They take any sustained eye contact as a threat. *hisses, puffs up, skitters off into the vents* (Yeah, it sucks to be introverted as so many jobs nowadays are being aimed as public facing jobs, but geez.)

Out of curiosity, how long ago was it that this sort of "white trash" (for lack of a better description) name became common? I feel like these sorts of names weren't common 20 years ago.

Found on the facebook of one of my co-workers. The first reply was, "I find it in the last few bites of a 12 oz KC strip" which made me chuckle. So... there's that.

Then they'll bitch for the rest of their lives about how they can never find the "right" spelling of those names on cheap gift shop trinkets. I work in a gift shop and I hear that complaint every goddamn day.

We did business with a guy named Weasel Strychnine (I think he fronted a band, but that was his actual name in the business world, as well), and with a guy named Goy Messiah. I personally interviewed Porsche Mercedes Datsun.

And on the flip side of things, you got my parents who actually gave their children names that would be reasonably easy to use outside of Sweden. I'm obviously gonna name my son THX-1138 but then again, I never get laid, so don't feel sorry for him. He'll never exist.

One person provided photographic evidence of children being saddled with stupid names, and I listed three very real name that I am personally aware of. Putting personally in italics won't rewind time and make me never have met those people. None of the unusual names listed on this page smacked of that, "Chlamydia! Can you believe that?" poo poo where the implication is that [insert minority group] are so ignorant they're using diseases and punctuation in their kids' names.
