D’Krunk /dəkrə́ŋk/ (female)

The last sixteen years have been something of a slow burn for names that feature an apostrophe. With the recent appearance of D’Krunk on the naming scene, however, it looks like the next decade or so will be a veritable apostrophic inferno. Where names like P’Dump and T’Perch have used the apostrophe with disappointing results, D’Krunk combines economy and elegance to produce a uniquely punchy bouquet. It should come as no surprise, then, that it’s one of the most popular names of 2017 so far, with over 5,000 babies being named D’Krunk in January and February alone!

“No, I’m D’Krunk. B’Gelt is my brother.”
