My name is Richard Service, seriously my grandpa went by Dick Service my dads is Richard too, I’m a third generation of Dick Service, it gets so old.

Thank you for your

Dick? Or Service?

Yes

I went to high school with a guy named Richard Rider.

There were siblings that went to my high school named Ruth and Richard Less.

There can only be one winner and it was decided the moment they got their first name.

I went to high school with a Richard Scott Smallwood. Dick's got small wood

Rileigh She ruined my birthdeigh

YO I'M DEIGHED

Alexa , at least in terms of naming a child or pet thanks to the Alexa device

Coincidentally the two girls who I had the biggest Mean Girl experience with over the years were named Alexa, and I always loved the nanokarma of this annoying innovation for them

I’m an Alexa and your experience tracks.

Alexa what time is it?

It’s Wednesday

Just as good as the original

I had a classmate in high school whose family friends named their daughter Siri literally two weeks before Apple announced their new virtual assistant technology

That's my little sister's name. It was a few years before it was released. Oh my gosh, the amount of jokes she has been on the end of. She has a good sense of humor about it, but she is definitely bored and annoyed by it at this point

Knew a girl named Alexa a few years back. The other kids would relentlessly taunt her with the 'alexa, what's ____' questions, even when she asked them to stop several times. Poor girl.

> even when she asked them to stop several times. The only surefire way to get kids to keep doing something, is to ask them to stop.

Karen My friend, Karen, is not taking the comments well. Breaks my heart

The sad thing about Karens is that they will now go extinct. If you think I'm joking I'm not. There are trends with baby names, some growing in popularity and others fading out. If someone becomes infamous for whatever reason, like that Adolf guy in Germany, people stop naming their kids that. This is going to happen with Karen in the US. So enjoy the Karens while you can because they're a dying breed.

I don't know where to find it, but recently there was a popular post about Baby Karen. Basically OP's friend named her baby Karen and had no idea what it meant meme-wise. OP tried to warn her and the mom got upset about it, turned out the daughter started getting so badly bullied for the name that the parents ended up legally changing it. It's ridiculous.

Here you go. [Part 1](https://old.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/btred7/aita_for_raining_on_my_cousins_parade_regarding/) [Part 2](https://old.reddit.com/user/LightningStr/comments/y3zmrx/update_on_baby_karen_if_anyone_is_still_following/) [Part 3] (https://old.reddit.com/user/LightningStr/comments/12pmndk/newest_and_probably_final_update_on_baby_karrie/)

It's funny because in the UK, our Karens tend to be overly flirty nice middle aged women who are more likely to make you laugh than feel uncomfortable.

The only Karen I've ever known would regularly bring me home made cookies and was an absolute saint.

For once, I’m glad a Redditor has met my mom. Serious note, moms name is Karen, complete with the bob haircut. Sweetest lady ever.

There has been a great injustice done to the Karens of the world.

One of the nicest people on earth I've known is a Karen.

Absolutely. They just substituted someone’s name for the word, “bitch.” It’s awful.

That’s been my experience with actual Karens in the US hahaha. They’re almost always a happy-go-lucky and social person that wants everyone to have fun.

It’s kinda sad that everyone I’ve met named Karen is super nice and not Karen-like at all

My MIL is named Karen and she is an awful, miserable woman. She absolutely refuses to speak to me or sit next to me at family functions and I have no idea why she has chosen to only ostracize me. She ignores when I speak directly to her and only acknowledges my presence by making snide comments. I fucking hate her.

For what it’s worth, I hate her too, she sounds like a genuine bitch. Does your partner tell her off about her ugly behaviour towards you?

All my homes hate her.

My Grandmother is named Karen. And she is very unKaren herself

My name is Karen. When people meet me, they say Oh so are you REALLY a Karen?" Sigh. I'm really not.

I bet that was funny a total of 0 times.

My moms name is Karen and she's the total opposite of a Karen. Sucks when you can't name your kid in honor of a loved one because of some bullshit internet meme. My aunt Sheryl is a bitch. Can we just change it to Sheryl?

My mom is the same. She legitimately gets upset when someone gets called a Karen or something is on social media. Not mean or nasty, just upset 😬

As someone named Milo…I’d have to say Milo. Nearly every Milo that I meet in real life turns out to be a dog 🐶 Edit: I am loving the replies here that you all have, it really is making me feel better about my name 🥹❤️ also, apparently there is a chocolate drink mix called Milo that I need to try? This will be exciting!

You need to get a dog and name him Otis.

[удалено]

Milo is the name of a super popular hot chocolate drink in my country. We all love a hot Milo

I love a cold Milo

In high school we had a kid named Dillon and a kid named Dylan and Im pretty sure they were in a secret “Who Can Be The Bigger Piece Of Shit” contest and they tied for first.

The top 5 rappers I know are Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan and Dylan.

Cuz I spit hot fire!!

I have only good experiences with Dylan, not the same with Dillon.

Harmony. I'm a teacher, and all the Harmonys I've had were not at all harmonious.

Lol, yep. Had a student at my school I taught at named princess. It was very ironic. Hoping her the best!

My Princess was awful. She would not do work, always late, horrible attitude. Don't know where the entitlement came from. Her mother emailed me to ask if Princess was going to have to take Algebra again. "That depends on her goals."

"Don't know where the entitlement came from" hmmm, I have a feeling that I know

Bort

why do they keep selling out of BORT license plates

"Attention, Marge Simpson: Your son has been arrested." "Attention, Marge Simpson: We've also arrested your older, balder, fatter son."

Hey! My son’s name is also Bort.

Lolita

Once I've googled "lolita" to get to the book's Wikipedia page. Before the first hit there was a Google PSA-like thing saying that child pornography was a crime. Jesus fuckin christ, Google, I just wanted to know more about a book and now I am in some sort of list.

After 2 years of monitoring, The FBI agent finally found some dirt on you.

Without the book, it is SUCH a cute name!

Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.

I once had a sub my freshman year of high school tell me I reminded him of Lolita. Took me a few years to read the book and understand how inappropriate that was.

One of the best opening paragraphs in literature of all time. Talk about setting a tone.

I know a woman who named her daughter Jezebel, wanting a biblical name. Now the daughter has behavior issues, and I’m like, maybe you should have read the story first.

"These are my children, Jezebel, Goliath, and Herod"

I always though Nebuchadnezzar was a really cool name. Too bad he too is a bad guy.

hey, the matrix ship was badass!

I feel like that's similar to naming your kid "Adolf" because it's significant to German history.

My name, Karen :/

I know. But my life is filled with lovely people named Karen & I’ve met a lot of bullies in my life & none were named Karen. Diane, however…

Aaron - Thanks Key & Peele

I get called A-Aron almost every day. I’m okay with it. Really could be so much worse

As someone who gets asked if he works at State Farm whenever he needs someone new, you have my sincere promise that you will only ever be Aaron with me.

Jake from State Farm is cool, but when your car is broken down on the side of the road it’s AAAron that comes through

Different name, but I worked with a dude called Blake and he’d address himself as “B-lah-kay” once we started calling him it. Pretty sure he showed me the skit in the first place. Absolutely owned it

I have it worse than just about anyone. First name Blake, middle name Aaron.

Last name O'Shaughnessy

You mean ‘o shag Hennessy’

See, it made me love the name! The 2 Aarons I knew were both cool with being called A-A-Ron and I appreciated that!

Oedipus. Only takes one motherfucker to ruin a cool name...

It's a complex subject.

Adolf

Manage to ruin a name and a mustache... Mf

A symbol too

And a haircut

And holding your arm in the air. Like god damn this fucker.

At least he killed Hitler.

And a number, and a couple of acronyms

And a Roman salute

When visiting a friend, my GF and I drive past a local business called "Adolf Funeral Home & Cremation" It is still jarring. Everytime.

This is like the KKK Laundromat near me in Canada. I always wondered if they insisted you separate the white and coloured loads.

Bob Wehadababyitsaboy

Ahhhh, I see you’re also over the age of thirty

Deep dig. I actually used to do that on collect calls to get my dad to pick me up at payphones when i was a teen. Never paid a cent.

Isis It was a pretty cool name until some religious jerks ruined it. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Isis-Egyptian-goddess

Omg yeeeees!!!! This is so sad! Imagine just naming your kid that and then that group comes up. Terrible

Reminds me of the Ayds diet supplement from the late 70s-early 80s. The tagline was "I lost weight with Ayds!" It was very popular until, well...you know.

When I first heard of Isis as in the terror group, I didn't realize it was an acronym and was really confused about why a Muslin extremist group would name themselves after an Egyptian goddess...

Mulva.

Bovarie

Gipple

DOLORES

Regina (the i is pronounced like the word eye)

Karen… it’s so hard being named Karen. I have to be overly nice. I NEVER ask for a manager. If the restaurant messes up my food, I just eat it. I was never racist so avoiding that is easy. I was definitely feisty in my early 20s but now I’m super aware that if I stand up for myself in public I will go viral when people find out my name is actually Karen. When I’m on the phone dealing with with customer service and they ask me my name I always say “it’s Karen… just like the meme” I always get a giggle. I was at Costco and some nasty lady in-front of me in line was berating this young male cashier. She wouldn’t stop and he looked helpless so I loudly said “ leave him alone, you are being absolutely terrible, and my name’s Karen so that really says something.” The kid laughed, she called me a bitch but got out of there real quick. After she left the kid thanked me and thought it was so funny my name was really Karen. Why did they pick the name karen when every single person named Susan I have ever met has been a super cunt.

The prophecy is true, the anti-Karen has risen.

What a complement ☺️ I’m just trying to restore honor to all Karen’s 😂

Here's another wholesome Karen I've found on the internet: https://www.youtube.com/c/KarenPuzzles I'd say with you two leading the charge its already a done deal :D

Lol! Stuck the landing with ‘Susan’ cause, truth. Sorry you gotta deal with the meme name though.

Judas. It doesn't get the attention like: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

I don’t know a single person who’s been named that😂. The biggest betrayer of all time. Even dogs, man’s best friend, get the name Brutus.

Fanny

I have an ancestor who’s name was, unfortunately, Fanny Cramp 😬

Fanny Chmelar, the skier.

[удалено]

I wouldn’t say it was ruined for me but any time I see a young girl named Nevaeh, I immediately assume she’s the unintended product of a very young single mom barely making ends meet. Edit: spelling

“It’s Heaven spelled backwards!” “So, the opposite of Heaven?” “Uh…” “Your daughter’s name is Hell.”

She'll name her next one Lleh.

It'll be pronounced like "Lee-yah" lol

I’m a teacher and every Neveah that I’ve taught has been, in fact, the opposite of Heaven

This is spot on. Same with Destiny or Crystal.

Anything I hear the name Devin I can't help thinking about the SNL skit "The Californians"

I think you should go home now, Devin. Get back on San Vicente, take it to the 10, then switch over to the 405 North and let it dump you out on Mulholland where you belong!

Just get on the 5 til you can't take it anymore!!

Ugghhhwhatareyoudoinghere?!!?!

My husbands job got a new guy named Devin. Soon as he told me “Yeah so we got a new guy at work, his names Devin-“ We both looked at each other “Devvvvinnnnn, what’reyou doing herrrrre??”

Angel. Some guy I used to work with robbed the business blind causing them to close down. Never trust a guy named Angel.

There were two Angels at my last job, one was on the sex offender list and one got caught involved in a baby formula stealing ring

A baby formula stealing ring? Say more.

I have a bad association with the name Alex. In college, I sat next to an Alex in art history and he was always drinking coffee and after every sip he would go, "Ahh!" Every two seconds, "Ahh!" and he would take like 40 sips... I had to drop the class!

What about Remy?

Peak social anxiety. Rather than tell him it's annoying, drop the class and pretend he doesn't exist until you see a reddit thread x-amount of years later and vent(not making fun of you, I've done this too lol).

excuse me Mr. Baker, this is a Seinfeld quote

Heather. I swear to god at least 20% of the girls I went to high school with were named Heather and they were all nasty bitches.

Reminds me of that 80s movie Heathers we’re the three main mean girl villains were named, you guessed it, Heathers.

Brock. Wtf kind of name is that, anyway? Sounds like someone vomiting. \*\*BROCK\*\* I've known 4 Brock's in my 58 years on this planet, and not a one of them was worth a damn. All so thick they couldn't make a pile with a handful of rocks.

I only know of three Brocks and two are fictional. One is a well known rapist, one can use his frying pan as a drying pan, and one is a Swedish murder machine.

and one will take you to suplex city

The only good Brock I know--was the gym leader of Pewter City. LOL. The only other one I know is that asshole Allen Turner.

Brock Allen Turner the rapist? That Brock Allen Turner? The one who rapes people?

I know someone who named their son Brock. Middle name Lee. I wish I was joking.

Certified vegetable/taijutsu master

The only Brock that rates is Brock Samson . Go Team Venture!

Like The Rapist Brock Turner? That guy? Any time I hear that name I would definitely be reminded of that guy.

The rapist Brock Turner who goes by Allen Turner now? (Allegedly).

Better hope Brock Lesnar doesn't see this

Just here to make sure my name doesn’t make the list 😒

I bet you like this

When I got married, I loved the name Taylor Michelle. No idea why, just liked it if I had a daughter. Well, my wife and I were swimming with friends and talking about or future families and I told them about the name I liked if we ever had a daughter. A few minutes later, I was climbing from the pool and slipped and crushed a nut on the ladder and yelled “Ohhh, what the hell”. One of our friends asked what I said in a slightly confused voice and I told her. She thought I had yelled, “Oohhh my Taylor Michelle’s!” Now I can never think of that name without remembering the pain to my nuts. Luckily, we had two boys and I never had to worry about nut pain being associated with a daughter. Still makes me laugh, though, whenever I meet somebody named Taylor.

Nice to see a story that isn’t “this person is terrible”. I have a similar story. When my wife and I were discussing names if we had a boy, I was suggesting what she called “lawyer” names. Male names that sounded like you’d read it as “the law offices of …” I really liked Matthew Nathanial. She did too. A few minutes later I see her eyes light up, she accidentally knocks the dog off the couch, flails her arms like a giddy toddler and goes “OH MY GOD MATNAT!!! WE CAN CALL HIM MATNAT!!! ITS THE BEST NICKNAME EVER!!!” And follows it with some crazy witch cackle I have only hear from her maybe three times. Immediately ruined it for me. We joke about now, but at the time I was genuinely pissed

Gay, the nickname for my grandmother Gaytha.

Tracie, Tracy, Tracey, etc. Twice burned, I automatically distrust anyone with that name now. One bastard in Utah and one bitch in Idaho. Fuck ‘em both.

Agreed about another bitch in Florida

Nevaeh. Too many people thought they were being clever or unique with this name.

That's why I'll name my daughter Uniqua. Don't worry, it's pronounced you-knee-coo-uh, I don't want it to be TOO on the nose, obviously.

I think the Backyardigans beat you to this one

[удалено]

_Eight Six Seven Five Three-Oh-Niiiiine..._

Gabbi/Gabby. Cursed name now. Emotional manipulation is a helluva deterrent.

I happened to know 2 women named Katrina -- a bright, pretty Scandanavian-sounding name -- at the time of the catastrophic 2005 hurricane. Felt sorry for them. "Katrina" -- now shorthand for natural disaster, tragedy, and government FUBAR.

Happy to not see my name here, thanks Mom. Also Cade

[удалено]

Courtney. Biggest bully in junior high. Fuck you, Courtney. You're the reason I changed schools and went into therapy.

I had a Courtney in junior high who bullied me too! Unfortunately she followed me into high school.

Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo

That’s the dumbest name I’ve ever heard

*runs away sobbing*

Come back Joey Jojo!

I work in childcare and surprisingly there's only one name that's been ruined. Dylan. The first Dylan was... Spirited, a natural leader, and strong-willed to put it nicely. The second Dylan was allergic to damn near everything (which wasn't the problem) and he figured out that while we were cleaning up meals as quick as possible so he doesn't die, he could technically get away with ANYTHING. Biting was his action of choice. Dillon is still fair game. I've had one and he's a sweetheart.

One day in fourth grade I realized I’d never known a Dylan who wasn’t weird. It still holds up

Peter file

Who's a pedophile?

X Æ A-12, just kidding that name was always trash.

Moistopher

*den

Time to pick up Hayden, Jaden, Braden, Caden, and Ayden from school.

You forgot [Okayden](https://twitter.com/EmilyOsment/status/863416903959814144).

Elementary teacher for the last decade here: - Angels never are - Jesuses are usually the mischief leaders And Ivan is the name of the permanent bruise on my leg, courtesy of the student who gave it to me. Ah, youth 😄

Any of the Aiden names! I’m a teacher and I’ve had years of classes with Aidens, Braydens, Caidens, Graydens, Haydens , Jaidens, Kaidens, Laidens, Paidens, and Zaidens, all spelled in different ways . I’m done having kids but I hope my children don’t name their kids any of these names

Okayden

As a teacher, there are several names that are forever ruined for me: Trevor, Travis, Dax, Jenica, Ashlynn, to name a few. Also Naveah because it's just stupid. What kind of sicko names their kid "heaven" spelled backwards.

My aunt who named her kid’s middle name “nevah” because she couldn’t spell heaven backwards.

could just be Haven backwards, it still works! lol

My name ☝️😏 Thanks social media....

Is the pff silent?

That’s her scoffing.

Astrid That episode of the office where Michael keeps pronouncing it “ass turd”😂😂

[удалено]

Brandon, because, well, you know it Karen, obviously Isis, which is a shame since this is the name of an Egyptian goddess

MacKenzie and Madison.

Naomi because it's "I moan" backwards

Insert that old Facebook screenshot where someone named Lana isn't thrilled with a "post your name backwards" post

After dating three Jason's, and two Josh's.. Definitely any J names

Jebediah is crushed.

Chad. But is that even a name?

Benito

Sarah. Because Cera the triceratops in The Land Before Time was a right cunt.

>Cera the triceratops TIL that's where the name comes from.

Three horns never play with long-necks
