Grrl Anachronism posted:Some of my internet friends had a baby. I know the name is the point here but I keep getting stuck on "10lb 9oz", ouch. Back when I worked in a bank I served a customer by the name of 'Conan Hammerstaff'. I remember jokingly texting my husband on my lunch break that I had to leave him as I had met a guy so manly he couldn't compete.

Dr. Gross. He's a skincare doctor and, in fact, his clinic is Dr. Gross Skincare.

At the beginning of February my son's daycare will send out a list with all the kids' names on it, and there are always a few winners. This year there's: Nonso, Reign, Kenzo, Charis, Declan, TWO Gage's, and the pièce de résistance, Roady. Roady. Roady.

bringmyfishback posted:I just started teaching in Korea... Hey, same intake haha (way late, I know). I'm at a middle school in Korea. I've never brought up English names with my students and just use their Korean names. Some students, however, have told me that they already have English names they've chosen for themselves, such as Heily (pronounced "highly") Cinderella Cutie Girl Pretty Girl Miss Korea Hyuna (this is actually a Korean name, for a big-time celebrity here, but one girl decided that this is her "English" name) White Princess Hero Six-Pack (kid is obsessed with six-packs) Handsome I think I have two students with actual English names, but the rest don't know how English names work.

Hummingbirds posted:Well this was in Florida so if that's where you met/heard of her, I guess it's probably the same person. I hope it was, because it would be really sad for two people to have that unfortunate name. Nope, there must be two Vicki Hickeys, because I ran across mine in Kansas. I guess she could have moved, though...

I have several students who like shouting ridiculous poo poo at me and have weird fixations like his, but this isn't PYF poo poo ESL Students Say. For content, in high school I knew a girl named Lotus. She had a brother named Summit and a sister named Emily.

I was reading a local paper's New Babies from 2013 spread that they always do, and there were some interesting ones in there: Girls named Azailia Chrisylee, Kiyon Nyx, and Dailyn Twin girls named Arizona and Hali And a little boy named Bruin Plus a whole bunch of Liams, Aidens, and various flower names, as you'd expect.

Sometimes I look through the name change announcements in the Gazette to see what people are picking for names. Most are marriages or sex changes, but it's neat to see what names people actually pick for themselves. Sometimes you find the person that's read Harry Potter a few too many times.  And sometimes you find someone that's sick of it being a 20 minute process to give their name over the phone.

The funny thing to me is that it's a Canadian newspaper  Maybe they were going for a vague "locations in North America" theme after all, and Hali is referencing Halifax? The world may never know!

Came over from Germany in the mid-1700s. He definitely existed, there's just some disagreement on the genealogy once we hit the Civil War era.
