And Trent Reznor had a cat named Fuckchop, which is about the best cat name ever. Now here's some funny dead people names.           Gay Hitler!

I saw someone tagged in a Facebook post by the name of Phranny. That's not just a cute nickname the poster gave her either - her profile page has her listed under that name too. I guess Franny is a pretty normal name, albeit a bit dated, but Phranny? Seriously?

I'm not entirely sure what my uncle was thinking. Ok, so our last name starts with a K, we're going to give her a traditional family middle name that starts with K, and then name her after Great Aunt Kate? Sounds great!

I don't want to put the real name here but it's like Nolynn Folan. I went to primary school with a boy whose first name was Matty (not Matt or Matthew), which rhymed with his surname. A classroom full of 7-year-olds pretty quickly figured out that it also rhymed with 'fatty' and 'tatty' (slang for breast). He was chubby and a total mamma's boy, so the class made good use of these rhymes.

His name was Aaron, but everyone, teachers and staff included, called him Beamer as he was a tremendous Star Trek dork. This was largely because he felt that if you didn't pronounce it as Aaaaaaaaron then you were calling him Erin, which is a girl's name.

Most everyone here says "Aaron" and "Erin" the same, but my boyfriend, who is from New York, swears there is a difference and that he says them differently.

Hummingbirds posted:Most everyone here says "Aaron" and "Erin" the same, but my boyfriend, who is from New York, swears there is a difference and that he says them differently. They're almost the same to me, but I deliberately pronounce Erin with an "Air," so it kind of sounds like "errand." The "y" sound is still faintly there when I say Aaron but it's a lot more subtle. It's hard to explain.

I'm from Colorado and I say them differently? The first sound in Erin is like the word 'air', where Aaron is more of an 'ehr' sound.Content: There is a woman who comes through my store with the name Lacie Whyte. I wonder if she married into it, but it makes me giggle like an immature schoolgirl.

Here in Australia, they're completely different. Aaron begins with a sound like the A in 'cat', and Erin begins with a sound like the E in 'keg'. As a child, I was highly amused every time I saw an American film with a boy called Erin.

But we've all been over this derail before, so instead I'll mention that tonight my GF had dinner with a friend whose name is "Petar". Pronounced just like Peter. Probably common in other countries, but not in the US.

With that one I would assume he pronounces it like Peter to make it easier for English speakers. He's probably of Balkan descent.

The way the GF told me, his grandparents are Serbian, which explains the unusual spelling, apparently. They had the conversation because nobody here in the US ever pronounces her very German name, Anneliese, correctly on the first go.

I've been lucky enough to grow up with mostly normal named people. I've known a Summer, but that's not all that unusual. My favourite is Ringo Golden-Brown. I've also spoken to someone with the surname "Chrzaszcz" which I still have issues pronouncing. Another not horrible surname is Parmagos, which I always say as Parmigiana in my head. Back on the license plates, I have seen "C8LIN" driving around quite a bit. I like to think that her name is literally spelled Ceightlin. I have a fairly common first name, however my dad decided to add an extra "n" to the end, which meant that I could never buy mugs or pens with my name on them  (Roslynn instead of Roslyn).
