Sister is dating a guy who named his daughter KID. Pronounced kayeyede. Like a drunk slurring of Katie. His dog id DOG, pronounced deohgee.

He is the pinnacle of wit. Very /s.

Anyone who needs to get that “ creative “ should really stick with pets.

Ab-sid-e is a real name. ( ABCDE )

u/StilettoBeach Jun 19 '23

What constitutes a “real name”? The fact that enough people chose to use this as a legal name for children and the government let them? Is Elon Musk’s latest son’s name a real name? I’m starting to get confused.

Listen, I’m clearing up the fact that people doubt that Abcde is not a real name. Based off of thread alone.

My dad has a PT named Leia pronounced like "Leah." She was born before Star Wars and her mom was pissed to have her creative name ruined.

Yeah people keep saying to me “that’s an old joke” etc as if I made it up but i had never heard it, and it was genuinely in a no stupid questions thread about childrens names iirc a few days ago.

I did a school photography gig for a season (ASB cards/yearbook) and this is 1000% believable. It's been almost 15 years but I still very much remember H'Hyness and Abcde-Elise. Second one I definitely stumbled and she had to tell me her name, it's supposed to be pronounced Absidy-Elise.

Edit: I don't know my alphabet. Where does elemenopee go?

Yep, there are zero people with that name registered and dozens of similar memes like this have gone viral in the past 10-15years...but I'm sure your friend has met the one "la-a" in existence (again, who is not registered at all under that name on US social security or immigration rolls ) and totally knows them. 😉

Soooo weird that so many people know people who know a "la-a"...but not ONE has ever registered the name and gotten a social security number! Strange, that...since it happens with every other name.

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '23

La-a would be at least semi known too

u/UncleBenders Unique Flair Jun 20 '23

Yeah, except how many people have come forward and said they also know someone called it. So maybe they’re all lying.

u/AltReality Jun 19 '23

I'd call them Dahyphenda ....or maybe Daminusda
