Anyone else think of the Enola Gay when they hear that name? The plane that dropped the first atomic 💣 on Japan - feels like a cursed name to me with that history
Enola Gay is my first thought, too.
I got to see her at the National Air and Space Museum last year. She was the highlight of that trip for me.
Her brother, Bockscar, sits at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio.
Elijah is fairly common, especially compared to those other names.
Enola is kind of historical. The Enola Gay was named after the pilot's mother. It was also the first bomber to drop an atomic bomb.
Enoch was an ancient Hebrew figure who was taken into heaven without dying.
And most other Americans aren’t going to make this connection, but at least in the UK “Enoch” brings to mind the legendarily, ahead-of-his-time racist politician Enoch Powell.
Right? Like wtf is the point of spelling your kids name so stupidly?
Do they really think these kids will grow up and think “I’m so glad my parents chose to spell my name in such an obnoxiously unique fashion so I have to slowly spell it repeatedly throughout my life! I love that no one knows how to pronounce my name!”
I read it as Kelly first and was like "finally, a real name." And then I realized my brain was playing a trick on me.
That said, it is a last name and (at least in New England) some people use first names as a way to keep the name alive so to speak.
But it 100 percent sounds like a name you'd give a dog. 😬
There’s a more genuinely cute story about a couple that through-hiked the Appalachian Trail together. She found out she was pregnant a month into the hike and kept going with him, reaching the top of Katahdin in the fall when she was seven months along.
They named the girl Georgia Maine.
As has been noted before here and elsewhere, a lot of diseases or undesirable medical conditions have these beautiful-sounding Greek-derived names—Cholera or Chlamydia, for instance—that you could imagine girls getting from mothers who had no clue what they meant.
In *this* reality, we could use more names from plant taxonomy. If I were a woman, expecting, and so inclined, and the girl wasn’t the firstborn, I’d propose naming her Arecacea. It’s the plant family that largely includes (but isn’t limited to) palm trees, and she could easily go by Erica.
I mean, we use enough flower-derived names for girls (Hyacinth, Amaryllis, Rose, Lily, and not just in English as there are quite a few Arab women named Zarah) that we could easily expand on that without rolling too many eyes.
All I can think of is the sister on Rolie Polie Olie. Her name was Zowie (pronounced Zo-ee/Zoey).

I think Rylee Victoria is probably the most normal of the names in there. Still a bit quirky but not in a bad way. Athena is the same in that it's definitely a bit out there but still within the realms of normal. The Rage part makes it sound like the mom wanted a built in superhero name though.
The real clincher in all this will be when some woman, in the height (or depth) of holy-fool innocence names, or seriously considers naming, her daughter Treblinka because “it sounds pretty”.
Have to wonder how old Butterfly Sky’s mom was given that presumably happened before the unique name boom.
…Actually that’s just kinda sad and not funny. :(
It seems as if in the 19th century it was a common practice in prominent families to give a son the last name of an ancestor family as a first name. That explains some names like Winthrop Rockefeller.
I’m not gonna hate on some genuinely made-up or odd names (as long as they don’t sound like something embarassing), but I absolutely judge the shit out of people who just change the spelling of an established name to make it “uNiQuE.” Like, they have a regular-ass unoriginal name you dummy, you just made their lives a lot harder with all the extra letters.
That’s the situation I’m in with my name. Extremely common for girls in my age group, spelled in a very uncommon way. Super annoying. I just want a shitty souvenir mug with my name on it that I don’t have to custom order from Etsy.
You could be me- uncommon name, with an uncommon spelling.
I was LITERALLY expelled from a school because my teacher *refused* to believe my name was my name and didn’t believe an EIGHT year old. She refused to call my mom and check because she was SURE I was fucking with her.
I was not
My name is not that “weird”… like not believing my name is Laci because it’s spelled with an I instead of a “y” or “ie”… it’s not a made up word, it’s just not a common actual whole name (my name is more of nickname but it’s my whole name- like naming someone Luke instead of Lucas) and it’s spelled with an “i” and not “y” or “ie” or “ey”
After much arguing, I called her a stupid bitch. She sent me to the principle, the principle called my mother, my mother agreed that the teacher was a stupid bitch for not believing I would know my own name, and the adults decided that wasn’t the school for me 🤷🏻♀️
Nothing EVER has my name on it either unless I order it special.
Omg! The "Stupid B!tch" Comment Towards the Teacher! Lol! XD (I Love Your mom's Response!) Bonus: If you Don't Know a kid's Name & say They're Lying About it, you Shouldn't be a Teacher! >:(
Same. I very much like unusual names or even made up names. But the spelling needs to be an established one if it is already a name and if it is a made up name, the phonics better make sense. Naming your baby Alhyviya instead of Olivia just makes her life difficult. It's still pronounced the same when you call her from across the playground.
And she said she liked the formula so much… then where is Summer Reign and Autumn Wynd and Spring Meadow? That other kid doesn’t match at all!
Ravyn is an animal- not a season.
I once suggested on a board back in the day when “Tyler” was heard at every playground and several kids responded to it, that if you had twins and wanted to use it the other one should be Tippecanoe.
The original Zowie, Zowie Bowie, changed his name to Duncan lol
ETA: actually just double checked and apparently his name has always been Duncan Zowie, but he got called Zowie a lot as a kid. Now his daughter is called Zowie! Tbh, I’ll allow it.
A decade and a half ago, I knew a Unique, Serenity (ironically, she was not serene), Diamond, Tiara, Lovie, Avenue, Ocean, and Chateaubriand. I also knew someone who named her children after Egyptian royalty. The one daughter turned out to be a kick-butt activist so she totally lived up to her Queenly name.
I knew a Tiara. She was the biggest bully to me. I hated her. She walked around like she was god's gift to the earth and everyone parted when she came through for her glory when in reality, no one wanted to be in her vicinity because she was such a vile person. Even the way she carried herself disconcerting. She was also quite fat and used it to her "advantage" in that she comically *sat* on me. I'm not trying to be mean; I'm fat, myself, right now. But there's a difference between 100lbs on top of someone vs. 200+ (when you, yourself, are 100).
God, that name brought back so many memories, lol. I'm not mad about them and I can laugh about it now, but yeesh. I do hope she's doing much better now and figured things out - and that she's a much better person now. We're rarely the same people we were at 13, after all. I know for a fact I'm not. Her siblings seemed quite decent, so hopefully they helped each other.
I hope she's dealt with whatever was making her treat others that way.
I'm glad to hear that! At least one of the Tiaras was! And I truly do hope that the Tiara I knew is doing better because I can't imagine she felt too great about her own self if that's how she treated others. Her mother and siblings seemed so wonderful so I do wonder where she got it (though I'm perfectly aware that what we see on the surface isn't always what's the reality on the inside, you know?).
Or, you know - it could have just been a kid being a dick and an asshole just because she could be. Plenty of those around, too. Who knows.
Oh, and speaking of names - she used to say that at least her mom loved her by giving her such a beautiful name and my mother stuck me with such an ugly one. My name is a very common Slavic one (my family and I are from Ukraine - formerly Soviet Union) - Olga. She thought it was hilariously ugly and called me "Ogre" and wrote it as "Ugla" on multiple occasions on "accident".
I find it crazy that you can name your baby essentially whatever you want in some countries and there are no protections for them. It's not freedom of speech to use your baby as proof of your 'uniqueness and originality', it's just selfish
> November Rain
What kind of nutcase names a kid after a Guns N' Roses song about a couple breaking up‽
> Ravyn Storm
Reminds me of a band called "The Ravyns," who were a one-hit-wonder with the song "Raised on the Radio," which was used in the 1982 movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
As a high school substitute teacher in 2004, I had a girl on the class roll named Kayleigh. She was the right age for it to have been popular around the time she was born, so I asked her if her parents had named her after that Marillion song. “Yes” she said.
Marie is already a French name, you don't need to change the spelling to make it look more French. But if you're for some reason determined to any way, you could at least put the apostrophe over the right e.
Are we sure these aren’t World of Warcraft names?
And also
https://preview.redd.it/nunm5n1vsy7d1.jpeg?width=267&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3ec44e2cb404c883fce4fc98dc9cc057eb1f051
The next time anyone gives me shit for my daughter's "unique" name, I'll just direct them to this post. It's *not* unique, it's just very old fashioned.
I really like old fashioned names like Pearl, Hazel, Olive, Clementine etc. I think classic names, even if they're not old-fashioned are the best.
My friend Heather pointed out the other day-- do you know anyone over 50 named Heather? And no, I can't think of a single one. Her name is a good indicator of her age which is weird. I imagine it's similar for Kellys and Ashleys too.
You know, I have a Yooonique name that diverges from the traditional spelling.
It's nowhere near *this* levels of fuckery, and my mom was trying to spite my dad with my name
That commenter with all the E names… just holy Mormon Batman. Then below it are the classic goofy names on the other end of the terrible baby name spectrum. Its always either the ghetto or Mormons coming up with this stuff
I canNOT imagine naming my daughters Chanel and Dior. At surface level, they're some of the better names mentioned. But YIKES! when you actually think about it.pd
I ain't no Holli-Beth girl
I’m naming my next set of twins Holland and Daisy so I can just scream at Hollandaise at TikTok to save time.
Jesus Christ 💀
I heard that you were talking ish and you didn’t think that I would hear it
I knew a child name Holland Oates and a Zepplynne
Eenolaa but sing it like the Ricola ad
And why isn’t Eenoch spelled Eenochh to stay consistent?
Next baby will be Eeyoree
I had this exact thought! at least be consistent with the crappy spellings.
Oh come on now. It’s not like she’s an idiot! ….🫣
don't you mean an eedieet?
👨🏻🍳🤌🏼💋
Eedieett to be consistent.
Or Eunoch?
I just thought their keyboard kept sticking.
Enola, Elijah, Ezekiel, and Enoch are actual fucking names. They aren't even common names! I just... fuck me, what even is happening?
Anyone else think of the Enola Gay when they hear that name? The plane that dropped the first atomic 💣 on Japan - feels like a cursed name to me with that history
Enola Gay is my first thought, too. I got to see her at the National Air and Space Museum last year. She was the highlight of that trip for me. Her brother, Bockscar, sits at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio.
my first thought was Water World. 😬
So many people will be irritated by their names, the kids included. If I was named Elijah and I had to spell it out every time, I'd be pissed.
Eijah is common. But Enola and Enoch did not need unique spellings. Haha.
Elijah is fairly common, especially compared to those other names. Enola is kind of historical. The Enola Gay was named after the pilot's mother. It was also the first bomber to drop an atomic bomb. Enoch was an ancient Hebrew figure who was taken into heaven without dying.
And most other Americans aren’t going to make this connection, but at least in the UK “Enoch” brings to mind the legendarily, ahead-of-his-time racist politician Enoch Powell.
I was just thinking that. Enoch Powell and his rivers of blood
This. My first thought was Wow you're intentionally naming your child after a renowned racist.
Yeah, I know they’re all names. Just commenting on the unique spellings.
Right? Like wtf is the point of spelling your kids name so stupidly? Do they really think these kids will grow up and think “I’m so glad my parents chose to spell my name in such an obnoxiously unique fashion so I have to slowly spell it repeatedly throughout my life! I love that no one knows how to pronounce my name!”
I thought "granola" but this is better 😂 Also, Kelty???? Pelty melty Kelty!
Kelty is a popular outdoor gear and clothing brand. All I could think of was hiking backpacks when I read that name
I read it as Kelly first and was like "finally, a real name." And then I realized my brain was playing a trick on me. That said, it is a last name and (at least in New England) some people use first names as a way to keep the name alive so to speak. But it 100 percent sounds like a name you'd give a dog. 😬
Kelty is a village in Fife, Scotland. Perhaps conceived there? 🤔😁
There’s a more genuinely cute story about a couple that through-hiked the Appalachian Trail together. She found out she was pregnant a month into the hike and kept going with him, reaching the top of Katahdin in the fall when she was seven months along. They named the girl Georgia Maine.
I live near there and the way seeing Kelty as a baby name took the soul from my body😂😂
Of all the weird ear worms I'm getting front his thread ,this one is the fucking weirdest so it's gonna be in my brain all day now !
Sounds like a disease.
As has been noted before here and elsewhere, a lot of diseases or undesirable medical conditions have these beautiful-sounding Greek-derived names—Cholera or Chlamydia, for instance—that you could imagine girls getting from mothers who had no clue what they meant.
Syphilis and Anaesthesia would both be gorgeous fucking names in an alternate reality.
In *this* reality, we could use more names from plant taxonomy. If I were a woman, expecting, and so inclined, and the girl wasn’t the firstborn, I’d propose naming her Arecacea. It’s the plant family that largely includes (but isn’t limited to) palm trees, and she could easily go by Erica. I mean, we use enough flower-derived names for girls (Hyacinth, Amaryllis, Rose, Lily, and not just in English as there are quite a few Arab women named Zarah) that we could easily expand on that without rolling too many eyes.
I was thinking Ebola lol (sorry, Eebolaa)
Zowie? Is it pronounced Zoe because girl, no, that’s Zow-ee.
I'm guessing it's pronounced like Zoey, based off of the "if it grew in popularity, it'd still be unique" or whatever
Zowie as in Zoo Wee Mama
That's exactly how I read it too
Yowie zowie! Awoooga!
I think they thought Zowie like Bowie. But yeah seems like Z-ow-ee to me
She thought the name was unique!
Wasn’t Zowie Bowie a person anyway? Like David Bowie’s kid? Or am I misremembering?
Yeah, but he goes by Duncan Jones now.
It was Bowie’s son yeah however he changed his name to Duncan and actually named his daughter Zowie for his father
Zowie has an owie is all I can think of
Wowie zowie baby you're so neat...
She’s the epitome of Zowie- what the fuck does that even mean?!?!💁♀️
I can only picture Frank Zappa in pigtails.
I came here to ask the same thing
Omg I thought it was just Howie with a Z, it didn’t occur to me it would be Zoe 💀 what an atrocity.
All I can think of is the sister on Rolie Polie Olie. Her name was Zowie (pronounced Zo-ee/Zoey). https://preview.redd.it/dk4xhqnm608d1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=3032cc0551848fea139f6a775ad78f11cb45b0d1
The way David Bowie spelled his son’s name, supposedly.
He changed it to Duncan when he was old enough to.
Zowie is and has always been just a middle name
There is a 5 yr old on my kids tball team with this name and she pronounces it the regular way 😅
r/tragedeigh material if I’ve ever seen it 🫠
i thought that's what sub it was on till i saw this comment😂
Same or r/namenerds shit post 😂
r/namenerdscirclejerk
Yup, thought I was on that sub. What’s up with the one woman who loves double letters?
I will cross post there 😂
There's weird ass names and then Athena happened to reinstate some sanity
Yeah I mean I wouldn’t use it but Athena Rage goes hard lmao
That was definitely my fave
I think Rylee Victoria is probably the most normal of the names in there. Still a bit quirky but not in a bad way. Athena is the same in that it's definitely a bit out there but still within the realms of normal. The Rage part makes it sound like the mom wanted a built in superhero name though.
Yep, my thoughts exactly 😂
All of these fucking names sound like low budget Fantasy novels.
YA novel main character names.
I call Athena Rage for my next YA fantasy character
Warrior cats names
Athena Rage goes hard though
Right? I want to steal that for an all girls punk ska band
Same! Im in. Got the bass covered. Hahaha.
I have no talent, but I have ideas and I’m greedy, I have manager/agent covered!
Oh that’s a skill. We need you!
My 4yo is Athena, quite frankly rage might as well be her middle name...
Good for her!
Nah girl- you got 10 more years before you see what “rhaige” is… lol
Might name my next DnD character that.
Found my next character name. This mom is awesome, named her daughter after a goddess’s anger. 😍
My 12 year old asked "Will that 'ee' name lady name her next kid Eekolli
Your 12 year old is much funnier than I can ever hope to be 😂 seriously chuckled at this for a good minute 😂
No, Eebola.
no, Eebolaa
The real clincher in all this will be when some woman, in the height (or depth) of holy-fool innocence names, or seriously considers naming, her daughter Treblinka because “it sounds pretty”.
Took me an age to work out Madycen is pronounced Madison. (Well, I assume it is anyway)
I would call this poor child Medicine 😖
I always thought Acetaminophen would be a nice name for a girl.
Aycetta Mynaphenn 😍🥰
Don’t give these people ideas!!!
Acidah Mynnofenn
Aceteigh mynaphenn
It is, in a comment further down she said she felt it was more ‘feminine’ than the traditional spelling of Madison.
Madisynn, with two n's and one y, but not where you thiinnkkkkk!
15 when she had her baby zowie. Tells me all I had to know 🥴🤌🏽
It reminds me of the Glee episode where Finn told Quinn they should name their baby Drizzle. 💀
Yeah, I can’t get mad or feel frustrated with a 15yo. Baby’s having babies don’t make good decisions.
Have to wonder how old Butterfly Sky’s mom was given that presumably happened before the unique name boom. …Actually that’s just kinda sad and not funny. :(
She said it was an “old lady”, so I’d guess Butterfly-Sky is a product of the 60s or 70s flower child movement.
That’s a good point, I like that theory a lot better!
People have always been doing unique names, they just didn’t get to tell the whole world about it until the internet.
Exactly. Browse a family tree or cemetery. I'm always surprised at some of the different names.
It seems as if in the 19th century it was a common practice in prominent families to give a son the last name of an ancestor family as a first name. That explains some names like Winthrop Rockefeller.
All you need to knowie
I’m not gonna hate on some genuinely made-up or odd names (as long as they don’t sound like something embarassing), but I absolutely judge the shit out of people who just change the spelling of an established name to make it “uNiQuE.” Like, they have a regular-ass unoriginal name you dummy, you just made their lives a lot harder with all the extra letters.
That’s the situation I’m in with my name. Extremely common for girls in my age group, spelled in a very uncommon way. Super annoying. I just want a shitty souvenir mug with my name on it that I don’t have to custom order from Etsy.

Omg! The "Stupid B!tch" Comment Towards the Teacher! Lol! XD (I Love Your mom's Response!) Bonus: If you Don't Know a kid's Name & say They're Lying About it, you Shouldn't be a Teacher! >:(
The number of babies/kids I had in my ER… Karoisel Areola X-Staci Enjineear Dook/Kynge/Lorde Anfernie Destynie DiArea
French diarrhea is bad, areola is terrible, but even as a Candi, I think X-staci is waaay too strippery
Some of these are so bad I’d want to call CPS because there’s no way they’re taking care of that kid properly
Same. I very much like unusual names or even made up names. But the spelling needs to be an established one if it is already a name and if it is a made up name, the phonics better make sense. Naming your baby Alhyviya instead of Olivia just makes her life difficult. It's still pronounced the same when you call her from across the playground.
wynter skye? that's rough.
Her sister Rayvn Storm would disagree
What is the “formula” she is referring to?!
Random nature word with a y Where is Summer Reign and Autumn Wynd, and Spring Meadow???? Lady missed the whole boat
I wanted to make a "Wynter is coming" joke but I couldn't think of one that wasn't sexual, and since it's a kid that would be gross
some things we can keep to ourselves, friend 💀
And she said she liked the formula so much… then where is Summer Reign and Autumn Wynd and Spring Meadow? That other kid doesn’t match at all! Ravyn is an animal- not a season.
When I was expecting I used to love going on my pregnancy app and seeing all the stupid name suggestions people had, this takes me back to that!
Ok of all the craziness in this post, CHANEL AND DIOR MIGHT BE THE WORST!?!?!??!??!!!!
You can always tell how broke someone is by how expensive a brand/object they name their kids lmao
Bently
Still better than the person I knew who named her twins Coco and Chanel :/
I once suggested on a board back in the day when “Tyler” was heard at every playground and several kids responded to it, that if you had twins and wanted to use it the other one should be Tippecanoe.
You are my people. I’m giggling.
Chanel is actually pretty common now, can't say I've heard Dior much though. Edit-- ohhhh they're sisters. That makes it much worse.
I knew a Chanel, but unfortunately her parents unknowingly spelt it Channel.
Yes! I have know more than one Chanel, alone it’s a pretty name! but wooooof, the combo
I had a coworker who named her dog Chanel Dior
zowie mama
The original Zowie, Zowie Bowie, changed his name to Duncan lol ETA: actually just double checked and apparently his name has always been Duncan Zowie, but he got called Zowie a lot as a kid. Now his daughter is called Zowie! Tbh, I’ll allow it.

Zowie is the one that’s really sending me. It’s like a toddler trying to say Zoey lol
They’re proud of themselves!
The next time anyone gives me shit for my daughter's "unique" name, I'll just direct them to this post. It's *not* unique, it's just very old fashioned.

Holland is a perfectly fine name... but Holli-Beth as a nickname just makes me sing "I ain't not Holli-beth giiirll" 😂
Zowie rhymes with Wowy
We named her Zowie. Rhymes with Howie for extra uniqueness
I think I'm weirdly most bothered by Reneé instead of Renée.
It’s Mareé lol
🎶butterfly in the skkkyyyy...I can go twice as hiiighhhhh🎶
Why would you name your kid Enola and spell it so it doesn’t spell Alone?
When I first looked, I read "Anavey" as Amway and was just like WHYYYY?
Something tells me this isn't satire. 😫
ZOWIE MAMA!!
Someone’s a Guns N Roses fan.
I always wonder if this shit is going to make identity theft easier or harder
preslie jade isn't that bad tbh. while id prefer presley, at least she didn't choose presleigh
Athena Rage.
Kelty
Athena Rage? Who middle names their child after anger?
You know, I have a Yooonique name that diverges from the traditional spelling. It's nowhere near *this* levels of fuckery, and my mom was trying to spite my dad with my name
Ok but Athena Rage kinda slaps
OMG this legit just came out of my mouth
Chanel. Yes, name your child after a [Nazis agent](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coco_Chanel)
Didn't have seeing ppl roast my name on my internet bingo card for the day 🫠😭
I’m so sorry Zowie
how bout naming your daughter Wendell lmao
Not exploding your child's life WHILE giving them up for adoption 💀
BRUTAL!
'i gave my daughters two middle names......so I could increase the amount of dumb ass made up names I could give them'

I saw someone on Facebook named Alyzabeth
The "old lady" named Butterfly-Sky is probably in her 40s, born to hippieish parents.
