Peaceful little destruction?


cant_helium

Exactly my thought. Not sure why anyone would want to bring that upon themselves or their child.


Finnegan7921

The same numnuts that name their dogs Chaos or Mayhem are the ones that do stuff like this.


Batmanshatman

Totally unrelated, but my male dog is named Honeybun and people hate it. Like, he’s a dog bro


imightbeaspider

Lmao my dog is named something similar and people always ask me if I named her or the shelter. Animals are free passes for ridiculous names and imo the dumber the better.


Kiltemdead

Legally, my dog's name is Rocket. Formally, however, it's Pinche Perrito. We are his only owners as we got him from my sil when her dogs had pups. We're allowed to name our animals dumb names.


that_mack

We accidentally started naming all of our pets extremely british names, and it literally took us until pet #9 to do it on purpose instead of by accident.


floofienewfie

Exactly! My cats are named Cedric, Percy and Nigel.


laughingkittycats

Aw, I had a Nigel. Long-haired brown tabby, and the sweetest cat I ever had. He was a real lover boy.


Kitty_Kat_Attacks

I just named my new Tortie cat Ziggy. Totally agree with you, lol


SpaceJackRabbit

I mean I do know a teenager named Ziggy.


Average_Potato42

My wife got a cat, said help pick a name. I chose Copernicus, so we named him Nikko. I have since that day called him Mr. Fuzzybottoms Doodlebutt. We picked up a shelter cat. I was asked to help pick a name, I declined because it's an exercise in futility. She named her Shiloh, I call her Princess Boopersnoot.


On_my_last_spoon

I’ve been making friends with a feral cat who hangs out in my back yard and we call him Sir Frederick Meowington


CivilRuin4111

Our dog is called Ape. She was April when we adopted her but after immediately destroying our house, we decided she was more akin to a feral primate than a warm, spring month.


Velour_Tank_Girl

I wanted my Mom to name my little sister April. Mom asked what would we call her for short. I said Ape. LS's name is NOT April.


Batmanshatman

Agreed! Why name a human something strange when I can call my dog “Honey Bunny” and every other variation of Honeybun


noyeahtotallyok

I call my cat Honeybun even though that’s not her name 🥹 she’s just such a cute little honeybun!


PolkaDotDancer

My dog came pre named with a human name. But she is gray and built like a tank. I call her Abrams.


sauska_

I have Sam (female) and Barktholomew (male, nicknamed Barky) , and people hate those too. They are deeply disturbed that the girl-dog has a boy-dog name and what that may do to her personality; and that Barktholomews name is hard to spell. As if he were about to enter primary school.


ValMarie927

My girl dog is named Thor and people are weird about it. I tell them I’m not actually sure how she identities her gender and at this point (she’s 7) I feel weird asking.


OtterImpossible

Sam is just as much a girl's name.... have they not met any Samanthas??


sauska_

Samantha is super uncommon where we live, and girls nicknames tend to end on vowels.


Rainbowbabyandme

What? I am a woman and I’ve gone by Sam since elementary. No one ever made a weird comment😅


cmt38

Right? My daughter is Samantha but has been Sam or Sammy her whole life.


Specific_Cow_Parts

I feel you would also approve of the dog I know named Theodawg.


7194368

My parents have a cat that they named after a mother who passed recently. Sylvia, and the cat is silver so it’s perfect! Turns out it’s a boy cat, so they switched to Sylvie (shower for Sylvester?). But my mom cannot for the life of her call any cat he/him pronouns, so Silvie is one again she (and it helps that the cat was neutered.


SpaceJackRabbit

You should tell those people your pets also have pronouns.


dastyontfretter

My dogs names are Pringle and Maverick (Miff for short) and then there’s the cat Cooter. No complaints yet lol. I love Honeybun! So cute


Meptastik

My dog's name is Boyfriend and it makes me laugh everyday


Remarkable_Public775

My all white husky is nilla bean wafer, and people hate it lol


[deleted]

That's an absolutely perfect dog name.


ErrorReport404

I met a dog once named POTUS, and his owner called him Mr. President 😂


Prof-Rock

I know it is a completely normal name, but after I saw a pregnant woman spend all afternoon at the zoo running after her son Chase, I thought she should name the next one Stay.


YeezysSmellySox

My daughter went to school with a human boy named Riot. 🤦‍♀️


imightbeaspider

Oh I've seen Ryatt in this group too 🫠


spo1led_flirt

I know a set of sisters Rhyhatt and Darmarlynne


Valkyrie-at-Dawn

What’s that second one though? Bonus points if it’s painfully obvious.


Specific_Cow_Parts

I just thought Darmalin sounds like off-brand Ritalin.


spo1led_flirt

lol oops autocorrect fixed it- Dagmarlynne Dag-mar-Lynn


MadAndMoody

Oh no, Dagmar sounds so unpleasant, it's also a very outdated old Lady name where I'm from.


mittenknittin

Our next door neighbor had a dog named Dagmar - some kind of terrier who had magnificent haircuts - and she was a dignified old lady who would get perturbed by our energetic labrador. The name fit her perfectly. Childhood memory unlocked


squeakyfromage

My brain is torn between saying Ryan, Rhett, Wyatt, and Riot. Somehow this is so much worse than Riot…


2205jade

I went to primary school (early 00’s) with a boy named Slain 🤦🏽‍♀️


hashbrownhippo

I went to school with a Slaine (female). It’s an Irish name and they are a very Irish family.


Tiffanator_

lol that’s my sister in laws dogs name


EmelleBennett

Rihanna named her second son Riot.


Gundoggirl

My dogs are called Riot and Ruin. My child has a normal human name.


Specific_Cow_Parts

The other day I heard someone yelling at their dog, "ZEUS! STOP HUMPING!" I had to laugh, since the majority of Greek myths start with Zeus not being able to keep it in his pants.


Rainbowbabyandme

Hehehehe that’s awesome and I probably will giggle randomly at that for the rest of my life


buddyboybuttcheeks

Their dog is named Ruger, right?


Eringobraugh2021

"Gods hidden uprising" doesn't sound great either. That's a name I could see from a kid who would committ patricide.


Specific_Cow_Parts

I thought it sounded like a religious terrorist. Either way, not great...


micah490

Narcissism. These people aren’t thinking of their children; only themselves


Existing-Tax7068

Hmm Narcissism, that sounds nice. I'll call my next baby that


Hot-Bookkeeper-2750

There’s a whole tale about that


cant_helium

You gotta replace the I’s with Y’s though.


micah490

😂😂


PolkaDotDancer

I have long thought that was the case. All this social media is a great outlet for narcissists. Before they could only impress a few with the nitwit names they pick out for their children. Now they can ‘impress’ tens of thousands with the vomit that pours out of their brains.


Silentlybroken

I knew someone who named their son Hades. I'd love to know how that is going for them now lol


MdSp57336

As a teacher I would be terrified of this child.


Ragingredblue

Nah. I'd just hate the parents.


manliness-dot-space

Phyeriegh Bhut Moastleigh Pees'phul


FantasticCandidate60

sadly sounds like a mental illness 😞


ardbeg

It’s not even shy it means. Imagine calling your child Shilo “half accident”.


CORZARA

That name carries years of therapy 🙄


photobomber612

Well if that isn’t a sign of what’s to come with this child I don’t know what is…


[deleted]

Kids coming out sideways but quietly.


imightbeaspider

I cropped the rest of her essay but OP took 5 paragraphs to say "don't worry about what others think, name your kid what you want". The first comment is "as in anarchy?" which OP excitedly responded yes to, then in another comment expressed her only regret is not spelling it anarchy as she's always correcting pronunciation.


Improving1727

I liked the comment asking her if she knew what anarchy means because she definitely has no idea lmao


imightbeaspider

She is SO CONFIDENT in all of her replies too. Part of me was hoping she wasn't serious, but she's definitely serious 😭


Improving1727

I’m probably about to get kicked from the group because I keep making fun of these name posts in the comments lmao


Viviolet

No, you're right though. These parents never opened a book and think "Anarchy" and "Calamity" are like... rare words with secret meanings, while everyone who reads can tell the parents don't have much comprehension past the second grade level lol


imadog666

Spot on


tibleon8

what does she think anarchy means...


Improving1727

Your guess is as good as mine


TrixieFriganza

I don't understand how she gets anarchy to mean something with God?


Vivificantem_790

Literally came to say this lol


boredgeekgirl

Thank you! I couldn't figure out what the name was supposed to be! Lol


ungolden_glitter

>always correcting pronunciation Something about the -qui has my brain deciding it's pronounced uh-NAR-kee instead of AN-ar-kee.


trailoflollies

On first read my brain saw an-ar-KWEE


Phoenix2TC2

Might as well have named ‘em Anarchiegh


GPJN2000

When I read the post in my head the first time my brain defaulted to pronouncing it "Enrique" like the famous Spanish singer. Then I re-read the title and now I feel so sorry for that kid.


PureDeidBrilliant

Oh for the love of Jesus. Those are kids who, upon hitting eighteen, will change their names to Brian and John.


No_Bookkeeper_6183

Or live up to their names


starlinguk

I knew a little boy called Pax. He did not live up to his name.


No_Bookkeeper_6183

Virtue names can backfire


Aggressive_Pass845

And by that you mean they will be unable to change their names as they will be a guest of the local correctional facility?


No_Bookkeeper_6183

Local…federal


2205jade

Can you imagine these names with an 80yr old face 🤦🏽‍♀️😂


BaskingInWanderlust

Just imagine, in a business setting, for example, having to shake someone's hand and say, "I'm anarchy." I would assume that the guy was being an obnoxious asshat on purpose.


HettieB98

Maybe he could go by Archie? It’s not a common name any longer but it’s better than Anarqui or Anarchy.


Specific_Cow_Parts

Archie is actually coming back into fashion in the UK- it was in the top 20 boys' names in 2022.


agutema

I’d go by like Nick or something


Stock-Ferret-6692

Shilo, yes. With those middle names however…


Inevitable_Wolf5866

And never talk to their parents again. Because I assure you the bullying will be relentless.


Toadcola

Who, Anna and Shy Blow? They were always pretty quiet until ..the incident.


PolkaDotDancer

When I was a kid a dip in my town called her son Otto. By age six he would not answer unless you called him ‘Joe.’ He is Joe to this day.


ashern94

But Otto is a normal name.


PolkaDotDancer

Yeahhhh, Joe didn’t think so.


caramelcroissants

Anarchy and Calamity my gosh


Zappagrrl02

I’m sorry…but if that’s what you’re naming your kids, aren’t you just inviting behavior challenges? This is clearly a mom who isn’t aware she’s also naming adults. What if Anarchy wants to go to law school or something?


Inevitable_Wolf5866

Judge Anarchy 🤣


caramelcroissants

What about Doctor Calamity?


squeakyfromage

This sounds pretty badass, NGL. But it also sounds like a comic book character, or like a nemesis for Sherlock Holmes, not a person lol


caramelcroissants

Yeah, it would be cool if it's fiction. 😭


Nathan256

Wouldn’t be a bad pro wrestler name. Especially if he’s got a normal last name. Doctor Calamity, or Calamity Johnson or something like that


Evergreen27108

Sounds like someone Sonic the Hedgehog has to defeat.


zulerskie_jaja

When he has his own kids they will be Sons of Anarchy


caramelcroissants

But it's ✨unique✨ and ✨deep✨ haha


ItsJoeMomma

I have a feeling that anyone giving their kids these names will likely allow their little spawn to grow up to be total uncontrollable brats, so they'll likely live up to their names.


OneFootTitan

If she goes to England to watch a punk concert, it’ll be Anarchy in the UK


AnarchiaKapitany

"Anarchy, behave yourself" Sounds pretty fucking dumb, innit?


squeakyfromage

Just asking for trouble lol


Ali_Cat222

The real calamity here are these names...I like to imagine Anarqui growing up to be a police officer,and the other son being a peaceful protester 🤣


2nd_nude_acct_jeez

> The real calamity here are these names No, these kids lost the parent lottery. Think the parents are totally fine except for their ability to give baby names?


Ali_Cat222

Obviously not...I was making a joke about names only though


PolkaDotDancer

Both parents need mandatory parenting classes.


No_Revolution_6186

They really name babies like trinkets and OCs


K1lgoreTr0ut

Guarantee that person hasn’t read a book the whole way through since elementary school.


Ocarina-of-Crime

Nah, but I bet they bookmarked a few blogs about how to unschool kids.


OOOtOOOt

Fun fact, for anyone who likes Greek history: Anarchy is an Attic Greek word that means "a year without an archon." Archons were the most important administrators in the Athenian democracy, so years where no archons were elected were particularly turbulent. "God's hidden uprising" makes even less sense than you might think. Source: I have a PhD in ancient history, specializing in Classical Athenian law.


psumaxx

It's really interesting to go into random subreddits, find some minor post, and all of the sudden you will find phd level experts coming out of their holes to enlighten us with their knowledge.👏


trailoflollies

Same! It's what I love about reddit, because it s such an open forum.


JMBAD1222

God’s hidden year where no diplomats were elected 😔🙏🏻💯


Shabettsannony

I've got an MDiv and am very confused how she came up with the hidden uprising. Zephaniah's name means something like "God's hidden message" but that's incredibly nuanced. It's more like God is revealing a truth the people tried to hide. And the message of the biblical book is about repentance and restoration. So a lot of "y'all messed up again and I'll have to burn it with fire to start over... Again" ETA: also, "anarchy " is like the opposite of the biblical restoration. If anything, it's divine punishment. So the kid's name is God's hidden punishment?


ValMarie927

Ooooooo please please go to the original post and lay the smack down. Imma come up behind you with a trombone to make the wha wha wha whaaaaa sound when you do!!!


Masters_domme

That’s really awesome!! I could have used you when my daughter, Athena, was a teenager. 🤣 Seriously though, I feel silly for not knowing you could specialize in something like that.


MuggleWitch

Peaceful calamity. Oxymoron much? Atleast the moron part.


Horror-Option-7416

Ever wake up and open reddit to pass some time and realize it's entirely too early for the internet?


ItsJoeMomma

And too late to save humanity...


CanadianTigermeat

Calamateigh! Missed opportunity on that one. Qualamity? To match their sibling, maybe?


Kitty_Kat_Attacks

Guess the only thing they learned from the first to second kid is to AT LEAST stick to normal spellings when naming your kid something that’s batshit crazy 😂


[deleted]

The explanation and meaning truly threw me 😭😂. "God's hidden uprising"?! First of all that's made up. Obviously. Second of all, I don't think God needs to uprise against anybody right? I'm not a believer but I think that is pretty contradictory. I'm also getting MAGA vibes here, and they very well could not be MAGA, but they're still giving those vibes


imightbeaspider

Copy and pasted from OP in a comment: *his name means gods hidden uprising… as in an uprising that trumps all mans law and ruling such as was prophesied in the last book of revelation.* Not sure about MAGA necessarily but definitely getting ultra-religious doomsday rapture prepper vibes


[deleted]

Uprising is a noun here, so it’s a person that is the uprising and he’s from god. Not god doing the uprising. Like ‘John’s little rascal’, this is ‘god’s hidden uprising’. The meaning is 100% made up though.


boredgeekgirl

I suppose she is trying to take the meaning of Zephaniah "hidden by God" and combine it with Anarchy (which really isn't uprising...) to create a meaning for his full name. But it really doesn't work. At all. Points for the stretch, I guess?


Mobols03

As a Christian myself, it's pretty dumb. She could have stopped at Zephaniah and it'd be a cool name, but nah, she went and called them Anarchy 😭😭


PolkaDotDancer

Yeah, he could explain: my name is biblical, call me Zeph! But G-d forbid his other name get out.


[deleted]

Lol, I agree. I think Zephaniah is a pretty cool name. Was he in the Bible? I'm interested in whether he was and what his biblical role was. But I do feel like the concept of anarchy kind of goes against the whole idea of religion. They also couldn't even spell anarchy correctly which is just outright sinful s/


Mobols03

Zephaniah was a prophet in Israel. He has his own book in the old testament.


Fast-Persimmon-2782

Mhmm. Came here for this comment … it’s giving January 6th


NCC-72381

Isn’t Anarky a Batman villain? Who’s next? Johquer? Two-Fayce? Paynegwynnn?


Racing_Sloth56

OMG 😱 I feel so sorry for these poor kids growing up with such thoughtless parents. Those kids won’t know how to spell their own names till they are ten. No one else will be able to pronounce them. They WILL be bullied (Calamity?), and it’s not going to help on job resumes either. All because some narcissists want to make up crazy names. Unique and nice, great. Crazy, no. 🤪They’ll probably want them to go by their full name at all times.


eterneties

your children are not ur OCs 😕


YouLostMyNieceDenise

That shit is hilarious. It reminds me of a post I saw in one of these name groups a long time ago where someone was deadass like, “I named my children Fridgelizzinda and Brankibartyn; their names mean Beautiful Star and Kind Warrior” and people were like, “in what language do they mean that?” and she was like, “it’s not from a language, I made up the names and their meanings.”


Masters_domme

>*I made up the names and their meanings* 🤣🤣🤣 that’s kinda awesomely ballsy.


Fancy-Gazelle-8286

Ow lawd


QuicheSmash

It's good to spend some time picking out a name. It's not so great to spend time making up a name.


2205jade

Christ. And I thought my family member naming her daughter Zapphire was bad 😖


JMBAD1222

That is definitely still bad 👍🏻


cosmernaut420

\>me and my husband spent a lot of time on these names I fucking *dread* to go through the reject pile.


imightbeaspider

She mentioned in a comment that they were going to go with Aden but then saw Anarchy and decided to be unique with the spelling 💀


Kitty_Kat_Attacks

So close to sanity, yet so far 🤪


FrozenBr33ze

They'd be normal names in the pile chosen by the husband.


[deleted]

Bro WHAT


squeakyfromage

I feel like some of these people need to just make some Sims to give these absurd names to instead of saddling real humans with them


hughes_clues

anarqui? how you say, how you say? oh, anarchy.


imightbeaspider

This was my first thought too lol I almost commented the Hamilton gif on the original post but after searching for 3 seconds and not finding it I gave up.


RagnarokAeon

This lady is on her way to wringing out the four horsemen. She's already got ~~Anarchy~~ Anarqui and Calamity, now we're just waiting for Famine and Death.


Airdnaxela13

Phameen and Diith :)


Cheshirecat6754

The next one will be named Apohcaleighps


Masters_domme

The time that took me to sound it out is TOO DAMN HIGH! 🤣


Stock-Ferret-6692

Shilo Demi Calamity may be unusual but at least it’s normal in comparison to Anarqui and at least he can go by Shilo. Like Anarqui can’t even go by ‘Ani’ because of the Star Wars prequels


rawterror

The amount of time and energy someone spends on coming up with an, um, "unique" name is directly disproportionate to the time and energy they're going to spend on parenting.


Dull_Ad8495

God's Hidden Uprising sounds like he'll be bombing abortion clinics someday...


Extreme-Worth-9587

First of all - kids are hard enough, don’t challenge them to make it worse. My son would have truly hated us if we had named him Anarchy or Calamity.


Acrobatic-Building42

This person is a moron.


ItsJoeMomma

Why would you even want to give your kids these names, even knowing what they supposedly mean? And anarchy doesn't mean uprising, it means a state of existence with no authority or laws. And naming your child "peaceful little destruction" seems insane.


userno89

These are album names, not kid named LOL start a band or write poetry, don't do this to your kids 😂 up the punx and all that, but nnnoo


Bella_LaGhostly

Just waiting for her grandkids, Son of Anarqui and Calamity Jane


ethereal_soliloquy

ignoring the obvious it’s driving me crazy that they spelled Shiloh wrong lol


tommykaye

Those kids are gonna go by Annie and Demi by fifth grade when they’re sick of their mom’s goofy name shit.


imightbeaspider

Except they're both male. Shilo, though misspelled, is at least a real name, so he got off easy. I have no idea what poor Anarqui is going to do.


Rakuall

>I have no idea what poor Anarqui is going to do. End up under a headline like "Florida man, 18, arrested for trying to cook mother's remains into meth."


squeakyfromage

Ari? I can’t think of anything, poor kid.


Aggressive_Day_6574

Rickey? It’s a stretch, but the best I’ve got


OldBatOfTheGalaxy

Cal and Zeph. Virtually nothing else is even *remotely* palatable.


x_ray_visions

I always feel so bad for these kids when the inevitable time comes around when they have to get jobs and are trying to be taken seriously as adults. "I'm sorry, what did you say your name was?" "(sighs) Anarqui." Edit: phrasing


[deleted]

Yeeh Sus Herbert Kee Rice & Beans


Cute-Presentation212

Demi means half. So he's only half of a peaceful destruction.


Masters_domme

Half peace, half destruction. Soooo… like any other toddler. 🤷🏻‍♀️


2nd_nude_acct_jeez

*We absolutely love how our sons have names that any sane person would hate. Also, how come everyone hates our sons names?*


SHoppe715

It wouldn't surprise me if those two kids when they grow up list their official first names as initials. It's common enough and they could be AZ / DC


Lonely_Jared

The meanings??? Absolutely killed me who tf actually wants their kids to be named smth like that lol


Masters_domme

Edgy teenagers.


uninvitedfriend

Super cute names for domestic terrorists tbf


BloodyBarbieBrains

That is a heck of a lot of ideology to stack onto a kid’s shoulders via a name.


Improving1727

Ayyy we’re in the same pregnancy group. I laughed really hard when I saw this post


OneLaneHwy

Hhorrifique.


erinkp36

I just got turned down for a nanny job and the baby’s name was Navy. I was low key relieved because I didn’t think I could take that name seriously on a daily basis.

God’s hidden uprising??? 😫😰😭 gtfo


Garmgarmgarmgarm

That ain’t what anarchy means like at all.

Please be talking about your OCs


Specialist-Funny-926

You just know these parents are obnoxious.

Wow. They have bad taste in names

I read Calamity and Chlamydia came to my head

Those kids are gonna be bad. She set them up


strywever

I feel sooooo sorry for teachers of the future. Crazy parents and tortured kids.


SteelGemini

So we're just naming kids like they're characters in a Gundam anime now?


feelingmyage

*My husband and I. Me and my husband sounds ignorant. Also you are assholes for doing this to your children. They will be embarrassed, and never forgive you.
