HelpThe dumbest made-up meaning I’ve ever heard (rant?)
One time, maybe a few weeks or a month ago, I was talking with come classmates and someone brought up how all names have a meaning.
(That obviously isn’t true, but moving on)
Just for fun, we proceeded to each say what our names meant - and, boy, were these people lied to as kids.
Apparently Alyssa means "flower" and "cloud," Madison means "loved one" or something, Stephanie means "royalty," and then what is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard (regarding names) is said:
A girl named Preslee (that’s Presley, the surname, spelled kre8tyvely) told us that her name means "most beautiful one who ever lived".
Yes, word-for-word. "Most beautiful one who ever lived."
Preslee.
I tried my hardest to keep a straight face and not tell her that what she just said is pure sh*t. I know I probably sound really obnoxious, but this kind of thing always ticks me off. Turns out, people love making up these fancy, "special," 100% bullsh*t meanings for their names and showing them off as if it suddenly makes them "super speshul!!1!1!!1!!!"
Has anyone witnessed similar cases? Again, I know I sound obnoxious and probably shouldn’t have gotten annoyed at such a harmless thing, but I guess the "name-nerd" nature has taken over me, lol. I just wanted to let this out after it (perhaps unnecessarily) irritated me so much.
