50 Names People Once Encountered And Couldn’t Forget Because Of How “Yooneek” They Were
Interview With Expert
In today’s world, we’ve grown used to hearing some pretty unusual names, especially with celebrities leading the way by naming their children things like Apple, Blue Ivy, and North.
However, these choices often pale in comparison to those shared on the subreddit ‘Tragedeigh’, where people reveal the most bizarre and creatively spelled names they’ve encountered. In one of their posts, we found some truly jaw-dropping examples. Check them out below and upvote the ones that surprised you the most!

I used to work with a woman in her 30s named pebbles. customers would always ask, “is that your real name?” and she’d be like, “unfortunately.”.
To understand why parents are choosing unconventional names for their children, Bored Panda got in touch with baby name blogger Abby Sandel.
In the US, Sandel observes that fewer children are receiving top-ranking names compared to fifty, twenty, or even ten years ago. She views this trend positively. “We’re less bound to traditions, freer to choose names that reflect our heritage, identities, and values, and just plain open to more creative names than in the past,” she explains.
This growing acceptance has paved the way for more unique options. “If we meet kids named River and Willow, we’re more open to choosing, say, Canyon and Marigold for our own kids,” Sandel notes. But not all modern names are as extreme. Nature-inspired, surname-style names like Wrenley, Oaklynn, and Wylder are particularly popular these days. However, in the quest for originality, parents sometimes end up with choices that sound quite similar. “Classrooms are filled with girls called Lily, Lilah, Lola, and Lyra. Four different names, but easily confused!”

Justin Sane. Mom swore she didn’t realize.

Somewhere in the world there is a person named Delicious Bush. I engraved a corporate award for that person 25 years ago and never forgot the name.

Twins named Deevious and Keevious. Deevious in particular—both crooks but it feels like someone named Deevious was doomed from birth.
They were identical and at some point got identical tiger tattoos on their right arms so it was always fun figuring out which one you had and if the warrant was for him or his brother.
As far as I know Keevious is still around but Deevious tried to rob the wrong dude in midtown Atlanta a few years ago. Rest in Peecious.
Evolutionary biologist Dr. Mitchel Newberry believes there is an evolutionary reason behind why parents opt for less typical names. In his research, he analyzed databases of names in the US over the last century and found that they go through what he describes as ‘boom and bust’ periods.
When a name becomes very popular, it often ends up being perceived as too common by new parents. Consequently, the more popular a name gets, the less likely future parents are to choose it. This phenomenon is known as negative frequency-dependent selection.
“If people are always thirsting after the newest thing, it creates a lot of new options,” says Dr. Newberry. “Every time a new name is created, it gets attention, allowing rarer names to become more common, leading to greater diversity in the population.”

The parents probably belong to the Pistol Club. They drink ''til 12 and pistol 2.
But while standout names like River and Wylder tend to be well-received, others raise quite a few eyebrows. God, Famous, Casanova, Elmo, and Vader are among the most eccentric baby names Sandel came across last year. “The line between strange-amazing-cool and strange-wait-what is pencil thin, shifts over time, and varies dramatically from person to person,” she writes on her blog.
“Assuming we choose unusual names with our eyes wide open, I think they can be great,” Sandel tells us. “Parents need to recognize that a really different name will require more frequent repetition and spelling, as well as questions. And even if you love that really different name, chances are someone in your life will not. That’s okay, but it’s best to be prepared that grandma might not like the idea of calling her grandchild Wonder, Givenchy, or Gnash.”
“Of course, your child might grow up and wish for a more conventional name,” she adds. “When in doubt, it’s better to name your child Wonder James than Wonder Givenchy. A little bit of balance can make a bold first name feel more wearable.” Ultimately, the decision is entirely in your hands.
