There's an Elsa at day care who is just slightly older than Frozen and her mom is really bummed out about it because now everyone just assumes that's where it came from.

One of the teen moms from MTV named her second daughter Remington Monroe Simms. Unrelated, Michaela pronounced Mi-Shay-La.

Tonight at work I waited on a perfectly lovely adult woman named Cinnamon Baker. Honestly with such a delightful name you're pretty much required to be charming.

I liked this name for my middle daughter but couldn't get my husband on board. Fits a girl better, I think, but probably would have still been worthy of this thread.

As far as I know it's a welsh name or something and both sides of my family tree have been in Australia since the first settlers so it was definitely my parents wanting to be "different". My sister is named Kirby. She was born after the game series with the male character came out.

Dogfish posted:Last name first names are a really big thing right now. Grayson, Harrison, Hamilton, Jackson and endless spelling variants thereof. My boss has two sons who follow this pattern: Hudson and Harrison. I'm not sure they deserve to be in this thread, but I'm still not sure how I feel about their being kind of... matchy. (At least they're not twins?)

I feel awful about the circumstances, especially since they consider her to be in grave or immediate danger, but Amber Alerts tend to be where I get my names from. That's how I found A'Million back in May

Watching the news tonight, I learned that the superintendent for a local school system is named Dr. Dallas Dance. Which is a pretty rad name, tbh, but it made me laugh so I'm putting it here anyway.

It's always weird to me when suffixes go beyond Junior. By the time you hit IV, I think it's less a namesake and more "This name is common in my family."

Story time: My college's CS department had a custom Linux command-line program called "floor" that gave you an ASCII map of one floor of the CS building, and the username of whoever is logged in to each of the computers on the map. In effect, you could see who was logged in and where. It was a useful tool if you needed to see where your friends were all sitting, or where there was an unused area for privacy, or if you needed to find a particular person, or if you had forgotten what someone's name was. I used it when I was bored because (a) I'm kind of nosy and (b) I liked to look around and see all the usernames. You couldn't pick your own CS username unless you were a grad student, and sometimes the IT department assigned people some particularly dumb-sounding names. When I found one that sounded particularly weird, I liked to use the "finger" command to see what that person's actual name was and how it got contorted to make a funny-sounding login name. "dang" was Dan Grossman; "cbaldass" was Chris Baldassari; "socko" was actually, unbelievably, a guy named Stan Ocko; etc etc etc (names slightly altered for Internet reasons) One day I found that someone's username was "dongbo." I giggled at that for a few seconds; it called to mind a longbow made entirely from dongs, or one built to fire dongs instead of arrows, or both of those things at once. What was this name that had somehow had the misfortune to be abbreviated into such a silly-sounding word? Daniel Ongborgstein? Donald G. Borland? Turns out the guy's name was just Dong Bo. I saw that and immediately felt racist. loquacius has a new favorite as of 16:32 on Nov 20, 2015 |
