‘Selfish’ parents slammed for giving all eight kids ‘awful’ names with ‘needless apostrophes’ – and even other symbols

MOST parents want their child’s name to be unique and special, but sometimes they can go overboard – especially with a family of eight kids.

They were slammed for giving their children “awful” names that contained everything from unnecessary apostrophes to symbols.

Reddit user DisastrousAnomaly sparked outrage after sharing the eight children in a post .

They shared a photo of the names that were displayed on a decal on the back of an SUV.

Underneath was the hashtag #MomLife.

Although many of the name s appeared to be pronounced normally, it was their spellings that were a cause for concern.

“Posted in a Facebook group I’m in,” they wrote. “Sending thoughts and prayers to these kids because they’re gonna need it.”

NAME NONSENSE

The names were posted in the popular Tragedeigh forum where people share names that are “deliberately misspelled or completely made up to appear more unique.”

The first one was “Ay’denn” with an apostrophe in the middle.

The second and third were “Ella’noä” and “Lilly’maë,” which contained both apostrophes and diaeresis marks.

“A diaeresis is a mark placed over a vowel to indicate that the vowel is pronounced in a separate syllable,” according to Merriam-Webster .

The names “Elyah’nor,” “Noèz’lou,” “Log’hann, and “Billy’jane” also have apostrophes.

There were two slightly different additions to the end of “Log’hann” and “Brenn’ley,” which both ended with stars, although it’s unclear if they were a part of their names.

Other Redditors were confused about the additional details in the kids’ names.

“What’s with the umlauts? And why the apostrophes?? And what do the stars mean?” one inquired.

“Do they actually have stars in their name?”

Merriam-Webster described an umlaut as “a diacritical mark placed over a vowel to indicate a more central or front articulation.”

HONEST OPINIONS

Several Redditors were blunt about how they felt.

“Why would you involve your kids in your crippling apostrophe addiction?” one asked.

“You are lucky. You had an encounter with the Tragedeigh Final Boss and came out alive,” a Redditor wrote.

They couldn’t help but express sympathy for “those poor kids.”

“People are so fricken selfish and stupid,” they added.
