Just stumbled across this name in a random LJ profile:

DeChapearougue Oran Vassago (boy)

...What?

Well, atleast I know what the second one is supposed to be.

I have no idea what the hell the first one means.

[squisheroo.livejournal.com]

I took the second one off, because it was so tame in comparison and various spellings of "Ryleigh" are so common anyway. =oP

[samaside.livejournal.com]

I would have left it on. The thing as a whole was pretty out there.

DEE-SHAW-PUH-ROGUE?
DEE-SHAW-PEE-RUE-GUH?
DEH-SHAW-PEER-OH-GUH?

Yeah, I got nothing.

If you google DeChapearougue you find all the profiles/blog sites the mom is on.

[squisheroo.livejournal.com]

You're right. o_O That is very bizarre. And it makes it obvious that she made the name up. I just wonder how she came up with it.

[squisheroo.livejournal.com]

I asked the mom. It's French for "enlightened one."

I hope he's got a killer nickname. Or that he takes some self-defense courses.

NOOOO!!!

According to whom?

When I first saw DeChapearougue I immediately thought Chaperon Rouge as in the story (Petit Chaperon Rouge = Little Red Riding Hood). NOTHING in this name means enlightenment to me, and I'm French. :\

Yeah, admittedly, my French is not amazing, but 'DeChapearougue' sure doesn't look anything like 'enlightened one' to me. The only thing it looks like is 'chapeau rouge', red hat.

So basically... her kid's name means 'Of Red hat', and it's not spelled right. Unless someone who knows better French than I do wants to correct me.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

Chapeau rouge makes me think of little red riding hood even MORE.

His nickname is Bubbie. :(
