i think you should be able to call CPS for this actually
in the wildPoor Narley. Poor Parley Poopie-Pants.
Barley isn't great either. Imagine being named after an ingredient in beer.
Yep !
“These are my triplets - Barley, Lentil, and Quinoa !” 😬😬😬
Younger sister Hops.
Her bro Brewers Yeast.
Other brother Malt.
All the ancient grains…
Amaranth! Get back here!
It pains me to say I don't hate Amaranth.
I also feel like it's not a widely enough known grain that that would be everyone's first thought
Same lol. Very elegant-sounding
Agreed. I don't love it, but I don't hate it.
It's a helluva lot better than Narley, Cher-lee, and Parley.
Narley is just gnarly
Me either. It's one of those that sounds like a nice name, until you realize it's a thing. And not a flower or something you use for a name.
Spelt!! Farro!!
There used to be a Tumblr account that was a satirical take on trendy mommy bloggers and the "mom" named her kid Quinoa.

Barley is adorable for a puppy…not so much a human
My husband’s aunt’s name is Barlee. It’s short for Barbara Lee. And funny enough, she was married to a man named Charlie.
See, that's sweet. I had a Great-Aunt Cookie. No one ever called her anything else, but her real name was Carol.
That’s not really a tragedeigh. The name is a nickname for her real names, so in this case it’s cute.
It was a character in the Disney movie Onward, too.
It's Barley a name.
My friend takes her pup to a doggy daycare. While at daycare, her dog is buddies with another dog named Barley. I think it’s adorable for a corgi, but for a human - no!
They’ve already got Poppy Belle, why not add Hoppy Nell in there too?
Good dog name though!
My friend has a dog named Barley. It’s a super cute name. For a collie.
They missed the opportunity to go with Gnarly Narley.
does that make them crazy? Probably.
I also read poopie pants
Shartleigh Storme
Nailed it
Poubelle is French for dustbin
I was going to snarkily suggest Gnarly but it’s already there, and misspelled to boot!!
And shartley
I swear I am a child. I can’t stop giggling at Parley Poppy-Belle Parley Poopy-Pants. It’s so silly!
My younger brother is named Parley & when he was a kid, his nickname was "Parley Pooper"!
I’m laughing so hard because “Gnarly” was a featured character in the show Smiling Friends as the evil alter ego to one of the main characters.
He meets a terrible fate to the Renaissance Men.
Narley Parley Poopie-Pants
The syllables fit perfectly into “Spooky scary skeletons” and now I’ve got that song in my head but with Narley Parley Poopie-Pants subbed in
"don't want to end up in a tragedeigh name group"- failed
She probs did the moment she had those twins. Multiple tragedeighs at once.
Oh God I just noticed the twin thing. Are Regan and Megan supposed to rhyme?
It says (rhyming middle names are twins). So, Regan, May-gan or Megan, Reggan. Your choice...
I've heard mee-gen as well, so could be ree-gen
Some accents pronounce May-gen so I think that's more likely
South Mid-Atlantic accent here: May-gen and Ray-gen, 'gen' pronounced like 'again'
But is again pronounced like "a-ghen" or "a-gain" 😉 /s
Ehh, the first to get worse. They dodged a bullet in comparison to Parley.
There is an easy way to avoid that fate, too.
Don’t give your kids names that amount to chyyld abyewse.
Watch out! Barley and Narley are about!
Also, for some reason having rhyming names that aren't spelled the same irks me.
I could see them as hobbit names. Not kids though
It sounds like a Garbage Pail Kid card….
Charlie and Cher-Lee must get so confused when their mom calls their name
Marley and Narley too
Why didn't she just spell it "Sharley/Sharlie" instead of having to attach a statement on how to pronounce it? I mean, at this point, what does she have to lose?
If you have to tell people how to pronounce your child's name right off the bat, then you are setting them up for a lifetime of annoyance.
She instead used a famous person's name that's pronounced nothing like her intention. That kid will always be called Cher Lee, by any one over like... 25 today? I guess I don't know if zoomers know Cher
At least parts of gen Z know Cher, I don’t know about gen alpha though…
if you have to attach a pronunciation guide, you’ve named your kid wrong
It isn’t that difficult. Go thru the alphabet. Taste isn’t a factor so there’s that.
Arly. Not hard.
Lol this is 1 I’ve been searching for 🙃altho, with the inconsistent/ irrational misuse of last 3 letters with these here rhyming names, feels like Arlei Storme (silent “e”) oughta suffice
Arlie, Darlie, Farley, Jarlie, Larley, Quarlie, Rawrlie, Tarlie, Varlie, Warley, Yarley, Zarlie.
Rarley
How on earth can “Cher-lee” be pronounced as “Sharley”
Or did they mean Shirley lol
No, cuz then it wouldn’t rhyme 🤦♀️
Oh fuck true. Shart lee
I think they went with how “Cher” sounds like share? Maybe? It’s terrible either way.
There’s Charlee and Charlee. It’s crazy that you can’t see the difference!?! You know, shar vs. char.
“Charlee and Charlee get over here! Barley and Narley need help. Baby Farley needs to be put down for a nap in the van down by the river.”
Starleigh
Yes why wasn't that a choice before Cher-lee?
like half the comments were some spelling of this, i have a feeling that kid is gonna end up getting that name 😭
Oh no, she's gonna be Starleigh Storme...
she can have a very promising career as a stripper or porn star, if she wishes, and she won't even have to come up with a stage name!
Stage name will be something like Ann Smith
I am gonna go with Farley, cos I just realised they spelt *Gnarly wrong...
For Canadians (at least us older ones) that’s not such an odd one. Farley Mowat
In Judy Blume’s Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Fudge’s real name is Farley.
My friend named her cat after Farley Mowat
its gnarly fyi
Holy cow, so it is. For some reason, I assumed it was a made-up word (yes, I know ALL words are made up, I watch Archer). According to the American Heritage Dictionary:
Narly = adjective Gnarled; misshapen. Characterized by violent motion; powerful or turbulent. "gnarly waves." Unpleasant or difficult.
Well, you learn something new every day.
You know what, I actually know that, I am an English teacher... I don't know why I added the E. I think I got hypnotised by all the tragedeighs.
Why does Narley Regan sound like a sick skateboard trick
Nancy Reagan’s cool cousin.
Watch out, Cousin Throckmorton
Good old Throcky
shartley
*Shahrthleigh
Johnathon lol
I clocked that too
Tsarley
Czarleigh
Ptarley
Fürarley
Also, she skipped over Carly/Carlie, an actual name that humans use?
(Never mind, the spelling threw me off.)
That's my name 😅 I always thought it was stupid, but in this list, I feel like that kid got off easy.
Hey, you have good company in Carly Simon. She was big when I was a kid in the 70s and I thought she had one of the coolest names I'd ever heard.
I named my daughter Carly in 1984 and about 5 minutes later the name took off in popularity.
karlie is right there lol
I was groggy, scrolling on my phone in the middle of the night and it got right past me. I think the spelling got me.
Parley, like a pirate?
Or she misspelled parsley
this is me when I'm trying to rhyme a word and I run down every letter of the alphabet and then move to blended sounds. yes, my brain is unhinged.
I thought everybody did that….
Tradgardleigh
Edit: meant to put a second a for the stupid rhyming
Starlie doesn’t sound completely horrendous.
Parley Poppy-Belle sounds like a character from an Enid Blyton book. 🙈
Parsley Poppy-Belle sounds like she could be one of Jamie Oliver’s children.
Locally, we have Parley's Canyon, so first thing I thought of.
Farley is the only choice left. Seriously, the universe is telling her it's time to stop procreating when the names run out.
Hey now, there's a lot more consonant clusters she could use. Farley Schmarley
Arleigh, Darlee, Early (pronounced AR-Lee of course) Farley…
Qarleigh (Carly)
Rawrley
Xarlee
Zarah-Lee
My friends dog is Rahlee. She was MAD that I was calling him Riley. Tf. Rahlee isn't a name. Lucky her kids have normal names.
I bet that's a butchering of Raleigh... unusual to see a tragique name that involves taking out an existing -eigh.
Parley Poppy-Belle took me OUT
I can see that going two ways. When Parley Poppy-Belle grows up, she changes her name either to Catherine or to Endora.
Beefnbarley Soupe would have been better. Maybe get Campbell’s to buy naming rights.
Arli Darli Farley Tarli Zarley
I know a child named Tarli she's lovely but her siblings don't all rhyme
Poor kids
It's like the joke about 5 sons
Wow, as a Karlie who always hated the stupid spelling, in this particular context, that kid got lucky.
Those children aren't people to their parents. They're objects.
How did "Cher-Lee pronounced Sharlee" get chosen before Farley, Darley, or Zarley or something? (And some commenters here suggested Starlie, which is actually kind of cute.) I mean, those aren't great options, but they'd at least be better.
Who's going to pronounce that "sharley" on the the first try? Kid's going to be called Share-ly or Shirley everywhere she goes.
Fartleigh Gasse and Shartleigh Asse are still available for #9 and #10.
How have they not used Farley?? An actual name??
Based on the pattern, I vote for STARlie 🥴⭐️
Narley = Gnarly and Barley is a grain.
oh naurley, this ain’t it
She is just playing the name game at this point and I hate it.
Fee-fi-mo-marley wouldn't be much worse than what she's already got.
Marley May is so cute. Then every one after that is weird.
Barley Jonathon is getting made fun of so hard.
Don’t worry, he’s got a bro Narley (gnarly)
*Johnathon because, of course it is.
“have to rhyme”
Honey that is not how this works.
Farley Kris
Well they already have Parley, keep it on the high seas and go with Yarrrleigh!
Barley, Narley, Sharley and Parley? If this isn't an advertisement for birth control, I don't know what it is....
She should just pick 9 new names
Pray these kids don’t go to the same school
Too bad she wasted Narley on a beige middle name like Regan - could’ve had a Narley Storme.
Narley Wayve.
Once you've already named kids Barley and Narley, it's way too late to start worrying what people think.
I suspect what she's looking for is something like Sur-lee (pronounced sarley) or Wer-lee (pronounced warley) or Gur-lee (pronounced garley).
I hope Narley becomes a skater one day and legally changes his name to Gnarly. Just own that shit lol (I’m high)
Missed opportunity for Marley May and Harley Hay!
All of these names are gnarley.
"She nor I want to get judged or in one of those tragedy name groups"
But they belong here 💀
Why isn't Arlie/Arleigh/Arley the obvious choice here? It's an actual name.
I'd even go so far to suggest Farley/Farlee and Darlie/Darley over Narley or Parley.
Chris Farley. Easy
Gnarly
Fartley
Sassy Assy would be my vote.
Zeebraleigh
Can't be real. Answers are too simple: pick a letter of the alphabet not yet used and append "arly" -- Carly, Darly, Early (this one needs mispronounce to fit), Farly, etc up to Zarly.
Parsley! Why not?!?!?
This can NOT be real...
Swarley
Why no Darley? And how on earth is Cher pronounced Shar? Never again will I judge my neighbour who called their two kids Jamie and Amy!
Nancy Reagan? Oh, Narley Regan. My bad.
Perfect time to make use of Swarley! Swarlos. Swarles Barkley.
Narley and Parley? lol 😂
Parley and Narley? Jesus christ.
Darlie is maybe their best option. Farleigh was a character in Saltburn iirc.
I shouldn’t encourage them actually
Farley Chris is the way to go
Narley?! That's what I always called gross things.
You don't want to he judged in a tragedy name group? Have you considered that your kid doesn't want to be judged because you gave them a stupid name for the sake of rhyming.
Poor kids are going to have identity crises because they won’t know who their parents are yelling for/at. Did you yell Charlie or Char-lee mom?
Parents will go through several names to get to the kid’s name. Charlie, I mean Harley, no, wait Barley come in here right now!
Hope none of the kids have hearing issues because they are going to have a hard time understanding when they’re being talked to. When my husband and I adopted our two sister cats their names were Luna and Lana. We changed Lana to Layla because they were having a hard time knowing who we were speaking to, and Layla wasn’t really responding to Lana anyway.
Mom is going to be pissed when they all go by their middle names or initials. Narley is going to spell his name Gnarley.
If you are running out of rhyming names maybe you are having too many freaking kids.
"She nor I want to get judged"
So Mom wants to get judged, but OOP doesn't?
Starting that sentence with "neither" makes it make sense. Otherwise, it's as much a hash as Mom's rhyming "names."
starrleigh
Narley? Sounding like gnarly?
Fuck off this must be fake 😂
Carly is right there!
It’s in there, with a K
Narley? Nooo 😭
I hope every one of those kids chooses to use their middle names as adults.
If it is pronounced Sharley, which is also dumb, why not spell it that way?!
Gnarly Narley.
I’m sorry but Narley Regan finished me
Parley... Oh poor child. 😭
They forgot Farley, Arly and Starleigh
I died at Barley Johnathon 💀💀. Just whyyyy. I can’t believe some of these parents are real. Barley Johnathon 🤣
Really once it got to Narley, that's when it started going bad 😂 the other ones were mostly fine
The reality of these names being given to actual living human beings is a stark reminder that every day we stray further from gods light.
It's like these parents never went to grade school.
Do people just completely disregard that their children will have to be adults with these names for the majority of their life?
The most upsetting part of this for me is that my name is in there somewhere and based on the name it’s supposed to rhyme with it’s clearly mispronounced.
Ew.
I’m sorry, in what world in Cher-lee pronounced “sharley”
