So a friend of my friend on Facebook has named his baby "Lucious Foxx" after the Morgan Freeman character from the Batman movies. The father is an incredibly obese, painfully white dork. Asking my friend about it, he said he told the father how dumb the name was, and the father of the baby got super defensive about it, saying it's not from the Batman movies, he just thinks it's a cool name.

Aphrodite posted:Tali and Zora(h) are both actual names, so they could just do first and middle and at least the kid isn't stuck with that. There was a hilarious newspaper article, maybe from way back in this thread, where a couple picked out the name Tali for their daughter based on something emotional and personal to them. And then the mother talked about Googling the name and getting a bunch of "weird anime sexy alien pictures."

Choco1980 posted:His middle name is also an acceptable name that actually comes from a comic character but I have no shame there. My boss has got a shitton of kids, and the seventh one is a girl named Jubilee. I guess there's some religious sense of the word that has something to do with the number seven, but he confessed over dinner on a business trip once that she was pretty much named after the character in the X-Men (and that we'd better not ever tell his wife that if we knew what was good for us).

I like this comic named Anjelah Johnson (or, at least, I like her when she's not setting off all my White Guilt alarms when she does racial humor). I was like wtf kind of spelling is Anjelah, because it's pronounced just like Angela. But then when you google "Anjelah" she is the first result you get. Is that what parents who come up with "u'nique" and "amazin'" spellings of regular names, or give their kids super corny names like Ryder and Flynne are going for? SEO?

And Sonichu is totally an original creation. I work with a guy named Michael Jackson. Yeah.

And then the mother talked about Googling the name and getting a bunch of "weird anime sexy alien pictures." Tali is actually a fairly common name in Hebrew, being the feminine version of the male name Tal. It is one of the names in Hebrew that are words you would never name your child in English. (As an added bonus, most of these sound funny in English!) For a sort of content, have some examples of that: Tal translates into 'dew', Gal translates into 'wave', both Shai and Doron translate into 'gift', Or translates into 'light', Bar is either 'wild' or used as a preposition to mean 'has X', Amit is 'colleague', Yael is 'ibex' (and solely a female name), Shir is 'song', Hadar and Ziv are 'splendor' (more or less, "Hadar" is also 'citrus'), and so many many others.

Met a girl working at the supermarket last week whose name tag said Shetadra. It mostly just struck me how easily that becomes "She-Tard!" on the playground.

Frankly, Michael Jackson is a pretty common name actually. Both before and after the famous one was around. Both the first and last are common enough that it happens frequently. Kind of like how many "Bart Simpson"s the odds have produced, especially before the show went on the air.

I know a very nice person by the name of Algebra. (Her dad was a horrible man who got rights to name her, then got high in an attic with his old gradeschool supplies. True story.) The other that I know is Perpigilian Delicatessen Aurora Borealis Lastname. Yes Delicatessen. I can appreciate that's very Googlable, she's a nice girl burdened with a nutty name so leave her be.
