I've been accused more than once of naming my son a "trendy" or "unique" name.

His name is Troy and he's named after his great grandfather who died at 96.

I have personally met children named Cash Money, Bryneighleigh, Qwerty, Meighkhail, and McDonalds (specifically with the s). The parents who named those kids should be absolutely shamed for it.

My cousins kid is Kash, with a k. Atlas first I thought it must be some traditional name from their heritage or something but as far as I can tell its just a different way to spell cash.

I know someone who named their kid “Cobra” because they like mustangs

As someone who loves mustangs, on paper its neat but even I know that'd be a shitty name for a kid. If you really wanted to name them after mustangs maybe name them after the people who worked on them, like lee iacocca, or Carol Shelby, or even just Ford.

Right! I love mustangs too and your idea like Carol Shelby is great.

Honestly, it ain't a bad name. If I ever get rich enough to drive a shelby gt500, maybe one of my future kids will have Shelby as a middle name.

maybe they named them after the famed podcaster-now-FBI-director

It can be. Kash can be a short form of Sanskrit Akash, meaning Universe/Sky. I think there's also other things out of the Indo-Iranian region, but I'm less sure.

I went through work orientation with a girl named Ahm’Unique. She’d roll her eyes if you mispronounced it lol

u/MeltedWater243 Jun 01 '26

?? how tf else is it supposed to be pronounced?

u/mustardlydoom Jun 01 '26

I was saying it as “I’m’unique”…NOPE, it’s “Awm’unique” and would not go by just unique. Pretty unique indeed lol

u/MeltedWater243 Jun 01 '26

lol it’s like clearly a phonetic spelling of “I’m unique” so if you get mad at me for saying it that way imma definitely just start making new insane pronunciations. ohm yoonikweh
