A CONFUSED Redditor has shared the very NSFW name of a coworker — people made it the butt of their jokes.
People joked that they’re probably on a list somewhere for an unfortunate name Google search.

An anonymous Redditor u/PelagiaThePissedOff shared the unfortunate story they came across in a forum, hoping for some advice.
“I almost considered flairing this NSFW but the whole point is that it’s not! And that’s confusing!” the Redditor began, distressed.
Soon, the Redditor reveals the source of their stress: “I have a coworker named Anally,” they said.
“It is supposed to be pronounced ‘ANA-lee,’ but pretty much nobody gets it right the first time from reading it.”
They explained that everyone in the company works remotely and there’s always confusion when people meet Anally for the first time.
“I just refused to say her name until I was certain I’d heard the correct pronunciation and I must admit that it took a WHILE (literally months) because pretty much everyone else would avoid saying her name as well,” they said.
In an attempt to understand why someone would name their child that, the Redditor took it upon themselves to see if other people had similar names.
“When Googling ‘Anally baby name,’ within the first 5 searches, it includes ‘baby name: anus’ and the sixth search is ‘anal name meaning,’” they said, searching the results of their research.
Unfortunately, nothing came up that was of use: “I didn’t find a correct pronunciation (it was either left blank on sites or just… wrong) at least on all the websites I went to.”
At the end of the day, the Redditor still struggled to wrap their minds around the unique name.
“Just wondering: what would be the attraction to using this name (like genuinely, does anyone know any information about its meaning)? Would you ever use a name like this?”
People took to the comments to share their thoughts.
A few made jokes at their expense: “Bro is on a list now for googling that,” said one commenter.
Others shared stories of people they knew with variations of the unfortunate name.
“I work with someone named Annali and I can’t help but think anally because we work at long term care and are nurses,” said one.
“Somewhat related, there’s a high school in my area called Analy High school (pronounced Anna lee) but everyone who does not go there calls it Anal-lee,” said another.
“With a name like that, you’re just asking for people to make fun of it.”
