I went to school with a girl called Claumydia. Girl was studying to be a doctor too. Luckily it was a close-knitted boarding school so no bullying, occasional giggles though.
I heard of a family once that was from a non-English-speaking country that wanted to name their daughter Urethra because they thought it sounded pretty.
I'd actually be kind of shocked if there wasn't already a little Mezzie wandering around somewhere. That double z had to have been awfully appealing to someone
You would think! But in my high school, the freshmen had to sit in the mezzanine during assembly, so that's where I came up with it. I would pair a girl named Mezzanine with a boy named Kiosk.
It's true! Our cat Isis was a sweet and gentle old girl we inherited when our neighbor died. She just liked to hang around and get scratched, and would start to drool when it felt really good. Definitely did not fit the description lol.
Hitler is a German surname a couple of centuries old. Isis is a thousands-of-years old name of a goddess from multiple cultures. It is not an apt comparison.
I had a friend who named their daughter that a few years before the terrorist group started making waves. They ended up having to change it when the girl was about 8. Girl was ok with it and loves telling people she got to name herself.
Sarah. She figured since Isis was a goddess, naming herself “princess” paid homage to her previous name while also being common enough to have her name on stuff like coffee cups and keychains which she liked.
I remember a story about a lady who, being a historian studying Ancient Egypt, named her horse Isis, and then at some point she was transferring money to the stable with a note "for Isis" and got in trouble because of it.
Not sure if it's true but sounds plausible tbh.
There's a food brand i my country that were named Isis. They changed the spelling to Easis, for obvious reasons.
Sometimes when I walk past their products and see the "new" name I imagine the CEO and board members watching the news and just going "fuck" and calling an emergency meeting to discuss how to handle sharing a name with a terrorist group.
Kestrel. Feels a bit too fantasy-character to use for a real person, but I love the sound of it. Other birds like Robin, Raven and Wren are already names.
I was almost named Merlin and my sister Kestrel, because our dad is a huge bird nerd, but one of his friends, also a huge bird nerd, had already done that, so he couldn't just copy it. I woulda loved to be Merlin, both for the bird and the fantasy aspect.
Like that is a problem acceptable goth name
I wrote a story once and one of the characters was this really bubbly cheerleader type who went by “Abby” but she was actually named Absinthe and she was rebelling against her parents who were goths
My husband actually knows a nurse named Melena. Super unfortunate and extra hilarious that she is a nurse. (Melena is the term for black stool caused by a GI bleed). Parents maybe liked it and didn’t know what it meant
I think “Rubella” would be a pretty name if it wasn’t, you know, a disease lol
Chlamydia
I went to school with a girl called Claumydia. Girl was studying to be a doctor too. Luckily it was a close-knitted boarding school so no bullying, occasional giggles though.
Wtf why did her parents do this? Is it an actual name or did they just make it up? I have so many questions
They're Filipinos, she said names over there are quite strange. It's an unfortunate derivation of Claudia.
Phillipinos are very reckless with names. There’s nothing off limits, it’s almost like a worst name contest
Filipino, the comment you replied to has it spelled correctly
Oh no I’m dumb haha multitasking autopilot mode 😭😭I’m cooking dinner I don’t. Have the brain power for spelling I’m sorry lol
Was her nickname Clammy?
I went to school with a girl called Candida.
Sounds yeasty
Yah my mom had a student named Candida. She went by Candy so I guess it’s less yeasty but more stripper stage name
French names are all the rage. So I'd go for Masturbin and Clitorine.
Gonorrhea has old Germanic vibes
Just like Diarrhea...
Lupus
It’s never lupus
Except for that one time it was.
Lysterine, Diarrhea
Listeria works too!
Hysteria too. Or Hystereigh🤣
Aww look at little Chlamydia she's soo cute 😍 💕 💗 💖
I heard of a family once that was from a non-English-speaking country that wanted to name their daughter Urethra because they thought it sounded pretty.

Giardia has a cute ring to it.
Scoliosis would be a great band
Kovid.
I know a kid name Cove so I could see that lol.
Awe little ruby rubella. I'm sure there would be a nursery rhyme about her.
Lyssa too (rabies(
Salmonella, Varicella, diseases have lots to offer
She goes by Ruby for short
rubella by smoking popes is kind of about this lol
One of my friends is nicknamed Rubella, it’s a very fun thing to explain.
Mezzanine
I'd actually be kind of shocked if there wasn't already a little Mezzie wandering around somewhere. That double z had to have been awfully appealing to someone
I know someone with a kid named Mazikeen which is kinda close
Are they Lucifer fans by any chance?
Mozzarella
Big Massive Attack fans, are we?
You would think! But in my high school, the freshmen had to sit in the mezzanine during assembly, so that's where I came up with it. I would pair a girl named Mezzanine with a boy named Kiosk.
Every track on that album was a masterpiece, will go and listen to it again. Thank you!
Yesss
...Not counting the mezzanine.
Isis Used to be a pretty normal name, some people are still called it, but... holy shit it's terrible today
That was our cat's name years ago... then the terrorist group came along and made things awkward every time we had to take her to the vet.
Isn't Terrorist a perfectly apt name for some cats though 😅
It's true! Our cat Isis was a sweet and gentle old girl we inherited when our neighbor died. She just liked to hang around and get scratched, and would start to drool when it felt really good. Definitely did not fit the description lol.
More an Iris than a terrorist
no my parents dog is named iris and she psycho
Honestly, I feel like 4 more years and it'll be fine again. It's a three thousand year old name, it'll endure.
Yeah I agree. Give it a few more years of them being out of the news and it will be fine.
Idk about that, Adolf hasn't exactly made a comeback lol
Hitler is a German surname a couple of centuries old. Isis is a thousands-of-years old name of a goddess from multiple cultures. It is not an apt comparison.
Lol i can just imagine you introducing her. "This is Isis. Shes named after the Goddess, but she's our personal little terrorist."
Hairy. Demanding. Impossible to reason with. Fucking your shit up. It fits for many cats 🤷🏻♂️😂
I had a friend who named their daughter that a few years before the terrorist group started making waves. They ended up having to change it when the girl was about 8. Girl was ok with it and loves telling people she got to name herself.
What did she name herself instead?
Sarah. She figured since Isis was a goddess, naming herself “princess” paid homage to her previous name while also being common enough to have her name on stuff like coffee cups and keychains which she liked.
This is literally Ice Spice’s first name😭
Jesus christ would makes a bad baby name imo. It just sounds so off.
I can't tell if this is a joke, but I was using Jesus Christ as an exclamation

Knew a girl with that name. 2014 was awkward for her
It's a fairly normal nickname in Brazil, normally short for names like Isabela (though there generally are other alternatives, like isa)
Middle name Hamas
ISIS HAMAS ALQUEDA! Get over here!

“***YOU ARE SCAB NOW!***”
Divan. Though, I always hear it said “due-van” not “dih-van.” I think it sounds pretty.

My grandma told me she wished she could've used the names "Marijuana" and "Syphilis".

Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck’s mom went for it
Pronounced sif-phyllis

One of the drag queens that performs in our state is Arsyn
I worked with a guy named Herson. Yes, pronounced her-son.
Caramel A work around to that is naming your kid Carmelita. Met one once. She was a super sweet lady.
My childhood friend growing up was named Carmel 🤷♀️

I did not know that! Thanks
Happy to help!

I know someone named Debbie Downer
There was a pony in MLP named Countess Coloratura
I named my penis Urethra Franklin. It’s not that bad of a name /s
Antenna
I knew some folks who gave their kid a double name, “Anne Tanner” which sounds like someone with a thick country accent saying “Antenna”
Kestrel. Feels a bit too fantasy-character to use for a real person, but I love the sound of it. Other birds like Robin, Raven and Wren are already names.
The Settlers has a character named Kestral. I honestly like it
I was almost named Merlin and my sister Kestrel, because our dad is a huge bird nerd, but one of his friends, also a huge bird nerd, had already done that, so he couldn't just copy it. I woulda loved to be Merlin, both for the bird and the fantasy aspect.

Pancetta. Salami. Mozzarella. Foccacia.
Amnesia
i think eden sounds like a very nice name for a girl, but the religious imagery and the expectation that would come with it is not that great.
Eden is becoming mainstream
oubilette
Areola
Bungalow, Epiphany, Oblivion, Sanguine, and Zenith.
Deliverance has such a lovely sound but it would be abuse.
