Randy - seriously never understood why anyone would name their son/daughter this.
1 sexually aroused or excited:
‘as nervous as a randy adolescent on a hot date’
‘he was making her more and more randy’
2 Scottish archaic having a rude, aggressive manner
Because those are regional definitions that aren't widely known (or used) in other parts of the english speaking world. In America it';s almost never associated with those definitions unless you're talking to an Australian (def. 1) immigrant or minority population for example. Here "Randy" (or "Randi" for a woman) is a nickname for Randall, Randolph, Miranda or such like that.
On names with the weird spellings, I wonder if the parents ever accidentally spelled their name wrong. lol.
I feel sorry for the kids with really odd names that might get them teased in school or frequently having to tell people how to pronounce it or spell it.
FYI, Fanny was a polite name for bottom when I was growing up, but apparently, it is a very rude name in England...kind of like the c word here.
I don't know if it's a rude name, like used as an insult - I think it's just an alternate name for vagina - sort of like someone saying hoo-hah or vageen.
Funny story - my friend wanted to buy a fanny pack, so she could easily carry her wallet and a few items with her when she was biking. She was attending university in Scotland at the time. She went into multiple stores, asking employees if they had "fanny packs." She got weird looks and told that they didn't. The last store she went into, the employee started laughing - he knew what she meant, and showed her where the "waist packs" were (I think that was the term - it could be something else), and also let her know what fanny meant in the UK. She was laughing so hard when she told me the story.
A lot of otherwise decent names I just wouldn't use. I'm a fan of classic names, more towards the underused side. Things that maybe have their ups and downs in popularity but have stuck around forever.
Nothing in the top 20
Nothing with an odd spelling
Nothing that is a nickname (I am fine with nicknames, but I prefer to give a full name)
Nothing that really wasn't a commonly used name until recently (think Madison, Caden, etc)
Boys names for girls
Nevaeh
Any non-traditional name from Game of Thrones or any other pop culture phenomena.
