A guy at work named one of kids after a relation of Thor's from the MCU movies. It makes me cringe so much.

On this note I'm in a name shaming FB group (you get some great ones there!). Obviously most of the group are American so often there are posts that are from other languages and they say they're weird and then there's debates about cultural sensitivities.

Recently there was a post where someone complained about someone calling their kids Eoin and Ruairi and how they were making up spellings to be different. He got slated in the comments on that one at least!

Recent one I heard, Jax, doesn't work in Ireland for obvious reasons.

Have a look at the picture for the full description but basically it’s the name Kaitlyn with “ait” remover and replaced with the Roman numeral VIII for 8.

Maybe a little harsh but I think those parents should be chemically castrated

You can see the misery in the child's eyes.

Talc , heard it today, asked the person to spell it. claims it is an old gaelic word meaning pillar or some ****

I like Irish names but names like Feilimíd, Nollaig and Breffni are a bit too much for me

I hope he's related to Timotei. If they go missing in the supermarket, you should find them both in the same aisle.

From Reddit:

Am I The Asshole for wanting to name my daughter after a Star Wars character?

Throwaway, of course, since we are 99% set on the name and don’t need my child’s name tied to my Reddit history.

My wife and I are huge fans of the Star Wars movies. Huge. We met while camping out for the premiere of The Force Awakens. Our spark was instant, and just a year later, I proposed with a ring hanging from the arm of a Rey Funko figure and she said yes.

Everything about us is Star Wars, and I mean everything from what we watch, to what we play, to our home decor. Our friends think we are a bit nutty but have always respected it until my wife got pregnant and we shared the name we wanted when we found out we are having a girl.

Captain-Phasma. The whole name, like Mary-Kate.

She’s due in 6 weeks, and once we announced the name on a Zoom meeting with our family and closest friends, they went from being happy and excited to appalled. They think we are messing up the child for this.

My wife and I were both bullied as kids, including myself for having a name associated with a girl (example: Jordan), and we think a strong name would make other kids in awe of our daughter. Especially once you have the tie-in to Gwendolyn Christie, who is basically a warrior. Our daughter should be both respected and feared.

My parents are begging us to consider naming our girl Gwendolyn or Brienne even (for Christie’s Game of Thrones character). Honestly it’s a sore point with my wife and me because she watched the show behind my back, and it bothers me. And my parents know this. So I definitely would not consent to naming her Brienne, even though I respect Christie and her talents in the clips I’ve seen.

So AITA (or are we the asshole) for wanting to name our daughter after a strong female character from our favorite movies? I feel like between Star Wars being where we got our start and our lives basically that it shouldn’t be so bad.

Just came across this thread - definitely laughing out loud material. I recall the BBC sit-com "Me Mammy", written by Hugh Leonard, and the young female character called Concepta - she was pregnant. She denied it and claimed she'd been eating new bread.

Really? You'd weep for society after reading a few pages...

Well.....yes.
Some of them were funny though, unintentionally of course.

Obviously from Irish Freemason stock.

Tyler, Mason, Roslyn are also masonic names that have become common place without the public realising it. Deacon, Warden and Worshipful Master also as of yet have to be realised.

Nothing wrong with “Masonic” names, the normal ones, like the ones listed above, anyway.

Too many people let their “imagination” run away with themselves after reading too many Dan Brown books, when it comes to Freemasonry.

It’s just like any other meeting “group”, these days. Their charitable works, which is what their main focus has been on for a long time now, often go unnoticed and unsung.

The problem is everyone is using them. I believe your name should be chosen from some ancestor predecessor or something in you linage. The problem with that theory is that then everyone would have been called Ugg or the female Ugge.

Now they are, long ago those names actually meant something. They were name that had something to live up to. When you were given a name it carried weight and you aspired to maintain that name. I used to love the name Mercedes, after the Count of Monte Cristo, now? not so much
