The subreddit /r/Tragedeigh is devoted to highlighting the most bizarre and outlandish names that people create for their children. Some are normal names that are deliberately misspelled (e.g. Jaxshuyn), some place unrealistic demands upon a child (e.g. Messiah), and others are fictional characters that do not serve as good role models for children (e.g. Daeneyrs).
The Guardian reports that the Japanese government has banned names that it deems are kirakika, which means shiny or glittery. In English, we could call such names Tragedeighs. Parents must tell government officials how names are pronounced in order to prevent weird pronunciations. Parents with eccentric pronunciations must justify those renderings in writing.
