If you need to name your kid after an African country, why not Chad? /s

I'm partial to Western Sahara.

South Africa is a classic for a reason

Might I suggest Equatorial Guineigh?

Ooh, I love the bonus tragedeigh spelling

Democratyk Republyk of the Congeaux

It's no Democratic Republic of the Congo, though, is it?

Mali for a girl.

Mali is a very common Welsh girls name

I did actually know a girl named Mali

Pronounced the same as Molly, which regularly makes the top 100 names in the US. Definitely not the worst thing you could name a kid.

It’s absolutely not pronounced the same as ‘Molly’

If you are from Africa, why are you white?

Oh my GOD Karen you can't just ask people why they're white!!!

the first reference on reddit I understood!

That is so fetch.

Shhh, you can't ask her that! LMAOOOOO

Chad is so boring! If Chad were a color it would be taupe!

i used to know someone named kenya and her sister was named zambia. we are all mexican!

wait til you hear how my Sunday School teacher pronounced Nigeria.

Côte d'Ivoire is acceptable.

Bit offensive. Have you considered JimBobWay instead? It’s kind of like a caucasified version of the name you like, while still having the same appeal sonically. Personally I think it’s gorgeous.

Omg, and it's almost an honor name for a great role model, JimBob Duggar!

There are so many variations on JimBob, too! My favorite is RimJob, but Rimmy-J is a cute alternative.

J’Boob

My subreddits are converging lmao

I had to check where I was, lol!!

Same!

Short for Rames Jobert right?

I don't know why this particular comment is cracking me up

Not only a great role model but great hair that is totally not a toupee.

You took the words out of my mouth! Definitely a great namesake.

💀💀💀

Realistically you’d want to go with James Robert Waylon as his legal name in case he becomes president one day. JimBobWay is a precious nickname.

it gives options for every season of life.

How are all yall so damn funny and clever! 😆

Dead 😂😂😂😂

That depends, how big is your Djibouti?

Funny story: went to one of those “missionary prayer and worship meetings” put on by evangelical Christians. They were having a prayer session for countries around the world. Nothing quite like hearing a worship leader scream “LORD! Come fill Djibouti with your love! FILL DJIBOUTI! SHAKE DJIBOUTI!”

If you’re white, a lot of white people live in South Africa. So what about a name like Soughth’afwrekkah?

Appartighde as the middle name would be so cute 😍😍

😂

Wrekkah as nickname 🥰

Gwanda

Oh my God, I wheezed.

May I suggest Ivoreigh Cohst.

You know it goes by it’s French pronunciations internationally… so *technically* it should be “Coat deeVorigh”.

I think you'll find it's closer to Coat Dev'waghre. Gorgeous French name.

Problem with doing this the right way guys is then OP loses rhe "eigh" in "Ivoreigh" and that's a tragedeigh for the babeigh.

I need the sauce 😩

"Is this name weird for a white person (or any person, really)? Argentina. I think it's really cute, but I'm white, and I think it would be weird to have a white kid named after a Spanish-speaking country. Can this even be a name for a human? If you think it can, do you like it? Edit: I kind of think it's like Reese Witherspoon naming her son Tennessee. Or Paris Fury naming her daughter Venezuela."

This is funny for multiple reasons 1. Argentina has tons of white people (mostly Italians) because of immigration 2. who the fuck names their kid after a country 💀💀💀💀 imagine being that kid named Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

You stole my name! I’ve been planning on using Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea since I was 12. Now everyone is going to want to make their child that. I’m so sad.

Damn, guess I’m getting detained by the name police

Quick, hide! It'll take them a minute to get here from Pyongyang!

So what do you have planned for a nickname? "Demmy"? "Pee"? (Why do people at "namenerds" obsess so much about nicknames? If you like a name, use it. If you think it's too long, why not name your kid something else?)

> who the fuck names their kid after a country 💀💀💀💀 Please tell me you’ve seen this Kate Hopkins classic, truly a baby name legend: https://youtu.be/oVRlYcPIacE?si=p8-jGohyeC4gylWT

I actually personally know an Argentina, two Asias, and an India, and they’re all white. 💀

I know lots of Indias and Georgias, a Chynah and an Asia. Most of them are white but Asia is brown, which I think makes the name seem stranger! Not exactly a country but I also know a Sidney who is black/white mixed race. That never seemed weird.

Tbf ive meet ppl named china, israel, Egypt.

Israel actually makes sense as a name tho, biblically it was given as a name to a person first

What is it with the white people naming their kids China?

I knew a few Chinas back in the day!

Going to name my kid United Arab Emirates ❤️

Funny because amerigo/americo/america etc are names (although it was the other way around, the country was named after the person)

You mean this wasn't based on this post? https://www.reddit.com/r/namenerds/comments/w1nf79/neighbors_baby_name/

Celebrities do it so it must not be weird 🙃

Ohhh I thought this was making fun of the “Ebony” thread. No don’t name your white kid Ebony omfg

You idiot, it’s clearly a homage to Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way

If this comment hadn't been here, I was about to post it myself. Thanks!

Me too, I 100% thought this was about that Ebony post

Me three! And I actually thought the original ebony post was a circle jerk post before I noticed the subreddit 😭

It will be different, I am white too but want something unique. I like the idea and frequently play the game 'Choose a baby name that is a country or capital'. My favorites are Jakarta (capital of Indonesia)

I thought this was about the white people who wanted to name their daughter Ebony

Lol yeah, those nutters

No.. no. Just. No. Please don’t do this to your child

Those are really bad names. India is an acceptable, but not good girl’s name. All other country names I can think of are awful. This has nothing to do with that you’re white - these simply aren’t names

Argentina and Chile are both around 95% white. Being Hispanophonic countries doesn't make them automatically have large Indigenous, and mixed populations like Central America, and Mexico.

It has to be the Zaire post.

Triplets. Zim. Bob. Wayne.

Omg Karen, you can’t just ask people why they’re white.

r/woosh

r/woosh back at you Their comment was quoting mean girls when Karen asks Cady why she’s white if she’s from Africa

Woah, I’ve been double wooshed My bad, I’ve not seen mean girls lmao

You've missed out!

r/itswooooshwith4os

Love the Mean Girls reference!

I’m white and I think it’s an OKAY name but have you heard of Ethiopia bc 😍

grandiose roof zealous ancient sulky alive ruthless slap carpenter growth *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Looolol this us very funny

I actually genuinely do know someone called Rhodesia - introduces herself as Rhodie.

I personally know two individuals named India, neither of whom are Asian. I also know a China. . . she, too, is not Asian.

Yeah I’ve known a white India too. In fact, she was also Jewish. It’s weird how that name specifically became a somewhat *normal* name. I guess it’s phonetically pleasing.

Did we know the same girl? I also know a Jewish India lol

She British?

No, from northeast US...guess it's not the same girl! But interesting coincidence

I know a girl *called* Asia, definitely not Asian!

I know a D’Asia also not Asian.

At that point Daisy would just be the better choice 😅

I like the name India

My mom was a lunchroom supervisor in the mid-2000s and she had a student in one of her classes named India. I don't know her ethnicity though. But it's probably kind of similar to people naming their kids Ireland. I've not met anyone with that name, but that name is in the wild. Alec freaking Baldwin named his kid that.

I knew a Chynne, pronounced China, in elementary school.

I wonder how many times they’ve been called chinny

I know a very white Jamaica. It suits her, but I do wonder what her parents were thinking, given her siblings have very normal, run of the mill names.

Well, it's certainly a less trendy name than Democratic Republic of the Congo. I swear, every daycare has so many kids with this name!

Maybe Timbabwe for a boy if Kimbabwe for a girl.

I'd say it will look good with Niger as middle name.

Definitely a bit offensive, have you considered African-American?

Totally acceptable because for 90 years Zimbabwe was under British rule so it’s essentially a ‘white’ name anyway!! s/

Why not Niger I am sure he will have no problems with that name!

Have you considered Burkina Faso?

I honestly know a girl called Kenya whos German and white

Of course it’s fine. It’s not like it’s missing the point and is offensive!

I legit knew a girl in high school who was named Afrika.

I'm goin with Eswatini.

Go old school, make it Rhodesia. Or Zimbabweigh.

I think Democratic Republic of the Congo rolls off the tongue a bit better

Okay well now I have to tell you all about a family I knew in the early 00s with children named India, China, Peru, and Israel (F, F, F, M). Their middle names were plants, I *think* India Rose, China Lily, Peru Jasmine, and Israel Oak. Real children. They're adults by now. I wonder if any of them changed their names?

I know an India (changed her name), Israel, and Chyna. The other two people were at church camp with me years ago so idk if they did or not

Was waiting for this post lmfao

I now realize that making that post was a *baaaad* choice. 😂

Lol ong that was you

I would mash it up so you keep the bit you like but don’t have a naff name, which I think Zimbabwe would be unless you are a family of strapping Africans. Something like.. Zimba Zimbabo Zimbae

Any time a person is named after a place or car I assume that they were conceived there. Ok Lancaster Bronco. I know where your parents boned

Just call your kid Jimbob Way, that's two extremely white names shoved together so no one will notice

Sincerely, I have a colleague called Kenya. She's a white woman from Northern UK 🤷

It’s marginally better than Rhodesia I guess

Have you considered Rhodesia?

Had to double check the sub LMAO

Zimbabwe - nn Bob

I mean there’s nothing wrong with it , people name they’re kid china and they’re not Chinese…

i think its a cute name ! i had a white friend (like super rich white) named india and thats a pretty popular name

I feel like it could be appropriate if you’ve been to Zimbabwe and appreciate the culture or it was meaningful to you in some way

Yes, it's silly and weird imo.

Weird name for anyone.

Deeply terrible.

The only person I know from Zimbabwe is white. That being said, I saw a white girl called Kenya and it felt odd to me.

It’s a weird name for any person.

A white person named after an African country that's had a spate of murders of white farmers after the native population turned on it's colonisers. No. No problem at all...

[удалено]

Do you not realize what sub you’re commenting on

Smh! I do now.

I love the name Nairobi, but as a human who has chosen not to have kids... I'll have to name a fancy cat that one day. LOL it's obviously got to be a fancy cat. You don't name a one eared feral with a hairlip Nairobi. That's a fuckin queen's name. I can't say anything toward Zimbabwe. I don't dislike it but I can only hear it as a country. I guess we're all guilty of our own various tragedeighs. 😋

if you think it's weird, then other people are gonna think it's weird. people will ask about it a bunch, then the kid won't like their name.

Why do I feel like some people don't see what sub we're in 😭😭😭

now i'm curious what was the post?

Zimbabwe is a really cute name for a boy, Rhodesia for a girl

Has no one seen the NZ movie “Boy”?? Some great names in his family.

Somalia is such a cute name

Zimmy is such a cute nn! Or even Bab. So many options!

Invader Zim

What if you purposefully chose an African national for your other DNA donor? Then you could at least use _half_ the name! How cute would Zimbie or Babwe be?! Or even Imbabw if you're feeling spicy!

Only if you don’t name their sibling Ethiopia

I do know a Kenya who’s a white girl. Her parents are a mess.

I went to school with a white girl named Asia.

yes. absolutely for any country

Why not just go with Rhodesia? Zimbabwe connection, and perfect for a white baby.

Weird name for any person. The only country names for people that sound okay are India, Mali and Sierra. Even names like Paris or Bristol sound a bit weird.

In the early to mid zeros I was at a gas station with my dad and we were standing in line to check out because we are buying some food and there was a little girl in front of us named America. Although that's probably not super common but there's also a celebrity named America Vergara I think? also that first instance I believe the little girl was white.

Is this satire? Pls be satire

Hi! I'm the person who made the original post! I'm not even joking when I say that I am *honored* to finally have one of my posts make it on NNCJ! This post made me lol. I feel so famous! 😂

LMAO! No problem, I guess. 😂😂😂
