That's Jokeymon, #1482 on the pokedex.

Voluntary_Perry@reddit

The thing is, it's not originally a joke. This came from a clip of a substitute teacher showing the wild names he had in his class.

[-]

We shorten names(and half the English language) here in Australia so here the kid would probably be nicknamed Alfa, short for alphabet, but I suspect that that would morf into Alfie as this is rolls of the (Aussie) tongue much easier.

Elden_Storm-Touch@reddit

If they were my classmate in school, I'd end up pronouncing it "ab-city," "obesity," or "abscess," in my head depending on how much I like them.

Of course, I'd never say it out loud due to my fear of confrontation.

[-]

KansansKan@reddit

They will nickname him “Password”.

jimbo-g@reddit

But like..... I had a friend who ran museum tours for schools who was baffled when she had a kid called "Noelle" spelled Jkmno. This us already happening. This was in 2019 so this kid was easily born in 2012 or sometime around then. Wild

[-]

ssbsts1@reddit

No joke, there was a girl I knew whose name was ABCDE. Pronounced “Absidee”. Fucking stupid lmao

I hate to be argumentative, but this is Reddit. I believe that was Big Bird.

I was thinking it was Kermit, but it isn't his voice I keep hearing. Couldn't place it as BB.

[-]

Biz_Ascot_Junco@reddit

Read the alphabet again

It’s missing an L

Noelle sounds like “No L”

[-]

DoreenMichele@reddit

Or maybe you and others downvoting me could read the description of r/tragedeigh and stop busting my chops for failing to get my joke.

[-]

fantomas_666@reddit

While this is good material for r/tragedeigh, it's a good joke too.

They are not mutually exclusive

[-]

Biz_Ascot_Junco@reddit

If you just wrote “Belongs on r/tragedeigh” you’d have some plausible deniability, since that is a place for names that are impossible to intuitively pronounce, but putting “r/lostredditor” before that makes it clear you couldn’t see the joke until others pointed it out to you.

They actually made the song Noel Noel, because the music teacher noticed the omission and made a song out of it. The song became a hit. As a result, the child became the king of Israel.
