Krakfilch /krǽkfɪltʃ/ (male)

Krakfilch is one of those names that shapes a child in its own image, so before you choose this for your baby boy, make sure you’re prepared for them to grow up with rough edges and – quite possibly – a bit of a smell. It isn’t the most pleasant-sounding of names, but these days character and originality tend to be valued over aesthetic beauty, which is the only explanation for this name’s sudden popularity.

“What Krakfilch says he’s done and what Krakfilch has actually done are two completely different things.”
