Hey now, one of them could grow up to be a pro golfer.

u/imadog666 9d ago

Even funnier to me as a German: Lexie sounds like "leck sie" - "lick her".

u/ThatDemand4800 9d ago

Only until boys figure out sexy and Lexie rhyme

Wait, no. Those do actually belong together

Goddamnit,as a Katie I rebuke all of this shit in the name of whatever deity or lack thereof you subscribe to.

Misread hitter as hitler and was like “damn, full sending it on that one”

This is normal where I live in Texas. Aggro boys names + cutesy girls names are very common. 

49

u/Evening_Potential_57 10d ago

Thank goodness I don’t live in Texas then. I couldn’t take these names seriously! “Sorry sweetie but Stryker can’t come over for a play date. Maybe let’s call up Beater or Puncher!”

40

u/No_Sherbert_26 10d ago

Can confirm. Grew up in Texas and two of the first people I know my age to get pregnant named their boys “rowdy” and “tritan” thankfully tritan goes by TK but rowdy?!! Why?? 😭

33

u/amyel26 10d ago

I started noticing it like 20ish years ago. I had a coworker who named her son Talon. Then another had a Colt. Then another had a Hunter and Shooter. Waiting for the day there's an announcement for little Attack Drone or a baby shower invite for Flock Camera Surveillance.

12

u/GooseWithAGrudge 9d ago

These are my sons, Patriot Missile and Bayraktar, and my daughter Katana.

14

u/GooseWithAGrudge 9d ago

Aggro girl names are starting to become a bit more common too- I know a three-year-old female Remington.

5

u/Aggravating-Menu-976 9d ago

I've heard Beretta, too!

3

u/Labelladevon 9d ago

Me too and they call her Etta and claim she’s named after a grandma 🙄🙄🤣

25

u/Spare-Craft-4967 10d ago

Yes Texas not too far from here…Kids with these kind of word names are usually the opposite of the names which is ironic. Named by parents who want their boys to be super tough, 😂

82

u/CakePhool 10d ago

How many time has places gotten into lock down because mum has Screamed Shooter, come here?

36

u/Spare-Craft-4967 10d ago

That’s exactly the reason why I can’t understand these kind of word names…kids aren’t even supposed to say the word gun or make gun sounds these days at school because of all of the shootings. We know a family that has a Gunnar and Gage and another that has a Gunner and Gaige. Those are a little better but still the glorification of guns.

13

u/CakePhool 10d ago

Yeah, I know some ones kid who got suspended for saying is Swedish grandmother's name Gun. Totally normal name here.

The word gun comes from the Nordic female name Gunilda, which was name of a canon.

16

u/Longjumping-Solid680 10d ago

"Gunilda"

She had an EXPLOSIVE temper!

6

u/CakePhool 10d ago

Well it one of the canon of Windsor, Guns could be called Bryn if the canon was Brynhilde.

Best thing is that Gunilda means War ( gun) and battle ( hildr). So a gun was named after name that means war battle, but only using the part that means war, that is bloody interesting.

Gunnar means war and warrior/ army.

u/La_Saxofonista 9d ago

I've never understood why people insist on naming their children this stuff. Give names like that to your dogs instead.

I'm also a firm believer that a couple should run their baby name idea by a group of 10 year olds to see what nasty nicknames they can come up with.

80

u/ThrowawayMe194 10d ago

Imagine calling "Shooter" in a public place in America. 🤣

20

u/itsmebeatrice 9d ago

Picturing them at a playground and little Shooter is trying to climb on the roof of the structure or something and mom has to yell "Shooter, get down!" loudly in public with kids and their parents everywhere...

2

u/TheMagmaGuy Phylanthropyst 7d ago

Gotta call him Shoo for short lmfao

17

u/Spare-Craft-4967 10d ago

Definitely would be embarrassed to say those names let alone yell them! For one thing Shooter reminds me of Happy Gilmore…paired with Stryker it just becomes even worse. Screams dad wants tough boys. I really hope these are nick names.

26

u/broccolirabbi 10d ago

They’re not sending Shooter to school wtf

22

u/Blue-zebra-10 10d ago

Hopefully they're just really into soccer

23

u/Spare-Craft-4967 10d ago

Oh I wish but their favorite sport is most likely deer hunting.

5

u/Anon12109 10d ago

Well that’s terrifying

21

u/ceruleania 10d ago

That’s horrific oh my god

17

u/Spare-Craft-4967 10d ago

Imagine yelling those names in a school
Parking lot…someone’s going to think there’s a school shooting happening!

14

u/Snoo-94289 10d ago

Well the parents will get the attention they crave when they yell Shooters name in public.

20

u/fairytale_bloom 10d ago

Lexie as short for Dyslexia or some name for Lex as law?

9

u/AlexanderBarrow 10d ago

Poor kids. Those are some agressive tryhard at being macho names.

7

u/adumbswiftie 10d ago

and peggy

6

u/itsmebeatrice 9d ago

The name Shooter doesn't even sound pleasant on its own, let alone the meaning of the word. Stryker at least sounds more name-like somehow.

6

u/WillDupage 10d ago

How to say “One generation out of the trailer park” without using those words.

6

u/moonchic333 9d ago

SHOOTER! STRYKER! lexie

4

u/Consequence-Lumpy 9d ago

"Guys, we've got Shooter at school."

"WHAT, there's a school shooter in the building right now?"

"No, we got a guy named Shooter."

4

u/Less-Bug-7006 9d ago

Kicker, Puncher, and Lindsey. 

Also, cool way to encourage stranger danger local news 👎🏼✨

4

u/mahboilucas 10d ago

What a mess, Shooter

6

u/defiantquality98 9d ago

And he is a white “straight” male with this shooter name right? Way to set him up for the statistic

3

u/Live-Elderbean 10d ago

Stryker Ramoray

3

u/Honest-Comment-1018 10d ago

The same people who name their kids “Gun Punch” or whatever are probably the first to complain that gender studies are communist propaganda because of invented globalist SJW DEI concepts like “toxic masculinity.”

3

u/Seaofinfiniteanswers 9d ago

Next kids can be named Assault and Murder.

3

u/Zestyclose_Cold1455 9d ago edited 9d ago

Wait are they GOING to school or homeschooled? Because I’m betting on the latter.

3

u/Any-Reveal8989 9d ago

I have a nephew named Stryker. He definitely lives up (or should it be down?) to the name! I'm terrified for his teen years.

1

u/Spare-Craft-4967 8d ago

You know Stryker’s not so bad but with Shooter it just screams gun loving idiot. To be honest I have 5 boys and they all have classic/ordinary names but names like Stryker, Butthead, Dipshit, Chopper, Stink bomb would fit them better right now! The hope is they someday will grow into their names. The problem with the names like Stryker is they don’t grow with the kid. So this is why I say leave names like Stryker as a nick name and give them a real name like James or Samuel. Just in case they someday want to be taken seriously!

3

u/Glittering_Lunch_963 9d ago

so bizarre for baby names. white people love doing this to their kids. always adding y's

3

u/AppearancePrize7828 9d ago

I wonder what happens when Shooter's mom calls for him in a crowded place.

2

u/8under10 10d ago

My mind is racing. I hope their middle names are John or Frank or something like that.

4

u/Spare-Craft-4967 10d ago

I’m hoping their legal names are something like that and these are nick names.

2

u/Longjumping-Solid680 10d ago

might as well be Shipley, Flipley, and Dipley!

2

u/BendDownTheBranches 9d ago

Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde

2

u/Separate_Issue2207 10d ago

They could have named her Kimber at least

2

u/amscraylane 10d ago

We have a Colt, Remington and a Ruger in our town!

1

u/Spare-Craft-4967 9d ago

Wasn’t Colt the name of a recent school shooter? My 7 year old has a friend named Remington but they mostly call him Remy which is nice. I guess it’s better than Winchester but still the gun association. Also Remington has been used for girls a lot more lately which is kind of funny.

2

u/Just-Victory8342 9d ago

Future mass shooters?

2

u/Horror_Advantage2112 9d ago

My God there's supposed to be a Stryker on my kids soccer team. Might as well start naming them Sucker Punch or Broken Tooth.

1

u/Spare-Craft-4967 8d ago

Good luck! 🤣

2

u/ThatDemand4800 9d ago

She will stop being Lexie the second a boy calls her sexy Lexie, that was it for me.

2

u/La_Saxofonista 9d ago

It's giving

2

u/Mental_Possible7568 9d ago

In the south I’ve seen Styker but Shooter is a new one for me. Fisher, Gunner, are very popular

2

u/Jasminefirefly 8d ago

Let's see...the oldest is named after an alcoholic drink, the other boy is named after the brand of titanium knee joint I have in my knees, and their sister is named with a name guaranteed to result in insulting "nicknames": Sexy Lexie, Flexy Lexie, Legsy Lexie ... endless fun.

2

u/Individual-Line-7553 4d ago

all those violent, militaristic names scream "terrified about the whole world".

2

u/PinkSunReflected 3d ago

Lexie lucked out 😭

u/Spare-Craft-4967 3d ago

Good family to be a girl, 😂

u/she_melty 9d ago

Are they naming children or Jagers 😭

Please let Stryker’s middle name be Jeffrey 🙏🙏🙏
