Dick Trickle killed himself today. He could have gone by Richard, but I'm sure "Dick Trickle" was too hard to pass up.

Saw a cake the other day that said Happy Birthday Seania. Didn't see the people who ordered it so I have no idea if it supposed to be pronounced like Sonya, Shawna or Shawnya.

Three girls I know named Arica (pronounced Erica), Billie Jean, and Aaren (pronounced Erin). Not terrible compared to some of the others but I loathe "uniquely" spelled names. Also the middle one always reminds me of blue jeans.

A high-school friend of mine just had a baby named Arianna. This isn't that bad in and of itself (apparently it's a real Italian name -- not that she's Italian, but, you know, still a real name), but "Arianna" was also the name of her original fanfiction character back in the day, who was (if I recall correctly) the time-traveling daughter of two B- or C-team X-Men. In a world with thousands upon thousands of good, uncommon names, do you really have to name a kid after some random fanfic character you wrote in 10th grade?

Thankfully she didn't name her fan fiction character Sephirotha.

I am a high school teacher. I work with Mr LeButt, Mr Manschot, and Mr Wank. Mr Wank is a high school gym teacher. His first name is Richard. Dick Wank. I first discovered his name on a staff seniority list and I was giggling about it for days. I have had students named Charlie Sprinkle, Damon Flowers, and (my favorite) Guy Hamburger. My mom has students named Dequante Raspberry and Truley Tuff. edit: technically not names, but... I work with a Mrs F. Atto, whose email address is fatto@etc. The head secretary (administrative assistant) at my school was deeply unhappy about her new job title of Administrative Secretarial Supervisor. butthole pornpig has a new favorite as of 04:06 on May 23, 2013 |

Holy poo poo, I think I know exactly who you're talking about. Lives on the west coast, way too into young adult fiction, spoiled all her life by her rich parents?

It could also be that she just really likes the name and used the name twice rather than specifically naming the kid after the character. Some people pick out their kids names at a very young age. I really like Abigail, Meredith, and Jeremy for potential names if I have kids and I can imagine being a teenager and using those names for characters because screw it those are cool names that I like.

I was waiting for a friend at a gas station convenience store last night when a parent of one of these amazingly named children rolled up. lovely "I got a DUI" scooter with two incredibly white-trash dudes on it, terrible music blasting so loud it was clipping. They proceeded to leave it blasting while they went into the store. I've never been so tempted to drive over someone's vehicle in my life. License plate: NAVAEH

"Little Fatty Pancakes" was what I actually claimed I was naming my firstborn. Two names for today: Seeana, pronounced Sienna, and Sequoyah. Sequoia is a pretty sweet name tbh, and she was about 6 feet tall, so.

FWIW, Sequoyah is an actual name, she probably wasn't named after the tree. Edit: In fact, the trees were named after the person, who was illiterate but invented an alphabet for the Cherokee Language, which is still in use today.

I used to work at a jewelry engraving place and these super white trash people came in to buy a name bracelet for their soon-to-be-born baby. The name they wanted on the bracelet? Mazzylin. Worst of all, the girl I worked with accidentally messed up and made the bracelet say "Mazzyline" and the people got really upset. And I get that, like we screwed up, but I wanted to be like "Hey, I'm sorry we messed up your clearly fake made-up white trash baby name."
