But one man has revealed that he can’t stand his name, and thanks to his ‘creative’ dad, now feels like a ‘living, breathing dad joke’.

Taking to Reddit, on the AskReddit feed, the now grown-up son shared his hatred for his moniker.

He said: "My name is not all that ridiculous - Alson.

“But the reasoning behind it is just downright silly. 

“I'm the youngest of three boys; so not long after I was born and having to think of a name, my extremely creative dad was like, 'Hmmm! I have all sons...'"

The man explained that thanks to his unique name, he is now bombarded with questions when he introduces himself.

You are a dad joke

He added: “Thanks for the lifetime of 'Allison'? misconceptions, Dad!"

Fuming with his father, the man continued: “I am a livin', breathin', walkin' dad joke..."

While many users couldn't help but laugh at the story behind his unique name, others flocked to the comments to share their own embarrassing monikers. 

One user said: "You are a dad joke..." 

Another added: "I have a normal name (David) but it stems from a joke about a Harley DavidSon Motorcycle.

"As in 'I may not have a Harley, but at least I have a David Son.'"

A third shared: "A friend of mine recently entered a pageant where one of the contestant's names is Crystal Veth.

"I will never not find that hilarious." 

At the same time, someone else wrote: "My mum had two cats when she had me.

"And joked she was going to name me Kitty so she could go to the back door at the end of the day and just yell 'Here Kitty, kitty, kitty' to call everyone inside."

Whilst one Reddit user explained: "I don't have a ridiculous name, but my mother's reason for naming me Tyler really makes me depressed. 

“She was going to name me Taylor, but then she saw a Soap Opera in the mid-80s that had a character named Tyler that she thought was hot. 

“I feel as if that is the main reason why there are so many other guys my age with the same name, but I've never met anyone older than me named Tyler. 

“My mother makes me cringe that this is the reason."

It comes after one woman explained how her unusual name was "character building" after she was mocked during her childhood.

Another woman told Fabulous exclusively, how she has twins, that were born 900 miles apart.
