After months of conversations with various streamers, they more or less said “maybe next time.”
I’ve only gotten “no’s” from the big wigs in LA and NYC for 10 years now. So I self-produced my very own special and I’m bringing it straight to y’all who’ve made it possible in the first place. Let’s just keep building this thing together - I like it better that way anyway.
I’m so happy to bring this special to all of you and I hope you enjoy. Let’s prove em all wrong. Much love ❤️

@TreyKennedy : comparing black baby names to white baby names
There’s a little Ghanaian girl in my Sunday school class named Nevaeh & she’s so distracted (+ distracts the other kids too), but it’s not just a white person thing as much as it’s more a millennial thing
So Trey, were you the third child?
When I had my son, a nurse told me that every New Years Eve the nurses have a party and vote on the worst baby names they’ve seen that year.
I’d love to see some of those lists 😆
It's true. Friends with a 38 year mat-u nurse.
Yep. Had a notebook at the desk.
As a health care worker I could see us doing this.
That's hilarious I need to see the list
I was a nanny for a family where the mom wanted to name their daughter Trinity (thinking it was a nice religious name) but the dad refused because their last name was Savage. He said Trinity Savage sounded like a stripper or porn star. 😂
Omg I love that actually for a stage name lmao
or serial killer
😂😂😂😂
Trinity Savage also sounds like a video game character in Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.
Pretty much any name I suggest to my husband he says sounds like a stripper name 🙄
I once knew a kid named Okie. His last name was Dokie. True story. His dad said he could change it at 18 if he wanted. When the time came he declined. He said no one ever forgot his name and kept it.
Growing up we had a neighbor named Alfreda Zane.
Orson Cart was a kid in a friend’s class in London. 🤷♂️
I had a friend growing up named Cookie Crumble. 🤣
OMG. I really thought the kid I grew up with the surname "Bacon" and his being named "Christopher" (think about it) was the worst but oh my "Okie Dokie"" Yeeeeek.
Wowzer. Well, it’s cool that he embraced the humor in it, even though it was a pretty dumb ass name to give your kid
There was this girl in my primary school whose name was Amber, and she cried all the time over trivial things, so the kids called her Amber-lance whenever she started her wailing and while I'm not guilty for calling her that, I am guilty of laughing.
😂
😂😂😂🙆
I just horse laughed at this.
That's hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They should have gone with Wah-mber
My friend arrived at the hospital just minutes before her son was born so she named him Justin.....they got to the hospital 'just in' time. As names go, this one was good, thankfully!
😂nice
At least Justin is an actual name
Lmaooo
is the last name bieber-
Justin Case was a cool friend in Middle School. Yep, good guy & everything. His dad lost a bet with a friend. 😅
Love the strained laugh when Nevaeh came up because you know a good 25% of them named their daughter that
So many deranged. Sad for them.
As an L&D RN, I have seen many Nevaehs and every mom thought she was being totally original! I just had to tell her what a lovely name she had chosen with a totally straight face.
I literally have always thought “but heaven backwards is not a good thing” whenever I’ve heard that name. It just doesn’t seem like a positive lol… thanks, Trey, for also noticing
That name drives me crazy
Neveah and Semaj. Sheer idiots for parents
I worked for a newspaper for 40 years. One of the things I did was take death notices by phone from funeral homes. Many years ago, one of the notices had these names of relatives in it: Twilvern, Chevelle and Velveeta. Wherever these people are, I hope they're doing okay.
She might be the same Chevelle I know. Her father named her after his favorite car 🙄
I've heard of a Chevelle. :/ I guess it's better than Corvette :0 Or Porche.. or Mercedes......... shall I go on?
@@SirenaSpades but weren’t those last two cars named after the car designers daughters ? (Girls named
Porsche and Mercedes?) 🙃
Chevelle is not *so bad, but Velveeta? Twilvern? Wow. And I even grew up with a kid named ORD.
@dragonfish13 my friends dad names her after his favourite beer 😆🗑. She goes by her middle name bow and very few know thr truth lol
People are naming their kids as if they're naming pets.
Yessssss! That’s what I’ve been saying and people keep saying, “People can name their kids what they want.” What happened to all this talk about kids being people with feelings and dreams that are completely independent from their parents? I guess that goes out the window when the parents want to name them something a second grader would come up with from mashing random words together.
@@LoveK1and people are naming pets as if they're naming humans! It gets confusing at the dog park/playground!
And when I go to the dog park the dogs are named Henry, Roger, Sally and Hannah.
Most actually give more considered thought to naming their pets.
Trey is such an experienced white person.
😂
😀😀😀
This is a quality description of Trey. This is why I scroll through the comments
Omg
I agree.
I knew a woman who named her daughter Justus. Although it sounded like Justice. The story behind her naming her baby that her husband was stationed in Afghanistan when she found out that she was pregnant. And unfortunately he died in combat a few weeks before she was due. So she decided to named her daughter Justus because it was just them. It was so sad.
Damn that hit me right in the feels
Justus is biblical too
💔❤️🩹
Lol........
That's sad, but good name choice. Justus is normal name in Finland, it's from latin iustus, which means "just/righteous".
I had a customer who was named Secret Dicks. It was all could do to muster the courage to NOT ask if this was her married name or her given name.
That sounds like a drag name or a title of a porno.
"John Jr is excited about his wedding night but little did he know his wife Eve, has a big surprise gift for him!"
I'LL STOP 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sparkle Tittsworth still cracks me up😂
@@ebonelli1260 Superhero by day, stripper by night... Guess what her power is🤣
Side note: Why does that sound like an adult Powerpuff girl?🤭🤭😂😂
The worst name I’ve heard about was a woman my nurse friend encountered at the hospital. Her name was ‘La-a’. Pronounced ‘LaDASHa’ because of the dash in her name. My god, man…
@@REChronic54 yea I've heard of people doing that. "A-a"
I would punch some of these "parents" if I could. At this point, it should be put as child abuse
I’m still disappointed that *Jessica Biel* didn’t name her kid Batmo.
I legit laughed out loud at this😂
@@Terry2227 yes that's funny

Me too!!😂😆🤣
My friend, last name Stein wanted to name his kid Franklin Nathan, but his wife said no.
@@jsbrads1 and so they named their kid "Ein"... ;-)
The heat gonna be on Trey when picking out names for their upcoming little one 😅
He finally announced his special!

Mean Girls quote! I love it!
@@rebeccacrash9272 The best kind of quote! (Besides Emperors new groove or the Simpsons.)
A friend of mine is a nurse. She encountered a kid from a very white trash area of our city. Poor kid was Mafew. It's Matthew, but bogan.
@@Luubelaar Poor kid.
I'm gonna go watch mean girls now for the 20th time
What parents should do for 6 months when they go to places that ask for reservations of a person's name such as a restaurant or when going to Starbucks and the barista asks for the name the parents should say the name they want to name the baby. If anyone makes a face because it's a stupid name or asks how to spell it countless times since some parents try to be unique then the parents get to see what the child would go through in life.
It would be a small glimpse of what the child would have to go through, if all parents did this before coming up with a name.
lets be honest... the majority of the types of parents who do this would just spend 6 months screaming and going full Karen on a bunch of unfortunate waiters and baristas before concluding that they have those jobs because they're too stupid to recognize the genius of their precious baby's name
@@rockstermaniac True, unfortunately 😔
As a Natasha, I feel seen 😂 I asked my mom if she realized what it said backwards before naming me, and she did. Fully knew what she was doing
It's kind of a funny thing that it's "Ah Satan" backwards, given that it's originally a Russian nickname from Natalia-which refers to Christmas (the Nativity).
@@Nzie What’s weird for me is that everyone I’ve seriously dated has had the -El root in their name, which is derived from the Hebrew word for God
My parents never realized despite being very religious. Got teased by friends a lot lol. Now it makes a good joke though!
Whaaat???? I am Nataša, lucky me that i am not from an English speaking country.
On a somewhat related note I love your TH-cam username
True story, my friend was a nurse. Woman was asked what will her daughter's name be. She looked around and said emphatically, "Tixe"! My friend asked her "is that a family name?" Woman looked her dead in the eye and said, "no, it's up there". My friend looked.......the woman was seeing the Exit sign backwards! True story! 🤣
@@jessicavieira8266 Right!

Exit but backwards, not setting that girl up for good things.

I work at Starbucks. I wonder why people hate their children daily.
Right 😂🤣😭
Lol
I just be in awe sometimes because every now and them someone pops up with an ethic name and their white and I be like hmmmm 🤔 cool 🤷🏾♀️.
I used to work at a children's hospital. I met soooooo many kids with awful names. I felt so bad for them. It was more than 20 years ago now, but I still think of Brock Colley and wonder how he's doing. I hope he's okay.
And all the kids with ridiculously spelled names because it's "unique".
Mary should follow her comment with just one story- just one, only one, ok maybe two ok as many as she can name. Inquiring minds want to know.
As a German, it just seems so utterly wild to me that there are no restrictions in the US on what you can and cannot name your baby. Here, the local civil registry office needs to approve the baby name and they will not let you name your kid in a way that violates their personal rights - meaning you cannot name your child after a brand, geographic region or noble title (so no Gucci, North, Mississippi and definitely bye bye Tributary), negatively associated biblical names are also prohibited (e.g. Judas, Satan) and their name is not allowed to be insulting or sound ridiculous. I would argue that each of the names Trey used here would not make the cut 😁
I was thinking the same thing. Even though I like that names have to be allowed so kids don't get punished with weird names, I have also experienced with friends from other cultural backgrounds that their name choices had to be approved because they were unknown. But it is more of a time consuming formality if the name checks the boxes rather then an exclusion as explained by Leona. Good example of orderly, German bureuracy though ;-)
@@just_me_1044 we have same rules in Poland to the point where few years ago all girls names had to end with "a" - so no Ines for example, but since it is more popular to use not-polish names and more and more foreigners in our country they allowed to use girls names ending with other letters. But all the rules mentioned by Leona still apply, also: there could be max 2 names and it shouldn't be diminutive (I won't write it can't be because I know that depends on clerk if s/he allow to use diminutive form. I know ona Majka, where this is diminutive of Maja)
I don’t see any problem with the name Ember though. It’s actually a fairly common name here and I’ve never really gotten any of the associations with it that he named.
Well thanks to Elon musk we do have one rule now lol you cannot name your child X Æ A-12 😂
Also banned in some länder : Adolf
Best way to test out kids names is to yell the full name and see if it sounds right.
Exactly!
With the middle name!
True! If you’d feel like a prick shouting it in the park to get your dog to come back,…..it’s not what you want to call your kids.
Way to test whether your child's name is too generic is to stand in school playground, call the name and count how many kids turn their heads
My cousins thought it was a good idea to combine the names “amber” and “Emily” and now I got a cousin named “emberly” 🙃
My own name is bad, but EMBERLY
@@emilymg1 As a fellow Emily I don't think our name is bad lol. Now if you spell it all sorts of funky like someone I met "Emmely" then hard pass.
@@zombieluka I knew an "Emily" spelled exactly how you pronounce it, Emmalee, and it honestly bothered me so much lol
Emberly sounds like the name of an app that delivers firewood to you.
@@zombieluka As a fellow Emily, I concur. But my aunt, a kindergarten teacher, once encountered an Emileigh, and I'm not sure we should accept her into our midsts

@@FrozenJedi38 Me? Maybe we both have the same sense of humor. 🤣
@@trybeinggr8239 Oh no I meant the original commenter lol 😅
Laston for "the last son"? In Turkey we literally have it. "Soner" means "the last male". Generally that's something whether for "no more kids after this" or "no more child deaths after this". Actually there are names remaining from high baby mortality days where people would name their kids as "Yeter" (F, means "enough"), Dursun (M, means "let it stop"), Satılmış (M, means "sold", from a superstition involving telling the death that the baby is sold could avoid death because death could skip the baby), etc. There are names for the first born kids like "İlker" (M, "the first male"), İlknur (F, "the first light"). Female versions of "Soner" also exist like "Songül" (the first rose), "Sonnur" (the last light).
We don't have "Ember" (Köz) in my country but we have "Spark" (Kıvılcım). A rare name but still there is. I had a crush in one girl named as that. Many names are taken from nature, abstract ideas and so on.
in afghanistan some are named Jummah (friday for prayers) and Nowrus (newyears). i have uncles with those names
In Nigeria, we have such names too. They are no longer common because child mortality has reduced but we still have names for first borns, only boys, only girls. People are also named for Friday, Sunday
Thanks for sharing this interesting bit of your culture! I love hearing about how other people's cultures do things, and how they were done in the past. It gives you such an insight into the people!
Remember this O.K. ad from the 90s? th-cam.com/video/OTXNbgjtTx4/w-d-xo.html
@@Gilly-bean yeah.
For an explanation for those whom don’t understand Turkish. This was a condom ad in the 90s and the children’s names in order are Birsen (F, “only you”), İlker (M, “first male”), Songül (F, “last rose”), Soner (M, “last male”), Yeter (F, “enough”), İmdat (M, “help”)
The girl who used to cut my hair was named Russ Ann, who was an only child. When I asked how she got that name, she said her father, Russ, always wanted a boy to pass that name to & when she arrived he just added Ann to complete the process of highlighting her dad’s proud stupidity.
That's too close to 'RUSSIAN' for me lol! 😂
One time I knew a lady and she said she went to a fortune teller and she told her she would have three kids and marry a guy with three letters in his name. She had two kids but later her daughter was murdered and she adopted her son thereby making three. I thought that was pretty prophetic until she told me she called her husband Gary Gar to make the prophecy come true. 😐🤔😲
omg that's like my grandma with my aunt! Grandpa's "Rusty" so my aunt became "Russchell"
Obama's mother's name is Stanley Ann.
My dad and grandpa are both Russell/Russ, and they both absolutely hated it. So he always said he would name my brother anything but Russ
I went to school with this family of like 7 kids, 5 boys, 2 girls and every single son was named Jeremiah. And they just put the first, the second, the third, etc. after each one. Apparently the dad has a business called Jeremiah and sons so he wanted the name to still make sense regardless of which son it got passed on to… the daughters were named Amaya, cause Jer-Amaya. I will never forget it. Soo hilarious yet embarrassing and cringey at the same time
My goodness that is....😓. How did the kids feel about it when they got older?
@@CarysLibri they didn’t seem to care, or thought it was cool 😂 they all had nicknames so they weren’t being confused
@@SarahdayZ Well, if they don't mind I guess I shouldn't either. I'm glad that they are a happy, well adjusted group of Jeremiahs and Jer'Amayas! 😊
In my step dads family is like this too, all the guys are named micheal lol, you can't even tell them apart by their middle names either because the middle names are the same too every other generation
Why were the daughters named the same too?
I work at a daycare and have seen some pretty interesting names. My favorite is Engla'vae, which is a mixture of England and Vegas. Idk why. I also know two sisters whose names are literally Ember and Nevaeh. You must have met them Trey 😂
I have met many girls named Nevaeh in the last eight years. I go to church with about 10 of them.
Yes ditto working as a teacher. I didn’t have this student, but a coworker did - named Va’Gina.
I saw a lot of Nevaeh's when I subbed for high school classes. Lol I finally have an Ember as a student this year. I think her full name is Emberlyn
I also work at a daycare and some of the names are a bit unusual but there's none that bad lol
@@jacquelynroe9036 no. No. Nooo!
Retired RN here. I swear this is true ✋📖
As I was reviewing my pediatric ICU assignment I noticed my pts 1st name was Deend. Upon taking report from the outgoing nurse she told me the story of the pt’s name. She quoted the mother as saying “I’ve done had me 9 kids and this is de end.”
This reminds me of a poem I read many many years ago. Fortunately it was fiction, but in it the child told his teacher that his name was Encore. The teacher asked if his mother was musically inclined and he answered "No ma'am. Me mother named me Encore cos I wasn't on the programme."
Exhausted mothers should not name their children right after the birth!!! My friend and her husband decided on a name for their boy. Only, when he came to the hospital to see them, the boy had a totally different name because mum was so exhausted that she couldnt remember what name they had agreed on.
One of my mom's friends named her 3rd child Finn (as in Fin, another way of saying "The End") since they were planning on him being their last baby. She had two more after him 😂
@@katnissever-meme9318 Julia Roberts named her son Finn.
UH UH 🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
If you are thinking of giving your kids unusual names, consider making it their middle name. You can still call them the special name that at home, but then they have the option of being “John” or “Emma” on college and job applications. I had a friend in middle school who went by Scout and his brother was Trooper. But they had typical first names because their mom … you know …. Cared about their future and wanted them to be able to run for office or just go to the doctor’s office with dignity.
This is exactly what we’re planning on doing! A sensible, solid family first name and a somewhat nerdy middle one 👌
See, thinking ahead!
I’ve said for years that god gave us middle names for a reason
I worked with a young woman named Susan, but she insisted the proper pronunciation was Sooszan. Yeah, mom did her right, but she still messed it up.
Personally I don't see a problem with the vast majority of unique names when it comes to things like a job or the Dr. office as far as it being spoken. My concern is the writing of it. To have a name that no one knows how to spell it, or how you spell it, just by it's sound - or it's a common name but now everyone's spelling it weirdly so they never know and still have to ask... or it's one which they've never heard of being spelled some other way and yet yours is... and they HADN'T asked, and now it's misspelled on a formal invite or worse... . Like Sindy. I have never, ever heard of Cindy but with an S, yet Luke over at MIGardener channel, his wife is named that. She is Asian and so I'm wondering if there's an explanation within that, like an Asian name combo with the usual Cindy, OR it's totally from an Asian name, or what. Sometimes, these things actually happen by a mistake on a birth certificate , and the parents didn't notice right away and then it was too costly to change it, or they decided they'd keep it, for whatever other reason. We ended up with a registered Holstein cow with a weird name once because my Dad's handwriting ( which wasn't bad, but the boxes they give for the letters are fairly small) was mis-copied/understood by the person making out the official registration papers.
We named our son Albie Afton [last name]. My wife came up with his first name. It is Irish Gaelic and means bright or witty. His middle name, which I picked out, is a river in Scotland, popularized in the eponymous poem by Robert Burns. So basically, as long as he meets his significant other, and all his friends, at a Renaissance festival he should be good.
Uuuhhh... Albie is either from Albus/Alba and means white (not celtic but latin) or it is and then it's rock/crag.
@@sisuguillam5109 the same word spelling can appear in different languages and mean different things.
@@juliawidmaier5334 yep. Which probably caused the confusion. Albie can have the latin meaning if white... or the other one, where it means rock.
Hahaha Richard, this is awesome 👏👏👏
Lol same, my name is Ceílí which is Gaelic for dance/party with a home made English translation to Cailé middle name Shea and Last name blacksmith in Gaelic so I’ll be there too😂
The jump with " demon baby" has me crying 😂🤣
I’m a NICU nurse and I approve of this message 😂
Bless you! Our NICU nurses were our heroes!! They were always patient and kind with my husband and I. They went above and beyond to explain things and by the end of our “stay” a month later, they were like our second mommas. ❤️
Thank you for what you do! You are valued!! ❤️

Yes, being the ER nurse who has to go into the waiting area a try to call for these people, when Lord knows how to say the names!
One I've heard is that a couple with the last name of Mills had a daughter. Her first name is Polly, middle name ... is Esther .... most might not notice unless they know and say her full name ...
😂😂😂 That's so horrible yet so awesome 😂😂😂
I had a friend whose mother was named Esther, and her younger sister named Polly was born on her mother's birthday. They celebrate their birthdays as "Polyester day.'
I dated a girl named Amanda Lynn. Say that out loud and it’ll be like music to your ears.

When my mother was told that her first greatgrandchild had been named "Amy Louise" she said "Thank goodness they've chosen a sensible name for the baby"
I work in a flower shop where we enter the senders' names on the greeting cards. Given some of the names kids are given today, with the crazy spellings, I'll be glad I'll be retired before THEY start ordering flowers!
Can we get a few examples- someone said latrina was bad because it sounded like latrine.
Hopefully you would see a return to traditional names. I was given an unique name, and while I can appreciate it now as an adult, I made sure to name all my children very normal names.
I knew of a couple who named their girl Areola, not knowing what it meant. You would think that somebody in the hospital would confront them about it, but I don't know how that went down.

I took a poetry class at uni. One day for some reason we got to talking about real names for objects. I mentioned that the tips of your shoelace are called aglets (Yes, I got it form phineas and ferb) and my poetry professor chimes in and says "Oh, Aglet would a nice name for a little girl."
I just kinda smiled and said "Yeah...maybe"
I knew this from Suite Life of Zach and Cody
Natasha is a girl's name of Russian origin. This name means "born on Christmas day" or "birthday of the Lord." While it could be perfect for a holiday baby, it also is perfect for the parent looking for a more contemporary influence.
It's also, as we all just learned, "Ah Satan" backwards so.....
Did they think about what their kids would go through making friends? Getting a job? What about ordering a latte? Or a pizza by phone?
My name, Meredith, was so uncommon up in till my 20s that people couldn't spell it, couldn't PRONOUNCE it, or even HEAR it correctly. I started ordering pizza and lattes as Lola.
"Triple shot espresso for Merry Death! Mared It? How about Meridian?"

I knew someone who named their son Euphrates. I also have a cousin named 'Harrison Obadiah.' The fact that both of those names loosely reference Star Wars was a constant joke in our family.
Grew up with kids in our very small town named Arwen and Jeffrey Frodo, this was probably at least 45 years before the LOTR books became movies. I guess the folks were just big fans of Tolkien!
When I read “Euphrates” I immediately wondered why these people were so interested in a river that they named their kid after it
My brother's middle name is Euphrates.
Actually, naming a son Euphrates is not unheard of in regions around the actual Euphrates (names like Firat (in Turkey), I believe, are referencing the Euphrates); it's one of the areas with the earliest human agriculture, etc. I'm not surprirsed people name their children after it even here.
I'll never forget the day that I learned a mother named her two sons Casper and Coda. Sounds like something you would name your dogs.
I worked at a dog daycare for 4 years, the amount of times these days I hear a new baby name and think "oh I knew a dog/several dogs with that name..."
I'm def the "my dogs are my babies" type but can't help finding the intermixing of dog and human names these days cringy.
Oh! Oh my stomach! Make it stop! Oh my stomach! Lol!
Coda, kimd of. Casper on the other hand has been used as a name for people for a long time

That's hilarious! I have a distant cousin who named their kid "Braylee". The whole family roasted them behind their back. "BRAY-lee", we said, how perfect, the sound a jackass makes.

Bet Braylee's mom is the pumpkin spice type with a tik-tok channel to boot.
That is my granddaughters name!
@@paingoret6 You're spot on, except if she's got videos, no one's watching them. Watched her have full blown tantrums well into adulthood. She's cringe AF.
@@swizzlestix3449 Consider a nickname?
I know of a Braelynn, and an unrelated Baylyn, and I just don’t think I could take them seriously as adults
I bought the full special, and watched it twice. Loved it, both times. I'm happy to watch your evolution to stand up comedy, Trey. Big blessings to you and your family. 😁
As someone with an unusual name, hubs and I are naming our kids normal things so that they at least have a chance of finding souvenirs with their names on it.
As someone who has one of the most basic common names (everyone knows at least 5), I gave all of my kids less common names, haha
We did an in between. Normal names that aren't used a lot. 😂
Alyse is a beautiful name
@@Sanity_Faire Thank you! Just turns out people prefer to call me "Alice" lol
I’m Elise so I feel your pain.
I knew Trey was funny with skits but it’s awesome to see how funny he is at standup too!
Met a little girl named Eefin but the parents spelled it Effin. My cousin said “No, that’s what they were doing when they conceived her”.
😬😬😬
Yikes!
I don't understand.
Effin looks much more normal than Eefin.
@@panda4247 Effin is the spelling when the real word, fu**ing, cannot be used. Not a good name for your child. Tacky.
"Oh, Ember, you will remember
Ember, one thing remains
Ember, so warm and tender
You will remember my name!"
I don’t think I know that song, what’s it called?
@@e_intelligence2487 It's from a cartoon called Danny Phantom.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
@@KaiTheTyrant Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Love this! Its nice to see you in stand up, its really different from the normal skits!!! Also, i do know a Neveah lol, and I never know how to spell her name.
Ooh, Natasha and Naveah would be perfct names for twinsies!
Which one will be the evil twin though?
Neveah
@@rebeccacrash9272 People named Neveah are always up to something
You…..didn’t listen to the video, did you?
💀💀💀
I had a customer whose name was Tequila, one named Cocain, and even a Righteous and a Messiah.
Love seeing Trey LIVE --- as I first found him on TH-cam with his various & hilarious 😂 skits during the COVID-19 pandemic!!!
It''s never good when the parents have to pull up the spelling of their baby's name on their phone in order to spell it out for you! True story!
“The weakest of all the water channels” Lmao
It is a little unfair to moms to drug us up for labor, and then make us choose a name after days of intense sleep deprivation. 😂
This is my son…Payne…because he caused me A LOT OF FREAKING PAIN TO GET HIM IN THIS WORLD 😂😂😂
@@morganabraham8450 Full name: Payne Hurts🤣
I was thinking this too. And the father may decide to pull a dad joke.
I feel like parents should have a form they fill out before labor where they put down the top 3-5 boy names and 3-5 girl names
They bring this form with them to the hospital. Then, its just multiple choice. "Its a girl, so please choose a name from column B"
@@emordnilap4747 Payne Hertz
In Australia we get 60 days to register the birth. so 60 days to choose a name for the severely indecisive folk!
This is genius comedic gold right here. Seriously, I laughed so incredibly hard!
Yay! So excited! I loved the show in Denver so am happy I’ll get to experience it again. 👏🏻 Plus I’m moving the weekend before so this will be the perfect way to relax after an insane couple of days. Thanks Trey! God has used you to be such a blessing in my life, I’m thrilled to support your first special!!! Congrats.
Trey you are literally so relatable and funny! You're the highlight to my day I really can't tell you how much you have made me smile. I love you're videos btw
literally!
I still remember the little girl in my sons pre-k class named Trashelle. You can imagine the torment she went through. I wish folks thought about what they do to their child with these awful ignorant names. I had a boss named Shun. No kidding. Shun. I joked with him, "I shun you!" He said, "Like, I haven't heard that before". I said, "You know you are an adult now, you know that, right? You can change the spelling you know to reflect what your Mom wanted, there are several acceptable spellings for Shaun". Any pregnant Mom reading this: YES, Yes it matters how you spell your baby's name. If you are not sure look it up!
Lmao 😂
This made me laugh so hard lol..Trashelle 😂
Lol. 😆
This has be laughing SO hard! Loved the jokes at the end especially!
As a father of an "Ember" I can say I had this exact conversation with my wife before ultimately giving in and just letting her name our baby what she wanted. lol. The trade off was I get to name our son a normal name. Also, super funny, my wife suggested Neveah originally as well. lol it's like you were there for our convo... but my argument against was Neveah was it sounded like Nineveh in the Bible and that's the place God was going to destroy (Jonah) and eventually destroyed (Nahum) because it was super wicked /evil and corrupt so I at least avoided that one with logic lol And you're right, God on earth is Jesus, angels on earth are fallen... which is NOT a good thing... lol let's not push our luck with an anti-heaven/reverse heaven names.
Ember and Neveah are such popular names now no one is going to have trouble with them or think they are out of the ordinary.
@@stitches318 It's a fad. Fads go out of style real quick.
Off topic, didn't God spare the people of Nineveh? I think I remember Jonah being upset about that whole ordeal because he knew God wasn't going to go through with it if the people of the city repented
@@leylamontenegro126 yes but They were destroyed later in the book if Nahum. The repentance was only temporary.
@@BoldFollower Oh...I guess that's my own fault for not reading certain books more often. Come on now Nineveh 🙄
Wow Congrats Trey!! I've been following you since Vine.
True story; I know a girl named Dream Weaver (you older folks will appreciate this one).
My kids have unique names because they are traditional and spelled correctly. 😁
I’m sorry to read in your notes that people said “no” to you, Trey, about your special. I saw you on your tour earlier this year and am a big fan. I’m sure your self-produced release will be a huge hit! 👏
Agree!
I never genuinely laugh out loud at most standup bits, but I did at this! Hilarious and clever 😂
This is my first dose of Trey Kennedy. I think I’m hooked! 😆
I went to high school with a girl named Namoya. I asked her if it was a traditional African name and she and our mutual friend laughed. Our friend said she was the youngest of 9 and after the delivery her mom said, “ That’s it. I ain’t hav’n no more a ya”. True story!😂
I literally thought this was a Comedy Central upload. Great job!
Soooo true! Labor and delivery nurse here. I shake my head at some of the names I hear!
What do you think about "Joint Commission" for a little girl? Or Hippa for a little boy?
Yrs ago I went with a friend to her church revival. The guest speaker was a handsome, muscular black man named Sherby Long. Unable to contain my laugh, I had to walk out when he was introduced. 😂
Please keep doing what you’re doing. Clean comedy is where the real art is! I’m here and I’ve been here since long ago praying for you and your team.
You
Got
This
My Brother! ❤
Oh I thought "Nivea" like the face cream! 😉
Omg I knew a real life Mormon family that named their last baby "Ender" because they were officially done after him 🤣
Lord....
Lol
Yeah, that’s a good Mormon name! 😅
Maybe they're also big Orson Scott Card fans, especially since they're Mormon.
Knew a kid named surprise for the same reason. Also knew A Spring, Pacci, Ligi, Mister and every possible _’Kayla you can imagine. M’Kayla Na’Kayla…
A man & his young son were walking one day. The boy asked his dad, "Why did you name my sister Paris?" The dad said, "Because she was conceived while we were in Paris, why did you ask, Quarrentine?"
😅
I had a friend who used to say, “if you can't find it on a cup at Disney World you can't name your kid that.” 😆😂
That's funny I would almost say the opposite.
While is does suck to never find your name on something, I will say it’s nice to not have a billion other people with the same name. And then when I find another Elise or Elyse, I’m like: Hey cool! A fellow Elise. And it’s fun. If your name is Ashley and you meet another Ashley, it’s like: Oh great, another one😒
My name wasn't very commonly given when I was a child but it's still a classic name in french, not recently invented, still I never found it anywhere. Not once. It was frustrating as a child but now I wouldn't change it at all and I silently thanks my mum for it once in a while
Well done, Trey!! You have great stage presence.
What some people name their kids makes it sound like a list of Hunger Games tributes are being read off (and I mean the first two districts)
I was a labor and delivery nurse for most of my career. We used to do yard signs or write the name of the baby the parents had chosen on a white board and the their weight, length, time, date, etc. EVERY once in awhile I’d have to say, “uhhhh, you’re gonna have to spell that one for me…” or use my poker face so as not to communicate my thought life that day.
VERY funny, nice writing, perfect delivery.
I'm black(if that's relevant) and I absolutely love Trey Kennedy. Good pure comedy. N he nails it every time. And that boy can SING!
Highly irrelevant haha signed a black person.
@@TheSweetForever thanks black person. Duely noted ✅️
Same, and same. I wish he would do new skits singing
@@JH-kl5vi you’re welcome ☺️
hell yeah. this comment section was a little too white, bring the cavalry
The fact that I know a hair dresser named Amber is amazing 😂💀
As do I 😂. Unwritten rule?
My mom’s hair dresser is Amber!
We all know a hair dresser named Amber
@@jencg7501 probably 😂
Me too!
Lastin. Lol!!! This is so true. Everyone trying to be so unique. Hey, that’s a good name. Unique.
I LOVE YOUR JOKES! superb stuff man! Crack me up every time!
I've known 2 children named Nevaeh, both were the toughest kids I've ever met. Destroyed entire rooms and souls.
If ever there was a comment to be pinned at the top this is it
So so proud of Trey!
Yessssssss I love that you do standup
“We named him Stanley!”
“Oh that’s a nice name.”
“Because he was conceived in the tool shed!”
“Thanks, I hate it.”
Love the stand up!!
Real talk! The skits are one thing! I’ve never seen any of his stand up but this was so good. He’s a natural!
I worked with a girl named Heaven… I didn’t really know what to expect from the rest of her siblings names but then I found out her twin sister was named Nevaeh. 😐
I really hope they were mirror twins because that would make it so much funnier 😂
Guess they know which is the evil twin
Growing up I knew twins who were named George Robert and Robert George.
My son had a friend named Yorel whose brother was named Leroy.
Have a friend named Emil... Which is Lime backwards.
I grew up when churches were playing music records backwards then burning them for being evil, so I find the idea of christians naming their daughters Nevaeh hilarious.
