What to Know
In many ways, Facebook is a treasure trove of people oversharing, even when no one asks for their thoughts or opinions. But such is social media, so when a mom posted in a group about what she planned to name her baby, she seemed ready to defend her choice. Despite that baby name being vaguely antisemitic and pretty strange overall.
A screenshot of the post was shared on X, where the rest of the internet shared thoughts on the, um, interesting, name choice. It almost makes you wonder if the post on its own was pure rage bait. But on social media, you can never truly tell who is being authentic and who isn’t. And the mom stood her ground in her name choice, defending it more than once, so it seems like she really is set on a wildly unique name for her baby girl.
The mom chose a pretty interesting baby name for her daughter.

In the screenshot from the post, the mom wrote in a group that she is looking for baby girl name inspiration. She reveals that her son’s name is Adler, and she wants the perfect name to go with it. OK, so far so good. Well, mostly. But then she drops the bomb of the name that she and her husband already chose. Why is she even asking for name options, then?
“Throw me your unique girl names,” the mom wrote, maybe in an effort to show off her name choice. “Our son’s name is Adler. We have been talking about naming our daughter Nazy pronounced neigh-zee (my husband’s great grandmother’s name) for literally YEARS but now that the time is here, my husband is second guessing it. Help me change his mind or give me something equally unique!”
It didn’t take long for people to associate the name Nazy with Nazi. Some even suggested that, despite the mom’s intentions being for the little girl to have a unique name inspired by a beloved relative, no one is going to be able to pronounce her name correctly. With the one letter difference, that’s hard to argue with.
People think the little girl will get bullied her whole life.
Under the X post with the screenshot of the baby name choice, users speculated on how hard of a life little Nazy might have with that name. Forget not being able to find a keychain in a gift shop. According to some users, the parents are setting her up for a lifetime of uncomfortable conversations and pronunciations if they go with “Nazy.”
“Damn [they’re] practically setting her up on a silver platter for the bullies,” someone commented on X. “People are gonna mispronounce her name for her entire life plus who knows it might affect her employment opportunities later if HR has to do a double take on [your] name all the time.”
Another person responded to that comment with, “And to add it’s just a stupid name. People need to realize [they’re] naming human beings and not pets. A name will follow you for the rest of your life even if you legally change it.”
The mom admitted she doesn’t care about its antisemitic similarities.
Despite the apparent backlash the mom faced in the Facebook comments, none of which were also shared in screenshots, she doesn’t seem to mind the potential antisemitic connection. Granted, that isn’t her intention. But she later edited the post to make sure other users know that she isn’t concerned with the Nazy/Nazi of it all.
“ETA: I say this so nicely — I don’t care about the N*zi similarities in spelling/mispronouncing,” she wrote. “It’s the sentiment of the name.”
Be that as it may, another X user commented on the post with, “Congratulations to the child on their future 10,000 pronunciation corrections.” Yeah, they aren’t wrong.
