My new niece's middle name is Zelda but she gets some excuse for it by having a pair of German grandparents and a German surname. (My brother in law is a MASSIVE Nintendo fan though, it was chosen exactly why you think it was) vvv While I agree doesn't really belong in the terrible names thread, it fit in with the current line of conversation and I'm still pretty pumped up about becoming an uncle

All this talk about naming kids after Zelda and Link reminds me that one of my friends was asked to name his baby brother. They named him Elric, after Full Metal Alchemist. At least that's a real name, so it could have been worse. I just can't help being reminded that she let her son name the baby after an anime character every time I see them. And that reminds me of our African American student named "Kawaii."

I've always wondered if the Elric brothers were named after Elric of Melnibone.

A colleague of mine gave her son the middle name Apollo. For the space program. I think it was #11, but I'm not really sure.

Thomas Youngblood is a metal guitarist with an appropriately metal name. I'm friends with Jasper Q. and Zebulon Hornberger. No, the Q. does not stand for anything. My second cousins named their kids Cole Miner and Trayler Tresh. They thought it was hilarious, but the rest of the family was none too happy.I also knew a kid in elementary school by the name of Tractor Traylor.

Dude was like 20 years old) - Tanya Spiderman

Dogan posted:- Some ghetto dude named Karon (pronounced "Kay-ron") (His mom called him "Bouchie". Dude was like 20 years old) Are you sure she wasn't just calling him 'bougie'? It's a bastardized form of bourgeois and usually refers to those thought to be acting above their perceived social status. uranium grass has a new favorite as of 20:37 on Sep 30, 2013 |

I hadn't even thought of that. I just thought it was funny because both his names sound like synonyms for puking. If his middle name was Hurley or something, it'd be even funnier.

Well my inability to read is probably the main cause of my shame but I was told this one first hand so it's at least original to me. Apologies, I shall slink off.
