Is your kid's teacher a Mormon? Because they do that poo poo here a lot, except then they also have 8 kids. The gigantic-expanding-brain.jpg ones give them all similar middle names too, so you have 8 kids with the same loving initials.
She's Catholic, so no easy excuse/explanation for the naming scheme, although she may very well be going for a whole baseball team of kids. Otherwise, she's just a general dumbfuck who names kids about as well as she teaches them.

I feel bad for her husband Patrick, though it's not the first time a little P ruined something.

From a bit ago, but if he became best friends with a kid named Blake they could call themselves Blake and Tan.

I would totally name my kid Titan then be massively ashamed of him when he grows up to be a short skinny nerd just like his old man.

My oldest stepbrother was a state-champion wrestler, and named his firstborn son Tank. I swear he chose his wife to breed the most tank-like Tank possible. My stepbrother is now the school districts wrestling coach, Tank has a mohawk and is a size and a half larger than any other 8th grader.

oh the wife and i ordered some "shake fries" from a steak house in okinawa because we were like "they're making a big deal out of these shake fries and they're kinda expensive, gotta see what that's all about"

turns out it's just regular fries with some spice stuff on them but what happens is they have a "shake girl" who has big* boobs and a low-cut top, and she comes over to your table with a paper bag full of fresh fries, dumps the spice on them, and then leans over your table and goes "SHAKE-A SHAKE-A SHAKE! SHAKE-A SHAKE-A SHAKE!" really loud for like five goddamn minutes while she bounces up and down with your fries and the whole restaurant turns to see who the perverts are

Speaking of bad names like Titan, I know a woman with a kid named Teancum (pronounced Teen cum). Last name? Young.

Teancum Young. She's thinking of getting married to the father too, which would make the kid's name Teancum Young-Neibors

Yes.

1 or fewer, so there might not be any. It's to prevent unique identification, I think. The Danish equivalent used to say "2 or fewer" and they know with 100% certainty since we're all in a big old database.

Does Denmark have something similar to your bros over in Iceland where you’re all cousins anyway? Naturally not quite on the same scale since you’re a few times bigger than them?

Not really. My brother to school with a 3rd cousin once removed, and my other brother went to school with a 4th cousin, but we only knew this because that part of the family was close.

The reason Iceland needs that is because its an island far away from everything, while Denmark sits pretty close to one of the more densely populated parts of the planet, and has been receiving immigrants from most of Europe since the vikings. Iceland meanwhile hasn't seen any real migration since that time.
