Make us preferred on Google

The best part of having children? You can name them anything!

The worst part of dealing with anybody's children...their parents can name their child anything.

Sometimes you stare down at a list of names and see a name that you can't help but gape at. Is that SERIOUSLY this child's name? Oh no...


u/hwbaiqkqj asked:

What is the most absurd baby name you have heard?

Here were some of those answers.

Clurt

I had a neighbor named Clurtis.

I just woke up my husband from laughing so hard lol CLURTIS lmao

kellywithayy

All of the names on here are either urban legends, or things that famous people named their kids. Yours is hands down the best. It's both believable yet hilarious. I'm so curious to know where one comes up with the name Clurtis. Was the root Cletus or Curtis or both? It's amazing.

Just Can't Get You Out Of My Head

Once knew a woman who was utterly obsessed with Kylie Minogue. When she got pregnant there was only one name for her child. Big day arrived, and she gave birth to a beautiful boy. We all thought that was the end of Kylie, but no. She named him Kai-Lee.

Next Will Be Zoom

At my kids elementary school, the teachers would decorate the outside door to their room with their students names. One kindergarten teacher had an interesting mix of names one year, most notably: September, Florida, and Skype. SKYPE. Someone named their kid Skype.

Shanda

Friend of a former colleague named their child Neil, which would have been fine if their surname wasn't Down.

At the rival high school was a girl named Crystal. No big deal. Last name Lear. Still fine. Middle name: Shanda.

Third Third Third

Thirdy. At first I thought it was a foreign name, but nope, they named their baby Thirdy because he was the third child.

Didn't Jacob Rees-Mogg name his 6th child Sextus? Poor kid, what do you even shorten that too?

Pandaspooppopcorn

Actually it was Sixtus, not that that's much better.

His kids are named Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher, Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunston, Peter Theodore Alphege, and Mary Anne Charlotte Emma. His daughter really got lucky with the naming lol

And I Oop

In elementary school I had a friend named Adam.

That was, until a Substitute teacher in the 5th grade obviously didn't read the notes left for him and when he took attendance, he called out Richard. We didn't have a Richard in our class. Or so we thought. Adam sheepishly put up his hand and said "I go by Adam".

His last name is Head.

It became quite obvious why he went by Adam.

Turns out Richard is a family name. He's actually Richard Head the 11th or so.

We Got Fancy

A friend liked the name Cassidy but thought it was too basic... So she named her daughter M'Cassidine. She was 15. We arent friends anymore so i wonder how M'Cassadine is doing... She was a beautiful baby tho.

Lucy Juicy Pudding Pie

My school vice principal was called Lucy Lamb. Not the worst, but you can't take someone seriously with such a cartoony name.

I just realised she was married, so assuming she took her husband's name her parents didn't intend to call her Lucy Lamb.

Pan Pacifica

A relative of mine had a job many years ago that involved meeting loads of people from southern pacific islands. Apparently it was the in thing to use English words as names because they sounded cool, or looked posh. One guy was called Pan Pacific Conference. Swear to god.

PS. Pan Pacific Conference, if you're on reddit and you read this, know that I've never forgotten your name, and still think it's the most awesome name ever.

Lindsey Graham's Sister Hit With Hilariously Brutal Factcheck After Claiming She's 'Not Being Handed' His Senate Seat

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

Senator Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.

Posting in the "Girl Dinner Diaries" subReddit, Redditor Jack-of-not posted a photo of an open-faced sandwich and explained what she'd discovered:
