TacticalUrbanHomo posted:I'm not sure whether the arabic name amon and the similar name of the egyptian god have a shared etymology or if one is descended from the other, and it wouldn't surprise me if that were the case, but what would surprise me would be if the genesis of the semitic name ammon was that some fringe section of arab society just decided to rip the name out of egyptian literature thousands of years after they ceased to have any relevance to their own culture Arabs appropriated Egypt wholesale... but not the names!

I think Tactical's point was that there was a gap of nearly 1000 years between the time worship of Amun died out and the time that the Arabs conquered Egypt so that kind of direct appropriation of ancient names isn't terribly likely, considering the Arabs probably had little to no knowledge of ancient Egyptian religion at that time.

Not short for Daniel or Danielle. Just Danny and my last name. Says so on my driver's license. I have received more mail calling me Daniel than by my actual name. I once knew a girl whose name was Becca. Not short for Rebecca. Yes I was born in the late 80s, how did you know?

If you're naming your kids after medicine at least have it be a good name like Brotapp

People are naming their kids some Game of Thrones character-mentioned-in-passing poo poo like 'Brandar' which is close enough to a real name to be infuriating but it sure as shootin' isn't a real name and those people belong at the bottom of a loving river.

I want to travel to Real Egypt and see hot Egyptian chicks with Cleopatra wigs and their titties out.

I'm not sure if that makes me Conrad Augustus VII or not since it skipped a generation, but I got so much poo poo as a kid. Being called Conbad and Disguistus in the 2nd grade is devastating. Still better than my poor baby cousin. Tanin.

I once met a redhead named Ariel who was born a couple years after Disney's Little Mermaid came out. I'm sure her parents thought they were being terribly clever. At least that's an actual name.

People ought to be more creative in naming their kids. "Leia" and "Anakin" are dorky doofus names and the kids will be forever scarred by all the easily-preventable bullying in their elementary school years, but even more egregious is the lack of inspiration and creativity. Every goddamned nerd names their kid after Star Wars characters. In middle school I knew a girl named "Asteracea." She told me she was named after the favorite flower of her grandmother (daisies belong to the family "asteraceae"). So that's kind of sweet I guess.

You seem to be missing the point that it wasn't the Arabs who annihilated that culture. It had already been annihiliated well before they got there. What the Arabs conquered was a province of the Byzantine Empire that had previously been conquered by Persians, before that Romans and a bunch of others. Not Amun-worshipping Ancient Egyptians. Those guys were long gone. Earwicker fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Jan 7, 2016 |

The foreign devil that must be driven back into the Empty Quarter is the beardy, unsexy monotheistic culture currently camped out in the Nile Valley.

The trick is to name the man, not the boy. Some of these cutesy nouveau names aren't so bad for bragging about your kindergartener, but for an adult, holy moly. Come to think of it, people naming their kids goofy poo poo probably only want a baby, a toddler, a small child. They don't think about the long term. And actually, I've been a legal adult for 13 years now and I never met anyone with kids that didn't say "Don't have kids." Goofy poo poo

Mainly, the cut-off line is beards with long hair and generally looking like a Lynyrd Skynyrd album cover. Pointy hats are also a disqualifier.

The whole workplace worked for weeks to convince her Jackson with the X was terrible and boom, baby Jackson.
