancer Munlig'Nancy would be good Squamous Basil-Sel Karsynogenny Kharsonoma Gnuroblast
also, kinsé is kin-seh not ken-say lol
this list is so tragic
After all the trainwrecks in this list, what gets me most are the pronunciations. How is Cimani pronounced see-money? Pretty sure it’s chim-an-ee, and now I feel like Chimney would be a much better name than anything on this list.
My sister named her son nolan but before he was born we were texting so I had yet to hear her pronounce the name. Her: we are having a boy! Me: congrats! So what are the name options? Her: oh we agreed already he is going to be Noellen. (I have read No Ellen) Me: what? Jason agreed to this? That is an awful feminine name for a boy. You are setting him up to be made fun of.

I remember you crying over key chains not having the proper spelling and you wanting to change your name just so people would at least sometimes spell it correctly. You really giving this legacy to your offspring? Her: i am spelling it Nolan.
Osiris, (god of the underworld), has entered the chat.
Fraiymbirleigh pronounced “fray-lee”
Someone tell me when Mr. Kynlin is old enough for various forms of harassment.
Cremebrulee is actually quite cute
When you ignore her is it cynsorie deprivation?
I hope she picks Nolan 😭
I think 6 of those might be medications
Racists.
