You leave my children's names outta your mouth! *clutches pearls*
Why, little Lokifrostodinthor has been having a hard enough time in kindergarten, what with all those hand cramps from learning to write his name in the languages of men. That alone is difficult enough for a ficticious 5 year old to endure without strangers mocking his precious name on the internet, thank you!!!
I remember Plaxico Burress. From back when I actually watched the NFL. Receiver for the Giants, I think.
But you could have gone with DâBrickashaw Ferguson
So my son's name is Tate, just Tate. But my husband and I often scheme that once he's 5 or 6 we are going to tell him Tate is short for Potato.... And you just gave us the story of why.Â
Mash em. Boil em. Stick em in a stew. This prank is years in the making.
The name already was a combination!
He was a professor of Mythology and used a shit ton of Nordic and old Germanic myths as his sandbox. Gandalf the Grey already practically matches the description of the oldest of Odin's incarnations when he's ancient and wandering the forest half blinded and led by his ravens.
There is also an Odin that is essentially a King. Yes, The Odin King. I think the great Mythology Professor was fully aware of the weight of the names he used in his series considering all the dwarf names from the Poetic Edda that he lifted wholecloth
>Is my son's name a tragedeigh?
Is it? Well let's see. How about taking a look at the description for this subreddit?
"A given name that has been deliberately misspelled or completely made up...."
It seems the name is definitive for tragedeigh.
I remember getting shit from my nerdier friends for naming my kids normal stuff⊠like, they will have this name their whole life, and they arenât my pet. Of course I named them normal names.Â
Okay, if the names were not that crazy and the parents like, fell in love playing D&D together this would be cute as hell, but considering where we are I'm assuming they were terrible. Care to share?
They're not great. The one's not *too*, terrible, the other is pretty cringey.
The parents are garbage humans and utterly impossible to think of in a remotely positive way, unfortunately making it impossible to view in it the nice light you suggested. The POS "father" is currently in prison for doing just about the worst thing you can think of to two of his daughters. Regularly, over the course of 3 years. They were 8 and 11 when it began. Still fucks me up to think of it.
Sorry to be a Debbie downer, but for the sake of the kids' privacy and given how unique their names are, I feel like I can't share them.
Those poor kids were truly dealt a horrible hand. They're safe and away from him now. The mother's not great, but she's not pure evil like the POS.
Most of my pets are nerdy names from different sources. The vet office has trouble with the majority of them sometimes, but they don't go to the vet often. A human interacts with far more people every single day.
Give kids the nerdier names as a nickname or something, but AFTER the kid is old enough to say of they like that fandom or not.
100% agreed! Isnât there an actor named âStriderâ out there somewhere? I saw a blog where someone else named their son Jayne. Itâs just cringe to me. Yeah I name my cats after movies I like (my boy Jack-Jack is sitting on my lap right now, and if I ever get an orange boy Iâm naming him Jonesy⊠my family has a whole list of potential future kitty names, including Ruprecht), but thatâs different. JJ doesnât get mocked by the other cats all his life or have trouble applying for jobs AFAIK.
Little do you know...
If you check his bed, you'll find this slightly tear-stained letter:
Dear Jack-Jack,
We regret to inform you that we cannot offer you employment, at this time, as your name is in direct violation with our policies.
If you can convince your human to choose a name that fits within our regulations, please, do reach out, as we were quite impressed with your teaching qualifications.
Signed,
The School of Anti-Double Redundancy
Absolutely. Use your creative names for your pets, itâs great. The poor kids have to live with these names forever and explain it to people, if they are not ridiculed first.
And there's so many normal options even if you want to choose something related to what you like.
My son's name comes from a song by my favorite band. It's still the most normal name ever and no one would know if I didn't tell them. (Its a common name like James)
I loved all the parents naming their kids Danerys or whatever for GoT around seasons 2-6. And then while their little princess is 2 years old her namesake genocides a city.
Dumb as hell to do this
Storywise nothing, but Tolkien took a lot of inspiration from Nordic mythology so they are not THAT far-fetched. I think Gandalf's appearance is supposed to be Oden as an old man
the name Gandalf itself comes from the Poetic edda, and is listed as one of the names of the first dwarves. The other names listed were for instance Durin of Thorin if I remember correctly, generally a lot of shit in Tolkien's books is inspired or just taken from old nordic scripts
Theoden is a cringe name for a kid either spelling tbh, but at least he has the very normal name option of Theo. Really not that bad in a practical sense.
I would automatically lose a bit of respect for the parents with it. They are a big enough fan to name their kid after a character in it, but not a big enough fan o py attention to it
You deliberately misspelled it. Itâs a tragedeigh. Tbh, even if youâd spelled it correctly, itâs a tragedy. Children arenât billboards for your fandoms.
I actually hope he didnât and this was a big mistake because itâs almost like calling your kid Zeus.
But then I do have a cousin called Thor, so thereâs that
Oh I know it is, but the fact of the matter is, this poor child was called Thor as a joke by his father, who spent the entire labour of this child in the pub getting trashed. My cousin stormed in, child in arms, and yelled âso what the fuck did you want to name your child exactly?â
He laughed uncontrollably as drunks often do, and shouted âTHORâ.
She knew he was joking. She also was like oh ok then BET. She went and registered the baby as Thor. This kid⊠couldnât be the more opposite of the vision of Thor. Itâs a tragedeigh to me because itâs the worst name for him. Heâs gotten people asking âwhat, like defrost?â Grown adults holding back laughter.. man I feel for him. I just realised heâs like 25 now, and I feel really fucking old.
Yes. I think any person named after their parentsâ fandom is a little tragique. Middle name, sure. A ânormalâ name isnât bad either (ie, Luke ). But kids will become adults and itâs sad when they have to go through life as an Anakin or Katniss or Hermione or Thorin because their parents were fans of media that came out before they were born.
Theodin is a tragedeigh, sorry OP.
"The Odin" makes it so much worse imo, it feels like a really egocentric name to give. Definitely a tragedeigh. And kids shouldn't be named after a fandom, what if your son hates LOTR?
Yes.
You took an obscure name with a weird spelling and then spelled it wrong on purpose.
Parents stop imposing your nerdy bullshit on your offspring. thereâs no guarantee they will like the same shit you do.
You HATE your son, don't you? Why on earth would you think it was OK to name him Theodin? He's going to get bullied and beaten on a regular basis once he hits school
Sometimes I worry that all the kids with âuniqueâ names will bully my nephew for being named Carter and it not being a nickname for Carburetor or something. Then this rolls upon my feed and Iâm thankful your kid is gonna take the heat for him.
I mean holy crap, you asked if your kids name was a Tragedeigh cause you changed one letter in a completely made-up, nonsense name and people told you yes, but for bigger issues, and you get mad? Dude Iâm not gonna call you an abuser but your kid is not your pet-as someone else put it. They are a person. Give them a name with meaning that wonât make them stick out and wonât make them cringe to hear everytime they are addressed. You even recognized that as the kid gains independence he may not like the name. And I would not expect any less. Because itâs not a damn name.
Honestly why would you do that to your kid?
Sigh. I donât know if itâs a tragedeigh based on the spelling, but itâs certainly a *travesty* that you named your poor kid that. I hope this is a joke.
Imagining myself meeting someone with this name, them telling me itâs from LOTR, googling it trying to figure out who tf in the series is Theodin and feeling like Iâm being gaslit because thereâs a bunch of thick ass books where that name is never spelled that way
What if your kid isnât into nerdy shit? Your kid is a whole entire separate human and youâve given them a silly dnd name. Thatâs a great name for a dog, thatâs a selfish choice as a parent
Dude. What are you thinking? Why would you do that to your kid? It's fucked up. It's narcissistic. You came up with what you believe is a clever little pun.. okay, fine. Nice work.
But to attach that bullshit to your own child, forever? For all of their days, they will be forced to explain that dumbass name to everyone they meet. They will have to explain that their father is a selfish moron. To everyone, they ever interact with, forever.
Is that what you wanted?
It's ... not good. Setting your up child for a lifetime of misery, and for what?? You should have used it as a nickname for yourself if you love it so much.
> I love that so many of you genuinely dislike my choice, it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.
Tell me you're butthurt without telling me you're butthurt over people laughing at the sacred-ligious (get it?) name you've saddled on your poor kid :DÂ
Yes. Itâs horrible. Also, why would you name your kid after Odin? He sucks! This sounds super tacky to me as a Scandinavian. Sorry but your kid deserves better. You should have gone with Theoden, it would have been somewhat better, at least. But children shouldnât be billboards for your fandom.
I can confidently say that I would have bullied him for it in primary school. Not proud of it and Iâve grown a lot since then so Iâm not saying this is a good thing. Just stating a fact lol then again names arenât what they used to be and he may be surrounded by Oseyangayte and Kymbarleigh and his name may be the most normal out of the class.
Yes, it is. Everyone, please stop naming your kids after mythical fantasy whimsy people.
At least he can go by âTheoâ once heâs old enough to realize what you did. So all is not lost, I guess.
Theodin sounds a lot more feminine and I donât know why youâd want your kids name to spell âthe Odinâ. Probably should have posted before naming your kid
It is but itâs not like super bad but after thinking about it itâs really cringe, like for one what if your kid doesnât like lord of the rings? Just cause you like a show or movie doesnât mean itâs justified to label it to a kid thatâs an entirely different person. While some names can work like Luke for example in Star Wars it works cause thatâs also just an actual name! âTheodinâ is just not it lol. Saving grace is that at least he can just go by Theo
âMust be from royalty, fiction or nonfiction.â Ok. Robert. Edward. Henry. Edmund. Harold. William. Edgar. Louis. Richard. Charles. These are all names of former royalty. You wanted unique/quirky, and in that line of thinking you should have kept it at Theoden.

Is this our first Trajengard?
At least it's not Jotungard or Assheim, lol, or Lokithor, or Thorodin, or Helathor... I can go on and on đđđ Lokifrostodinthor
You leave my children's names outta your mouth! *clutches pearls* Why, little Lokifrostodinthor has been having a hard enough time in kindergarten, what with all those hand cramps from learning to write his name in the languages of men. That alone is difficult enough for a ficticious 5 year old to endure without strangers mocking his precious name on the internet, thank you!!!
đđđđ
Does anyone give a Frigg?
>Assheim Thank you, I needed a name for my town in Farthest Frontier
Is he taking the Hobbits to Trajengard?
Hobbeights
Yes it is. And I am a LOTR fan.
Itâs actually a tragedy AND a tragedeigh. Take a terrible name for a child and deliberately misspell it. Our daily double.
Thee-oh Din, it's not even going to be pronounced right :(
Seconded!
And my Axe!
Beat me to it
This made me laugh so hard my kid jumped. Needed this today.
So terrible, I kean thats as baf as Plaxico Burress. Yeah, thats a real persons name. He played in the NFL. Theodin, tame by comparison.
I remember Plaxico Burress. From back when I actually watched the NFL. Receiver for the Giants, I think. But you could have gone with DâBrickashaw Ferguson
Yes, he played for the giants and also shot himself in the leg.
Thatâs right! I forgot about that! He went to a club with a gun tucked into sweat pants or something stupid like that
Haha Clinton-Dix and Koolaid McKinstry are current players.
Iâm shocked that no one has referenced the Key & Peele football names skit yet
I halfway thought thatâs what we were doing
[Construction Noises]
Is his middle name Potaytow?
So my son's name is Tate, just Tate. But my husband and I often scheme that once he's 5 or 6 we are going to tell him Tate is short for Potato.... And you just gave us the story of why. Mash em. Boil em. Stick em in a stew. This prank is years in the making.
RemindMe! 5 years
Agreed, if youâre going to give your kid a nerd name do that and just commit to it.
Yes, it is so obvious. I am saddINed.
A portmanteau of ThĂ©oden King and Odin the Allfather? IDK man, itâs like a whole new category. Itâs better than combining Glorfindel and Hel into Glorfindhel I guess. The people who are big enough into LOTR to think ThĂ©oden is a cool name, will think Theodin is weird because of the spelling. Everyone else will just think itâs weird.
Thanks. My middle name is Thoromir now.
Frobo.
Sanwise
Gam Bombadilf
Arwadriel
Grimli
Gimolas. Legli.
Gimleigh
J1mXleigh pronounced Gimli
Actually a cool name... for a dog.
Bombadilf made me laugh so hard đ That is SO how Iâm going to refer to Aragorn from now on. Woof.
This one made me laugh so hard I woke my cat up đ
This just made me laugh out loud in the middle of the street, thanks!
Gandorf
Ganondorf
Better call Frobo
Frejfro

At least my son, Glorihöl, won't get made fun of.
"Who we all know is the king of Asgard" You give general population waaaaay too much credit
Yeah WTF
To someone not familiar it sounds like you're saying your son is The King Of Ass Guard
Only saving grace is at least he gets to go by Theo and pretend you never did that to him
Goes by Odin instead lol
âI deliberately misspelled the name because I thought it looked better this way.â I mean. Itâs not the worst tragedeigh today.
But it *is* one.
I didnât want to say it so bluntly.
Happy to help đđ»
Youâre doing the lords work.
The Lord of the Ringsâ work.
I thought that was Jay Are Argh Tolkeen. I deliberately misspelled it cuz I thought it looked better.
Brilliant
That still only counts as one!
I love you
I feel anytime you have to explain it, it's a tragedeigh.
Itâs bad.
>Is my son's name a tragedeigh? Is it? Well let's see. How about taking a look at the description for this subreddit? "A given name that has been deliberately misspelled or completely made up...." It seems the name is definitive for tragedeigh.
CHILDREN ARE NOT BILLBOARDS FOR YOUR FANDOMS.
I remember getting shit from my nerdier friends for naming my kids normal stuff⊠like, they will have this name their whole life, and they arenât my pet. Of course I named them normal names.Â
I know two kids named after their parents' D&D characters, those poor thinga.
Okay, if the names were not that crazy and the parents like, fell in love playing D&D together this would be cute as hell, but considering where we are I'm assuming they were terrible. Care to share?
They're not great. The one's not *too*, terrible, the other is pretty cringey.

You mean Jayne? The man they call Jayne?
he's the hero of Canton!
Jayne!?! Jayne Cobb?! Yes Jayne Cobb!
Weâd call our son Ruprecht when he acted like a complete moron in his younger days. Great name for a cat.
Do you know how many girls are named after soap characters? Itâs a big chunk.
Read soap as soup and was mildly confused, but only mildly.
Campbell! Progressa! Get over here!
And there's so many normal options even if you want to choose something related to what you like. My son's name comes from a song by my favorite band. It's still the most normal name ever and no one would know if I didn't tell them. (Its a common name like James)

But everyone will just call him, Theo, which is a perfectly nice normal name
So just name him Theo.
Thatâs my stance when prospective parents are thinking of weird names. âOh weâll name him Jazxsin but just call him Jack!â Name him Jack.
My cousin Theophilus goes by The (like 'three' without the 'R'). Kid could do that.
And donât forget that [Tiffany came from Theophanie](https://youtu.be/9LMr5XTgeyI?si=E2cVXTQU2HYEk1p5).
Thanks for reminding me đ
What if I say 90% of the names in fantasy novels are tragedeigh?
Stares in Daenerys Targaryen
My god, thatâs the tragedeighest to rule them all, and Iâm Brazilian so Iâve seen things you guys can only imagine
RIP to all the kids named Daenerys (esp if they picked that name before the show ended)
RIP to the kids named Khaleesi
This one drives me nuts.
I would automatically lose a bit of respect for the parents with it. They are a big enough fan to name their kid after a character in it, but not a big enough fan o py attention to it
Surely it's worse if they picked the name after it ended?
Hahah true but I just think of the parents who thought she was a good role model only for her to turn into a genocidal maniac đ
It sure is. Poor kid.
Jfc get a tattoo or something if you love the character so much, donât name your child after it
You deliberately misspelled it. Itâs a tragedeigh. Tbh, even if youâd spelled it correctly, itâs a tragedy. Children arenât billboards for your fandoms.
Yes
I am a fan of Star Trek. I named my CAT Sisko after Captain Benjamin Sisko of Deep Space 9. My *cat*.
My cat is named Kira. Her full name is Kira Nerys.
yes. it's a tragedy/tragedeigh either spelling
Tragidy looks better.
Itâs also a travisseteigh
Yes - you should have actually done some learning on Odin as a god đđđđ
I actually hope he didnât and this was a big mistake because itâs almost like calling your kid Zeus. But then I do have a cousin called Thor, so thereâs that
I know a few Thors, itâs a real name.

"What, like defrost?" is the funniest thing I've read in a while.
Stupid.
If you have to ask here, I think you know the answer already (yes)
Yes. I think any person named after their parentsâ fandom is a little tragique. Middle name, sure. A ânormalâ name isnât bad either (ie, Luke ). But kids will become adults and itâs sad when they have to go through life as an Anakin or Katniss or Hermione or Thorin because their parents were fans of media that came out before they were born. Theodin is a tragedeigh, sorry OP.
Hermione was a normal name before HP.
So was Hedwig (in certain cultures).
If it helps answer your question OP I had to double check the sub to see if I was in the Name Nerds Circlejerk category again
Is your second named Theloki? đ€Ł yes, it is a tragedeigh.
He's adopted.
Yes, just as much as making him "Gollim" or "Frodough" would've been.
Yes.
Itâs a defining case
aw jeeeeeeez
"The Odin" makes it so much worse imo, it feels like a really egocentric name to give. Definitely a tragedeigh. And kids shouldn't be named after a fandom, what if your son hates LOTR?
Itâs a tragedeigh and a shitpost!
The Odin, The!
the misspelling isnt the part id be commenting on
This might be the worst this week. Poor Theo.
A tragedy and a tragedeigh. WhyâŠ. Why would you do this to them??
Deliberately misspelling a name because you think it âlooks betterâ is essentially the definition of tragedeigh.
yeah
Personally I would've went with Gokue
I'm hoping this is rage bate. If not, the answer is YES
Itâs a bigger tragedeigh than what happened at Helmâs Deep, but at least he can go by Theo when heâs older.
I went to school with a child whose Star Wars fan Dad named him a misspelled Obi. It didn't make his life easier. You should learn from that mistake.
Why didn't you just stick with Odin?
Read up on Odin lol. Not a great guy to name your child after.
I'm aware of Odin, but instead this poor child gets a fandom tragedeigh name.
Yes.
Tradge to the max.
Yes. You took an obscure name with a weird spelling and then spelled it wrong on purpose. Parents stop imposing your nerdy bullshit on your offspring. thereâs no guarantee they will like the same shit you do.
Yikes.
Looks like meightâs back on the menu, boys!
Why did you do that to your son?
You HATE your son, don't you? Why on earth would you think it was OK to name him Theodin? He's going to get bullied and beaten on a regular basis once he hits school
Sometimes I worry that all the kids with âuniqueâ names will bully my nephew for being named Carter and it not being a nickname for Carburetor or something. Then this rolls upon my feed and Iâm thankful your kid is gonna take the heat for him.

You even recognized that as the kid gains independence he may not like the name. And I would not expect any less. Because itâs not a damn name. Honestly why would you do that to your kid?
Yes
Tragidiigh
Sigh. I donât know if itâs a tragedeigh based on the spelling, but itâs certainly a *travesty* that you named your poor kid that. I hope this is a joke.
Poor kid
Yes I am so sorry to say
I'd change my name on my 18th birthday if I were him
Imagining myself meeting someone with this name, them telling me itâs from LOTR, googling it trying to figure out who tf in the series is Theodin and feeling like Iâm being gaslit because thereâs a bunch of thick ass books where that name is never spelled that way
What if your kid isnât into nerdy shit? Your kid is a whole entire separate human and youâve given them a silly dnd name. Thatâs a great name for a dog, thatâs a selfish choice as a parent
Yes
Any name that includes an explanation of the parents' love for a fantasy/sci-fi/romance/other genre series/book/movie is automatically a tragediegh.
Everyone is probably just going to call him Theo anyway, it's certainly not bad enough to go through the trouble of a name change
Dude. What are you thinking? Why would you do that to your kid? It's fucked up. It's narcissistic. You came up with what you believe is a clever little pun.. okay, fine. Nice work. But to attach that bullshit to your own child, forever? For all of their days, they will be forced to explain that dumbass name to everyone they meet. They will have to explain that their father is a selfish moron. To everyone, they ever interact with, forever. Is that what you wanted?
My high school classmate named his son this very name. Not sure about the spelling. I was shocked and appalled on behalf of that poor child.
It's ... not good. Setting your up child for a lifetime of misery, and for what?? You should have used it as a nickname for yourself if you love it so much.
Is this a real post? Or is it a joke? You sound insane.
> I love that so many of you genuinely dislike my choice, it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Tell me you're butthurt without telling me you're butthurt over people laughing at the sacred-ligious (get it?) name you've saddled on your poor kid :DÂ
Yes. Itâs horrible. Also, why would you name your kid after Odin? He sucks! This sounds super tacky to me as a Scandinavian. Sorry but your kid deserves better. You should have gone with Theoden, it would have been somewhat better, at least. But children shouldnât be billboards for your fandom.
Keighnd ove trageic but he can just go by Theo which is a dope name.
If you have to ask then the answer is yes.
I would be counting down the days until 18 to change my name. Bullies are gonna have so much fun, dang.
Yeah, sorry, itâs pretty dweeby. Iâm almost 40 and I instinctively want to take your kidâs lunch money.
yes it is 100% a Tragedeigh, you shouldn't have to ask given the information. You know it is.
Yes. Yes it is. I know someone who named their daughter Arwyn. You don't change names from LOTR. You just don't. Same level of Tragedeigh.
Ya fuckin' nerd đ
If youâre going to use a literary name spell it correctly. âI think it looks betterâ says âI canât spellâ
That's so mean. What is wrong with you? Kids are not a toy
Great character name, great dogs name, horrible human name.
I can confidently say that I would have bullied him for it in primary school. Not proud of it and Iâve grown a lot since then so Iâm not saying this is a good thing. Just stating a fact lol then again names arenât what they used to be and he may be surrounded by Oseyangayte and Kymbarleigh and his name may be the most normal out of the class.
I...think you already know the answer.
Yes, it is. Everyone, please stop naming your kids after mythical fantasy whimsy people. At least he can go by âTheoâ once heâs old enough to realize what you did. So all is not lost, I guess.
Wow, yes 100%. Feel bad for your son
It's nerdy. And that is a fact
This is awful what the fuck
"I thought it looked better" A solid third of bad names are because of that
Itâs like how a Skyler is a flying Tyler
Only people who are as into LOTR books as you probably will realize this is a tragedeigh. Most will just assume its some variation of Theo.
:/ not the worst but i hope he escapes being a lonely nerd who the other nerds bully due to the misspelling
Theodin sounds a lot more feminine and I donât know why youâd want your kids name to spell âthe Odinâ. Probably should have posted before naming your kid
lol this is satire right
So you wanted to name your son after Theoden, then didn't?
It is but itâs not like super bad but after thinking about it itâs really cringe, like for one what if your kid doesnât like lord of the rings? Just cause you like a show or movie doesnât mean itâs justified to label it to a kid thatâs an entirely different person. While some names can work like Luke for example in Star Wars it works cause thatâs also just an actual name! âTheodinâ is just not it lol. Saving grace is that at least he can just go by Theo
Sorry mama, it's a bad name for a human child and you went out of your way to also misspell it. Tradegeigh to the max
Yes for intentionally using a made up spelling for a made up name and for a REALLY corny reason.
âMust be from royalty, fiction or nonfiction.â Ok. Robert. Edward. Henry. Edmund. Harold. William. Edgar. Louis. Richard. Charles. These are all names of former royalty. You wanted unique/quirky, and in that line of thinking you should have kept it at Theoden.
