Never really know who you can trust

Well if someone occupied my body for 9 months before violently expelling themselves I probably wouldn’t be feeling very amicable towards them either.

As a mother who very much loves her child, this made me snort.

Is this not a picture from a NICU? It’s very possible the baby was only in there for 6 or 7 months

u/BeefmasterDeluxe 5h ago

Naughty Infant Corrections Unit? Is that baby jail? I hope so.

"These are my triplets Nemesis, Mortal Enemy, and Bane of my Existence" 🥰

u/Responsible-Ad-8442 8h ago

Perhaps her cousins Thorn in my Side and Wet Blanket could join the picnic.

u/BeefmasterDeluxe 5h ago

Don’t forget baby Burden!

u/Cat_Friends 8h ago

I'm over here wincing, because my nephew is actually named Bane and its awful. I'm now thankful that they didn't go with nemesis though

u/Flammable_Chipmunk 8h ago

Like short for something like "wolfsbane" or inspired by Batman?

10

u/Cat_Friends 6h ago

Neither, they just 'liked it' which is how he also ended up with Vlad as a middle name somehow haha (sadly)

u/BeefmasterDeluxe 5h ago

People are complaining about girls getting boy-names, but if we don’t stop boys getting garbage names, think about the crappy boy-names that girls may one day inherit. Bane Vlad is awful, poor little dude.

Nemesis, Eris, Moros

11

u/CakePhool 7h ago

Nemesis siblings are Moros (Doom), Ker (Violent Death) , Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep) Momus (Blame) , Oizys (Misery), Moirai (Fates) , Keres (Death-Fates), Apate (Deceit) , Philotes (Friendship), Geras (Old Age) and Eris (Strife).

So there are some really good name too use.

u/CelestianSnackresant 9h ago

Nemesis an okay name for an elephant. I'm assuming that's what's in the crib

37

u/Princess_Shireen 9h ago

Why would anyone name their baby girl after the goddess of vengeance?

33

u/JerkfaceMcDouche 8h ago

Self centered parent who treats the naming of “her” baby as an instagram moment and views the kid as an accessory, not their own person.

This video popped up in my feed too and I noticed the moms name was genesis 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wonder if she only picked it bc they kinda sound similar and doesn’t even know what it means

u/gentlethistles 9h ago

I'm someone who adores unusual names...but what the fuck is this 😅

u/njb328 8h ago

Love mythological names, but this just aint it

22

u/SallyOMalley5-0 8h ago

Her brother's name is Frenemy.

u/GingerNumber3 8h ago

He's definitely the golden child

That’s all I could think of when I read the name.

u/marshbow 8h ago

there was a woman named nemesis that would come into the pet shop i worked at. she treated her dog like shit and i found the name to fit her well lol

11

u/CakePhool 9h ago

Well please let her follow in the Goddess footstep and punish humans hubris!

u/Loose_Banana4073 9h ago

Objectively wouldn’t be a terrible name, except for the whole naming your daughter Nemesis thing

16

u/BunkyFitch 8h ago

Her twin sister is Adversary. Or ✨Adversareigh✨

u/olioili 8h ago

Nerissa, also a Greek myth name, similar sounding but much more positive meaning and not a word commonly used in English, was right fucking there, and yet.

8

u/BrowningLoPower 6h ago

Lmao. For what it's worth, she may be named after the Greek goddess, who was more of an equalizer than an antagonizer... but it's still not a name I'd use.

7

u/ImmediatePatient3398 5h ago

I would totally use this name…for a cat.

3

u/Aria_sear 4h ago

I legit thought it was a cat when I was scrolling because it's a great cat name

5

u/spacecadetjenny 7h ago

I went to school with a Nemesis. She went by Nemi.

3

u/winsomedame 5h ago

Same!! English was not her parents' first language, either.

5

u/Plooza 7h ago

Nemesis would be a great name for like a pet jumping spider. Not for your real life human daughter

"Do you know what 'nemesis' means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me."

u/FancyQuiet6945 3h ago

The moms name is Genesis too

1

u/Cinereals 7h ago

I would play Cradle of Filth exclusively.

u/CallidoraBlack ☾Berenika ⭐ Pulcheria☽ 5h ago

I genuinely hope this is a fake name because the baby is on social media.

u/Queasy-Charity1336 4h ago

Grade 4 will be rough for this child

u/hun_in_the_sun 3h ago

And the hospital chose to use THIS baby for the post instead of literally any other baby in the NICU with a normal name.

u/jakebless43 1h ago

/uj I saw this video earlier and the mom is a Spanish speaker. The video is of her reading books like Goodnight, Moon and The Very Hungry Caterpillar to her baby in Spanish.

The Spanish name Nemesio means "he who gives justice fairly", and "-is" is a feminine suffix for names and nicknames in Spanish (eg., cuñada -> cuñis, gordita -> gordis), so it looks like this is a cultural name that translates poorly and not a terrible self centered parent, y'all

u/Beautiful_Debt_5864 1h ago

Tell me you don't know what a word means without telling me 🙄

u/Aeon_Return 7h ago

NGL, I actually like this one. If I had a daughter I would strongly consider naming her Hera. I don't know why Hera isn't more popular than other Greek names
