Google says "mac" is the same so Son of Andcheese should have seen it coming.

I'd almost prefer that to made-up bullshit like Lakyn and Taylyn.

Y'all the world's richest asshole named his kid after a barcode. There are no rules.

I can see saying to one’s self “oh, that’s silly” but to the point of annoyance??
Trollingstoned
But that's what an annoyance is. It's not actually important, but it makes you shake your head for a second.
FrankDimaggio5691
You’re right. It is seldom known information. A daughter being named “son of” just doesn’t make a difference to me. I think it’s a thoughtful gesture from a parent to child. Though I know it’s made in ignorance, in most cases. Lol, I guess I’m more annoyed than the OP😅 Touché
mrollings53
This isn't new. The movie Splash made Madison a popular girls name when it means 'son of Maud'.

At least that name is also the name of some cities. It’s not completely made up

It's the name of some cities because James Madison was the fourth president of the U.S. Second, all names are made up.

Lady in my town named her kid Thorston. In his class there's a Thor and Torston. He's 6ish.

Is "Mac" equivalent? If so, does that make "Mac and Cheese" into "Son of and Cheese?"
StephenDaniels
After pointing out that "Her name is Daenerys, NOT Khaleesi" 30 or 40 times I decided that looking at porn was a better use of my time.
starkeclipse
I dunno. IMO, spend your time caring about something that actually matters.
TheUnnamedPoet
So... Does that mean that things like "McDonald" are the Scottish equivalent of "Donaldson" for us in North America?
Blacktusk
Mc, -son, -ez, -ovich, -ov, O', Fitz-. "First Name child of That Guy" was pretty much how names were done for a long time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronymic
Septcanmat
Why is it only ‘son of’ and never ‘son of son son’? Grandkids weren’t a thing? Where the O’McFitzPatricks at?!
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Don't know about the rest but Fitz was sometimes used to indicate the mother, rather than the father. Also certain fitz surnames like Fitzroy can indicate illegitimate descendants of royalty.
TheUnnamedPoet
Huh. Neat. Thanks for the link.
fantabuloustimewaster
Several other surnames have become quite ordinary women's names. Two examples off the top of my head are "Whitney" and "Leslie" (which were both men's first names earlier). I don't believe Scots/Irish women from Mc- families have a feminized surname, so perhaps there is some implied gender neutrality.
Meltemi
One that stood out to me was Madison, which started as a joke from Splash (the main character took her name from a street sign due to her literal "fish out of water" role in the plot) and ended up being taken seriously.
GRZMNKY
skelbagz
In Irish. Ní = female version of O'- daughter of. Nic - female version of Mc
fantabuloustimewaster
Oooh, Cunningham's Law in action: state an incorrect fact, and learn from the correction. But I've never met anyone with a Ní- or or Nic- family name. I would contrast with the Slavic languages, where e.g. Mr. Zelenskyy is married to Mrs. Zelenska. Do I just need to meet more Irish people?
skelbagz
No worries. If a woman is writing her surname in English then she'd likely just use O' or Mc. But if she's using her Irish name she'd use Ní or Nic
HatefulPrick
It's an Irish language thing. You won't see it unless someone's name is in Irish. Mc/Mac/O' are the anglicisations of it
ConstantlyonYoBack
I know someone with Ní in there name but they are male
HatefulPrick
Really? Interesting... 🤔

I remember once entertaining the idea of naming my kid "Aiden" because at the time I liked what it meant. This was when I was around 13 and before the fad caught on. His actual name is still fairly common but it's also more "classic" and not tied to any fads (afaik)

It's also pretty fashionable in Southern Africa. Went to school with 2 Nokia's and 1 Sony. Oh and Mercedes is a wildly popular girl's name.

1st- It's everywhere. 2nd- Every name is made up anyway (and every word), what's a few more? :-)
Isorikk
In this case it's morons who can't spell, not really weird. Michaela instead of McKayla, which is a common Christian name coming from the angel Michael and in Hebrew meaning "who resembles God"
MadamPuddifoot
Every name is made up. Some were just made up by idiots,and much more recently.

Cus for them, its a challenge and they wanna be special.
theoriginalgiga
Not just Americans. Many moons ago when I was young and helping my momma out with some work stuff where I got to see a LOT of names. she had to make a call to verify something to a Mr Anus Asswad. A very nice Indian man. Yes that was the actual spelling of his name which she confirmed... Also I got to meet a Mr. Baby Jesus. His first name was Baby, second name Jesus.

Many of us saw an interview with a "supposed" mother who claimed that's what she named her child, along with a clip from the lady who named her kid Abcde. The story...very much public...the reality, entirely doubtful.
MsQuin
Ive found some one named Joelisa. And i was like... Okay is that maybe just some forgien name I've never heard of maybe. No. I shit you not it is a combination of their parents names Joe and Alisa.

You think that's bad, there are people who unironically name their kids Blaikney or CVIIIlyn, pronounced Caitlin.

brownribbon
Well in this case, yes, your freedoms.
Jarjarthejedi
How about instead of giving a bunch of busybodies /more/ power over other people we just make it easier for kids to change their names if they want? Maybe we can learn from history instead of /again/ saying "hey, do you like inserting yourself into other people's lives and controlling things about them you have no reason to? Well here's a job for you!" :/
dasklaus
Kids will absolutely name themselves something stupid and regret it. I'd rather suggest having procedures/norm for accommodating name changes at school (etc), that you can undo or change again without issue. Also great for trans kids.
KaijuIsekai
Perfect opportunity to stop people from naming their kids dumb things like James, Luke, Mary, or John, like some kind of filthy Papist.
Sheari
My husband's dad's side, all the boys have some combination of John, Joseph, Patrick, and Michael. Somehow he wound up with none of those, of which we are thankful. Our son also has none of those.
SarcasticComment
Oh Joy. that's going to be fun for minority groups. "Come now, prove to the whites only republican council 'Chow' doesn't mean what they think it does."
SarcasticComment
The Caucasity of not realizing this will be an obvious mistake. "Folks not like me shouldn't have free will to name children because bless their hearts."
SomeDetroitGuy
Yes, having the government in charge of naming babies is a horrific affront to the most basic of reproductive freedom.
itsallaboutthecones
Wait, is there supposed to be an /s there? It's not "putting them in charge" it's preventing you from screwing your kids life up by naming them something stupid.
kickmyballsrealhard
That’s way too much overreach. If I want to name my kid “battle axe” I have every right to
dasklaus
Okay, but you realize you and your child are distinct people? You should be able to fuck your own life up, not someone else's, not even when you made that other life.
