I know I've mentioned a few kids that my friend teaches in Thailand who have bizarre names. I'm not sure if I posted this one yet, but the most recent name to stand out is Jelly.

Yup. Good luck ever being taken seriously with a name like Jelly...

I know a Geli, pronounced Jelly. It's a pet form of Angelica, but it's my friend's full name.

I read it as Sixvuh-LIEthan, where the IE is pronounced like the second syllable of leviathan. I'm going to assume the sx isn't pronounced sex because that's just too dumb for me to handle right now.

There was actually a dude named Buttram who became sort of famous in the last century for being typecast as a random yokel in cowboy movies; his last big role was as one of the random yokels in the saloon in the last Back To The Future movie




He also did a lot of work in animated features

I gotta admit, I want to write a pulp novel about characters named Rusty Justice and Billie-Jo Skeleton. I just have to figure out whether they'd be rivals, lovers, or both.

I'm also pretty fond of Burm Snart for basically being a real-world version of those Wayne Gretzky shitposts in this thread.

One of my close friends teaches at a private school in Thailand. She tells me some of the names of her students and they're frankly usually hilarious and awesome.

Some of my favourites:
Latte
GunGun
PP
Jet Lee
Jelly
Nutt Nutt
Whern
Singha (which she tells me is a brand of beer there...?)
Marwins
Ksenia
Princess

I just...I can't imagine holding a little human in my arms for the first time and deciding their fate is to go through life as PP or GunGun or Latte...

This is almost two months old, but Thais choose these nicknames themselves. I've known an "Xbox" and a teacher of my acquaintance had students who were brothers who went by "Tennis" and "Ball".

Singha (pronounced "Sing") is a mediocre Thai beer as stated, which comes from the Sanskrit word for "Lion", which is kinda badass.

Company I work for has "Dat Ho" (apparently pretty common name), a guy called "Blade" and a Finnish guy with the initials KKK

Lt. Charlene Sprinkle-Huff, Muna Tuna, Bevis Mugabi, Duffy McSwiggin, Jasmine Albuquerque-Croissant, Onno Hoes, Charol Shakeshaft*, Tchaikovsky Cantalicio, Jerusalem Monday, Furious Carney, Oozi Cats, Dr. Kim Nazi... so hard to choose.

*Charol Shakeshaft is an educational researcher noted for her studies on sexual abuse of students by school staff

Fanny is, or used to be, a fairly common name in English-speaking countries (apparently short for Frances) and I even think its usage in other countries mostly derives from English. But I guess it turned into a slang word in the meantime.
