It is Jareth. It's right there in the post you quoted.

But the post also says the truly terrible part is that the kid got their father's last name. Which is not mentioned in the post.

It may not be that it's a terrible name, but rather that the father was a terrible person.

Gaye Lamb. How you can hate an unborn child is beyond me, what a poo poo name. Cracked up when my friend told me the persons name, the fact that a synonym for this person would be homosexual sheep caused me no end of amusement.

Oh, you are correct and I have the dumb. I'm going to choose to believe that the last name is Ramsbottom.

Six men in Sweden are named this. I do not know why.

It's a popular Urdu name. :) A variation is Mahboob, which is even worse in an English-speaking context. MAH BOOB!

I've just started a new job and one of my co-workers is a man named Sunny. (Not Sonny.) I think that's kind of adorable, though.

I don't understand why people have to rehash the same fake terrible name again and again. It's not like there's a deficit of actual godawful names in the world. I interacted with a girl named "Ashee" today for gently caress's sake. Ashlee without the "L".

You cannot have seriously posted this loving stupid name again and also jocked a joke from Always Sunny and tried to pass them off as your own in this thread. This has to be a joke.


e: your rap sheet does not bode well for this being a joke. You suck.

Pronounced "Luh-mon-juh-low" and "Are-ron-juh-low", right? I've heard these a ton.

I've also heard Female several times (pronounced "Fuh-ma-lay"), leading me to think that's another bullshit one that's made the rounds.

I don't know if you're just playing along, but I was mocking the fact that every couple of pages a new person seems to come into the thread making a similar claim to the one in my original post, but without being facetious. We'll be having a conversation about how racist and idiotic some of these stereotypical names are, and somebody will, without fail, post one of the same 3-4 stereotypical names and act totally surprised when it's pointed out that they're making asses of themselves.

I thought you were an honest new post!

I was at CostCo today and the woman checking my receipt on the way out was named Glenis. I know it rhymes with Dennis, but gosh. Not only could it potentially rhyme with penis, it sounds like part of one. Like glans penis.

Or maybe I just had a long day. But still, GLENIS!

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

If it helps, he's right, but it makes me wonder if his parents were Williams College alumni, in which case he was named after a mountain and a housing quad/dining hall. I hope for everyone's sake that he wasn't conceived there...
