Loads of Aussies are named Brontë. Such an ugly name. Makes me think of brontosaurus and orthodontics.

Just seen a Koazy on my YouTube shorts! How do you even pronounce that? Ko ( like go)-ah-zee? Is the A silent and it’s ko-zee? Another YouTube couple have a little boy called Harbor, which I initially thought was Harper, which is marginally better.

I like the literary connection the name has, but it is clunky!
 
Probably already been mentioned but the ones where the original version has been recycled for a more yoo neek spelling....
Emerleigh, Emmalee, Aliviah, Daizee, Finleigh, K'dyn, Mikayla, Aimee, Chevonne

I also went to school with a girl who proudly announced she got her sons name, Ronnie, from the Kray twins. The famous criminals involved in everything from murder to the sex trafficking of young men…

Rydel and Ryland are weirdly similar for siblings. 🤷🏻‍♂️

and apparently, Super Capron Funk now has a new baby sister named Sweetie Mary Funk. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I despise all names ending in “b” - Jacob, Caleb, etc.

I also hate all names ending in “u” - Manu, Edu, Danu.

Just seen a little girl names Clancie on Facebook.
It just makes me think of chief Wigum from the Simpsons

Someone on Youtube was listing her favourite boy and girl names. Thankfully she’s not planning on having another baby, as some of her choices were bizarre. She had some lovely normal names like Charlotte, but for boys, she suggested Kowan/Kowen, pronounced as Cohen, the traditionally Jewish surname. Apparently, if you are not Jewish, it is inappropriate/offensive/cultural appropriation, as it means “priest” and is a name that can be handed down from father to son.

Yeah, Cohen is a weird one. I’m Jewish and it doesn’t exactly offend me, but it’s definitely strange to hear it used as a first name. But Levi means high priest too, and people use that, so.

I did not know Levi also means high priest! I know of a female Levi ( pronounced to rhyme with Chevy, not the jeans brand Lee-vie), which took a while to get my head around.

I think Levi is just regular priest, and Cohen is high priest actually. Levi also means “my heart” in modern Hebrew, which is quite a sweet meaning.

Just come across some »names we like but won’t be using » and came across Clark as a potential girls’ name ( bad enough for a boy, but so much worse for a girl!) and Halston for a girl or a boy. Also Koah, Nhoa, Addelyn and lots of other silly names with nonsensical spellings!
