Aunt tells hippy sister her children will grow up hating their ridiculous names
'I told her she was naming kids not dogs and her kids are going to hate their names once they get older!’

’All her kids have ridiculous names. Baryleen [a girl aged 4] pronounced Bryalin, Falkin [a boy aged three] pronounced falcon, Rorai [girl, three] pronounced Rorie and Kelvin [a one-year-old boy]) pronounced Calvin.

"My SIL [sister-in-law] asked me what my opinion was on her naming her next baby Astra, Inky, or Lore.’

😉

Could be worse. I saw a video the other day of a man saying one of his children is named the sound that skimming stones on a lake makes and the other one, iirc, is named the sound of crackling logs on a fire. He then demonstrated their pronunciation 😳
good luck finding them a pen with their name on in a souvenir shop!

I will see if I can find the video & post a link.

@MeOlBamBoo so Plinkplinkplop and Kreechzz-kreeech?

Maybe he's a Fry and Laurie fan. 😉

A bit of Fry and Laurie was the highlight of my week as a teenager.

I would join those names and go with Inkyastralore. It has a ring to it.

"My SIL [sister-in-law] asked me what my opinion was on her naming her next baby Astra, Inky, or Lore.’

Astra's not too bad - it means Star. But Baryleen pronounced Bryalin - that poor four year old, trying to make sense of that when she's learning phonics.

I’ve searched for the longest time to find the video of him pronouncing the kids names!

Honestly these names wouldn't be the worst I'd heard if they were actually SPELT Bryalin (although it sounds a bit like an anti histamine), Falcon, Rory and Calvin. It's ridiculous spellings of names that wind me up even more than ridiculous names!
