     Most of the baby names I see these days are complete tragedeighs

     I have no kids and no pets; there's not a creature on this earth that I've ever been tasked with naming. Still, I love browsing the Name Nerds subreddit, where anonymous internet users gather to debate the merits of different names. Most posts are from users looking to crowdsource honest opinions on monikers they're considering for their kids, for themselves, for their Sims, and responses can be pretty frank. Trendy "-eigh" names are deemed a "tragedeigh;" if you're considering naming your baby boy "Riot," the users of Name Nerds will strongly suggest that you do otherwise.

     In the comments section on Facebook, people ripped into the parents and the "terrible, terrible name" they chose. ¶ "You can't put 'eigh' into just any name and call it good," one critic said. ¶ "That name is a Tragedeigh," a fellow troll agreed.

     These days, naming children can feel like an unwinnable game — you could be accused of trend bandwagoning if you name your daughter, say, Harper; you're called a "tragedeigh" if you go with something truly original; or you're simply a bore whose child is destined to be one of a billion Liams — hence the baby name consultants who say their DMs and emails are overflowing with requests from confused parents.

     What name do you think began the tragedeighs? Or what was the first one you ever heard? Bonus: what is the worst tragedeigh you know in real life?

     I'm more frustrated with every passing post that is basically "we want to name our child David/John/Sarah/Mary, is it useable today?" ¶ Like... there are literally millions of people with these names. Your perfectly average name choice is not a tragedeigh or unusable. Please talk to someone about your anxieties.
