My brother used to work at an art school and he was in charge of admitting foreign students, checking their credentials, etc. He also read the application letters. There was a prospective student from a country in West-Africa who, in his cover letter, thoughtfully included he did volunteer work with "depraved communities". Bro had a sensible chuckle about that one.

my youth pastor made the same mistake

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Last time I googled it, I read that the name Fanny actually originated in England itself, and was popularized there in the 18th century. But the word refers to genitals in British slang. I am having trouble reconciling these two claims.



I wouldn't say Fanny is a particularly common name in Flanders, I think that's more of a francophone thing (one of my former coworkers from Wallonia was named Fanny), but there is a character in one of the longest-running Flemish comic book series who is called that. Suffice it to say it does not have the same connotations over here.



She is, however, and of course, a blonde teenager with a perfect figure who is constantly put into revealing outfits for contrived reasons. This is a comic for children. I never thought about it lol

quote:

Fanny is a feminine given name. Its origins include diminutives of the French name Frances meaning "free one", and of the name "Estefanía", a Spanish version of Stephanie, meaning "crown". [citation needed]

The popularity of the name has been steadily declining since the end of the 19th century.[1] In British English, fanny has been a slang term for vagina or vulva since the 1830s. In American English, fanny is a slang term for the buttocks in use since World War I.[2] In New Zealand, the Registrar of Births will no longer accept the name for a baby's birth certificate.[3]

Jorma means wang
Urpo means idiot
Antti coupled with any surname beginning with Hi- spoonerizes into the thing Hercule Poirot is allergic to
and yet these names are quite common.

Just because something is a bad word doesn't mean people don't hoist it on their kids as a name.

I posted about it in the PYF Historical Facts, but I think it merits posting here:

There is a model named Lucky Blue Smith. His sisters are named Cheyenne Starlie, Daisy Clementine, and Pyper America because their parents wanted to make up for them having the most basic boring last name. He has apparently also decided to do that, because his children are named Gravity Blue, Rumble Honey, Slim Easy, and Whimsy Lou.

Has Nick Cannon had any kids recently? Even Legendary Love is better than Slim Easy.

edit: apparently Elon Musk's newest twins are Strider and Azure, which proves that Grimes is most of the issue with the kids' names.

I like the selection of names that were allowed:

"Officials had blocked Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit, he said, but Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence and Midnight Chardonnay had been allowed."

In my mind those three are siblings
