Publish Not your original work? Add source Every parent wants what's best for their kid, bottom line. Name included. So no doubt they will be choosing it carefully, with time to reflect, think of alternatives and ask for feedback from people whose opinion they trust. Or so we think. Well, this hilarious Facebook group with a whimsical name "That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr" shows what happens when things take a very different direction. For one reason or the other, the result is a bunch of crazy, funny, and somewhat bizarre names that got shared on this group. They make us not only question the value our names carry, but also appreciate the one we have. Scroll down though the hilarious collection below and be sure to check out our previous article with more names from "That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr."

View more comments Bored Panda reached out to Ruth Zschoche, sci-fi author, artist and the creator behind the Facebook group "That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr" to find out more about the community as well as her insights into the crazy names that get shared on there. The idea for this miscellaneous group was born during the pandemic when Ruth turned to Facebook to be more connected to others in times of isolation. She went on joke groups, local and fan-based groups, shaming groups and other communities to distract herself. When Ruth gave birth to a baby, she was active in a couple of mom and pregnancy groups and had to go through the baby naming process. She said to us previously that the group started on a whim from a funny tagline and it took off like crazy. #2 Becki Clingan Report 188points POST Loretta Loretta Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago How is a newborn able to handle the camera? 85 85points reply View More Replies...

At some point it started sounding good. Reminds me of the Friends episode where Ross and Rachel discuss names and kept saying ‘veto’ until one of them said that ‘veto’ starts sounding like a good option. 93 93points reply View More Replies... View more comments "We have over 75 thousand members now. It has been nuts," Ruth told us. Today, she manages several hundred posts a day. "I wish I was getting paid for it," she added. The community has a lot of discussions that arise that are only peripherally name related, and that takes perhaps the most energy to manage, Ruth argues. "But they are, some of them, important discussions. The challenge is to make sure everyone (within reason) can share opinions on topics while being decent and polite to each other. These include race, gender, politics, religion, parenting, and cultural differences." #5 Bella Hough Report 164points POST tHeBoRdEsTpAnDa tHeBoRdEsTpAnDa Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Imunique...

View more comments Ruth believes that "any conversation can be held productively between people who differ on topics as long as people are able to see each other as real people with humanity, rather than just vestiges of a political stance they detest." Moreover, the group has seen more people sharing their own stories with naming their children or being named themselves. "We also have more people sharing anonymously from workplaces such as amusement parks, hospitals, schools, etc." #8 Group member Report 145points POST RedPepper RedPepper Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Translation: my child is the opposite of a miracle. 171 171points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Meanwhile, in terms of the names themselves, Ruth said that she has noticed more and more examples of names that are based on words that are not traditionally used as names. "Recent examples I have seen include Ridge, Rustler, Richochet, Umbrella, Tangerine, Pistol, Shield, Skylight… you get the point." When asked why people are so fascinated with all the crazy names, Ruth says that it has to do with the fact that naming is power. "Naming is identity. Naming places stickers of the world and history over the essence of folks before they are even born." "I also think that there is some truth to saying that people like being the observers of the strange and other, like seeing someone do a crazy stunt or watching a variety show. You want to admire the shenanigans and wince at the same time," she added. #11 Jackie Yates Report 131points POST Nathaniel Nathaniel Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Sugar Sweet Diabetic Coma is her full name. 119 119points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Meanwhile, Ruth argues that people are also aware that what is "normal" is changing over time. "Things we see as tragedies now may be the Jennifer and Henry of tomorrow. This shift, like any generational shift, is fought against and marveled at. Judged and admired for the audacity. It will be interesting to see, in perhaps 20 years, what this generation of children think about their own names. What will be the tragedies of their parental generation? Will names come full circle or will they get even more wild?" the creator of the group wondered. #14 Caro S Report 113points POST Mistiekim Mistiekim Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Or just Joy or Angel? 48 48points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Having seen so many names so far, Ruth shared some insights on how NOT to name a baby. "Top (though not all) tips to avoid being on this group:Do not respell common names in ways that violate how letters and phonics work in the English language. Recent examples – Graiesonn, Tammiey;Do not make body parts a segment of your respelled name. Recent examples – Tiphiknee, Toenee;Do not place apostrophes in your name if at all possible. Recent examples (also good for example, J'uelz Maxwell and J'uwelz Max." #17 Delaney Lewis Report 101points POST Ian Conelley Ian Conelley Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago What's his sister's name?

Angelica Rocafuerte Report 100points POST Nathaniel Nathaniel Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago I think the Ah should be pronounced Aargh! 63 63points reply View More Replies... View more comments Moreover, Ruth's advice is to not use a word that has a tragic meaning or context, unless the word is already in cultural use as a name. "Recent example – Macksim," she noted. Another thing to avoid while naming a baby is to "not make matchy-matchy twin names, or have siblings who all share the same first syllable. Recent examples – siblings Jaden, Jaed, Jaidlynn, and Jadee." Ruth's advice for a baby name is "to not replace vowels with y's just because you can. Recent examples – Reyly, Brynzlee." She added a couple more tips on how not to name a baby: "Don't add 'lyn' or 'lynn' to random words or names that really could do without. Recent examples – Jimmelynn, Wormlyn;Do not create your baby name by mashing your name with your partner's name. Recent example – Christephany;Do not use names from a fandom that are not really names (often they aren't for good reason). Recent examples – Caleighsi, Cruella." #20 Bailey Graye Wilkie Report 98points POST Anna Te Anna Te Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Glark Cable 158 158points reply View More Replies...

View more comments For those wondering if there's an end to just how many crazy names can exist out there, Ruth believes there's no end to inspiration. "Ever hear the saying that given enough time, even a monkey can type out Shakespeare? Well, given enough time, an infinite number of names can exist. With a huge variation of how the letters in the English language can be rearranged to make names, if there is no limit on how many names or how long the names, the number of options are, in fact, infinite," she explained. Ruth continued: "And this is the true inspiration for the group – the endless variety of how humans imagine themselves and envision identities for their children," she said and added that she finds it fascinating. #23 Nikki Parker Report 95points POST Jack Holt Jack Holt Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Oh honestly.... 50 50points reply View More Replies...

They offer uniqueness that doesn't require the respelling of existing names, or the complete fabrication of new ones. And interestingly, this exploration also garners a majority of names that are, in essence, nongendered definition-wise." The creator noted that some people have already started to explore this trend, but she thinks it can be taken much further. Ruth shares some of the names from this project, and some of the more wild names from the Facebook group, with commentary, on the Twitter account @NameMurghdyrrs so be sure to check it out! #26 Group member Report 86points POST Mark Stewart Mark Stewart Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago I'm not sure what I should be more offended by, the name or 'tooken'. 227 227points reply View More Replies...

Publish Not your original work? Add source Every parent wants what's best for their kid, bottom line. Name included. So no doubt they will be choosing it carefully, with time to reflect, think of alternatives and ask for feedback from people whose opinion they trust. Or so we think. Well, this hilarious Facebook group with a whimsical name "That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr" shows what happens when things take a very different direction. For one reason or the other, the result is a bunch of crazy, funny, and somewhat bizarre names that got shared on this group. They make us not only question the value our names carry, but also appreciate the one we have. Scroll down though the hilarious collection below and be sure to check out our previous article with more names from "That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr."

View more comments Bored Panda reached out to Ruth Zschoche, sci-fi author, artist and the creator behind the Facebook group "That name isn't a tragedeigh, it's a murghdyrr" to find out more about the community as well as her insights into the crazy names that get shared on there. The idea for this miscellaneous group was born during the pandemic when Ruth turned to Facebook to be more connected to others in times of isolation. She went on joke groups, local and fan-based groups, shaming groups and other communities to distract herself. When Ruth gave birth to a baby, she was active in a couple of mom and pregnancy groups and had to go through the baby naming process. She said to us previously that the group started on a whim from a funny tagline and it took off like crazy. #2 Becki Clingan Report 188points POST Loretta Loretta Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago How is a newborn able to handle the camera? 85 85points reply View More Replies...

At some point it started sounding good. Reminds me of the Friends episode where Ross and Rachel discuss names and kept saying ‘veto’ until one of them said that ‘veto’ starts sounding like a good option. 93 93points reply View More Replies... View more comments "We have over 75 thousand members now. It has been nuts," Ruth told us. Today, she manages several hundred posts a day. "I wish I was getting paid for it," she added. The community has a lot of discussions that arise that are only peripherally name related, and that takes perhaps the most energy to manage, Ruth argues. "But they are, some of them, important discussions. The challenge is to make sure everyone (within reason) can share opinions on topics while being decent and polite to each other. These include race, gender, politics, religion, parenting, and cultural differences." #5 Bella Hough Report 164points POST tHeBoRdEsTpAnDa tHeBoRdEsTpAnDa Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Imunique...

Moreover, the group has seen more people sharing their own stories with naming their children or being named themselves. "We also have more people sharing anonymously from workplaces such as amusement parks, hospitals, schools, etc." #8 Group member Report 145points POST RedPepper RedPepper Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Translation: my child is the opposite of a miracle. 171 171points reply View More Replies...

"Recent examples I have seen include Ridge, Rustler, Richochet, Umbrella, Tangerine, Pistol, Shield, Skylight… you get the point." When asked why people are so fascinated with all the crazy names, Ruth says that it has to do with the fact that naming is power. "Naming is identity. Naming places stickers of the world and history over the essence of folks before they are even born." "I also think that there is some truth to saying that people like being the observers of the strange and other, like seeing someone do a crazy stunt or watching a variety show. You want to admire the shenanigans and wince at the same time," she added. #11 Jackie Yates Report 131points POST Nathaniel Nathaniel Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Sugar Sweet Diabetic Coma is her full name. 119 119points reply View More Replies...

This shift, like any generational shift, is fought against and marveled at. Judged and admired for the audacity. It will be interesting to see, in perhaps 20 years, what this generation of children think about their own names. What will be the tragedies of their parental generation? Will names come full circle or will they get even more wild?" the creator of the group wondered. #14 Caro S Report 113points POST Mistiekim Mistiekim Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Or just Joy or Angel? 48 48points reply View More Replies...

"Top (though not all) tips to avoid being on this group:Do not respell common names in ways that violate how letters and phonics work in the English language. Recent examples – Graiesonn, Tammiey;Do not make body parts a segment of your respelled name. Recent examples – Tiphiknee, Toenee;Do not place apostrophes in your name if at all possible.

View more comments Moreover, Ruth's advice is to not use a word that has a tragic meaning or context, unless the word is already in cultural use as a name. "Recent example – Macksim," she noted. Another thing to avoid while naming a baby is to "not make matchy-matchy twin names, or have siblings who all share the same first syllable. Recent examples – siblings Jaden, Jaed, Jaidlynn, and Jadee." Ruth's advice for a baby name is "to not replace vowels with y's just because you can. Recent examples – Reyly, Brynzlee." She added a couple more tips on how not to name a baby: "Don't add 'lyn' or 'lynn' to random words or names that really could do without. Recent examples – Jimmelynn, Wormlyn;Do not create your baby name by mashing your name with your partner's name. Recent example – Christephany;Do not use names from a fandom that are not really names (often they aren't for good reason). Recent examples – Caleighsi, Cruella." #20 Bailey Graye Wilkie Report 98points POST Anna Te Anna Te Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Glark Cable 158 158points reply View More Replies...

View more comments For those wondering if there's an end to just how many crazy names can exist out there, Ruth believes there's no end to inspiration. "Ever hear the saying that given enough time, even a monkey can type out Shakespeare? Well, given enough time, an infinite number of names can exist. With a huge variation of how the letters in the English language can be rearranged to make names, if there is no limit on how many names or how long the names, the number of options are, in fact, infinite," she explained. Ruth continued: "And this is the true inspiration for the group – the endless variety of how humans imagine themselves and envision identities for their children," she said and added that she finds it fascinating. #23 Nikki Parker Report 95points POST Jack Holt Jack Holt Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Oh honestly.... 50 50points reply View More Replies...

They offer uniqueness that doesn't require the respelling of existing names, or the complete fabrication of new ones. And interestingly, this exploration also garners a majority of names that are, in essence, nongendered definition-wise." The creator noted that some people have already started to explore this trend, but she thinks it can be taken much further. Ruth shares some of the names from this project, and some of the more wild names from the Facebook group, with commentary, on the Twitter account @NameMurghdyrrs so be sure to check it out! #26 Group member Report 86points POST Mark Stewart Mark Stewart Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago I'm not sure what I should be more offended by, the name or 'tooken'. 227 227points reply View More Replies...
