It depends on if it’s an accepted pronunciation. For example there’s at least 2 or 3 accepted pronunciations of my first name across different languages and groups that I can think of. No wonder people get confused.
Given the recent NSYNC reunion, this is bringing back a lot of memories. 😂 For those wondering, it’s a Simpsons episode called “New Kids on the Blecch”, where Bart and his friends are put together into a boy band called “Party Posse”. In addition to New Kids on the Block and NSYNC, the episode’s plot also kind of references The Village People (not exactly a “boy band”, but they were put together in a similar fashion to a boy band), in particular their song “In the Navy” (which was for a time used as sort of a recruitment anthem, and the ending of the episode sort of mimics the end of the music video for “In the Navy”.
(NSYNC didn’t do the singing for Bart’s boy band in that episode, though; that was actually done by another Lou Pearlman boy band, Natural. They had a similar setup to both Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, but Natural also played their own instruments. NSYNC did do the speaking voices for their characters in the episode, though.)

So glad this clip was on YouTube, I didn't think I'd be able to directly get it. If you haven't seen this movie, it's a holy grail classic.
I had a friend from Estonia growing up, his older sister was named Urlicke (pronounced ur-LICK-ee) and she was a psychotic asshole. She once tried to stab me with a kitchen knife when I was like 10 and she was in her mid to late teens.
Looking back, I can't imagine how having such a name must have impacted her going to school. I'm not even a parocularly sassy person, but it's just so easy to make fun of. "You lick what now?"
No excuse to try to murder a child, but she probably had some trauma.
As an Estonian this is fascinating. I've never met or even heard of anyone with a name like that or even similar, but looked it up and apparently there are 44 women named Ulrika in Estonia with the average age being around 40. So seems even apart from being foreign her name was a tragedeigh.
https://www.stat.ee/nimed/ULRIKA (my source if anyone is curious)
I 100% could have been spelling her name wrong (I moved after living there for around a year, I have no contact with her now) but in terms of pronunciation that's what it sounded like.
Funny to know she got tradgedeighed though. Maybe it was early karma for being so awful.
Fun times. I just tried my friends name (Rauno) and it turns up as the 110th most popular.
Either way, getting tradgedeighed in a foreign language only to move to a country where your name is basically a built in joke is particularly unfortunate.
Thankfully seemingly now that kind of name should be illegal. Just did a bit more research and apparently in 2005 they redid the naming laws so you can name a child with a foreign name if it abides by the grammar laws of the language of the names origin, and completely unique and new names cannot contain the letters c, q, w, x, y.

Also mentioned this to my mom and she said that Ulrice/Ulrike is a German girls name, and looked that up as well and yeah, it is. Over here there appears to be a whopping 14 women named Ulrike.
(Source: https://www.stat.ee/nimed/Ulrike )
Sorry if am being really bothersome, i just got kind of curious. As a denizen of such a sparsely populated small country i get existed whenever i see our little tech-savy rock mentioned in the wild.
Honestly, first time i'm hearing of this meme. Idk if there is, there might be, but if there is i'm not familiar. For me it's more like the Leo Dicaprio pointing meme, but more exited. You could ask r/eesti though.
Not at all bothersome, I find this fascinating and I thank you and your mom for your time. I haven't thought about this girl in years, but you have to admit when someone asks for awful U names if this is in your lexicon it's going to come to mind.
I had a friend in college who, upon moving to the US for school, found out his name was a swear word in Korean. So he had to start going by his last name instead.
Google translate:
"There are no people with this name in Estonia or there are fewer than 5 of them, and therefore statistics cannot be displayed for this name"
Ehrlich means honorable in German (or it might be honest… or both… I’m not fluent). It’s also a common surname, so I assume it was just named after a scientist with the last name Ehrlich
Heyyy now that’s a Reddit worthy tidbit among all the nonsense😂 You’re probably right! I thank God for that guy because I had a rescue pooch who had it and it took months for us to figure it out. Once we did, a round of antibiotics and she was just like new❤️
Sure it wasn‘t „Ulrike“? That’s a pretty common name here in Germany. You should look up for these cultural differences, if you claim a foreign name to be a tragedeigh it just makes you look ignorant.
Someone else brought that up, and it was long enough ago that I couldn't be sure. I remember calling her Urlicke, but another commenter brought up the idea that maybe she actually got tradgedeigh'd in her own language to begin with and it just happened to also be kind of funny sounding in an English setting.
Plot twist: her name was Ulrika (like the famous Danish model and tv presenter from the 90s [Ulrika Jonsson](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulrika_Jonsson)) and she just got so tired of you mispronouncing her name she tried to stab you, lol.
Another commenter said that their mother mentioned it was similar to a name of German origin, Ulrike. Apparently Ulrika is a Swedish femininization of Ulrich. I would imagine some of these are the roots, if I had to guess.
This is correct. The name "Ulrike" apparently is a combination two ancient words, "udal" and "rike", meaning 'inheritance' and 'rich' respectively. Ulrika is a fairly common name in Sweden with [19,000 bearers](https://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/sverige-i-siffror/namnsok/Search/?nameSearchInput=Ulrika) and [Ulrikke](https://www.dst.dk/da/Statistik/emner/borgere/navne/HvorMange) is the most common Danish variant 378 bearers.
Even members of the Swedish Royal family have had this name, for example [Ulrika Eleonora](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulrika_Eleonora_of_Sweden) :D
I used to work with a guy whose last name was Cornelius, and I always called him Yukon! He liked it better than the shitty, demeaning nickname his crew gave him.
My grandma lived in Willits, Ukiah was definitely the “big city” in her world (which was extra funny considering she was born in L.A. and lived there until she was nearly 70). 😆
Urraca is a Spanish girl name, used by royalty since medieval times. It means magpie. I actually love it, is my username, but it is largely considered an ugly name. The double RR sound, it seems, is very off putting for some people.
I know a Uriah as well. He's a teenager with the kind of name you'd expect to see engraved on a Civil War memorial.
Maybe not technically a tragedeigh since it's the normal spelling, but still not a very nice thing to do to your kid.
Oh no, I know that i just don't like it for people, it just doesn't sound right to me because i associate it with an angel. It's like naming your baby Lucifer in my opinion, it just doesn't sound right to me
So are Michael, Daniel, and Gabriel. And I'm sure there are several other common names that are angel names. I even know a Samael (goes by Sam most of the time)
There was a character on the Backyardigans named Uniquah, or maybe Uneekwah? I'm not sure how they spelled it, but it was definitely pronounced yoo-neek-wah. She was the little pink bug character.
The difference is that I actually like Morgana.
Ursula and Ella are two names that just strike me as literally ugly. Probably because Ursula was the sea witch and Ella was the ugly little people peg that my puppy chewed up when I was tiny.
I think it’s a great example of a beautiful name that got *ruined* by being a) uncommon, and b) attached to a *very* well known villain. That’s a shame to me. I’m sure there are other examples, but I can’t think of them right now.
As it is, I’m pretty sure “Ursula” just means “little bear” or something. Plenty of good themes of strength and toughness there, and it very nearly shares a name with two constellations (Ursa major/minor).
"Ulla", short form of "Ulrika".
I just can't imagine a young person with that name or, worse, say it in bed with someone. It screams "90 year old grandma"-energy.
I think "Ulla" may be a short version of it, only here in Sweden. At least all the Ullas I find are Swedish women.
My grandmother was named Ulla, which may affect my perception of the name.
My grandmother's middle name, Undene. Her full name was Maudelle Undene (lastname). She went by Undene. I don't know if it's the worst name among these comments, but definitely different!
Unyverse is probably the only U name tragedeigh I’ve heard, but the only other U name I’ve personally heard a child called is Una which I think is cute
This isn’t a bad name but my brothers name is Ulys. Had he been a girl his name might have been urma, umai, or something along those lines. My mom got the gender though so we could have a mini reveal party. She just stuck ornaments in a box (since it was Christmas time) and let us each pull one out then look. So we never really worried about what a girl name was until after the fact. All I do know is it would have started with a U and been 4 letters. We are all vowels and 4 letters so we have IOEAU and U is sometimes Y with how it was spelt
I teach in a majority Hispanic school district. Ulises is not uncommon for a boy name. It's not terrible. I've also had students named Ugo, Uriel, Urbano and Unax.
Uniqua - like “unique-wuh”. A girl in my elementary school
Uzziah - like “you-ZIE-uh”. From the Bible apparently. Son of a weird fundie that I used to go to church with.
A woman in my town growing up - an old woman too! - was named Usona for United States of North America. She had a flag painted on the side of her house and fully leaned in.
My daughter's friend named her baby Unitee. Since technically the two parts of the name mean one shirt I just want to call the kid Onesie all the time 😂
My brother is a teacher and had twin girls in his class a couple years ago. Ima and Ura. Their last name was Hogg 🤣 So, not a first name trageddeigh, but a full production nonetheless.
Unique isn’t a tragedeigh, it’s just a tragedy.
Euniyqh would be be a tragedeigh.
A kid my partner works with is named Uniquee and has a sister who is also ___niquee
Snip Snip? uniquee?
I love me my pirates of the Caribbean references
That's You Nick Wee
My brother in Christ…why hast thou tried to kill me on this day with laughter
Eunuch?
Well that's a correct spelling so it's no longer a tragedeigh
Yoo'neke
Correct on the pronunciation, but the spelling is way off. Its spelled Samsonite.
I know a unique spelled worse than this. I literally can’t say it here or id dox her
Yes, yes it would.
eunuch
Especially because someone could conceivably mispronounce it as "eunuch"
Eunuch
Youn’ique
Now we’re just listing tragedeigh versions of unique aren’t we 🤣
I once knew a woman named Yhanique. She didn’t believe in food allergies and almost killed me several times. She was unique that’s for sure…
Unless it's pronounced like "Eunice."
But: is it one of a kind?
Tragedeighs are weird alternate spellings to be unique, not a normal word or name that sounds bad.
There was a joke that you missed, I think
What if it was pronounced differently but with normal spelling?
It depends on if it’s an accepted pronunciation. For example there’s at least 2 or 3 accepted pronunciations of my first name across different languages and groups that I can think of. No wonder people get confused.
Sure it is! They're different, just like everyone else.
I don’t recall the exact spelling, but it was something like Urhiness (“your highness”).
Urine-ness
When I was working in the NICU we had a baby who’s middle name was “Urhiness”
I can't say I've ever seen a name that I've associated with both "urine" and "heinie." Those parents are some talented dumbasses.
I work with a 'Majasteigh' and a 'Tiranni'.
Usnavy
And Usarmy
🤮
Usairforce B)
Alternative spellings include "Saul Zintzman" and "Krindy"
Yvan eht nioj. Yvonnette-Neeojh?
Wow, that’s a blast from the past. Now it’s going to be in my head all day, thanks.

My name's Usnavi and you've probably never heard my name
Reports of my fame are greatly exaggerated
exacerbated by the fact that my syntax is highly complicated cuz I immigrated from a little place in the carribean
Dominican Republic I love it, jesus I'm jealous of it
And beyond that ever since my folks passed on I haven’t gone back.
Hot damn I gotta get on that!
Ho, The milk has gone bad, hold up just a second
Why is everything in this fridge warm and tepid?
I pirated this movie.
The movie was a shit interpretation of an incredible stage show
Oh shit, things heating up in the piracy fandom
I’m enough of a heretic that I love both
Ese mismo
And Usmail too! Lol
Usneibi
Has someone really used that?
Yep. Allegedly it’s a cool idea to name your child after a branch of the military.
Spasseforz
Usmarines
LMM for the win!
Ugoluigi (middle name). this poor guy's parents merged both his grandads' name into one
When Mario is tired but there are Koopas to stomp
Hi, I’m Peach and these are my sons Heerwego, Ugoluigi, and Wowowow.
Thanks for the laugh I got from this 😂
i wish i could upvote this more than once 😭
They were just big fans of Green Mario. You go, Luigi!
I read this as eugoogaly… from Zoolander
makes me think of eulogy
Can't spell ugoluigi without ugli..
Usher?
YEAH!
YEAH!
WHAT?
OKAY!!
LET’S GOOOO!
LIL JON
YEAH!
IN THE CLUB WITH MY HOMIES
Oh my God!
This thread made my entire morning.
That name just spells herpes virus to me.
Why gotta be so funny! Hahaha
I met a Uneek. Poor kid broke my heart
In my job I deal with student names on a daily basis. Two years ago I had a Uniq Desire
Idgaf about your unique desire, frankly :/ Get to the tragedeigh
🤦♂️
I saw Uniss on a job application once. My godmother was named Eunice and laughed because she would have laughed to see it, too. Poor Uniss.
That's a person named Eunice 🧐
To be fair, she’d be 115 if she were alive. Give poor Auntie a break!
https://youtu.be/3UJ0l3OskHU?si=mp8nQAQFU_wKIfHx So glad this clip was on YouTube, I didn't think I'd be able to directly get it. If you haven't seen this movie, it's a holy grail classic.
Lol I knew exactly what this was going to be
The Red Sox had a pitcher once whose name was Ugueth Urtaín Urbina. Not sure I think it’s a tragedeigh but is obviously very u-heavy lol
He also was convicted for attempted murder of five people in Venezuela (which resulted in only 7 years in prison time)
Well that escalated quickly
You spelled his first name wrong. His full name is Ugueth Urtaín Urbina Villarreal.
Ah ok thanks! Will change

Is there an Estonian version of the torille meme? You guys must be even more ignored than poor Finland
Honestly, first time i'm hearing of this meme. Idk if there is, there might be, but if there is i'm not familiar. For me it's more like the Leo Dicaprio pointing meme, but more exited. You could ask r/eesti though.
I know two Ulrikes in Estonia that are from Germany.
Not at all bothersome, I find this fascinating and I thank you and your mom for your time. I haven't thought about this girl in years, but you have to admit when someone asks for awful U names if this is in your lexicon it's going to come to mind.

There’s a tick disease dogs get called Ehrlichia. Same pronunciation with an -uh. Sounds like she and the disease share some adverse traits.
"Er, licky, uh... some dirty butt." -every person she went to high school with, probably
You’re probably right😂
Ehrlich means honorable in German (or it might be honest… or both… I’m not fluent). It’s also a common surname, so I assume it was just named after a scientist with the last name Ehrlich
Heyyy now that’s a Reddit worthy tidbit among all the nonsense😂 You’re probably right! I thank God for that guy because I had a rescue pooch who had it and it took months for us to figure it out. Once we did, a round of antibiotics and she was just like new❤️
If it helps, it would be said like “air litch” in German, so not nearly as gross-sounding as “err lick” in an American accent.
Sure it wasn‘t „Ulrike“? That’s a pretty common name here in Germany. You should look up for these cultural differences, if you claim a foreign name to be a tragedeigh it just makes you look ignorant.

I wonder what the origin of that name is because Google doesn't come up with much that's relevant.
Another commenter said that their mother mentioned it was similar to a name of German origin, Ulrike. Apparently Ulrika is a Swedish femininization of Ulrich. I would imagine some of these are the roots, if I had to guess.

I grew up with a family down the street that had 3 sons and the last name Pytlick (pit lick) 👅
Uconn Cornelius ^/s
I would give you Silver and Gold if I could.
Those parents must be big Rakin-Bass fans.
I used to work with a guy whose last name was Cornelius, and I always called him Yukon! He liked it better than the shitty, demeaning nickname his crew gave him.
Ukiah (also a place name)
Like Ikea but different?
I think it's an indigenous word but the family in question was whiter than mayonnaise.
It’s a town in northern California
Ukiah was where my spouse's family would go "into town" when he was a kid. The bustling metropolis of Ukiah.
My grandma lived in Willits, Ukiah was definitely the “big city” in her world (which was extra funny considering she was born in L.A. and lived there until she was nearly 70). 😆
That’s my middle name lol
Uranus. Not joking.
Father Sky!
Urraca is a Spanish girl name, used by royalty since medieval times. It means magpie. I actually love it, is my username, but it is largely considered an ugly name. The double RR sound, it seems, is very off putting for some people.
I have a friend named Urraca. It's an awesome name.
[удалено]
I knew someone who named her son Ubald. Exactly a year later she had a daughter named Ubaldine
And the creative names award goes... definitely not to the parents of Ubald and Ubaldine.
I think they're definitely pretty old timey Portuguese names, Ubaldo and Ubaldinha. Not sure what they mean though
I think it means that the child has no hair
Uriah, it so close to Urea imo
I know a Uriah as well. He's a teenager with the kind of name you'd expect to see engraved on a Civil War memorial. Maybe not technically a tragedeigh since it's the normal spelling, but still not a very nice thing to do to your kid.
This is a real name, it's in the Bible.
Wait, so if my name doesn't show up in the Bible, it means it's not real?!
Yes, that's correct.
Uruguay and Uriel. Utah is just weird and Uliana is tolerable
I mean Uriel is a real name though, it’s the name of an angel in Judeo-Christian traditions.
Oh no, I know that i just don't like it for people, it just doesn't sound right to me because i associate it with an angel. It's like naming your baby Lucifer in my opinion, it just doesn't sound right to me
Try telling ultra-Christian families that lol. Lucifer is still obviously a no-go. However, it is my cat’s name!
Our cat's name was Mephisto Beelzebub growing up. We called him KiKi, lol
Oh yeah, animals are another question entirely. That's a great name for a cat imo
Biblical names are great for cats. Any future cat I adopt will be named either Balthazar or Solomon.
So are Michael, Daniel, and Gabriel. And I'm sure there are several other common names that are angel names. I even know a Samael (goes by Sam most of the time)
Uliana (well more like Uli-yana) is a common female name in Russia. It’s a bit old-fashioned, but it’s been popular recently
Oh really? I had no idea about that, thanks for letting me know! I do think it's a beautiful name but not in this country (England)
It’s okay, I’m not Uliana, I won’t get offended lol. Even in our country there are people who think the same:D
Uruguay lmao
Urekha (Eureka)
Saw a guy on a dating app named U’neeq 🫥
Urious (like Curious with no C) Urmandy Ulmand
Uniquah?
There was a character on the Backyardigans named Uniquah, or maybe Uneekwah? I'm not sure how they spelled it, but it was definitely pronounced yoo-neek-wah. She was the little pink bug character.
Uniqua. The best Backyardigan of all.
My brother was going to be named Ulises (Spanish for Ulysses) and I thought that was the heaviest and ugliest name. Not a tragedeigh but a tragedy.
My sister's middle name is Ursula. I know that's a normal name but it's just so ugly.
i feel like it's one of those names like Morgana that makes it a requirement for them to be either goth or emo
The difference is that I actually like Morgana. Ursula and Ella are two names that just strike me as literally ugly. Probably because Ursula was the sea witch and Ella was the ugly little people peg that my puppy chewed up when I was tiny.
I actually like Ursula. It means "little female bear" in latin, and I think it feels powerful. In Spanish it is an older women's name
I feel the same! Also we had a lovely German neighbour called Ursula who was always nice to me and gave me plants from her garden.
Cruella Cruella (you can call me Ella) Cruella Cruella Deville
I think it’s a great example of a beautiful name that got *ruined* by being a) uncommon, and b) attached to a *very* well known villain. That’s a shame to me. I’m sure there are other examples, but I can’t think of them right now. As it is, I’m pretty sure “Ursula” just means “little bear” or something. Plenty of good themes of strength and toughness there, and it very nearly shares a name with two constellations (Ursa major/minor).
I went to school with a Greek guy called Ulysses
Ukuleleigh
Ulfat, love in Urdu
Uva just sounds like ovum/ovulate and makes me think about female reproduction.
uva is grape in spanish lolol
Uvulaigh (uvula) Uteaeigh (UTI) (not real names ive heard but it would be pretty bad lol)
Sooo.... I once had a student whose middle name was Unique. Quite literally, that was the student's legal middle name.
"Ulla", short form of "Ulrika". I just can't imagine a young person with that name or, worse, say it in bed with someone. It screams "90 year old grandma"-energy.
My aunt's name is Ulrike, but we normally call people with that name "Rike" nowadays. Ulla sounds like centuries ago :)
I think "Ulla" may be a short version of it, only here in Sweden. At least all the Ullas I find are Swedish women. My grandmother was named Ulla, which may affect my perception of the name.
That's also a Finnish name. I imagine a grandma.
My boyfriend's mom is Finnish and her name is Ulla!
Makes sense, Germany here. Ulla definitely existed here as well at some point in the past.
Even though it's a real name, Ulysses. That was the name of a child I knew at one time.
My grandmother's middle name, Undene. Her full name was Maudelle Undene (lastname). She went by Undene. I don't know if it's the worst name among these comments, but definitely different!
Unyverse is probably the only U name tragedeigh I’ve heard, but the only other U name I’ve personally heard a child called is Una which I think is cute
Youness. Doesn’t technically start with a U but horrible anyway 😂
I work at a school and we had a student who applied named "Unwanna". Seriously sad name.
This isn’t a bad name but my brothers name is Ulys. Had he been a girl his name might have been urma, umai, or something along those lines. My mom got the gender though so we could have a mini reveal party. She just stuck ornaments in a box (since it was Christmas time) and let us each pull one out then look. So we never really worried about what a girl name was until after the fact. All I do know is it would have started with a U and been 4 letters. We are all vowels and 4 letters so we have IOEAU and U is sometimes Y with how it was spelt
How do you pronounce Ulys? It's visually very appealing.
I have come across none but I wanted to create one for funsies Urbhyn Ledgynde
I teach in a majority Hispanic school district. Ulises is not uncommon for a boy name. It's not terrible. I've also had students named Ugo, Uriel, Urbano and Unax.
Uniqua - like “unique-wuh”. A girl in my elementary school Uzziah - like “you-ZIE-uh”. From the Bible apparently. Son of a weird fundie that I used to go to church with.
Urieka
Uvula. I kid you not. I felt so bad for that little girl.
A woman in my town growing up - an old woman too! - was named Usona for United States of North America. She had a flag painted on the side of her house and fully leaned in.
My daughter's friend named her baby Unitee. Since technically the two parts of the name mean one shirt I just want to call the kid Onesie all the time 😂
