    My wife's hippie cousin just had her 4th child and named him possibly the worst name I've ever heard. She's out there so the other names are weird too, like one child is named Crescent but she decided for this latest he looked like an Everlasting Honor. I feel so bad for that kid's childhood.

    They would name the child something awesome that meant that.

    There’s these two sisters that come in occasionally. One younger one named Honesty which is fine but...the other who is older is Chonesty. Now I can’t get how the parents just took the weird C in the older daughters name and thought they’d correct their mistake they made the first time or what I am not sure. I just don’t understand.

    A friend of mine spelled their kid’s name with a letter or two different than usual, but could potentially change the pronunciation if we were following normal English. The kid is about a year and a half old and I’ve never heard it out loud because of covid and at this point I’m afraid to ask what it is.
