Latrina in italian is used to describe a stinky messy toilet. In fact I just looked up the meaning and it is indeed an outdated term used to describe a room with toilets. But today if you heard anyone use it, it is most likely used with a negative connotation. Almost to mean stinky or gross or smelly.

You cannot convince me Cthulhu didn't name Lylyt Yvyh Yryhl. My first and middle names are "Sirius-Basil Leviathan", though, so I'm not sure I'm doing much better
Fun fact: the "gh" you see in a lot of these names is taken from the words that end in "gh" where the "gh" is silent. That much is obvious. But what may not be obvious is that those letters actually used to be pronounced. They represented the voiceless velar fricative, which is a fairly harsh sounding consonant that sounds a bit like you're clearing your throught (you may have heard it before, for example at the end of the the Scottish word "loch"). So basically the name "Ashleigh" would kind of sound like you're saying "ash lay" and then started choking.
@Kyle-e9h that's just how you pronounce it with an English accent. In Scots and Scottish Gaelic it's pronounced like I wrote. Meanwhile, the "gh" has never been pronounced like a "k" in English.

We'll always start a conversation with "Hi, Morgan" You can have a basic and common name. You just got to be creative with it.
My brothers both married women with my name as well. Before I changed my last name, so it's at least different on paper, there was quite the confusion, lol. The name is just incredibly common from the five year period we were all born in. We all go by a different nickname/version of our name.
Im an Ashley, who has had good friends who are also Ashley's, and it's honestly kinda fun to lean into the bit. Especially if they know the Recess reference.

Someone said if you want to name your child something well “out there” use the name as your own first, introduce yourself with it when talking to people, use it if you go to a place like Starbucks and if you get tired of explaining it to people or constantly repeating it or correcting the spelling, then that’s what your child will feel like.

Note how most of these are people trying to 'celt-ify' anglic names by putting a bunch of ys and ws and eighs or aighs, instead of choosing already celtic ones like Gwyn, Dylan, Arthur or Owen
Yeah! the only thing that really confused me was someone putting a person named Eileen in here. I guess cause.of their last name? But like.its an actual name spelled either Ailene or Eileen, its not a name thats been weirdly spelled on purpose.
Honestly, I wouldn't bet suprised. The popularity of certain names cirles around throughout the years. It is somewhat likely that really old sounding names will become popular once again.

4:43 I did some thinking and you could definitely give the baby the nickname “Lottie” and only use that as her name. it doesnt fix Harlotte being her legal name, but it’s better than nothing
@@feha92 there are a lot of people named Harley. it's modern sounding, but it's a real name made from a surname, which has existed for a long while. there's at least 2 different associations-- to Harley Quinn (whose name is an actual human name) and Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, in which Harley is a normal surname. Neither of those is anywhere near the same league as 'Harlotte'.
@@pine_demon So which one, between "HarVey" and "Charlotte" is "exact name" HarLey? (capitals for emphasis, since you can't bold only parts of words on TH-cam)
11:45 Fun fact, according to Gaelic spelling conventions (which that name clearly is trying to mimic), "Luighseach" would be pronounced more or less like "Looshuck" (assuming the person spelling it can't say the "ch" in "loch"). The appropriate Gaelicisation of "Lucy" Would be more like "Lusaoi".

If you're going to pick a Middle Earth name pick one that's less known or more normal. Like Tom, after Tom Bombadil (who if you don't know you do yourself a massive disservice), or something like Meriadoc, who can be shortened to Merry, which is literally just a word for joy.

Me and my boyfriend have decided to name our kid Theodosia if we have a daughter; we’re obsessed with Hamilton and I sob every time I listen to Dear Theodosia so we decided it’d be cute
I’d unironically love to see a psychology test or something on parents like this because genuinely wtf I can only assume it’s parents DESPERATE to make sure their kid is unique but like a socially acceptable unique
I was substitute teaching back in 2023. Let me tell you, kids names nowadays are so bizzare. There was a girl in the class I was subbing for named 'Karleigh.' Then I was asked if I minded subbing for a different class for last period, as the original teacher I'd been subbing for had last period as their planning period. There, I met a girl whose name was spelled 'Luxsharee'... Her name was Luxury.
I am starting to think that these parents are giving their kids names with such terrible spelling, to protect them from Kira if they ever find themselves on the wrong side of the law or become world class detectives, hoping he will struggle so hard with the spelling that he will just give up. Somebody should educating them on the concept of fiction and a fictional character.
13:12 update on baby Raefarty!!! I’m on the subreddit and the baby was born yesterday (2 weeks early), the mother decided that the baby looked adorable and decided to change the baby’s name… to Theodora Jaczynvil. (The baby was almost called Theodorable but the dad put a foot down on it) 😂 A Raefarty Rose by any other name would smell as sweet….
I figured it was just the babies they had already birthed and named, and the rest were the football team members they still had to output. But your idea honestly sounds more likely, and honestly a kind of sweet way to remember/honor the expectations/dreams and effort that was abruptly bait-n-switched. Personally, I generally don't bother to make a shrine for my ice-cream cones that spill on the ground right before I get to take a bite (to honor the monetary and emotional loss), but it _is_ a romantic thought to do so.

I am incredibly thankful that my parents chose a basic name, the hilarity that ensues at family gatherings is also great (same name as my father and grandfather)
i swear, when people pick these names, it sounds like randomizing a name in Stardew Valley. like, ive literally had a cow and a goat in it named Bromie. these are between HP spells and Stardew

Someone said if you want to name your child something well “out there” use the name as your own first, introduce yourself with it when talking to people, use it if you go to a place like Starbucks and if you get tired of explaining it to people or constantly repeating it or correcting the spelling, then that’s what your child will feel like. If you want a out there name get a animal

3:43 I bet her idea of “compliment” is when people go “oh that’s…interesting”
Note how most of these are people trying to 'celt-ify' anglic names by putting a bunch of ys and ws and eighs or aighs, instead of choosing already celtic ones like Gwyn, Dylan, Arthur or Owen
May i ask a question.... Why? Why would you do that? (For these who named them this way)
Obsessed with y and add them anywhere… except for where they should be, then they remove natural ys and go for ashleigh. Make it make sense
Yeah! the only thing that really confused me was someone putting a person named Eileen in here. I guess cause.of their last name? But like.its an actual name spelled either Ailene or Eileen, its not a name thats been weirdly spelled on purpose.
I imagine Gen Alpha and Beta are going to give their children grandparent sounding names as an extreme rejection of these extremely stupid trends.
Our names will be grandparent names by then.
Therefore name the child Tyrone || son of ashtray of Kansas City, Missouri.
You mean Gertrude, Ethel, Beatrice, Elmer, Erwin, Victor😊?
Honestly, I wouldn't bet suprised. The popularity of certain names cirles around throughout the years. It is somewhat likely that really old sounding names will become popular once again.
@@dankline9162those are pretty names ngl and victor sounds like a hot guy name and I’m totally not influenced by corpse bride.
She probably does get compliments Serenity is a pretty name, but that’s because they’re HEARING IT. Unique names aren’t necessarily bad. “Unique names” that are normal names but spelled bad are the bottom of the barrel it’s just extra work
@drewidlifestyle7883
Whenever I hear the word Serenity, I cannot help but think of...
"SERENITY NOW!
Serenity now, insanity later." 🤣💀
@@Cuddly-Cactus I just think of the spaceship, or more accurately, the opening to the tv show it is from.
That one particularly annoyed me. Serenity is a perfectly good name. Dallas literally IS a name.
bruh this is like naming your oc some "jake, dont touch tail, mega alpha wolf, lonely, 18 years old, bully, half demon, secret prince" type shi
4:43 I did some thinking and you could definitely give the baby the nickname “Lottie” and only use that as her name. it doesnt fix Harlotte being her legal name, but it’s better than nothing
Or Harley.
@@ShadowsVale nah, that is still a word with strong such connotations. I think OP is right and "Lottie" is the way to go here.
@@feha92 there are a lot of people named Harley. it's modern sounding, but it's a real name made from a surname, which has existed for a long while. there's at least 2 different associations-- to Harley Quinn (whose name is an actual human name) and Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, in which Harley is a normal surname. Neither of those is anywhere near the same league as 'Harlotte'.
@comradewindowsill4253 the point was merge the names not have the exact name of one of them
@@pine_demon So which one, between "HarVey" and "Charlotte" is "exact name" HarLey? (capitals for emphasis, since you can't bold only parts of words on TH-cam)
9:08 poor kids named after cthulhu's cousins
11:45 Fun fact, according to Gaelic spelling conventions (which that name clearly is trying to mimic), "Luighseach" would be pronounced more or less like "Looshuck" (assuming the person spelling it can't say the "ch" in "loch").
The appropriate Gaelicisation of "Lucy" Would be more like "Lusaoi".
which looks like it rhymes with yaoi.
@comradewindowsill4253 It doesn't but it does look like it, I'll give you that.

"Syrenidie" gives off "scientific name of manatee species" vibes. Like, that's 100% either a dugong or a deep sea coral.
Worse they are salamanders that look like axolotls, called sirens.

"Otherwise known as 'They Who Must Not Be Named.'"
"Why? Are they that evil?"
"No, we just can't pronounce their name correctly."
12:15 somer is actually a fairly normal one. It’s an older spelling of summer. It’s French.
It’s just not used often.
5:05 you might as well just write down "prostitute" on the birth certificate at that point 😭 poor kid
nah. Prostitute is a neutral word. What they picked only has _purely_ negative connotations.
@@feha92 not for a CHILD, no.
"Harlot" is part of my burlesque name and that is saying something. 😐
i don't understand whats wrong with the name
@@goldyellow5781harlot: a woman who engages in sex acts and especially sexual intercourse in exchange for pay : a woman who is a sex worker
Or
a woman who has multiple sexual partners : a woman who is sexually promiscuous
If you're going to pick a Middle Earth name pick one that's less known or more normal. Like Tom, after Tom Bombadil (who if you don't know you do yourself a massive disservice), or something like Meriadoc, who can be shortened to Merry, which is literally just a word for joy.
“I like it cause it’s different”
your child, anyone who ever has to spell your child’s name, and anyone who ever has to read your child’s name will not
Me and my boyfriend have decided to name our kid Theodosia if we have a daughter; we’re obsessed with Hamilton and I sob every time I listen to Dear Theodosia so we decided it’d be cute
I’d unironically love to see a psychology test or something on parents like this because genuinely wtf
I can only assume it’s parents DESPERATE to make sure their kid is unique but like a socially acceptable unique
I was substitute teaching back in 2023. Let me tell you, kids names nowadays are so bizzare. There was a girl in the class I was subbing for named 'Karleigh.' Then I was asked if I minded subbing for a different class for last period, as the original teacher I'd been subbing for had last period as their planning period. There, I met a girl whose name was spelled 'Luxsharee'... Her name was Luxury.
I mispronounced her name as Luxray, the fucking pokemon!
8:17 They’re naming their kids like DCU Martians 😭
I am starting to think that these parents are giving their kids names with such terrible spelling, to protect them from Kira if they ever find themselves on the wrong side of the law or become world class detectives, hoping he will struggle so hard with the spelling that he will just give up.
Somebody should educating them on the concept of fiction and a fictional character.

13:12 update on baby Raefarty!!! I’m on the subreddit and the baby was born yesterday (2 weeks early), the mother decided that the baby looked adorable and decided to change the baby’s name… to Theodora Jaczynvil. (The baby was almost called Theodorable but the dad put a foot down on it) 😂
A Raefarty Rose by any other name would smell as sweet….
and it could be pronounced polish as well 😭😭(hi fellow tragedeigh sub Redditor)
At least in my country, 'Star children', with the star behind the name, are babies that were stillborn.
I figured it was just the babies they had already birthed and named, and the rest were the football team members they still had to output.
But your idea honestly sounds more likely, and honestly a kind of sweet way to remember/honor the expectations/dreams and effort that was abruptly bait-n-switched. Personally, I generally don't bother to make a shrine for my ice-cream cones that spill on the ground right before I get to take a bite (to honor the monetary and emotional loss), but it _is_ a romantic thought to do so.
@@feha92 yeah personally bro, I don't know if making an analogy about a spilled ice cream and the death of infant children is proper in this context, but you do you I guess.
Lylyt Yvyh Yryhl sounds like it could summon Lovecraftian horrors beyond comprehension

Never have I felt so much... SORROW. That's the only way I can describe it.

I may not have a brain, but i have a idea.
Hospital staff or whatever government office is in charge of confirming baby names should hold the power of veto for tragedeighs like these
"I like it because it's different"
Dear sir/madam/person of interest _that is a future human adult you're naming_
18 years of bullying is not worth impressing *at most* 2 guests in the baby shower
Reminds me of a story many years ago of a couple in New Zealand who wanted to name their child "4Real'. Births, Deaths and Marriages wouldn't allow that name as it started with a numeric so they named him Superman.

The Hunger Games seems way more realistic now.
To borrow something The Click said, some of these kids aren’t going to learn how to spell their names until they’re about to go to college and god help them if they have dyslexia
I love this subreddit, I’ve waited for so long
Also I didn’t want to say this in the comment but first
fun fact: The Click (another reddit channel) visited this subreddit, and before EmKay
@ I know, I watch the click, I watched his video too, I just wanted to see Emkay do their thing with it
I am incredibly thankful that my parents chose a basic name, the hilarity that ensues at family gatherings is also great (same name as my father and grandfather)
i swear, when people pick these names, it sounds like randomizing a name in Stardew Valley. like, ive literally had a cow and a goat in it named Bromie. these are between HP spells and Stardew
People be naming their kids like my delusional self would name my fictional characters.
ah yes, my favorite channel emk'ieeghla
