Philthii Rich. I'm almost disappointed his new brother has a normal name.

Harm Lagaay. Man is a great designer (porsche 924, 968, 993, Carrera GT, and the BMW Z1), but that name is unbelievable. And could probably qualify as hate speech.

Grossweiner is special, because if you know what gross means in German, you can interpret it as "big dick" and be proud of it, but most Americans don't so we all imagine the male equivalent of bluewaffle.

There is a girl in one of my classes named Simply. In another class, there is a boy named Kurly (Kurlie? I'm not sure of the spelling). Every time their names are called out for attendance, I wonder how they feel about it.

My last name is Bicht. In sixth grade we had a substitute teacher that was handing out report cards, got to mine and said "Who's a bitch?"

I was talking to some friends today about weird last names/unfortunate last names to have when joining the Navy. I knew a Seaman Lake, a Seaman Bagg, and a Seaman Blood. Also my best friend knew a girl with the last name Drunkenbroad (pronounced Drune-kin) which is actually kind of awesome. My ex knew a girl in the Air Force with the last name Fightmaster, and Cracked listed a guy named Staff Sgt Max Fightmaster as one of the manliest names in the world. I'd agree it's like the best last name ever, except when I looked into it, it had something to do with trees.

I'm somewhat acquainted with a guy named Vincent Guerrero, which literally means victorious warrior. I don't think it gets much more  than that.

Like if you had just posted that without context, I would have assumed he was a pro wrestler or particularly violent rugby player.

I was thinking of course he's a very successful real estate agent, he knows if he doesn't work as hard as he can in a completely unrelated field, Nintendo's going to find him and drag him back to a Punch-Out game

They were all "Sorry, Punch, your name is awesome, but your special 'sock-a-lingam' move is neither original nor family-friendly. We're gonna have to let you go.", then offered to help him get professional training as severance.

Mindy Kaling's real last name is "Chokalingam," which makes me think of choking a lingam, which makes me think of hand jobs, and Mindy Kaling would probably be horrified if she ever heard someone say that.

Dovahkiin, for a Bethesda sponsored contest to win a lifetime's supply of Bethesda games. But who would want a lifetime supply of buggy garbage anyway?  Easily the worst part of this contest is the original blog post that started it: Bethesda posted:"Any reward for completing this quest will not ultimately justify the potential teasing your child could — and probably will — endure over its lifespan. Bethesda Softworks is not responsible for your parenting. You may gain experience points for completing this quest, but you will not care at 3am on a work night. Completion of this quest may also result in decreased desire to play video games and/or function as a human being. Consult with your friends before embarking on this quest; while it may not start in prison, it probably ends there." Bethesda outright explains that it's probably (definitely) not a good idea to name your child that, for various reasons, and yet they start the contest anyway.  It's loving insidious.

Just because they recognise that people are stupid doesn't mean they shouldn't cash in on it. There are entire industries built solely upon the stupidity of the general populous. Well they clearly don't love her that much.

I wish I could post some of the names of people I see on forms at work. Or better yet the weird names of their businesses. I knew a Sterling Zipper in high school, though, which will never be topped by anyone ever. Also, regarding "root" and Australia: my grade once had an Australian exchange student. The day we met I was wearing a tee shirt bearing the logo, varsity-sports style, of old, beloved Canadian clothing brand Roots. He was not impressed. strangemusic has a new favorite as of 03:55 on May 23, 2014 |
