I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

One of the art projects at the school last night's toy drive was hosted at was credited to "Jnya." That was typed on a card, not written by the kid, so I have to assume it's the legal spelling.

Not Blade Foreman? I also liked Atlas Willuweit because I read the last name as a question.

Just met a woman called Phan Thi Bich. A fine (Vietnamese ?) name, I'm sure, but when English-speakers say it, it sounds like they're saying Fancy Bitch with a lisp.

There used to be a restaurant near me called Pho Bich Nga. People just loved asking people to go there.

Actually Spornstarr won the Name of the Year competition which inspired (and is linked on) that page.

That one has some positively amazing names, including this year's winner, Shamus Beaglehole, who in my view stole the title from its rightful possessor Dr. Loki Skylizard.

Thread favorite Airwrecka McBride was eliminated by Chillie Poon in the first round. Holy poo poo I'm going to get lost on this site and laugh myself sick.

I want to leave my mind blank, but I'm terrified of what will happen if I do
Was at a thing recently and saw a girl about 9 or 10 writing on a chalkboard "M...Y...N...A...M...E...I...S...G...R...A...C..."

At which point, I thought "Oh, okay, a girl named Grace. A bit out there, but not exactly unknown."

She then finishes "...Y...N."

Her name is Gracyn. :eng99:

I know someone who's first name is Candida. As in yeast infections. She gets really defensive and tells everyone it means white in spanish, which it may very well, but she is white as hell.

My cousin and his wife named their kids Tazlun and Nixen. Tazlun is a combo of their friends two kids names.

I have another cousin who's kids are named Ethan and Nathan. Sigh.

My brother in law's nephews are Tavian and Koen.

I work in healthcare, and I have to call out a million names a day. Now and again I get really weird ones. I once had a patient who's last name was pronounced gently caress. I tried to say it quietly and to alter the emphasis, but the patient couldn't hear me in the busy waiting room, so I had to call it more loudly, and then I got corrected on my pronunciation.
