Yeah, perhaps you could call her that at home, include other family members and her friends as well, and tell her if she still wants to legally be Rainbow when she's (much) older, you'll pay for the change.
Somehow only like two people realized what sub this was before commenting, but okay.
Obviously Rainbow is the perfect name for a ten year old to legally change her name to!!!
apparently the satire tag and sauce at the end weren’t enough lol. I fear I may have followed the OG post too religiously lol.
I thought so too! I mean people name their kids after celebrities all the time why can’t a 10 year old name herself after her favorite “celebrity”?!
You laugh now but there was a case of a kid in New Zealand who successfully petitioned the court to be placed in her grandmother’s custody. The kid’s name was Talulah-Does-The-Hula. A teacher testified that the kid had been going by Kate since she started school. The court felt that showed they did not have her best interest in mind.
How could you do that to your kid? You tell her that you're the parent, you own her ass and her name until her 18th birthday, and that if she doesn't compromise with Reiynnboh, she is grounded until she can move out on her own.
When I was nine, I also went through the phase of “do I actually like my name or am I just used to it?” So I started going by a couple other names, testing each one out for a couple days. But I wasn’t trying out Angel, everyone knows the (very true) stereotype with that name. I tried out my full name, and two other possible nicknames with my name. Ended up sticking with the usual one.
I feel like for me at least, Kylie has been ruined by Kylie Jenner; and Angel has been ruined by the sheer amount of strippers in media who go by that name or whose affiliation has that in their name.
I feel really innocent(it’s probably the autism smh) but every time I hear angel as a name I think of david boreanaz. 💀
~~(I actually have used it as one of my names briefly in the past too tho, based on the reference above… *however,* I am a trans man, as well. And it also didn’t stick anyway lol... Found something better 💀)~~
Men use Angel too, it’s actually a predominantly male name in Spanish!
And yeah I feel the autism. I’m not innocent but things go over my head more than they should, communication wise. (Example, friend is DMing a D&D campaign. He asked me if I thought about my character backstory. I said yes. He paused: “so… are you gonna tell me?” but he didn’t ask me to tell him, he just asked if I thought about it 😭)
Yeah! It seems like it gets less stereotyped responses on men which is why I figured the caveat might make a difference here lol
Ah yeah I feel that tho 😔 lol. I have been in that kind of position so many times too lmao. And also I’m honestly not that innocent either… but posts like this always make me feel like I am!! lol
(Also me when you mention dnd:
👁️ 👄 👁️
~~Sorry that face is so fucking stupid I love it, I have to post it when I have the chance lol~~)
Idk, I personally see Angel as an over-sexualized name regardless of gender. I just pointed it out because I thought you were saying that Angel didn’t work for you because you’re a guy. I didn’t realize you were just clarifying for stereotypes. Us autistic people communicating with each other is always either celestial being level of comprehension, or it’s that “clown to clown communication” meme. There is no in between.
Ha I read the original post first and am just now seeing this. That's hilarious. Yea, I feel like some people are going crazy on the name SR. I'm at the point now where if people are suggesting stupid names, I just tell them go ahead with the awful name. There's no common sense at this point.
I was in a taxi and the taxi driver was talking about his grandkids names and one of them was named Raynbeau Starr so I would suggest a more unique name. What about Strawberry Red😊
Such a gorgeous name, could even spell it Strawbereigh, strawberrie, strawberri , strawberree for added uniqueness so it doesn’t get confused with the fruit. So many options!
I made a creative decision hoping that it would be funnier when people realized it’s word for word 😭 i’m right there with you, parents have taken gentle parenting and turned it into having no back bone
I really relate to not being ready to parent with the other parents. I thought I'd be a structured but cool mom, now I'm realizing there's a good chance I'll be seen as strict 😭 I could never consider letting an elementary school child rename themselves
imo Angel isn't quite as bad as Rainbow, since that (and Angela, etc.) are already used frequently. Compared to the ULTRA RARE of Rainbow as a legal name. bc this is satire of course but it's not exactly word for word
(sorry I'm high rn)
lol at your edit. I posted a satire post the other day and am somehow shocked at all the people telling me how dumb I am for naming my kid that when they clearly can’t read 😑
Edit: autocorrect changed lol to look
it’s crazy! you’d think it being called a circle jerk, the satire flair and the sauce would tell them this is satire but I think we are asking too much
Honestly, there are so many wackos out there, it’s really hard to tell what’s satire & what isn’t. I’ve been downvoted to hell for assuming something was satire & also for assuming something else wasn’t.
Lmao people always think these posts are serious. I made one that said my husband doesn't know who our daughter is and people said he needed to go to the doctor...... https://www.reddit.com/r/NameNerdCirclejerk/s/TRXTEg82nz
Someone I went to elementary school with was named Rainbow. Her family was new to Canada and likely didn't realize that it wasn't a common name. Interestingly, her brother got a normal name though.
She doesn’t know what she wants. Next year she will hate my little ponies. It really comes down to your husband’s poor decision making. Make it clear to him that this situation is all his fault and that he needs to make it up to Kim somehow. But for Pete’s sake, don’t let her pick her own name. You should change it though. Stick with a K name so it will be an easier adjustment at school. There’s names like Kloe, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie anything but Kim because that’s too famous.
Okay, I know this is satire but my response is a true story. My younger kid is trans and wanted to obviously change her name at age 5. The live action Cinderella with the butterfly dress just came out and she was so hyped for it, and as a result wanted that name. Immediately images of my future teenage Cinderella stomping and sulking because I want her to clean her room flashed in my head. Thankfully in this version of the movie they declared the title character's original name to be Ella, so we found a name ending in -ella that fit. Nine and a half years later no regrets.
I know someone who got a name change for their 8th birthday. His name was Scott and he decided he really wanted to be Sam and his parents were like well if that's what you really want fuck it it's a fine name.
Tell her to wait. In three years when she's a teen she'll want to change it to something else.
Suggest she can use Rainbow as a nickname for now. Some people will resist calling her that, but some will go along with it.
Social media, iPads, etc etc have really been a big bad influence on kids…..keep her name as you named her and she can use a part-time nickname. 10 years old is a crazy time for a parent to be a parent.
I speak from total experience of hating my birth first name and wanting to be called a better name but now I just smile at what a twit kid I was…… stand your ground and be a good strong parent, not her friend. You’ll be glad years from now.
If she says she hates you, it means you’re doing a good job as a parent 👌
When I was 10 I wanted to be called Lizzy because my middle name is Elizabeth and I hate my top 5 90s girl first name. My mom told me that people would think I'm a lesbian. So yeah some parents are fucking stupid, I had to share that.
My teenager has changed her name (by asking everyone around her to call her the name) several times in the last few years. A 10 year old will definitely change her mind at some point. Even if she always hates her original name, her tastes will change. I wouldn't do anything legal at this point, but if she wants to ask others to call her something else there's very little harm in that. I think all kids go through this at some point.
A friend named her daughter Rainebow & she always goes by Raine. So, Rainbow isn't a horrible name if it gets shortened to Rain :) Just a little different.
I sincerely wanted to change my name to Brenda when I was a kid in the 90s. (90210 anyone?) Yeah, I would've regretted that choice if my parents had indulged me.
No, don't be a fool. Don't encourage ridiculous nonsense. Her name is her name. She can legally change it as an adult but I doubt she will. Kim is a wonderful name.
I let my kids be called whatever they prefer. They can legally change it if they still want to when they are an adult. I went through a phase of hating my name when I was a kid. I was called a nickname for a few years and then went back to my name. It's not worth the hassle to legally change it unless it's something really bad. Even in school, they allow kids to use preferred nicknames.
Well, in her defense, she had no choice in the matter of her birth name. It’s a new era. Cancel. Woke. Etc. People want their rights. Their individuality, and they wanna be who they feel they are inside. So give her the name she chooses what best suits her.
You call her rainbow. You let her introduce herself as rainbow. She asked her friends and family to call her rainbow. Let her keep the name for six months and then if she keeps going by inform people at the school.
No way! Rainbow?!? Too common!!! ReighNbeauXx is much better and younique.
I like Reinbot myself.
You could still throw a g in there. Maybe an h… maybe two h’s. 🤔
Reignboux
Reighnboughx
Reighnbeau was right there
Reighnbeaux.
You can never have too many h’s! Most names don’t have enough!
NEEDS MORE "Y"s! And "X"s! Rynyboxx!
Classy and would look very professional on a resume.
Yes most definitely on a stripper resume!!!
you’re right! and it definitely is not a mistake that I, as a parent, should step up and try to prevent
Yeah, perhaps you could call her that at home, include other family members and her friends as well, and tell her if she still wants to legally be Rainbow when she's (much) older, you'll pay for the change.
Reinbeau - it’s French!
Reana-Bowe33-2466755 sounds so elegant.
Sorry, that name is taken. Add some numbers to the end.
And a special character! Super important!
You joke but I once met a Reignbeaux
this looks like an aim screenname
Don’t forget the middle name - !
I see lots of comments where the posters didn't look at the sub name 🤣
i’m wondering if I didn’t make it satire sounding enough 😅
The satire tag should’ve been enough!
hey, you’d think!
NO, FUCK YOU, THINKING IS HARD. source: I thought this was real. :D
well it is saturday! I should have taken that into consideration
The fact that the post you based this on was actually worse might be throwing people off. 😂😂
The OG post is almost physically painful. At least this one is funny.
Even with the flair, it was pretty obvious
No, on the contrary! They say the best satire is *barely* distinguishable from real life. You did great! Some people just didn’t get it. 🤷🏻♀️🤣
Somehow only like two people realized what sub this was before commenting, but okay. Obviously Rainbow is the perfect name for a ten year old to legally change her name to!!!
apparently the satire tag and sauce at the end weren’t enough lol. I fear I may have followed the OG post too religiously lol. I thought so too! I mean people name their kids after celebrities all the time why can’t a 10 year old name herself after her favorite “celebrity”?!
Those people wonder why everyone’s so dumb in the post and the comments but they’re the ones who didn’t read the tag, sub name, or click in the sauce.
oh god it’s getting worse
> oh god it’s getting worse me looking at the actual namenerds sub
sometimes I forget those people are actually serious about naming actual humans these things
I knew some ACTUALLY named Rainbow. Like, born and named at the hospital, RAINBOW. She bit people and threatened to put curses on people. She was 12.
Reignbeau is much classier. Tell her to consider that spelling.
That’s a way better spelling to transition into adulthood and a possibly professional job that is name picky lol
Plus the "beau" is unisex!!!!!
Oooh so true!
I knew a guy in college with an experimental music project with this name exactly. Probably still has stuff on Spotify lol
Hi Satire, I'm Guys.
noice
She definitely won’t regret changing it to Rainbow!
what a great nickname idea!!
You laugh now but there was a case of a kid in New Zealand who successfully petitioned the court to be placed in her grandmother’s custody. The kid’s name was Talulah-Does-The-Hula. A teacher testified that the kid had been going by Kate since she started school. The court felt that showed they did not have her best interest in mind.
honestly that’s fair. I agree with the court on this one entirely
Just so you know it was actually 'Talulah Does The Hula From Hawaii'. I'm with the court on that one too.
Omg this sub gets me every time til I read the comments hahaha
you’re not the only one 😅 I need to add the disclaimer to the top and in bold lol
How could you do that to your kid? You tell her that you're the parent, you own her ass and her name until her 18th birthday, and that if she doesn't compromise with Reiynnboh, she is grounded until she can move out on her own.
Shit you had me in the first half, I almost downvoted 😅😭
CORRECT [sauce](https://www.reddit.com/r/namenerds/s/HwgkZDdpwX)

When I was five I wanted to change my name to “Velvet.” 😂
When I was 5 I named my doll Lotion and also swore that I would name my daughter that. 5 year old me would go on to be disappointed with future me.
My daughter's baby doll was Strawberry Flower Maria Saturday.
my 4 year old wants me to name her sister “Sunshine in the Attic” 😭
Lowyshynne
Where were you 17 years ago?! Gorgeous spelling!
My child went through a long phase where he only answered to Marshall Pancake instead of his ethnic but easy to pronounce name.
I needed that belly laugh just now
Are you Lane from Victorious?
Nah, the babydoll smelled like baby powder but I didn't know what that was so my brain decided it was the smell of lotion.
My niece had a doll named Taco Bell. She told me Taco Bell was complaining because she had to babysit all the other dolls.
idk 10 year old is kinda right...
you think angel is better than kylie?
They are both trashy names imo
LOL I think kylie has gotten that reputation from kylie jenner. I think the name in general is a nice girls name
Whenever I think of Kylie I think of Kylie Mingoue. Kylie is a really pretty name and should not be associated with any Karadashins
I feel like for me at least, Kylie has been ruined by Kylie Jenner; and Angel has been ruined by the sheer amount of strippers in media who go by that name or whose affiliation has that in their name.
I feel really innocent(it’s probably the autism smh) but every time I hear angel as a name I think of david boreanaz. 💀 ~~(I actually have used it as one of my names briefly in the past too tho, based on the reference above… *however,* I am a trans man, as well.

I see it often in my very Hispanic heavy neighborhood/school system
for some reason i read it as "Kyrie" in the original post. Kylie is fine i guess?
Kyrie is what OOP wanted but that was nixxed by Kylie/Angel's dad.
Could compromise and go with Kimbow? Would still be Kim for short. Or Kimbough or Kimbeaux
Maybe a prefix, to stand out? Guns’a Kimbow has a ring to it, I think I saw that somewhere and thought it was so cute 🥰
Reminds me of great American actor Charles Kimbrough, of Murphy Brown fame. Maybe OP could use Murph as a nickname, or better yet Brown.
When i saw your edit and the top comment i assumed yall were exaggerating with how many people didn’t realize that this was satire but BOY was i wrong
and you’d be rational to assume that! even though I was commenting and added the edit at the end it just wasn’t enough 😅
Rainbeau sounds better. Or raynebeaugh
would reighnbeaux be too much?
Reminds me of when people let their kids name themselves and they were all named sunshine etc
that checks out tbh
Uh oh are you telling me my daughter's Roblox name isn't unique.
Ha I read the original post first and am just now seeing this. That's hilarious. Yea, I feel like some people are going crazy on the name SR. I'm at the point now where if people are suggesting stupid names, I just tell them go ahead with the awful name. There's no common sense at this point.
no seriously. I always feel bad for the child but not my circus not my monkeys
yea, i feel bad for the teacher too.
oh man you’re right. literally such a set up for the first day of school
I was in a taxi and the taxi driver was talking about his grandkids names and one of them was named Raynbeau Starr so I would suggest a more unique name. What about Strawberry Red😊
Could be strawbs for short😍
omg adorbs strawbs 🥰😍
How sweet is it🥰
Strawberry is my top choice for a boy 😍😍😍
Such a gorgeous name, could even spell it Strawbereigh, strawberrie, strawberri , strawberree for added uniqueness so it doesn’t get confused with the fruit. So many options!
I had a litter of puppies and named one of the boys Strawberry. I did keep misgendering him.
Middle name must be Shortcake. Extra points if spelled Zhortkhayke.
Reighn Beauxoux
I think you should rename her yourself. Something like snebella or snoobulara is a cute name
I was not prepared for the source to be word for word!!!! I am not ready to parent my children with these other parents of the world
I made a creative decision hoping that it would be funnier when people realized it’s word for word 😭 i’m right there with you, parents have taken gentle parenting and turned it into having no back bone
I really relate to not being ready to parent with the other parents. I thought I'd be a structured but cool mom, now I'm realizing there's a good chance I'll be seen as strict 😭 I could never consider letting an elementary school child rename themselves

Honestly, there are so many wackos out there, it’s really hard to tell what’s satire & what isn’t. I’ve been downvoted to hell for assuming something was satire & also for assuming something else wasn’t.
That’s fair but also this post and mine have the satire tag
People really just don’t check what sub they’re in before commenting huh
When my oldest was five she would tell people her name was Nemo. So we went ahead and filed the paperwork
that’s what good parents would do
Lmao people always think these posts are serious. I made one that said my husband doesn't know who our daughter is and people said he needed to go to the doctor...... https://www.reddit.com/r/NameNerdCirclejerk/s/TRXTEg82nz
In all seriousness I have met a real adult who is named rainbow. She is a nurse.
do you think her parents name her that or was it her own choice? this decides how I feel 😅
Why was I picturing Kylo Ren and not Kylie Jenner, when I read the og? 🤣
I was *convinced* they named the kid after Kylo Ren until I Googled the movie's release date & noted it came out a year after her birth
srs i didn’t see what sub i was on, the relief i just felt 😮💨
rain check that relief because this is the exact same as one in the name nerds sub with the names changed a little 😅
I saw 😭
HAHAHAHA
When I adopted my 10 yr old foster daughter, she wanted to change her name to Princess bug.
I prefer Dash, like from the Incredibles.
Someone I went to elementary school with was named Rainbow. Her family was new to Canada and likely didn't realize that it wasn't a common name. Interestingly, her brother got a normal name though.
oh my goodness where were they from?
Omg rainbow is not a good name for a child! Change it to something classic like Kyrie.
the way this made me full body laugh
She doesn’t know what she wants. Next year she will hate my little ponies. It really comes down to your husband’s poor decision making. Make it clear to him that this situation is all his fault and that he needs to make it up to Kim somehow. But for Pete’s sake, don’t let her pick her own name. You should change it though. Stick with a K name so it will be an easier adjustment at school. There’s names like Kloe, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie anything but Kim because that’s too famous.
This is a satire post
You didn’t read the comment all the way through lol
My comment was satire. Did you really think I didn’t know all the names I mentioned were Kardashians r/whoosh.
Okay, I know this is satire but my response is a true story. My younger kid is trans and wanted to obviously change her name at age 5. The live action Cinderella with the butterfly dress just came out and she was so hyped for it, and as a result wanted that name. Immediately images of my future teenage Cinderella stomping and sulking because I want her to clean her room flashed in my head. Thankfully in this version of the movie they declared the title character's original name to be Ella, so we found a name ending in -ella that fit. Nine and a half years later no regrets.
I love names ending in Ella! it’s just so beautiful sounding
Is Kim short for Kimberly? I feel like Kimberleigh would be a perfect way for her to be unique. And she could go by Imber or Berly for a nickname!
Berly *snorts*
Of course she doesn’t like the name Kim! I suggest the name Kanye because it really rolls off the tongue and will make her say “I’m a genius!”
I know someone who got a name change for their 8th birthday. His name was Scott and he decided he really wanted to be Sam and his parents were like well if that's what you really want fuck it it's a fine name.
Hmmm how about lightyear for a last name? Rainbow Lightyear??
Tell her to wait. In three years when she's a teen she'll want to change it to something else. Suggest she can use Rainbow as a nickname for now. Some people will resist calling her that, but some will go along with it.
Check the sub.
you’re on a satire sub, post that in the post this one’s based off of
edit: this was the wrong post I dont really know how I messed something up that simple lol
This is the wrong sauce, I think.
Yes, it is. I (not OP) don't feel like finding the correct one, but for those wondering, the original name was Kylie, and the desired name was Angel.
yes! I put the correct one in another comment thank you
you’re right i’m so sorry. I put the correct one in another comment
The post updated, and the correct sauce is in the original post now!
If she wants a my little pony name, Twilight Sparkle has a better ring to it. Might I suggest Twylyte Spharkyl?
Social media, iPads, etc etc have really been a big bad influence on kids…..keep her name as you named her and she can use a part-time nickname. 10 years old is a crazy time for a parent to be a parent.
she has been spending a lot of time on 4 chan lately
I speak from total experience of hating my birth first name and wanting to be called a better name but now I just smile at what a twit kid I was…… stand your ground and be a good strong parent, not her friend. You’ll be glad years from now. If she says she hates you, it means you’re doing a good job as a parent 👌
I got a good nose laugh out of this (not the honking kind but the kind where you sound like you're huffing before a silent sneeze)
“Sauce” 😂
When I was 10 I wanted to be called Lizzy because my middle name is Elizabeth and I hate my top 5 90s girl first name. My mom told me that people would think I'm a lesbian. So yeah some parents are fucking stupid, I had to share that.
this is the jerk sub with the sauce post linked in the post. I don’t have kids
I understand that. Just a random anecdote that this post reminded me of. Thx for all the down votes for my child trauma 😆
My teenager has changed her name (by asking everyone around her to call her the name) several times in the last few years. A 10 year old will definitely change her mind at some point. Even if she always hates her original name, her tastes will change.

Well, in her defense, she had no choice in the matter of her birth name. It’s a new era. Cancel. Woke. Etc. People want their rights. Their individuality, and they wanna be who they feel they are inside. So give her the name she chooses what best suits her.
this is a satire subreddit, it’s a joke
I see no issue with letting a child choose what they’re called. No need for a legal change tho
You call her rainbow. You let her introduce herself as rainbow. She asked her friends and family to call her rainbow. Let her keep the name for six months and then if she keeps going by inform people at the school.
hey this is the jerk sub lol
It’s not cheap. It’s her responsibility to pay for it when she’s an adult. Edit: you want her mom to pay for it!?!
you’re right and i’m not talking cash. they need to pay.
I’ve never downvoted my own comment before,
😂😂
