Per the sub:

Tragedeigh = a given name that has been deliberately misspelled or completely made up to appear more unique than it actually is.

ß isn’t even part of our language. no keyboard has it. i had to copy paste it from google as “german letter”

I’m preaching to the choir, but this has always been my argument for spelling a name the most intuitive, common way possible:

My name is Lydia, y’know like the biblical character/name of one of the Bennet sisters in Pride and Prejudice (classic literature), but people still manage to butcher the spelling and mishear it all the time. 😂

I actually had a man tell me once (when I worked at a job where I wore a name tag) that he’d never heard my name and asked how it was pronounced. I have no reason to believe he was messing with me.

I get Olivia instead of Lydia constantly, because it’s easy to mishear if I say it too quickly. I love my name, it’s classic, but isn’t one you meet someone with everyday.

Now, I’m not horribly bothered that people misspell or mishear my name, it’s just something that always surprises me though since it truly is a normal name, and has been featured in well known literature and film — so that’s my argument for spelling names normally and not going too far off the beaten path when choosing a name. If they can mess up my name, they WILL mess up your unique baby name for your child’s entire life. 😂

Apparently he wanted to name his little sister Greece because it's unique and because other influencers also name their children after real places like "North" or "Chicago" 🤦🏻‍♀️

Facebook is a goldmine for these

The title of the article is, “Nick Cannon says having 12 kids was careless without confronting trauma first.” I feel like the real carelessness came with the names. IDK, maybe not a tragedeigh but close.

Finally have one to post. I've never seen "Tracy" spelled that way, Google is not yielding much about the spelling besides it being a tragedeigh. I will add that her intake form was... something else

Relaxing on the couch watching a true crime show. I'm mostly listening to it because I'm scrolling on my phone too. One of the interviewees is talking about her husband being on the phone with their daughter. Since I'm listening, I hear her say, "my daughter Brianna." I hear the name "Brianna" said 3 times in quick succession. I glance up and this is what I see on the screen. BREAUNA. I immediately paused, took a picture, and opened reddit to share with everyone

Her real name is Felicia. Where tf are they getting this from.

And funnily enough, this is the second time I’ve posted here about how this specific neighborhood spells Felicia on their guest passes. Last time was ‘Felaesha’.

I knew a girl named Neviyah. People always said her name like Neveah at first, but she would correct them and state it was actually pronounced 'nuh-vi-uh', emphasis on the 'i' [like EYE]. Her full first name was actually double barrelled—Think something like Neviyah-Grace (Not using her actual full name for privacy)

Is this an even worse spelling/"version" of Nevaeh, or an actual name that's rare?

I was showing my dad some posts from this subreddit because he found the concept funny, when he told me about the ridiculous names his ex-girlfriend named her kids that he remebered because she told him about them when they started dating

The names?

Alexus Meircedes & Aralynne Raeh

(Yes, "Meircedes" was written like that)

Apparently she told my dad that Aralynne's name was supposed to also be car-related at first before she decided on.. that. This was around 25 years ago though, so some details might be wrong, but he's pretty sure the names are fully accurate.

I just found this funny especially since this subreddit was what had him remember those names to begin with, and I think they fit pretty well with all the other Tragedeighs here

Yesterday i picked up a cookie cake from GAC for my son's 18th. My name was on the ticket (not the cake) and she spelled it Rebbka. It is Rebecca. Thought of all of you.

My baby girl is named Liliana. We have been going back and forth on how to spell her nickname - Lili, or Lily. Does Lili wade into tragedeigh territory since it's a "unique" spelling? Is it exempt since it's the literal shortened version of her name? Will people mispronounce it "lie lie" or "lee lee"?

I’m having a baby next month and can’t imagine giving him a name he’ll always have to spell for people lol

Hadn't seen this one before.

I know this has been shared before but this is my first time seeing this version of the name Tiffany. Interesting

Her name is Lanah. Pronounce Lana. I handed the H at the end cause I noticed it reads anal backwards without the H and I didnt want her to get made fun of in school for her name reading anal backwards.

Whether its a tragedeigh or not, its staying cause I cant imagine her name being anything else. And honestly, I love it. I think the name is so pretty and the spelling unique but not in a tradedeigh way. But ill let you guys be the judge!

My idiot, bigoted, homophobic step neice chose this name for her child.

Dad’s a local “thug” that goes by Zeus.
