I'm so used to seeing the name spelled as "Malaki" that I didn't realize that was his name. I thought you pronounced it "Ma-laCH-ee". :lol

Parents need to be more pragmatic when giving their kids names. It's almost like they intentionally ruin it for them and dont give a fuck.

Let's face it there is racism, stereotypes and prejudice out there. Give your kid a shitty fancy name and it will be victim of ridicule in school, maybe even violence. It will maybe have no chance to grow up to be the selfconfident adult that you want it to become. Give your kid a name that sounds "ghetto" and good luck for the child to find a decent job when it gets older even with a good education.

Thats the harsh reality now and it will still be the same in 20 years.

Not when all the kids have shitty try hard names.
 
Nothing wrong with crazy names, I've already decided that my first childs name will be Alucard.

Not sure if it'll be the first or middle name though, but it'll be in there!

My wife teaches kindergarten and asked me to make a spreadsheet for her class. She gave me her class roster and I was floored.


Sirius
Labronchea
Paityn
Dakota
JayQuan
Damarion
Leighaja
Monettarose
Kylinn
Nehemiah
Amyiah
Malachi
Armontasha

I left out 4-5 of the "normal" names (Mason, Hanna, Anna, Jalen and Kamari).

Come on man, this is child abuse! That poor Labronchea is going to have to spell out his name for the rest of his life.

These are the only two I may disagree with, but what's wrong with the others?

You do know that, other than being a video game character, it's also Dracula spelled backwards? Just making sure, you know.

Completley aware.

If I it's a girl it will be her middle name.

If It's a boy it will be his first name.

Dude, I don't know if calling your kid "Dracula" -- although it's spelled backwards -- is such a great idea, to be honest.
 
My mother often speaks about (specifically) other black people naming their kids crazy or outlandish names. In fact, my brother's daughter (my niece), named by her mother, has a name which I honestly couldn't tell you her whole name if I tried. It took me a while just to say and spell her first name straight. My mother states that, with names like that, teachers often mispronounce them or don't understand them, and it leaves a bad impression on the kid, among other problems as they grow older.

Either way... some of those names aren't bad at all. Dakota, for instance. I've heard of a couple Dakotas.

Also... Malachi. That's a name I'd be proud of.
 
Dammit I googled Malachi and the image search had an aborted baby. Ugh. Fuck the internet.

How do you pronounce that name anyway, ma-la-chi or ma-la-ki?

All you people with regular names wanting 'special' names. Well, my mother gave me a name that is a cross between two names because she couldn't decide on either.

I have to spell and repeat my name so many times a day.
 
Isn't that evil dude in Children of the Corn called Malachi? To me that name sounds very biblical, anyways.
 
Why Malachi is supposed to be such a bad-ass name?

Am i missing something here?

Who was Malachi ? I've tried to google it but only got a lot of gay porn pics :( (and one dead fetus)
 
Sirius? Rly? What were parents thinking?
"Who are you?"
"I'm sirius."
"Yes, so am I but what's your name?"
"I am Sirius!"
"OK I cannot work with this attitude, goodbye mister!"

I prefer those names to the silly names white kids have gotten in the last 20 years. Except Dakoka, hate that name.

I googled them all and most of the people with those names are black.
 
I dunno.

On one hand they are stupid as shit.

On the other hand, it's just a class or culture of people making up names that fit in with the environment they live in. I mean, that's how names come about. Some person just made that shit up. The dude who wrote Peter Pan invented Wendy for instance, just made it up.
 
If I have daughters, I'm totally naming them after the three fates.

Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos.

and if son, he can get some bad ass greek legend name. Kratos, Achilles, Zeus.

To be kind, I'll give them more normal nicknames...

Clotho = Chloe, Lachesis = Lucky, Atropos = Attie.

Kratos = Kray, Achilles = Aces, Zeus = Zap.

This will not happen
 
Be fortunate there isn't a Shithead or OrangeJello in the roster*

Not sure how the ethnic breakdown of those names works out but white people don't get a free pass either. A lot of parents feel the need to make creative (read: dumb) names for kids these days. Your kid is not a pet. Coming up with a creative name for "Jessica" or finding what a common name is for kid in 12th century Scandinavia but not in modern times is just dumb. If you feel the need to name your kid after a Gaelic legend, get a dog.
 
People try to give their children unique names... But sometimes unique comes off looking stupid.

However, I can see several of these names being shortened over time to something normal.

JayQuan = Jay
Amyiah - Amy
Armontasha = Armon (though I am assuming this is a girl given -tasha...)
Monettarose - Rose

Of course, I am sure that won't happen.

how are Sirius, Dakota, JayQuan, Kylinn, Nehemiah, Amiyah and Malachi not normal names nowadays?

Are these kids named after drugs?

No but the parents must have been wasted while choosing them. Some of those just scream trash.

Could be worse, in the UK every parent in the last 5 years has called their son either Callum, Connor or Kyle.

Connor or Kyle? Is the UK trying to start the apocalypse?

I once opted to name our firstborn son Optimus Prime while discussing names for future children. My GF said no. I decided to seek the middle ground and opted for John Optimus Prime. She still said no.

*sigh* women!
 
Labronchea? Sounds like the mother named her child after Daddy's ailment, when he died of bronchitis.

My own family has named their children crazy shit. My cousins daughter is named Ymaniliss (not sure if I'm spelling that right).
