THAT GOD DAMN MOSQUITO JUST KEEPS COMING BACK

Jerry Cotton posted:

This child attends scholae in Lugdunum.
His pater is irate because everyone is getting his child's name wrong.
He says it's pronounced "Firminus."

When the Pater was asked how in the world he figured
it should be pronounced that way, he said,
"quandoquidem minus non tacitus est!"
So, if you see a name come across your tabula like this,
please remember to pronounce the minus.
And if anyone axes you why, tell them it's quando minus non tacitus est!
They live among us, they vote, and they breed

As much as I hate to say it, how are you supposed to know if the - in someone's name is pronounced 'dash', 'minus', or even 'hyphen'?

This may seem rude, but I don't say SpiderhyphenMan or Marydashlou, so I'm not going to say the dash or hyphen or whatever in your name either.

Is Dijonnaise any good? I've never tried it. Not a mayonnaise fan in general, but I can see it being a tasty combo.

Might that have been Irraestro-Orrin at some point? (Irraestro is a normal name as far as I know.)

I don't even get what's the point of the original one. Did the couple have people vote? Or do I just not understand the innate need to share "things i almost named my child, but didn't."

I've been in my new insurance verification job for a few weeks now, and have seen some bizarre names.

Like Larsini. And Sailer (Yes, misspelled) Jerry.

Today, I saw one that made me just stop and stare at the screen. A name that's sure to make any child grow up to be a complete dick.

Yaw seems okay within limits. It's Dick Roll that would be uncomfortable.

Encountered a toddler named Herbert.

We also do custom bracelet engraving at work, so I get a lot of these quirky spellings and made up names. I'll have to start jotting them down. I remember Imajyn being one.
