Might have been a typo then, but there was a Gleen Green in the 1940 US Census: https://www.ancestry.com/1940-census/usa/Colorado/Gleen-Green_1g754j

S.M. Green was apparently the kind of motherfucker who names his son Gail, so he may well have named his other son Gleen.

Stott is doomed to a lifetime of saying "no, not Scott" because Scott wasn't fuckin' special enough for his idiot parents. Now he has a name that makes him sound like he has a speech impediment.

To be fair, that is how you make a good tamagoyaki. Which would be a better name.

Some "English" names from today: Junny Orange Diego -- so close, and yet so far...or mom's a big fan of Dora the Explorer. I'll find out tomorrow by yelling HOLA DIEGO!!! and blinking at him robotically.

Yeah...doesn't seem that odd even for a non-Hispanic country. I'm in Flanders and I'm pretty sure I remember there being at least one Diego in high school.

Yes, Diego is a normal name. It is not an English name. It was chosen by someone who is not Hispanic by any stretch, with no connection to anything even adjacent to Spanish culture, to represent themselves in English. That is why it was funny to me. I hope that's clear now, thank you.

I guess it doesn't stand out as much because it sounds like a "normal" name. But I guess it's just as weird as a Caucasian family naming their kid Yosuke or something.

I feel like I already posted this but I can't find it so whatever. Chinese English names are weird, but luckily I only really see adults so they've settled on fairly normal English names. My boss and his wife are from Fujian, and he goes by the very normal John, but I can't figure out why his wife chose Vickie, a name containing a sound she can't actually pronounce. There's also a Jimbo. the tiny middle-aged cantonese lady in the kitchen intentionally named herself after an anime character (Winly) and also owns

Got a customer whose name is Dan Hole. Even wears a nametag that says Dan Hole. Dan Hole. The customer's name that makes me the saddest is Anne Coulter. That's gotta suck the most.
