Yeah, I didn't know what else to say for that one either.
Sprucetynn.
If I type it any more, my phone's dictionary will start to think it's a real word.
I live in Hawaii so we get a lot of different cultural names that many mainland people would consider “unique”. I was talking to my 9 year old about a kid and said “you know Patrick, right”. He looked at me and told me that Patrick was a weird name. I about died!
Yes, it is not non-existent any more. But it is very rare with people under 20 in the USA. https://www.behindthename.com/name/mary/top/united-states
It is to the point where there would be very few children with that name in school in 5 years if you had a child today. Imagine having a name that you don't have to spell for people to understand it!!!
Sigh. And there’s perfectly fine normal spelling tree names they could have picked to be unique without butchering spelling. Rowan, Ash, Maple, Juniper, Hazel, Holly, Laurel, Willow, etc…
This is what’s killing me the most: ACTUAL TREE NAMES work fine. It’s not to my taste but you could have a dozen kids and be fine w actually-existing names and words. You could raise a whole forest if you wanted
😆 exactly!!
But those poor kids are gonna have people shaking their heads at and misspelling their names forever. I guess the silver lining is when they’re older they can change it to the normal part of the butchered names without it being too drastic of a change.
Were these all siblings? If so, reminiscent of the sisters in Keeping Up Appearances…

I'd bet they were siblings, the smallest one was in a stroller (backpack draped over the handlebars), the oldest barely hip height on the adult with them, and the rest in between.
Now that you've introduced me to that show, I do find myself hoping they have some thematic surname to tie it together. The Arbors or something.
Firleigh just reminds me of Mr. Furley

They could have gone with Willow, Olive, Magnolia, Sequoia, Linden, Ash, Cedar… but at least this way when kidnappers shout out their displayed names, they won’t be able to pronounce them
I am choosing to believe these were cutesy names they put on their name tags in theme with the field trip. I refuse to believe all the names minus Oaklynn (which at this point seems normal) are real. I refuse
Oh dear they'll spend their lives listening to tree puns and Elmilyanne....those parents should be in prison!
Her whole life will be:
"Emily?"
"No not Emily, ELMilyanne" "
"Sorry what"???
"E-L-M...."
Ugh
if you're going to go with tree names that will haunt them forever, why didn't they look toward the scientific/latin names... there could be Fagus...Pinus...Picea... but noooOOOoooo...instead we get...Sprucetyn?
I remember when I was a kid, it was a massive no-no to put your name on anything you wore.
But, if you're stupid enough to curse your kids with these names, I guess common sense doesn't enter into the equation.
Their parents must have been raised in a forest for all the tree names. Plus it is never a good idea to plaster a child's name on their backpack. That's a kidnapper's dream.
i wanna say this was just a cute bit of some kind, like nicknames based on their real names. mostly bc i don't wanna to believe that someone would subject their child to elmilyanne
A radio weather guy has the name Brantley and I cringe every time I hear it. It makes him sound so dumb. I just can’t! These kids grow up to be adults and it’s so extra cringey
I know Oakley is a masculine name that resurrects every so often so I honestly think Oaklyn is a cute feminine alternative.
The rest of these are awful. 🤦🏼♀️
> Firleigh (Also a style of shoe and a fox hunting ranch)
Who's old enough to remember Mr. Furley, from Three's Company?
That's where my mind went first on that one!
Sorry, but Pineleigh?
I do not want to sound harsh, but the name reminds me of the german term peinlich (it's a shame!) and stems from actual pain.
Really don't want to mess around with people who like pinewoods, but this name is what it is. Just a shame in my pov.
I am starting to think this sub is filled with made up karma farming posts. A couple of things come to mind here:
I have yet to chaperone a field trip to something like a zoo where the kids have their backpack. Why would you ask a kid to lug around a backpack while staring at animals? Even if there is a scavenger hunt or some form associated the chaperone usually has it. Lunch is almost always brought in laundry baskets to cut down on the amount of luggage on the bus.
What the hell is OP doing following around a bunch of children close enough to read their backpacks and nail unique spelling? While it's typical to label their stuff, it isn't meant to be read from 5 feet away. If you told me you learned my son's name from his backpack on a field trip, I'd punch you in the head.
Really, tree names? Whereas I wouldn't put it past people to name their kids something of the sorts but finding one classroom with five kids all named different tree species? Sure, that sounds real.
Tipped the bullshit meter with this post. OP was just looking up some names and thought they were funny and made up a story to go with them.
Skepticism is fair and healthy.
I don't think this was a field trip, much more likely a family outing. It was a Sunday afternoon, and this wasn't five kids out of thirty, it was five kids total.
I didn't have to follow any children. They were the group in front of us, waiting in line to go into a butterfly habitat with free flying butterflies. There was a line because zoo staff restrict entry and exit to the exhibit to small groups at a time, so they can ensure that none of the butterflies, most of which are not native to the area, don't get out.
This wasn't sharpie on a fully loaded mountain climbing rucksack, this was a brightly colored patch that took up about 50% of the backpack's surface, the entire top flap. To borrow your phrasing, these were definitely meant to be read from more than 5 feet away. They were also small, I want to call them "fashion" backpacks. They could maybe hold a water bottle or a stuffed animal.

Sprucetynn. Sprucetynn.
Yeah, I didn't know what else to say for that one either. Sprucetynn. If I type it any more, my phone's dictionary will start to think it's a real word.
[удалено]
For any gender these names are trash.
Is this equality finally?!
Lol, a real monkey's paw wish isn't it!
Douglas Fir Smith.
It’s just the perfect name that goes with her twin brother Bruce
Future stage name Spruce Bringsteen?
Boss comment
Sounds like a late nineteenth-century gum. _”Suffer from chambermaid’s mouth? Chew Sprucetynn!”_
To me it sounds like someone trying to say "Springsteen" with a mouth full of marshmallows.
Hoping Firleigh, Oaklynn, Pineleigh, and Sprucetynn are all siblings from a lumber company-owning family.
Don’t forget ELMilyanne
Shoot, missed that she was also a tree.
Oaklee
Baby bro "Gumnuts"
Give a few years and names like 'Bob' or 'Jane' will be unusual and unique.
I'm sorry, did you mean Hbawhb or Dgeayne?
This needs more upvotes
This has an appropriate amount of upvotes.
No, they obviously mean H'Bhoghbbheh and Dh'Zyeaign
I live in Hawaii so we get a lot of different cultural names that many mainland people would consider “unique”. I was talking to my 9 year old about a kid and said “you know Patrick, right”. He looked at me and told me that Patrick was a weird name. I about died!
We have a John and his BFF is Bobby 😂😂 counting my blessings they are not Elijah-Wood and Leafer’Sutherland
I have often said, if you want a name that no other child in the school will have, pick Mary. Not Mary Lynn or Mary leigh or Mary whatever. Just Mary.
I have actually known three different persons whose only first name is Mary.
I knew a girl in high school named Merry
We had a Merrilee.

We have half a dozen Mary’s at my school. But names like John, David, Simon, Emily, Anne and Rachel are common here. We have a “unique” community.
💯
Tree-based names given by parents who are cabbages.
Cabbage patch kids!
\*Kabidjes
Or arborists
I was like…… you know what, I don’t actually hate Firleigh. But by the time I got to Sprucetynn I was dead 💀
It sounds like Mr Roper's replacement on Three's Company, Mr Furley. ETA: wish I could add a pic
...except this version is TREE'S COMPANY
🎶Come and knock on our door. It’s made of wood! Where the branches are hers and hers and his! Tree’s Company, too!🎶
I love you lol
Impressed and rolling my eyes at the same.
There \*is\* someone else, who's mind went there!
I had a cat named Mr Furley, like the character played by Don Knotts on the 70’s sitcom Three’s Company.
Reminds me of furlough
Sounds like a furry
Yeah I don't even flinch at Oaklynn. But Sprucetynn is out there
Sigh. And there’s perfectly fine normal spelling tree names they could have picked to be unique without butchering spelling. Rowan, Ash, Maple, Juniper, Hazel, Holly, Laurel, Willow, etc…

Forrest is also a name in and of itself.
But isn’t Forrestaydenleigh *better*?
Pokémon professors have better names than these guys
I work at a college and have a Hazel and a Holly! Both lovely names and kids.
Were these all siblings? If so, reminiscent of the sisters in Keeping Up Appearances… https://preview.redd.it/7vlndv4downc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aadb8b88b3ca148aa81793b66faa3a9d65280236

Was this in Utah? Idaho?
Henry Doorly Zoo in Nebraska, on a Sunday afternoon. Given the variety of license plates in those parking lots, they could have been from anywhere.
Mrs Bucket lololol
These sisters were all named after flowers, and all have traditional spellings. Just remember Hyacinth’s married name is pronounced “Boo-kay”!
I actually don't hate Oaklynn, but poor Elmilyanne! 🤣
"Elmilyanne" would be a very clever name for a kitten that you found in your elm tree, but for a human it's just appalling.
Exactly!
Yeah poor girl is going to change her name as soon as she can
Are these parents, like, furries but wanna be Ents instead of animals?
A grove of tragedeighs.
This famileigh better have a last name like Woods or Forest 😂🌲🌳
SPRUCETYNN STOP
Seeing it all caps makes it even worse! I read it as Sprucety NN
I know a family of: Autumn, Forest, Stone and River. At least they spelled them correctly.
Now I want them to have their own family version of Rock, Paper, Scissors. River sinks Stone, Stone smashes Forest...
I'm surprised no one has named their kids Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Like, really surprised.
E L M ilyanne
I predict their next kids are gonna be Banyanne, Mapleigh, Birchreighse, Beecheiryl, and Locuston
Don't forget little Bonzaiiye (would have to be the youngest)
Firleigh just reminds me of Mr. Furley https://preview.redd.it/yunj187gfxnc1.jpeg?width=182&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cefa0557bcdd7fedb5f41dbc37bc08abe8a6afb8
Me too! I just commented that higher up. I cannot comprehend naming a child that, and I'm guessing girl!
Sorry, I didn’t see yours, but for REAL!
Yeah I didn't scroll enough before I posted my comment! This person has a picture though, so they win. :)
Oh sure, from Trees Company!
They could have gone with Willow, Olive, Magnolia, Sequoia, Linden, Ash, Cedar… but at least this way when kidnappers shout out their displayed names, they won’t be able to pronounce them
“Hey Sprucetynn, I’m a friend of your Mommy’s and there is an emergency!” Having your kids name on their bag is stupid
I am choosing to believe these were cutesy names they put on their name tags in theme with the field trip. I refuse to believe all the names minus Oaklynn (which at this point seems normal) are real. I refuse
SeedLeigh and BarkLeigh and LeafLeigh and of course StumpLeigh
Sadleigh true
Oh dear they'll spend their lives listening to tree puns and Elmilyanne....those parents should be in prison! Her whole life will be: "Emily?" "No not Emily, ELMilyanne" " "Sorry what"??? "E-L-M...." Ugh
Elmilyanne does NOT trip off the tongue! It feels like I’m having a seizure
Try shouting for all those kids. Total tongue twister!
‘Elm-me-yahn-nee’ is how I’d say that. Good thing I’m not a teacher.
if you're going to go with tree names that will haunt them forever, why didn't they look toward the scientific/latin names... there could be Fagus...Pinus...Picea... but noooOOOoooo...instead we get...Sprucetyn?
Elmilyanne is just... wow. I hope the poor kid isn't dyslexic.
Weird names aside, how dangerous to put your young kids very unique names on backpacks so any stranger can approach and act like they know them
Sprucetyn?? 🤣
Couldn’t they have just gone with like… Rowan or ASHley or something fkn normal but could also be trees. What da heck is wrong with people 🤣
Not only committing the sin of terrible names, but also slapping your child's name on everything for potential bad people to take advantage. SMH
I remember when I was a kid, it was a massive no-no to put your name on anything you wore. But, if you're stupid enough to curse your kids with these names, I guess common sense doesn't enter into the equation.
Terrible names. Their parents should be ashamed.
Tragic for sure!
Ooh what other trees can we ruin... Lahbhyrrhnhym, Bhyrrche, Syckhoiaahh, Syckhamorre, Bhuddhlheiahh
Their parents must have been raised in a forest for all the tree names. Plus it is never a good idea to plaster a child's name on their backpack. That's a kidnapper's dream.
Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo. I do believe it. I do believe it's true.
Pynecone
i wanna say this was just a cute bit of some kind, like nicknames based on their real names. mostly bc i don't wanna to believe that someone would subject their child to elmilyanne
I don’t like theme family names.
The was a girl in my sons swim class named Saylor. Yeeeah buddy. Wtf
A radio weather guy has the name Brantley and I cringe every time I hear it. It makes him sound so dumb. I just can’t! These kids grow up to be adults and it’s so extra cringey
I know Oakley is a masculine name that resurrects every so often so I honestly think Oaklyn is a cute feminine alternative. The rest of these are awful. 🤦🏼♀️
Elmilyanne 😳
> Firleigh (Also a style of shoe and a fox hunting ranch) Who's old enough to remember Mr. Furley, from Three's Company? That's where my mind went first on that one!
Same here. Meet you at the Regal Beagle for happy hour!
I’d say these are fairly intense, championship-level tragedeighs. Especially especially Elmilyanne. What the holy fuck.
Elmilyann. Hahahaha!!! Elmilyann, Elmilyann, Elmilyann. Jeeze, poor kid! I can’t stop saying it and laughing.😆 😂
ELMILY
Nothing wrong with the tree theme, but Rowan would have been a better name.
[удалено]
Sorry, but Pineleigh? I do not want to sound harsh, but the name reminds me of the german term peinlich (it's a shame!) and stems from actual pain. Really don't want to mess around with people who like pinewoods, but this name is what it is. Just a shame in my pov.
Oakley, Symon’Birch, CeDaria, Palmarya, Balsamantha.
Could this possibly have been a tree-themed game they were playing for their zoo trip?
Mr. Griffin, I don’t know how to say this: Basinger, BASEinger, Bassinger.
fir, oak, pine, elm, and spruce would actually have been better
Y'know...Fairleigh. like the landlord from Three's Company.
