I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Maybe someone can explain this to me, but this Cambodian student's last name is apparently "E." Just "E," nothing else. He is literally Mister E.

I haven't seen that with any students before. I thought it was a mistake, but it's also here on his ID. Is that a common Cambodian thing, or is this still weird even with that in mind?

At the doctors, waiting to be called, and while that was happening the sign lit up to tell Rocker Steel the doctor was ready to see him. I assume it was the young boy who went, and not his mother who was there too.

Googling it, there are apparently several people with the last name Limongello, including a professional bowler in the 60's. It just sounds like a joke name.

Doing meta searches of my name, it appears that there is one other person on this planet with my same name. I find that to be very unusual. I expected either more than 2, or none others. I’m wondering if someone else is using my identity, or if its a clerical error or fluke.

By my hand, I will take you from this godforsaken internet
One of my good friends is named Yehia, which is totally normal in Arabic but apparently completely unpronounceable for like 90% of Americans and 100% of the Chinese folks we work with. Our boss's wife calls him Yeehai and laughs all the time that she just can't get the hang of it (she's first-gen Chinese, as is Boss). He'll admit that it anglicizes to John if someone asks, but otherwise I think he gets a perverse pleasure out of people being unable to pronounce his name.

In what I know of Romance languages through Spanish, y can be pronounced j. Not sure why the gi isn't being said unless it is being intentionally dropped like in a nickname.

There were more girls born in 2016 in the UK called "Khaleesi" than "Claire" - and Khaleesi isn't even a name in Game of Thrones, it's a title.
UK gov't has some downloadable stats and some of the more popular names are just baffling.
