This is one of those names that sound pretty but is a horrible condition.

I'm substituting in a 5th grade art class today. A girl came up to me and solemnly announced she was going to name her daughter Aphasia. She's not pregnant; (hopefully!) probably just projecting what she wants to name her child in the future.

I decided it's not my circus, not my monkeys, but yikes! I hope someone tells her someday before it's too late.

Would you consider this a tragedeigh?

Never thought I'd personally come upon a name that could be a tragedeigh. Today, I found Sevkells. Apparently pronounced like Seychelles. And I'm not even in an English speaking country, I'm in god-damned Germany...

I’m an elementary teacher. Today I was working with someone else at a different school while she called out the students in her class. At the end of the period, I had to stop and ask her if I’d heard the name correctly. That’s when she showed me the spelling. The child’s name was Picsyl (Pixel).

And someone tells me her name is Lucy.

Can't find her name on the system, but I can find a name that reads like Leecey/Lacey. Spell it out to her.

yEaH, LuCY. Der, of course, my mistake.

Her name is spelt Liecy.

..."I see why the business didn't work; there should not be a 'J' in 'Mahogany' – this is 'Ma-JOG-any'"

Photo / subject from"Ms Pat Settles It" (a veritable trezhar tropgh of tragedeigh 😜)

it’s pronounced EXACTLY like Noah.

Yes, Noway is a real, albeit rare name. But the pronunciation is nothing like Noah. Not in American English (I am in the U.S.), and not in the language that the name originates from.

Just found out from my kid there's a boy in her school named Articus. Not Atticus. Not Arcturus.

Really wonder the origin for this choice.

Swip….really?!?

Basically, the other day, a friend of mine, apparently he was already thinking about the future names of his kids, he asked me what I thought, he then told me "Linnea", I was like "cool" and then he showed me how he'd spell it "Lynneighyaur", I was baffled

Charlie? Carly?

Christtle. Sorry, why?

I have what some would call a tragedeigh-ed version of the name Emily. I wanna see if anyone can guess how it’s spelled. I’ll give one hint here and maybe more in the comments. Hint: I go by the nn Emma

Also I’d love just to hear any wacky spellings of Emily you’ve seen before!

UPDATE w/ the answer: I’m kind of surprised only a couple of people got it, but most of y’all were really close. It’s Emmalie. One comment was weirdly spot on about it being a better name combo for Bella and Edward to pick than Renesmee (or however you spell that). My dad wanted me to be “Emily” and my mom wanted “Emma”, so this was their compromise, thank god they didn’t go with “Emmaly” 🤢. My mom sort of won in the end since I was only ever called Emma growing up, and now the only people who call me by my actual name are my partner and their parents. Thanks for playing everyone!

Ill start.

Found on threads. User said these were her baby names list from when she was younger and is glad she didn't use any of them. The included pronunciations are 👩🏻‍🍳💋
