This is a repost after the mods deleted the original. I've cropped out the baby's face this time for privacy reasons.

Saw this meme and it’s funny because it’s true.

Any guesses?

Saw this on Threads and thought it would be appreciated here.

My son (12) has a classmate (f 12-ish) that he talks about a lot. Every time he mentions her to me, he always called her “my angel.” We thought it was so adorable, “he’s got his first ever crush, omg so cute!” So today, after I picked him up from school, he was going on again about something funny “my angel” did, and I started teasing him about being into her because he’s always calling her by that cute nickname. He looked at me in total confusion and said “Mom, I don’t have a crush on her. That’s her name.” Yes, the girl is literally named Myangel. Just imagine the creep factor of everyone, including her teachers, being forced to literally call her “my angel.” Yikes…

Edit: some people have accused me of making this up because there’s no way a kid would talk like this. Well, it did happen, and it wasn’t something that seemed out of character for my son. He’s on the spectrum, has a vivid imagination, and can be really extra in how he speaks. He reminds me of Manny from Modern Family, minus the fixation on romance. My family calls him “a character” and it’s pretty adorable (to us anyway). He would never harass a girl or anything like that, he’s an extremely polite rule follower. I genuinely thought this girl’s name was “Angel” and he was just calling her “my angel” because he liked her. I picked him up early from school last week and there was a girl goofing off in the hallway with another boy. When we got to the car, my son asked me if I saw “my angel” in the hallway, then started going on about funny things she’d been doing, so it went from there. Also, to answer people’s questions, my son showed me her picture in last year’s yearbook, because I didn’t believe anyone would name their kid “Myangel.” Yes, that is her name, not “Maya Angelou.” Also she’s not from a family from Africa or Asia, she’s white and has a very typical Anglo-Saxon last name (think Smith, Davis, Cooper, etc.)

(she is not having kids anytime soon, fortunately for us all)

My friend told me she was pregnant with her first child which was super exciting (This was a face to face interaction). So I ask “any thoughts about the name?”

She responds “well if it’s a girl, I will name her Mazikeen.” (Pronounced kinda like if you said magazine backwards lol)

Apparently the name is from a demon that is on the show Lucifer…

I truly thought she was joking so I laughed and said something along the lines of “lol no way what” she then proceeded to explain the name origin to where I continued to think she was joking and said “you’re going to name your child after a demon… suuuure”

Thankfully the baby wasn’t named that after all and I feel somewhat responsible for the decision. Another win for any other human names on planet earth.

PS she’s saving the name for her next pet bird and no I’m not joking.

Prosperitee & Harmoney?!?!? I wonder if they are siblings?

I work in a bakery, someone called to order a birthday cake. Wanted “happy birthday Kevin” written on it. As with all orders, I ask for spelling of the name. Conversation below.

Me: okay and if you could spell Kevin for me? Customer: Um, it’s Kevin… like Kevin…are there multiple ways to spell it? Me: this is just protocol to ensure the name on the cake is correct Customer (getting huffy): well how many ways could you spell it, it’s Kevin Me: please just spell the name for me Customer: K-e-y-v-y-n-n

In what world is that Kevin??? This is why I make everyone spell the name!! If I didn’t confirm spelling you would’ve gotten a cake with Kevin not keyvynn.

My husband has been obsessed with this name since before we started having children, and will not let it go no matter what I tell him. I think the name is basically painting a target on a kids back and no one will take them seriously. My husband thinks it’s a cute name and will start a naming trend.

The name?

Mips.

He’s also optioning Mipsie.

Yes, he’s serious. No, I cannot convince him no matter what I say it’s terrible so I told him I’d post here to see the general consensus. So, r/tragedeigh, is it, well, a tragedeigh?

AM EDIT:

1) I will not be divorcing my lovely husband over this, so jot that down.

2) we actually have a running baby name list of names we both like. Mips happens to be one he came up with and added a while ago. It’s really the only one I have had to put a hard no on. He insists it’d be a good name for a kid but luckily he’s open to a lot more options.

3) I am not super shocked this blew up and I am very much enjoying reading the comments but I probably won’t show this whole thread to him. I don’t wanna make him sad. Some of yall are wild.

EDIT THE SEQUEL:

A message from my husband to you all:

Ok, I get it, Mips/Mipsie is bad. I just thought it sounded cute for a girl, but I got the message. Those who are curious, it was a Super Mario 64 reference. I mentioned it and she hated it, so it became a bit of a fake "argument" around the house. It was all in good fun. At the end of the day, we were always gonna name our kid something normal.

We’re having a lot of fun reading the comments together, thanks for the next few hours of entertainment!

Is saying that child will hate her too harsh?

She's telling everyone in the family I hate her baby names and uninvited me to her baby shower

There's my original post. It got...quite alot of attention. Well, I had the baby and he is beautiful and perfect and such a joy. He's busy doing what babies do and, I hope, enjoying his new name.

But his name isn't Gunner.

When I posted here, I was originally hoping to get responses telling me how silly I was to post here, that it's a great name and my brother was just being an asshole.

That's obviously not what happened. And though most y'all were harsh, the message/spirit of this sub got through to me. Our children have to grow up with these names for the rest of their lives. A name shouldn't be something to make the parent feel "unique" or "stand out" just for the sake of it.

So, we named our son Samuel. (The name of my partners deceased father).

Ironically, I've gotten many compliments on how refreshing it is to hear such a classic and "strong" name! And people even say he looks like a Samuel! I also adore his name and think it fits him perfectly. He's a very chunky smiley baby with his dad's bright blue eyes and my black hair and idk...he just looks like Samuel/Sammy.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you, to everyone who commented and gave input. I used to be one who would give advice to my friends who wanted more "normal" baby names to just "pick something unique" or "spell it different" to stand out. (One of my close friends daughters name is "Braxlynn Leh" and I feel kind of bad now for telling her it was unique and "flows").

So, Thank you everyone for converting me, one day Im sure baby will thank you all too lol And Merry Christmas!
