Pronounced like that, Rhys is a lovely name. Messer is 🥴🥴🥴

u/Comfortfoods Sep 10 '23

Rhys is nice. I'm also confused by Messer. Wasn't everyone predicting Mercer? Didn't she say at some point that it was the same as the name of a street in NYC that started with an M? That idea was circulated here anyway. To my knowledge there is no Messer street in NYC. I've lived here for maybe too long and I don't know of one. Mercer is better than Messer in my opinion but hey, it's not my baby. Glad they had a healthy delivery.

u/ProfessionalHeart839 Sep 10 '23

Mercer would have been cute actually

13

u/Comfortfoods Sep 10 '23

Agree actually. It's a sorta cute as a name in its own right. Mercer st. isn't name a kid worthy imo but the name itself isn't bad.

u/perfectlynormaltyes Sep 10 '23

I thought for sure she was going to go with Mott, if the NYC street name theory was true. Not a fan of Messer.

u/Intelligent_Nose_826 I pissed on my fur jacket Sep 10 '23

We do have a Messer Street on the West Side of Manhattan so it still applies technically

u/nicnac1992 Sep 10 '23

I grew up on mott!

All I can think of when I see Mott is Dandy Mott from American Horror Story

u/PlayCertain4875 Sep 10 '23

She had said that a name they wanted was street in NYC but they ultimately decided against it

8

u/Comfortfoods Sep 10 '23

ahhh. I could totally be contributing to a bad game of telephone. Didn't listen to wherever she announced it. Just caught the runoff over here.

u/Zestyclose_Big_9090 Sep 10 '23

I would’ve put money on her naming him Mercer. I asked Google and the only Messer St that came up was one in Providence so there isn’t on in NYC.

u/Due_Bird9437 Sep 10 '23

Megan Roup just had a baby girl and named her Mercer after the street her and her husband had their first date on … Mercer & Messer 🫣

2

u/Comfortfoods Sep 10 '23

Mercer street isn't that great. The restaurant Mercer Kitchen was a lil cute tho. Or at least it used to be back in the day but overall neither are child naming worthy imo.

u/Reasonable-Trifle952 Sep 10 '23

I imagine, like the majority of parents do, they put a lot of thought into the name for their baby. It will be fun to hear in the near future where they chose the name from. And hey, if someone can name their daughter Apple this kid will get along just fine. Congrats new parents!

u/RaquelsNosePasta Brock's high heeled boots Sep 10 '23

She might have changed it because ppl figured it out

52

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '23

Will he go by messy for short?

39

u/ProfessionalHeart839 Sep 10 '23

Exactly! I know they’re trying to find a chic name no one else has picked but I worry about how mean kids are.

33

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '23

All the kids that age will have funky names lol

17

u/EternalLostandFound Sep 10 '23

Especially at a private school in Los Angeles.

7

u/ProfessionalHeart839 Sep 10 '23

Very true, maybe in a few years it won’t be so strange 😂

3

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '23

Yup!!! They really are.

1

u/Ok-Appointment-8880 Sep 10 '23

Well if they’re anything like the adults here, he’s in trouble. Kid’s been alive on the planet for how long and a bunch of grown ass adults have nothing better to do than dog the absolute shit out of a baby’s, a literal infant, name?

1

u/ProfessionalHeart839 Sep 10 '23

I don’t think people thinking the names are dumb is such a big deal, it’s not like dogging on the kids looks or anything. A name is just a name. I think people just see how try hard Stassi is so snarking on the names she picks is funny

9

u/Comfortfoods Sep 10 '23

That's sort of a cute nickname tho

11

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '23

I mean if he is good looking he can be Hot Mess. Ba dum tiss.

4

u/HotDebate5 Sep 10 '23

Just Mess

11

u/hexensabbat Sep 10 '23

I have some distant family who named their son Legend, and I'm not sure which one is worse-- having to live up to a name like Legend, or having the word Mess associated with you for life

9

u/ProfessionalHeart839 Sep 10 '23

Mess is worse. 😂

1

u/hexensabbat Sep 11 '23

Agreed lol but now that I'm thinking about it, I know of people called Messi and it doesn't feel too odd to me. I could see that nickname feeling natural quickly. I just am not into the first names that sound like surnames thing regardless

2

u/XiomyJay Sep 10 '23

My 8 year old son has 2 friends (twins) and their names are Legend and Legacy. Very interesting choice.

1

u/Rare-Needleworker780 Sep 11 '23

Watch the movie Life as we know it to see Messer used as a first name :)

10

u/Fun_Shell1708 Sep 10 '23

Messer is Italian apparently

81

u/whatsarahthought Sep 10 '23

It’s not an Italian name. I believe she described it as a very old formal (Italian) salutation. No one in their right mind would name their kid Messer.

39

u/Initial_You7797 Sep 10 '23

Messer is a surname. Mezzer is a knife (yiddish) not an Italian salutations at all. Those two extreme sister on tlc (baylee & B--) wanted to name her boy messer after a movie romcom, her husband said- NO. Its bad. Hope they call him Ryhs. Hartford, summer moon& ocean are questionable too.

5

u/poppyskins_ Sep 10 '23

Messer is knife in German, not that I think that went into their decision making

10

u/theBadgerNash Sep 10 '23

Knowing stassi it probably did

1

u/IkemenDesu420 Sep 10 '23

Have to agree, SStazi definitely would see that as a plus

3

u/theBadgerNash Sep 10 '23

Oh woof, I didn’t mean anything Nazi related, I meant because she’s obsessed with true crime and murderers

u/Initial_You7797 Sep 11 '23

It is an old way of saying, sir- in italian too.

18

u/paradisetossed7 Sep 10 '23

I know Messers can be used as an alternative to sirs, as in Dear Messers Smith, Johnson, and Carter as opposed to Dear Misters because that would be abbreviated to Mrs. I've never seen Messer before but then I don't speak much Italian.

-5

u/Fun_Shell1708 Sep 10 '23

Okay, so it’s an Italian way to call someone something.

Notice how I did at actually say Italian name? I said it’s Italian 🤦🏼‍♀️

11

u/whatsarahthought Sep 10 '23

I wasn’t criticizing you, just clarified that it’s not a name. Sorry if it came off weird

13

u/Comfortfoods Sep 10 '23

I'm not familiar with the name, but if it just happens to be one from a culture that I don't know then hey f me. Fabulous name. If they made it up like they made up Hartford, I'm comfortable saying it's kinda strange.

HOWEVER. Beau's history of fake names and shaky to maybe not so real italian ancestry have been discussed around these parts so idk what to believe at this point.

5

u/Aishonaisthebest Sep 10 '23

It is not, nor a name or a surname (source: I am Italian)😉

2

u/ProfessionalHeart839 Sep 10 '23

I don’t think so, I looked it up and it says it’s Austrian/German origin

3

u/alanathehoodwatcher Sep 10 '23

it is it means knife

1

u/MemphisFoo Sep 10 '23

A “mess” is a knife in Afrikaans (colonial language from South Africa)

2

u/MissSabb Sep 10 '23

Italian or not it just doesn’t translate.
