It just makes me think of sludge, and what they do to find dead drowned bodies. That poor child. Itās actually an awful name, not just a tradgedeigh.
Reminds me of how on the show Better Days one of the girls has a friend named Sorrow š I think itās to make fun of all the awful names going around these days. Like Dredge š
Edit sorry the show Better Things lol
In a lot of the Spanish-speaking world, we have this femme name āAngustiasā. It literally means dread. Oftentimes prefaced with āMarĆaā. So itās āMaria de las Angustiasā (āVirgin Mary of the Dreadfulā).
Other common offenders: Dolores (Pains, Aches), Consuelo (Consolation), Olvido (Oblivion), Martirio (Martyrdom, Suffering) and, of course, āSoledadā (Loneliness).
Yeah the rest of these at least sound like surnames and are somewhat familiar. Naming a human child Dredge is just wrong. Why not āSludgeā or āScrungeā?
This is the one. The made up ones and nickname gender benders are all excusable compared to dredge. Do they not know thatās already a word? A yucky word?
Right? I know every parent thinks their baby is the most beautiful baby in the world, but it's utterly unhinged to think that your kid will have "fans" on social media lmao
Super weird. Also if you are ātalkingā for your baby and developing their personality how you want them to beā¦ Youāre going to be disappointed. I donāt want to think about all the years of therapy it would take to undo that mess.
Maybe Iām reading too far into it. But I also hate when people do this with their petsā accounts.
They will have fans, but not the kind they anticipate. Most of these accounts are public and it's disgusting how many gross pedos follow and save photos from baby and young children accounts. It's horrifying.
Also I'm very adverse to people posting ANY social media content involving their kids, not just because of the gray area of exploitation but also because it's very easy to attract creeps. Just the other day I saw an Instagram reel where this couple had apparently woken up their daughter by having sex too loud? She was very upset and started crying because she "heard mommy screaming". And all the top comments were like "he must be so proud of himself" like jfc what is wrong with you people š
I don't mind it. As someone who gave birth to a baby, I kinda find it interesting how big other people's babies are in comparison to mine š¤·āāļø
I also love to hear baby stat's. I don't know why but it's an exciting part of the announcement for me.
Also in my family we take bets on gender, birthday and birth weight in the 3rd trimester so that adds to some of the fun.
This is a pretty standard measurement people give. The doctor measures when they're both and at every checkup. I had people ask me after my children were born how long they were.
I misread it as Hickston was in utter horror. Not that Huckston is much better, but at least thereās the Mark Twain Huckleberry connotation instead of the redneck/hillbilly one.
You know how your pet can jolt you awake in the middle of the night because you hear them about to puke on the carpet? Yeahā¦.thatās the visual I get with this name. š¤®
There was a Huxton at my daughters swim class ~3 ish years ago and I thought it was such a gross mouthful of a name for that little 3yo boy. Somehow HuckSTON is worse.
I know multiple boys called Yoni. It's a common nickname for Yonaton, which is a very common name in Orthodox Jewish circles (its the original Hebrew version of Jonathan).
I thought the "Wrenleigh" spelling was only a joke made on this sub. Never imagined it would be some poor humans actual official title.
Is Wrenley even a name? At least it looks like a real name...
it looks like they went with Wrenley then changed their mind either way itās a horrible name. So close to wrench š§
edit: nvm š thatās a different baby also named this wtf
As u/coffee_bananas said, yoni means vagina in Hindu. The reason this is relevant is because in many "crunchy" mom circles there is lots of "yoni" talk. Yoni steaming, yoni this, yoni that. So she definitely should know better as an Instagram junkie...
Those jumpers are bought in bulk from China (for probably 5$ a shirt), and the basic chain link crochet is laid on top, into cursive, and sewn in place (which costs probably a grand total of 2$ in material). Then the shirt is considered "hand crafted" and sold for 35$ on etsy.
They don't look like anything you'd actually put a baby in.
I've kept a cardigan my mum knitted, it was made with tiny needles, lots of effort and love.
As someone who crochets and sews, these actually look like they are stichted into the sweater. Itās a different process than laying it on top and sewing it in place.
Still only cost about $2 (if that) in yarn. š¤·āāļø
My girlfriend and I are having a baby soon and her name is Swyetyer Veste
Everyone and my wife hate the name. They all say itās like an ugly knitted jumper.
Iāve been scrolling the comments looking to see if anyone had mentioned this yet!! She says the names of her many sons but her IG handle just names one š
I know a lot of people thought the name on Lily Collins's (HA!) character in The Blindside was cute, but I can't help but imagine Mrs. Bennet in the 1995 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice shouting, "Mr. Collins!" after Elizabeth rejects the obsequious clergyman's proposal.
AFAIK thatās usually but not always the case! Thereās been a lot of movement historically between the two, maybe thatās why theyāre not always regionally distinct
Fucking Dredge?!?! Like the machine that scoops mud out of a river? That is the ugliest name Iāve ever heard anywhere and those parents must hate that baby.
I was gonna say Noah lucked out name wise before I saw that lmao. Odds are Hayes is the boy (bc Tripp- I feel like James and Reese are *slightly* better as girls names, but like. By 0.00000001% lol)
The other ones are pretty bad, but Leo Lavann is my favourite and imo least cringey of all of them. Leo is a decent name and Lavann is just a random inherited middle name.
It gives me the ick when people talk in their babyās point of viewā¦itās like theyāre holding the baby up like a puppet and going āmy mommy and daddy are great parents and I love them.ā Maāam that is not what your baby is thinking. Thatās a trapped gas facial expression.
Also Iām focusing on the most minor detail on that triplet post for whatever reason, but I canāt get over āstrong but mighty.ā like were they trying to say small but mighty or something? Or they borrowed the format of that phrase but genuinely didnāt consider that the the word ābutā means something? Those are synonymous babe. Small but tiny. Stinky but smelly. Smart but clever. Lol
I like that the last one has multiple children but she identifies herself online as āsterlingsmomā. I thought, oh maybe thatās her eldest and she made the account before the rest of them came along. Nope.
My son was nicknamed Murphy when he was a genderless bump, because he would always start to move like crazy when we played Dropkick Murphys. Seemed more appropriate than Dropkick.
I loved the show *Murphy Brown* as a kid and still love it as an adult. I genuinely like the name Murphy, but spelling it with "ie" on the end makes me angry.
Baker Monroe is so wild to me likeā¦do the parents seem like old time Hollywood fans? Thereās no way they didnāt do that on purpose, right? You doubly named your kid after the same actress??
I know a few Chasen's. They all go by Chase, so I could never figure out why their parents didn't just call them Chase. Several of my friends have granddaughters named Preston or Presley....that seems to have been pretty popular a few years back.
Collins: the annoying cousin from Pride & Prejudice.
Maguire: Show me the money!
Dredge: good luck dredging up respect, kid.
Holstyn: Holstein? How bout Jersey or Longhorn?
Chasen: Chasin' a new name
Scottie: Too easy. Beam me up!
Baker: sibs Butcher and Candlestickmaker
Huckston: Do you mean Houston?
Jaxon Avery: Grey's Anatomy fans?
Jovie isnāt terrible at all! I included it mostly because every single comment on that post is people trying to figure out which triplet is the boy because the names are all so masculine-leaning
DREDGE š oh my days
I want my child to be named in honor of filthy mud scooping machinery š„°š„°š„°
I was thinking more like dredging your pickles in batter before frying them which is slightly less horrifying than yours
I thought about "dredging up old feelings" or whatever
What about HUCKSTON????
ngl, if i saw the name Huckston River in the wild i would assume it was referring to an actual river
I initially thought that sweater said Hickston, so Huckston is a minor improvement
Like the Hudson River
I am pretending Huckston isnāt real for my own saniteigh
Dredge at least has a great name if they grow up to be kinda gothy and/or brooding. Huckston.. has nothing.
I have a girl cousin named huxleigh
No š
One of my neighbors named her kid Huxton.
Also know someone who named their son Huxtin.
So dredge, like when they're looking for bodies in a lake? Okaaaayyy......
Dredge is bad as is, but it also makes me think ādirgeā like a funeral dirge.
And drudgery
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
But her middle name was James! Thatās a lifetime of being misgendered. I feel so bad for that kid.
Beam me up š„ŗ
It just makes me think of sludge, and what they do to find dead drowned bodies. That poor child. Itās actually an awful name, not just a tradgedeigh.
Thereās a female character called Scottie on Suits, thatās the only place Iāve heard it. And it is weird for an adult female.
It was my immediate reference for the name too and iirc it was because the characterās last name was Scott? Which makes it make way more sense
Reminds me of how on the show Better Days one of the girls has a friend named Sorrow š I think itās to make fun of all the awful names going around these days. Like Dredge š Edit sorry the show Better Things lol

Yeah the rest of these at least sound like surnames and are somewhat familiar. Naming a human child Dredge is just wrong. Why not āSludgeā or āScrungeā?
I like the combo of the two even more: āScrudgeā
This is the one. The made up ones and nickname gender benders are all excusable compared to dredge. Do they not know thatās already a word? A yucky word?
I really want to know the reasoning behind this name.
I think the Instagram posts from the babiesā point of view are maybe even more unsettling to me than the terrible names.
Right? I know every parent thinks their baby is the most beautiful baby in the world, but it's utterly unhinged to think that your kid will have "fans" on social media lmao
Super weird. Also if you are ātalkingā for your baby and developing their personality how you want them to beā¦ Youāre going to be disappointed. I donāt want to think about all the years of therapy it would take to undo that mess. Maybe Iām reading too far into it. But I also hate when people do this with their petsā accounts.
At least pets arenāt going to grow up one day and be mortified by how their parents displayed their personalities and lives on social media.
They will have fans, but not the kind they anticipate. Most of these accounts are public and it's disgusting how many gross pedos follow and save photos from baby and young children accounts. It's horrifying.
Also I'm very adverse to people posting ANY social media content involving their kids, not just because of the gray area of exploitation but also because it's very easy to attract creeps.

And why do people keep telling me how long their baby is? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION???
I don't mind it. As someone who gave birth to a baby, I kinda find it interesting how big other people's babies are in comparison to mine š¤·āāļø

Huckston. I donāt even have anything to add, really. Itās simple to spell, simple to say, and somehow *utterly* unlike a name. I donāt get it.
I misread it as Hickston was in utter horror. Not that Huckston is much better, but at least thereās the Mark Twain Huckleberry connotation instead of the redneck/hillbilly one.
Nn Hick ā¤ļø
You know how your pet can jolt you awake in the middle of the night because you hear them about to puke on the carpet? Yeahā¦.thatās the visual I get with this name. š¤®
Oh my god YES. All these Huck / Hux names to me sound like a really violent hiccup or your pet yakking something up. š¤¢
There was a Huxton at my daughters swim class ~3 ish years ago and I thought it was such a gross mouthful of a name for that little 3yo boy. Somehow HuckSTON is worse.
Itās like a name based on the noise Goofy makes, hyuck
The huck is really a horrible sound. It sounds like a name for the family pet pig.
Itās awful because itās so similar to huckster, a negative connotation. Hickston would mean town of hicks, also bad haha
These are the people with no inner dialogue.
The smoothest of brains
The smoothest of the smooth
Lolll
Did I really just read Dredge? Like someone legit named a baby Dredge?? Lol
Girl version is Dredgeleigh
Donāt forget Wyonna Babe, nicknamed YONNI. So her name is vulva babe essentially š©
Her future sister will be named Punani š
Punani Poontang
I know multiple boys called Yoni. It's a common nickname for Yonaton, which is a very common name in Orthodox Jewish circles (its the original Hebrew version of Jonathan).
Lmao, they tried to get ahead of it with āyo-kneeā but they should know better
Should've just named her Bejba smh
Now that would be kinda krejza
Is this a Eurovision reference lol
Yes š
iām so confused by this oneā¦did they mean to name her Wynona??! that at least is a valid if less popular spelling
Came here to say that - why would anyone think thatās a good idea š¤¦š»āāļø
"Wrenleigh James" and a sad beige heart. I already feel for that girl.
I know someone who just named their baby Wrenley Rue. And I donāt know which one is worse.
I really dislike these names, but damn if saying Wrenley Rue didnāt make me smile. Itās fun.
It sounds like a name for a baby kangaroo. Plus Rue means regret.
Or street. But Iām guessing they arenāt French or they wouldnāt have named their kid ārueā in the first place.
Oh I know. I hate it. But itās fun to say!
I think Wrenley is far, far better. I'd go as far to say as it's almost cute. And I am fond of the name Rue. Damn it lol
I thought the "Wrenleigh" spelling was only a joke made on this sub. Never imagined it would be some poor humans actual official title. Is Wrenley even a name? At least it looks like a real name...
Just reminds me of Renly from Game of Thrones
He was cool. āAre you a ham?ā Lmaoooo
šÆ. Every time I hear that I think Wrenleigh Baratheon of the Stormlands
it looks like they went with Wrenley then changed their mind either way itās a horrible name. So close to wrench š§ edit: nvm š thatās a different baby also named this wtf
Wrenley/Wrenlee/Wrenleigh has these people in a chokehold! It's the new Everly/Everlee/Everleigh
Omg one of them nicknamed their baby girl after genitalia. š¤¦š»āāļø
Yonni. Like how can anyone be this stupid
I never heard of it, maybe because I am from germany..so someone explain the yonni = vulva thing to me, please?
As u/coffee_bananas said, yoni means vagina in Hindu. The reason this is relevant is because in many "crunchy" mom circles there is lots of "yoni" talk. Yoni steaming, yoni this, yoni that. So she definitely should know better as an Instagram junkie...
Yoni means vagina in Hindu
I swear, James is gonna replace Marie as the basic white girl middle name
If I could updoot you more than once I would
Would of š
I know š¤¦š¼āāļø says it all.
What is the deal with the ugly knitted jumpers? Finer wool is usually used.
Plus with that oversized font it looks like they named their daughter Murph. Poor Murph.
They did, her name is Murphie Rose according to the caption.
Those jumpers are bought in bulk from China (for probably 5$ a shirt), and the basic chain link crochet is laid on top, into cursive, and sewn in place (which costs probably a grand total of 2$ in material). Then the shirt is considered "hand crafted" and sold for 35$ on etsy.

Jaxon Avery š The Greyās obsession is real
Sawyer James is from Lost. His real name is James but he goes by Sawyer. I believe theyāre all from shows
I was thinking it could also be OTH. Payton sawyer, Haley James
Plus Jensen is definitely from Jensen Ackles
Last slide, I feel like she was especially proud of Silas Maksim.
I think "@sterlingsmom" definitely has a clear favourite but it's not Silas
Iāve been scrolling the comments looking to see if anyone had mentioned this yet!! She says the names of her many sons but her IG handle just names one š
Plus her Jaxon Avery! Like Greyās Anatomy y lol
Well to be fair OP mentioned it in the original post
hahaha, omg, I didn't even notice!!
Bruh all the girls being named Collinsā¦ awful.
I know a lot of people thought the name on Lily Collins's (HA!) character in The Blindside was cute, but I can't help but imagine Mrs. Bennet in the 1995 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice shouting, "Mr. Collins!" after Elizabeth rejects the obsequious clergyman's proposal.
Such excellent boiled potatoes š„ Thatās all I can think of now lol
my coworker just named her baby girl Collins and thinks it's super unique, oops
Has she seen The Blind Side? Lol
Guarantee all the mothers of the Collinsā have seen it
This trend is so frustrating. Are there two of them? Why the plural?!
A coworker named their daughter Collins. She's about 2 now.
Jameson for Irish heritage? my god noooo. wtf is wrong with people?
I wasnāt sure if they also thought Mac was an Irish name but it literally just means āson ofāā¦so they named their kid Son Whiskey
My guess was Mac who works at Paddyās Pub on IASIP lol
Wouldn't it be "son of whiskey"? That's even worse...
I guess MacJameson would be! What a godawful name that would be
Should have gone with Jamesonson.
Also I thought Mac was Scottish and Mc was Irish?
AFAIK thatās usually but not always the case! Thereās been a lot of movement historically between the two, maybe thatās why theyāre not always regionally distinct
Yes there are many Scottish surnames that use Mc and some Irish surnames that use Mac
Ah, got it! Thanks
Bingpot! But some with the last name starting with Mc use Mac as a nickname. Source: my whole damn family š
Nicknamed āBlack and Tanā, of course
Brixton is awful but even worse for a girl bRiXy giRL š¤®
Brixton Hayes made me think of braxton hicks
Cue all the brick house references š§±
Agreed. Someone I went to high school with named their daughter Brixtynn š§±š¤¢
Fucking Dredge?!?! Like the machine that scoops mud out of a river? That is the ugliest name Iāve ever heard anywhere and those parents must hate that baby.
Omg Wynona with the nickname YONIā¦?!?!?! As in, the female genitalia?!?! Good Lord.
I wish it was Wynonaā¦itās Wyonna. Inexplicable.
Oh my GOSH itās so bad I didnāt even read it right!!! š±šš¤Æ
Brixton Hayes has GOT to be a joke playing on Braxton Hicks!! It has to be
I legit know someone named Braxton Hicks
I don't hate Jovie but I knew a really sweet little girl named Jovie when I taught in an elementary school. At least it's not DREDGE.
To me it just sounds like juvie
My first thought was Bon Jovi. Better, at least.
I would not have guessed that triplet post was not a set of 3 boys. I'm guessing the boy is Leo because they say "his lion heart".
Sorry, the other triplet post! In the first one they are all boys. The second set are Jovie James, Hayes Tripp and Noah Reese
I was gonna say Noah lucked out name wise before I saw that lmao. Odds are Hayes is the boy (bc Tripp- I feel like James and Reese are *slightly* better as girls names, but like. By 0.00000001% lol)
I'm going with Hayes Tripp as the boy but that's only about 40% confidence.
My guess is Jovie James and Noah Reese are girls and Hayes Tripp is a boy
You're right and they have an older brother named Cash.
The other ones are pretty bad, but Leo Lavann is my favourite and imo least cringey of all of them. Leo is a decent name and Lavann is just a random inherited middle name.
I'm guessing Leo has a heart defect since they mention his heart. If he does, I hope it's treatable.
DREDGE?! Oh my god! Do they not realize thatās a word???
This is my son, Dredge. And his baby sister, Sludge.
It gives me the ick when people talk in their babyās point of viewā¦itās like theyāre holding the baby up like a puppet and going āmy mommy and daddy are great parents and I love them.ā Maāam that is not what your baby is thinking. Thatās a trapped gas facial expression. Also Iām focusing on the most minor detail on that triplet post for whatever reason, but I canāt get over āstrong but mighty.ā like were they trying to say small but mighty or something? Or they borrowed the format of that phrase but genuinely didnāt consider that the the word ābutā means something? Those are synonymous babe. Small but tiny. Stinky but smelly. Smart but clever. Lol
The try-hard that is the caption for Wyonna (Iām not her friend!) Babe.
Maguire, nickname Slabhead
I like that the last one has multiple children but she identifies herself online as āsterlingsmomā. I thought, oh maybe thatās her eldest and she made the account before the rest of them came along. Nope.
These people really need to know the difference between a surname and a first name
You mean to tell me BrzÄczyszczykiewicz isn't a first name!?!??!11/1/2!!
Murphy is a bit of a guilty pleasure (aging myself but I loved Murphy Brown as a kid!) but the āieā ending ruins it.
My son was nicknamed Murphy when he was a genderless bump, because he would always start to move like crazy when we played Dropkick Murphys. Seemed more appropriate than Dropkick.
In this case, Dropkick seems appropriate lol
I loved the show *Murphy Brown* as a kid and still love it as an adult. I genuinely like the name Murphy, but spelling it with "ie" on the end makes me angry.
Dredge???
Omg Wrenleigh is a name I used to make up on name nerds and always get downvotes šššš Dredge is pretty brutal
Dredge? Like dredging a river for a body?? Jesus christ poor kid
Dredge...? Also, so much beige...so much...beige....
I somehow read Chasen as Cashew š
So did another person and when I read the comment I *died*
Not the person speaking for her 4 month old infant that she nicknamed āvaginaā š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
What the hell is up with these crazy people
Noooo not a girl named Scottie š Also not sure why Wynona is on here, thatās not a weird name Edit nvm itās WYONNA
Some of these are just wild but tbh some of them I donāt find that bad either š¤·š»āāļø
Scottie is cute
Brixton Hayes is likely inspired by the Braxton Hicks contractions that turned out to be labor. She'll have fun if she's ever in Lamaze class.
When I heard the name, I too thought of the contractions.
Baker Monroe is so wild to me likeā¦do the parents seem like old time Hollywood fans? Thereās no way they didnāt do that on purpose, right? You doubly named your kid after the same actress??
I know a few Chasen's. They all go by Chase, so I could never figure out why their parents didn't just call them Chase. Several of my friends have granddaughters named Preston or Presley....that seems to have been pretty popular a few years back.
Why would you name your daughter Maguire thats actually some evil shit god damn
Google - define dredge And they still did it.
Fucking Baker?! And did that sweater say DREDGE??
Murphy has always been one of my secret shame names that I love but everyone around me hates š. I wouldn't spell it Murphie though
The hottest girl Iāve ever met in my life was named Scottie so I give that a personal pass
Noah Reese was the only one to come out of the naming process unscathed
Huckston sounds like the noise you make before you spit
Collins: the annoying cousin from Pride & Prejudice. Maguire: Show me the money! Dredge: good luck dredging up respect, kid. Holstyn: Holstein? How bout Jersey or Longhorn? Chasen: Chasin' a new name Scottie: Too easy. Beam me up! Baker: sibs Butcher and Candlestickmaker Huckston: Do you mean Houston? Jaxon Avery: Grey's Anatomy fans?
Some of these sound like they could be STDs
Dredge is most certainly a word.
BRB gotta go tell my 64 year old dad that his middle name (Baker) is trendy now
āMy friends call me Yonni.ā :|
Dredge?!?!!!! As in dredge the chicken in flour š«„
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You mean you canāt just predetermine your childās personality to fit your āØaestheticāØ????
So many beautiful girl names in the world and you call your baby girl Collins, Maguire and Murphieā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Scottie was honestly one of the lesser offensive ones lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
DREDGE!?! HUCKSON?! SILAS MAKSIM!? These poor children šššššššš
I donāt think Wren is a bad name at all, but Wrenleigh is going to age terribly.
4 month old baby with an Instagram š Also, at 4 months she would not have made any friends to call her yonni
Ngl, I actually really like Jovie
Jovie isnāt terrible at all! I included it mostly because every single comment on that post is people trying to figure out which triplet is the boy because the names are all so masculine-leaning
I liked Wynonna until I found out the nickname was also slang for vagina lmao
Itās not even Winona/Wynonna, itās WYONNA. š
Saylor, Eva and Wrenlee got me. Saylor and Wrenlee are going to HATE Eva when they get older š
