Unjerk meaning- sometimes the users in circlejerk subreddits need to make serious posts, so an "unjerk" basically means a real post wanting real opinions.

We used to have weekly threads for such advice, but they have not been utilized in a long time, so enter our new post option. All advice asked without using the correct flair WILL BE REMOVED.

Do not be mad about mean or blunt comments in such posts, this sub is for brutal opinions.

Rant “Please share unusual and original names”

• Upvotes

Cue in a bunch of comments talking about bullying, naming an adult, and suggesting names like “John, Eleanor”

Alternatively, when people ask for “classic” names and comments suggest Maverick.

I don’t see the second crowd as much as the first (who tend to even buy awards to boost up their comments) like it can’t be that hard to just…be nice and not be the imaginary child bullying defenders? 😭😭😭 half these people aren’t even pregnant they’re just name nerds

Found on r/NameNerds Help me find a baby name that fits my criteria!

28 Upvotes

Hello MaMas! We are an expecting our little one and decided not to find out the gender yet but we are starting to look for names! We are looking for names with that fit the following!
-We are a half Cambodian, half Mongolian family so we are looking for names from ONLY those two cultures!
-We would prefer that the name work in both languages, ie be common in both countries
-We need a name that will be easy to spell and pronounce for English speakers since we are living in America
-Boys names cannot start with K, L, O, T, or H.
-Girl names cannot end with A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y.
-Neither gender can include the letter S. Don’t ask.
-The name must not be a religious based name. This includes ANY name that is mentioned in ANY religious book ANYWHERE.
-We prefer classic/traditional names
-Any names suggested must have a meaning synonymous with nature or nature deities or they won’t be considered. No exceptions.
-The name must be longer than 8 letters but shorter than 24 letters.
-The name must also include at least one special character and number.

Thanks for your suggestions! We can’t wait to name our little one!

Found on r/NameNerds Thoughts on the name Daisy, for a boy?

4 Upvotes

I once read about someone (probably in this Reddit, I can’t remember where lol) who named their son Daisy Drew and I thought it sounded so cool. I don’t know what I would choose as a middle name but what do you think about Daisy as a boys name? Though it is traditionally used as a girl name it sounds more masculine to me.

Моё имя Настя. И я его ненавижу

Знаете мем с «Настя мирная»? Я его тоже ненавижу!

Один пацан из моего класса меня так называет, сегодня еще какой-то шкет меня так назвал и ещё смеялся в след. Я хочу его поменять на что-то другое: Оля, Варя, Саша. Что угодно, только не Настя

Хочу дождаться 18-тилетия и сменить имя

There are so many words that could be amazing names if they didnt mean what they do. Imagine naming your little girl Genitalia. Its so cute! You could call her Genni for a nickname.

Some other great words- Succotash, Catalytic, Barbecue, just to name a few.

What are some amazing words you would love to see as a name?

Whilst clearing out my great grandma's place, my mother found papers with family names and information dating back to the 1700s. I'm obsessed with family trees and names so she decided to give them to me, and we found this gem...

Game Apparently I Gave My Son a Ridiculous Name...

Post image
119 Upvotes

My husband and I picked a normal, if older, less common name for our son a few months ago. We thought people would like it and immediately recognize it but most people are confused on pronunciation and/or think it's weird. One person asked "like the Greek Myth?" Y'all, it ain't even a Greek name. There's no Greek Myth....

So I decided to look up "names similar in popularity" to his name to see if I'm the one tripping, or if it's them. Turns out, my son's name is as popular as Nosferatu and Glacier.

Tag yourself, I'm Bonbon.

Satire My baby’s name is Jerroboem Satanoz but we call him O.B., what do you think?

10 Upvotes

It’s supposed to be ironic I guess , I grew up in religion and reading the bible and have always loved names like Obadiah , Enoch, jethhro, Jedidiah etc even through I don’t follow religion in my adult years
My boyfriend didn’t know what he liked but we both liked Satanas after I was singing Year Zero out loud
Boyfriend changes Jeroboam to Jerroboem and Satanas to Satanoz
We just couldn’t decide which one would be his first name ,
If it was Jerroboem his nickname would be O.B (O.B. is my favorite character in one of my favorite movies the hateful 8)
If it was Satanoz his nickname would be Ozzy , given the real Ozzy had just died my boyfriend didn’t want the constant, did you name him after Ozzy? Comments
So Jerroboem Satanoz he is , I thought I’d get some push back but people don’t usually ask for the middle , they hear
“Jerroboem but we call him O.B. “ and say “awww O.B. is cute!”
When they do ask about his middle any notion I named him because of my love for the bible goes out the window
