I talked to a man named Beer Warts the other day on the phone. His username in my company's records was abeerwar, which is pretty cool.

Looking at some school rosters for work and I came across a Korea, a LaQueen, several Mavericks, a Christ, and one Claudnardson.

In sixth grade I was friends with a Maverick. That was his middle name. His first name was Joffrey.

Got a cousin whose name is Harley Davidson. Harley's actually his middle name, as his mom flatly vetoed it being his first name, but he's gone by it since he was a kid and I doubt half the family actually remembers his first name. I sure don't.

American Idol also had a guy named Rontarius (aka Big Ron aka Big Sexy). Still not as good as Barkevious Mingo and his brother Hughtavious. Those guys sound like Mad Max characters.

That was the joke behind the joke. In the full Key and Peele they talk to the audience about the sketches before they show them and they talked about that.

You can't do something like this and then not stick with it. This is almost as bad as that Mountain Dew contest that had the winners be Hitler Was Right and Gushin' Granny which they just skipped over to pick whatever name they wanted.

Sorry, I tried going back a few pages to find who originally posted it to give credit and didn't have any luck, but the 2014 Name of the Year thing has had me giggling for like the last week. It's not even really fair to post in this already pretty awesome thread, it's like a cheesecake that's just too rich.

Basically they pair up names that they have been submitted and can verify are real, and have people vote on the winner, who goes up against winners from other brackets, etc. Winner this year was one Shamus Beaglehole, the write-up is also pretty fantastic:

quote:

Let's recap the Chesterfield footballer's meteoric rise through the Sithole regional and beyond. He breezed past Wubbo Ockels in the first round of the tourney. He stomped Jazzmar Clax in the second. Sweet Sixteen: Diesel Daigle went down hard. All fine and good -- seeded at #3, all these wins were to be expected.

But the next two matches put Mr. Beaglehole on the map as a kingslayer. The Sithole final pitted him against top-seeded Dr. Loki Skylizard, whom he dispatched by a margin of 300 votes. Next came another one seed, Bulltron champ Curvaceous Bass, who also fell to Shamus. After running this gauntlet, the final round against Chrotchtangle upstart Chillie Poon was child's play. If David took out two Goliaths, he might be this impressive.

They go back for years, for example, from this 2009 lineup I particularly liked:
Taco Vandervelde
Iona Knipl
Muffin Lord
Jazzario Barrios
Infinite McCloud
DeMarvelous Carter
Nutritious Love
Willie Wham
Barge Upender
Kermit E. Trout Jr.
Cherish Frankenstein
Hung The Dang
Chuck Fugger
Virginia Woo-Raspberry

There was a government minister in the UK who was born plain old Andrew Adonis, but was created a peer and became Lord Adonis.

He was Secretary of State for Transport, which is possibly the least sexy of all the Ministries.

Actual content: a classmate of mine had the name Charisma. It was not a case of nominative determinism.
