lol so true
Middle class = normal name? Their idiots who all call their kids Amelia/Chelsea
Above average would include some middle class. Why didn’t you put upper class?
“They’re”
Amelia and Chelsea ARE normal names (although I have only met one of either of them in my entire life). Chelsea was ranked as number 47 most common girls’ names the year I was born and Amelia is a Saint (saints’ names always seem to be pretty popular).
They are using Hollywood as a synonym for upper class (as in people who have Hollywood levels of money).
By non-normal names, I believe they are referring to names such as “Precious,” “Shaqueacha” (pronounced “Sha-quee-sha”) and “Yuri” (pronounced “Judy”). These are names of some students in my mother’s class this year.
Or “Apple,” “Ivy Blue” and other such notorious Hollywood-esque names.
Yuri pronounced “Judy”???? How the heck do her parents minds work. Strike that, it sounds like they don’t.
Do they have a son named Ramond Luxury Yatch?
In my head I first pronounced Yuri as (you-ree) not Judy, I don’t know how people come up with these weird spellings and sounds. I’ve known a Jzakeson (pronounced as Jackson) WTF! Poor kid has to live with it!
That reminds me of a girl whose name was pronounced la-dash-a. Her name? L-a. Seriously. The letter “L,” a dash, then the letter “a.”
What is wrong with Amelia? I love that name, it’s my cousins name! I never liked Chelsea, but that’s because I knew a really b*tchy Chelsea in elementary school so that hatred sort of stuck with the name.
The REAL ugly names are the Mackennas and the Kaydens and all the horrible new names parents give to their kids these days….
I know an 18-year-old Kaden. I guess his parents were just ahead of their time.
“Above average” income have the most normal names? But actually, every single person is on the quirky side of normal?
I don’t think “normal” means what you think it means.
Also, there are no poor people called John.
that is racist, just because black people give their kids names like “elephantiqua” and “mombaisha” or whatever does not mean they are all poor. you should join the 21st century!
They may not be poor, but, frankly, the names are still stupid. They try and say that they are “ethnic” or “African” names. Show me one person actually from Africa that has a name that even slightly resembles Shaquanda or Tyneesha. The most common names in Africa are Mohammed and Miriam (or some versions of those two).
Actually, the 3 poorest kids in my gym class are named “Charles”, “William”, and “John”. Of course, I’m white and so is my school’s population.
I read ‘Hollywood’ as ‘Holy Wood’.
Congratulations. You got the joke.
So if none of the classes give their kid a “normal” name, then wouldn’t that mean that the definition of normal would be redefined to something else, making that the new normal? XD Thusly no idea of normal would truly be normal O_o
I know a kid named Genry. He says his mom didn’t know how to spell Henry, so she spelled it the way she pronounces it. The kid’s a bloody genius though.
Is she Hispanic? It would be pronounced with an “H” in Spanish.
“Pilot Inspector Lee” Jason Lee’s son’s name, best name ever…
three words for you: Audio Science Clayton.
let the tears flow.
Bitch, please.
Love, Dweezil and Moonunit Zappa.
Moxy Crimefighter Jillette
thank you all, that just brightened my day!
If I’m not mistaken, the way they spelled his name, it’s Inspektor.
Also:
Bandit Lee Way (FYI, she’s a girl)
Cherry Iero
Phinnaeus and Hazel Roberts
Willow Sage Hart (daughter of Pink and her husband)
Kal-el Cage
You madam, just won free internet
Surprisingly accurate for me.
What defines a “normal” name?
A name that permits you to sleep inside.
Seriously, we have an expression in french about these names that translate literally as “a name to sleep outside”.
That made me laugh a little.
It’s a type of absolute zero. No normal name exists. Look at the chart.
Normality is relative,

Sorry to be racist, but poor white people give their children mostly Biblical names, it’s poor black people that have the bizzare ones.
Jim carey’s daughter is named “Jane”, fairly normal… But she probably has a strange middle name? Nope. It’s “Erin”…. “Jane Erin Carey” Yell that name out in a crowd and no one will think you’re insane.
Well, if you yell anything randomly into a crowd, some people may think you’re insane.
unless its name. then you’re an idiot who either got lost or lost a kid.
* a name.
As someone with a “unique” name, I’m always really irritated when I hear people go “oh I want my child’s name to be unique!” – These people don’t take a moment to think that maybe their kid doesn’t want to have a unique name. It may sound kind of cool to you when you fantasize about it, but to have to spend your entire life being singled out due to your name, constantly having to endure your name being misspelled and mispronounced every single time is really annoying. People just want a normal name.
Is your name Toast?
lol im called nohbohdy
So you’re the one who blinded poor Polyphemus!
I met someone who named their daughter “Dakotah”.
I asked her why not just name the child Dakota and she said that she wanted the kid’s name to be unique so she added that extra h

The two funniest poor people names I’ve heard:
Le-a, which most teachers thought was pronounced as “Leah” or something similar, only to have the girl’s irate mother come and yell at them that it’s pronounced “Ledasha.”
Then there’s some poor woman who was at the hospital when she gave birth to her daughter, and overhearing some doctors using medical jargon, she heard a term she thought would be a good name for her new baby girl, so she named her “SyPhyllis” (emphases on the second syllable).
I kid you not, my dad’s best friend who works for the superior court in the inner city had a woman come in whose first name was spelled “Va****”. She told them it was pronounced “Vuh-geena”.
All of the above are urban legends.

Blanket. Apple. Nuff said.
Angelina Jolie’s MadDogs is also a valid candidate.
I really can’t speak to this. At the time my mom was pregnant, my parents probably fell into the ‘middle class’ range, but my dad wanted to name me “Zeus” if I were a boy and “Roxeanne” -spelled that way but pronounced the old Gaelic way, “Ro-shane”- if I were a girl. Thankfully, after 22 hours of labor when my mother looked at him with her eyes blood red from all the broken blood vessels and said she was naming me something normal, he decided discretion was the better part of valor.
That made me laugh.
But honestly I think Zeus would have been kind of cool once you got passed middle scool.
So… did you end up being a boy or a girl?
Well if your name’s Roxanne then they’ll gonna constantly sing that song whenever you pass by.
Probably because the poorest people spend too much of their time watching the movements of the hollywood stars.
Have you met the British upperclass? They routinely name their children chlamydia and tarpaulin.
Is fonney cause is racist!
I’m sorry so the above average have normal names? Like Paris and Newt and Mitt and Buffy?
We’re middle class, maybe above average. My name is Cleopatra and my little brothers are named Ashton and Grayson. We live in the US. Explanation, please?
Don’t be hatin on my Shaniquah!!!
This chart reminds me of The Hunger Games. There was that one girl named Glimmer. The one that got stung to death by those Tracker Jackers.
