I'm sorry, guys! Saxon is a cool name with no inherent racist undertones unless I guess you are really mad about the 11th century or something, but of course white supremacists ruin everything.Lady Disdain posted:I can't have dairy I laughed way harder than any adult should have. Now, enjoy 33 really bad names. My favorite from this list is Hayydden or maybe Little Sweetmeat, which actually scares the poo poo outta me.

Stiffany and Elizabreth If you’re going to mangle a common name, at least make it so the poor kid can pronounce it normally and not have an embarrassing nickname already embedded in it.

Nygyl. I assume (Hope?) it was supposed to be pronounced like “Nigel”.

I ended up reading the comments on a youtube video and a dude commented to say he almost named his kid Trieze, after the Gundam Wing character. I'm choosing to believe it was weird poo poo posting.

I met her at some christmas party once. And ... yeh she was pretty similar.

Apparently Patricia Routledge, the actress who portrayed her, was a lovely woman though. But yeah, some things can hit too close to home. I knew a guy once whose antics and behaviour were incredibly similar to Ace Ventura, hence I didn't think the Ace Ventura character was funny in the slightest.

I've always liked Aptonyms , especially when they pop up in the wild. Some Swedish examples are: Sven Granath (Grenade) Criminologist and expert on explosives used by organised crime. Annika Winsth (Profit) senior economist at a big bank. Lisa Frost meteorologist and weather presenter.

A year or two ago there was a food scare around chicken eggs in the Low Countries, and the Dutch PR person of the poultry association was called Hennie De Haan ("Hen the Rooster"). I also had a teacher for Greek, Latin and French whose name was Frans Van Parys ("Francis of Paris", but 'Frans' also means "French" in Dutch).

I remember seeing a plaque with the Econ department graduate student of the year back in college, and the winner five years in a row was named Adam Smith. I wonder if he was really that great or if they just felt like they had to.
