That gets you, but not Gray-Denim?

Imagine if the entire family was named for products you'd find at a JoAnn Fabrics.

Gray-Denim, Buttons, Pattern, Interfacing, and Jeff.

Her name is Silke Schoenfleisch-Backofen. Her last name translates roughly to "nice meat oven". So that's something, I guess.

As a woman, "nice meat oven" is pretty much the highest compliment you can receive.

The architect my company uses is a guy named Jasmine.

I had never met him, only saw the name mentioned in emails and stuff over the years. I very recently had a way too long conversation with him without knowing who he was (I assumed he was the contractor for the renovations we were talking about) and only found out when he introduced himself to someone else.

It took me until embarassingly late in my life to realize that Basil the name and basil the spice are pronounced differently, and that the name people kept pronouncing "Bazzle" was in fact "Basil"

Cayenne may be expensive car overlap, but I hope not cause thats a good spice and deserving of name status.

I forgot what thread I was in and thought this is a survey result.


In case no one read about this yet: Marvel's new EIC, who is white, used a Japanese name when writing a number of manga-influenced Marvel comics in the early 2000s.

Had a dude at the bar yesterday named Marc Cram. Perfect palindrome name.

Also there was a young lady today named Brogan Dinger. Which would've been weird for a dude but was especially weird for a woman.

"Brogan Dinger" sounds like an Australian stereotype character from the 1980s.

Akira is a real and pretty common name so it's more like calling yourself Ben after seeing the movie Ben. Like it was a lazy and unnecessary choice but Akira Yoshida is more of a Ben Smith type name than a Cheeseburger Schwarzenegger.
