My pal’s neighbor’s kids have the weirdest names, I thought their 3-year-old had it wrong until the mom called for them
WHEN it comes to brainstorming a unique name for their child, some parents seem to take it too far.
One woman said she was left in disbelief after hearing the monikers that mutual friends gave their kids.
Posting to Reddit, the woman explained that she was out visiting her friends over the weekend when the children from the house next door stopped by.
“Their names were Vitawny and Trexton,” she revealed.
Although she imagined she must have heard wrong, she quickly realized she had not.
“I thought the 3-year-old was mispronouncing their names, until their mom called them home for dinner.”
Thinking strange names like these would just make the kids’ lives harder, she wondered: “Why would you do that to your children?”
After one user asked if Vitawny was pronounced as it was spelled, the woman said it got worse: “Yep. And she’s a brat.”
Another person pretended to be inside the parents’ minds as they came up with Trexton: “‘I can’t name my son T. Rex… or can I…?’”
A third joked that the monikers sounded like doctors’ jargon: “So I see you met the people who name prescription medicine.”
But a fourth commenter said she’s heard of something worse.
“That’s not as bad as my next-door neighbor. She wanted to name her son something starting with T and she named him Tuddles.
“Nope not a nickname, and yes this is true. I thought she was kidding, but sadly no. Poor kid has to grow up with the name Tuddles.”
