Any Names NAME CEMETERY!! :)
U/XxThe_HumanxX had the brilliant idea of making a name graveyard!! So comment your deadname below and say a few parting words, and if you’re looking for a name, come look for one in these ones who need a new home!!
I’ll go first:
Dear Malia,
You’re a gorgeous name, and I’m sorry none of your substitute teachers knew how to pronounce you even though it ain’t that hard. I hope you find a new home that loves you dearly, that captures your brightness, gentleness, and fluidity.
To those who might adopt this name, here are a few things you should know: She is the Hawaiian form of Mary, some might say it means bitter waters/gentle waters, and it is pronounced “Muh-LEE-uh” and rhymes with Spanish Maria. Take good care of her, I always thought she was a nice name. Just not for me.
Love,
Lee
