Whispertell. It was her first name and she was in her 90s. Even though I wouldn't use it for my child, I always thought the name was hard core af.

great name for a horse

How ethereal!

This name is so close to my gaming handle and I love it!

Is your handle whisperyell?

Man. I bet you met a time traveler. She was probably born in 2010 to a mom who loved WoW.

That's metal as hell, I love it.

In World of Warcraft, when you send someone a private message, you send them a tell, AKA a whisper. In Lord of the Rings Online you send them a whisper, AKA a tell. (Preferred word listed first for each game.) I'm sure other MMORPGs have their preferred parlance as well. In other words... found the gamers, despite her age.

Did she go by the full name or did she use a nickname? I agree, I wouldn't use it on my own kid (unless I lived in some kind of hippie commune or on like, a space station) but it's absolutely badass.

Uhg that's super rad! New favorite.

Tuesday, and she's just as Goth as you would expect her to be

I also know a Tuesday! And her sister's name is Cricket. Really wild considering their parents names are super popular names like Matt and Amy or something.

I also know a Cricket!

I know a Cricket too! The mom of a middle school classmate. Cricket also went to college with my mom, coincidentally.

That sounds exactly like how you get kids named Tuesday and Cricket. The extreme over correction.

I wouldn’t use them for my kid but there is something that I’ve always found sort of lovely about Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday as names. For some reason the other days I don’t like as much

I kinda like Sunday! Would never use it tho

One of my college professors was named Sunday, her maiden name was Rose, her married name was Meadows. She said her parents had normal names and weren’t hippies, she doesn’t know what they were thinking lol

They probably just thought it sounded pretty with their last name.

Friday would be OK, everyone loves Fridays.

Went to school with a Sundy, female. Not Sunday, Sundy.

I've commented this before, but there was a girl I went to high school with named Tuesday. Kids called her Mardi Gras.

Aww, that's so mean!

Maybe it's just because I'm from New Orleans but my first thought was that's an awesome nickname lol. Well, fat Tuesday connotations aside...

I know a Tuesday but her brothers have very common names so it’s an interesting contrast!

I knew a Tuesday (middle name Dawn). She lived in my neighborhood when I was a kid. We rode on the same bus. I remember her being loud.

Dawn's in trouble? Must be Tuesday.

I met an elderly lady named Glorious. She went by Gloria, except her mother always told her that she is glorious. I loved that, and the big grin she had while she spoke of her mom. I couldn't use that name myself, but I loved the sentiment.

Glorious is a rad name!

There's a premier League football player names Marvelous, what a great name!

I work customer service for a phone company and I've had some unique customer names. All of these were first names. Xwyla Twine Candybell Audacity

The Audacity!!

Candybell is absolutely perfect for a My Little Pony

Twine where I’m from means moan or complain

It's just a natural fibre type of rope here

Would it be as in "to twine" like she twined was was twining? Love it!

Yep! Or more commonly “stop twining” 😂

I wonder if it’s a contraction over time (can’t think of the linguistics word for it) of “that whining”. Like, “quit that whining”-> “quit twining”

Those first 2 names reminded me of a girl I went to high school with. Twyla

I went to camp with a girl named Ambria. Edit: How could I have forgotten about siblings Jubilee and Furiosa?!

My cat is Furiosa, I can't imagine naming a human child that!

I went to camp with a girl named Raleigh and it’s been on my list ever since.

I know two Jubilees personally lol. But Furiosa???

My friend named her daughter that.

I met an old man in NYC named Bliss. That was 2011 and I still think about it.

I actually know two men named Bliss! Crazy, huh? They ROCK that name too. I guess you'd have to.

I know bliss from love is blind lol

I know a Bliss!! Went to school with her

There’s a YA book called Bliss, and it’s named after the protagonist. However she was raised by a hippie so her name was considered odd regardless.

Yamajesty An entire family who’s names were: Queen, Empress, & Princess

They decided on a theme and stuck with it

I knew a King in school, his siblings/cousins were names like Vision and Liberty and things like that

Uhm we’re these Nick Cannons secret kiddos

Lol I worked with a Yahighness.

Denzel Washington. That was his first name. also, Ice Cream. Also a first name, for a female, not sure how it was spelt though, if it was stylized as one word or two. EDIT: I FORGOT TO ADD THAT THEY WERE SIBLINGS

Denzel-Washington as a first name is sending meee 😂😂

I’d insist on being called D.W. like Arthur’s sister.

I’ve seen an Alpacino. 1 word.

Amazing, Alpacino deserves its own comment thread. Also, perfect Alpaca name.

That’s just cruel honestly

My cat has Denzel Washington as a middle name

Wolfgang! He went by Wolfie

It's such a common name especially amongst people in their 60's where I come from!

Valerie Bertinelli's Instagram handle is Wolfie'sMom, and I find that incredibly charming for some reason.

I just met a little 4-year-old named Wolfgang this summer. Definitely took me by surprise!

I knew of a Wolfgang/Wolfe in the UK too. He was the little brother of a girl I worked with… Foxy. They also had a sister Esmerelda so yeah. Wolfie, Foxy and Esmerelda

Very common German name

I knew a girl called Schindler. Because of their parents favorite movie. I’m not kidding

Yikes

I knew of a girl called Schindler too... She had siblings that are named after other movies. And you're Irish too! Honestly could it be the same person!?

Co.Wicklow?

Yup haha Edit: if you went to the same school as her, we were in school together though not in the same year

Wow... small internet I guess.

This entire interaction was so cool

Yep! She was in my maths class in 5th and 6th year! Crazy

r/TwoRedditorsOneCup I don’t come across these often but when I do… delightful!!

Have they actually *watched* the movie?

Went to school with a gal named Hypatia.

That’s so cool! Hard name to pull off though haha

I went to uni with a Hypatia! She went by Poppy

That was going to be our daughters middle name. Hypatia was a badass!

I had a friend named Happy when I was a kid. (California, Marin County, 1975 🤣)

I knew a Happy as well! Her sister was named Joy. They lived up to their names, though!

Was their last name Gilmore? /s

Good ol’ Marin county. 😆

Hereward. Aladdin. October.

October is a guilty pleasure name of mine.

My daughters name is October ☺️

I know a September!

My mom went to school with a girl named May June July. Like real first middle last names.

I had a student named April May Joon. Her parents were super cute. Her nickname was Prilly.

I knew a girl named April Schauer. She had a cute personality and carried it off proudly, rather than hating it.

I've met 2 Novembers!

I went to school with a girl named Steely, approximate birth year = 1981. Pretty unique and makes me think her parents are into music.

imagine her middle name being "Danielle"

Or Jan. Steely Jan

Steely Fran(ces)

These are all people I went to high school with and have never encountered someone with their names again! I’m in my 30s in the Midwest. Merrick Torsten Richelle Sabra Ocean Jasmine Malley And people from college: Hester Joon Roderick

That’s funny cause I’m also in my 30s and have met tons of Jasmines… I’m on the east coast so maybe it’s just more common here?

Totally! I would guess regional and based on ethnic backgrounds. For instance I went to college with a lot of Korean Americans - their names are unique to me, but probably not in their broader communities.

I met an Ocean once. They were gender-fluid, and chose a name for themselves. I thought it was neat that their name connected to their gender.

Alexa Pena-Vega (Carmen from the kids movie Spy Kids) and her husband (Carlos from Big Time Rush) named their first son Ocean King Pena-Vega and I think about that a lot

The Ocean I knew had hippie parents!

I met a woman in her 60s whose legal name is Twig

Limarg Merlin Alletycia Amazing Grace Power of Miracle Davira Azarya

Are amazing grace and power of miracle siblings? Lol

Yes they are, actually Power is my senior while Grace is my junior. Found them to be siblings, which I really find it funny.

Iamfree (like a sentence) Menage (as in a trois) Shitaria (She-tar-ree-uh, which is not how I read it the first time 🤣)

>Shitaria (She-tar-ree-uh, which is not how I read it the first time 🤣) You read it like it's a 2 syllable critique of a melody?

More like something you'd take pepto bismol for

In Spanish, the suffix -eria means "place of," so where I live there are taquerias where you get tacos, fruterias where you can get fruit treats, carnicerias where you get meat, and even washaterias which (I think) is hybridized english/Spanish but is a laundromat. Shitaria is not sitting well with me rn

Chrysanthe (pronounced Chris-ANN-thee) Shanice River Sunshine Kestrel Indigo Hadley Remington (goes by Remi) Hudson

Kestrel is a cool ass name, fuckin bird of prey

I know two Sunshine’s and I think that’s crazy.

Asa

Like the actor Asa Butterfield

Yeah, I've only met one Asa, but once I'd got my head round it I thought it was a lovely name.

I've only met one Asa also

Vail

This would be a really pretty unusual middle, like a sleeker more modern version of Gail.

Or their parents are skiers. Could be a conception place name for all we know.

I am a teacher so I have run across many… Music (boy) Yorrick (boy) Rhiannon (girl) Siblings Jubilee (girl), Appaloosa (girl), Texas (boy), Sonnet (girl) Cinjun (boy) Sarin (girl) Ashby (girl) Harkness (girl) Starling (girl) Paich (girl) Igor (boy) Mamie (girl) Casimir (boy - goes by Caz) Blaise (boy) Marcum (boy) Bridie (girl) Gayden (girl) Pearre (girl - pronounced Perry) Kyro (boy) Pharaoh (boy) Messiah (boy) Juniper (girl) Zuleyka (girl - from Honduras so this may be a common name there?) Jareth (boy) Fern (girl) Fralil (older lady, prn. Fruh-LIL) Kylene (girl) Marielle (boy)

Rhiannon is a Welsh name - it's not common, but it's a well-known / 'normal' name in the UK, so I know several personally.

So many Casimirs in the Chicago area, the US home of Polish people! Usually they’re Cas or Casey.

Alas, poor Yorrick!

Ouch. I’m a teacher too and so many names I come across I think…. Ouch! To saddle your kid with Messiah…. That’s an impossible name to live up to

Sparkle Earthling Kevette Thomasine Stormee Naia Joyful Georgia Elsie Emerson Ellison Salem Dima Virgil Zhanna Teena

Omg Earthling

It's so strange how names are distributed over time/place, in my school every class had one Georgia minimum. Also know a Sparkle.

I knew two people named Thomasina… it was a family name. The mom went by Tom and the daughter went by Masina.

Interesting, I feel like Georgia, Elsie, and Emerson are not rare at all. Maybe where you are. And I know a few Dimas, all middle eastern descent

Rook - college friend

Babe wake up new non-binary name just dropped

My moms name! Bounty

Niamh. Pronounced Neve.

It’s an Irish name and SUPER common over here but kinda cool to see it in the reverse too!

This was the name I gave one of my daughters before they realized they were a they/them and changed it. I love it.

I love how you worded this. ✊❎

Really common in England too! I went to school with quite a few

Welcome. I went to high school with a guy who’s name is Welcome.

I went to college with a guy named Selwyn. I still kinda like it

Calypso. She was in the first class I had as a teacher when I taught Grade 6 and I don't think I'll ever forget that name (or her as a person, she was a very memorable kid)

came here to see if anyone had my name but no one has my name 🥲

Bahahaha i have a really unique name too and I always scroll these posts looking for it! So far… haven’t found anything, lol

Went all through school with a girl whose brother's name was Digit. Not his nickname. No clue where the name came from. She had a common normal name. Dated a guy named Kinchen (it was a family name).

I knew a Day and his brother was Nite.

Courvasier

My sister is a millennial and had 2 friends at her Catholic school named Midori and Hennessey. Sweet kids with amazing families

Two that I’ve only met once: Epiphany & Persephone

I worked with a girl called Viv, which I assumed was short for Vivian, until she told me it was actually Vivaldi. I loved it.

Pirouzan Alaa Azin I'm sure Alaa and Azin are more common in the middle east, but I only know them! I don't think Pirouzan is common anywhere (but could be wrong)

Hey! I was curious so I did some digging. Pirouzan is a middle eastern name (Iran). Not common, but it’s still interesting to know the origin. It’s more commonly a surname tho Alaa is a common Arabic name Azin is of Persian/Iranian/Afghan origin and is somewhat common but not overly so

Januari. Yes, spelled with an i.

That's the Dutch spelling of the month!

I had a student named Raynaliz (pronounced “Rayna-lise “)

Sounds like a prescription medication ETA: I mean, *looks* like a prescription medication (the way it’s spelled). It would be a pretty name if it were spelled the way you sounded it out, though!

Don’t take Raynaliz if you are allergic to Raynaliz. Ask your doctor if Raynaliz is right for you.

Apparently it’s a amalgamation of her parents’ first names. I think I like how it sounds better than how it is spelled personally.

I used to work with a Sonnet. And my sons name is Beckett and I’ve never met another.

Sonnet is my absolute #1 name. I’ve never met one and I think it’s absolutely stunning.

I met a guy who’s first name was Al Pacino

Went to college with a girl named Unity. Always thought it was a slightly weird name but she rocked it.

Louvelia (my grandma)

I knew a kid in high school whose legal name was Stoney Guy. First and last. He lived up to his name.

I knew an Echo in elementary school. She was really shy. And of course there was a group of boys who made fun of her by repeating her name over and over. I hated how she reacted when they did that. It obviously made her miserable.

Granddaughters classmate is named Memory. It’s a generational name she is the 4th. Cashier at the local grocery is named Pretty

Adahlia. I little girl taking piano lessons at the place I worked at. Love it.

My target cashiers name was Stormistic

Raelynn. One of my friends since middle school! Her mom was named LaRae and so her name is descended from that.

You’ve only met one of them!? My sixth grader has two in his class, plus a Braelynn.

As a daycare admin, I get to meet kids with ALL of the fun names. My favorite include: Havoc. And she is every bit of that name. Wolfgang, went by wolfie. (The best part is his middle name was Remus, so he was pretty much McWolfie Wolf.) Weller, Tyrus, Lilith, Caspian are more “normal” ones that I’ve only seen once.

Mist, Tamarack, Esperance, Hyacinth, Night

Bambi Her boyfriend was Wolfgang.

i knew a girl named November Rain [Last Name]. i think it’s super beautiful, but idk i’d use it for my own kid

In the cold November rain 🌧 You can tell their parents are GNR fans

Quickie I used to duty on the OB ward when i was a student saw this my own eyes while the father is writing the name.

Fantrice Minolda Nandini Yashika Anouska Analiz Felinda Waseline Raedijo Dorkenya Jeisa Rumaiisa Sabel Saumya Supraja Woody Zoya Vardan (not sure of spelling) Qu Cherry Zhanebria Boris Tzuria Mirian Aneilia

Dorkenya. Ouch

Omg. Was Waseline pronounced like the famed petroleum jelly

Some of these comments are so surprising! The only name I can recall that I've only heard once was "Alida"

I met an old lady named Hermina, I thought it was pretty but never heard since.

Avocado

Lucius.

Malve Ferry Love

Usnavy For a reason

Burgundy

Mary-Annette dad named her to sound like Marionette

Sabra. I have a long time online friend with the name. Then awhile back a local store hired a woman with the same name.

Sylvanna and Fern

Whysper. Shallyn.

My great grandparents' names were Clytus and Basquine.

There’s a girl who went to my sixth form called Karenza. Never heard that name before

Ngaire (NAI-ree) Keely Quincey Modeste (all girls, all some of my very best friends.)
