jojoinnit posted:Has Twilight been around long enough for kids named after it to be in schools and scout troops? Wiki tells me it was published in 2005, so there could be kids up to age 7 or so named after it. This thread makes me so glad that my friends and family have been pretty sensible with their naming, at least of the ones I've seen on facebook.

Watching Toddlers & Tiaras because I'm a horrible person, and one of the girls in this particular episode is named Saryniti. Pronounced Serenity. Her mother is Ca'Trina.

Silly Hippie posted:It's actually not a real name (Ophelia or Hermione or something, while pretty bad, would be passable), it's a sort of Frankenstein's monster of one. Imagine something along the lines of "Opheliette" or like... "Cordaline". (It's actually not that terrible, but I'm one of the first google results for my real name so sadly I can't post it).

For disease names that people actually use as a real name, there's always Candida, both a feminine given name and a genus of yeasts, including the one that gives us yeast infections, C. albicans.

Amoeba102 posted:Someone I know gave their child the middlename Melchior. Supposedly one of my earliest ancestors in the States on my dad's side had this name. Came over from Germany in the mid-1700s. He definitely existed, there's just some disagreement on the genealogy once we hit the Civil War era.

The Orange Mage posted:The Ballot (Rich White Republican) and the last one with the dog are local to me. We also have a bigass RV dealer over the Indiana border who used to advertise all the loving time. "Tom Raper RV" I used to have a friend in high school who had that last name. He was a pretty cool guy, but that name. TLC shows are probably fish in a barrel, but I was watching Toddlers & Tiaras on Netflix and there was a little girl named Faithlyn. Not even the worst name on that show, but ugh.

bringmyfishback posted:"Hisure it's mine!" ...? Ha, maybe. Bertrand Hustle posted:Google yields three Chinese companies making three different things in three different places: a biotech firm in Jinhua that manufactures histology products (so probably tissue samples and things like that), a PVC manufacturer in Qingdao, and a cable maker in Shenzhen. Yeah, that's what I'd found. I wouldn't have picked her for a Chinese industry super fan, or to get knocked up by one, but I also haven't seen her in nearly a decade so who knows?

stubblyhead posted:Pretty sure Chicago has more Polish people than Warsaw. I think you're joking, but Curious City, a feature from WBEZ (the Chicago NPR affiliate) did look into the question of whether Chicago has the most Poles outside Poland, and the answer is yes if you count the suburbs. For content, I was watching the ND State/Charleston Southern game last night, and the quarterback for ND State is named Easton Stick. I heard "Easton State" the first couple of times they said it and thought they were talking about another school.

King Possum III posted:When Prince Charles was born, Philip complained that he was the only man in the UK who couldn't give his children his name. Eventually, a consolation of sorts was arranged to soothe his feelings of irrelevance. From last page, but Mountbatten-Windsor was used by William when he and Kate sued in France about those topless pics of Kate.

jojoinnit posted:I know this guy quite well and wouldn't peg him as one of those people who lies to tell a good story (eg "no my mom works at a doctors so she knows La-a's mom") but I'm pretty sure this is one of those urban legend names right? It's fake, but not in an urban legend way. That's from the musical In The Heights (Lin Manuel Miranda's first Tony winner), Usnavi is one of the main characters and that's how he got his name.

Ha, I sort of wondered where LMM came up with it. The exact description in the image matches the description from the musical pretty exactly though.

Growing up we had three Maggies but not a lot of other duplicates that I recall, at least that actually went by the same name. There were a few I shared a first name with, but one went by her middle name, and the other two by first + middle (which it occurs to me I don't think I've seen anyone do since I left the south).

The head of the Texas House Election Committee, an rear end in a top hat Republican who has no idea what he's doing other than ramming racist election legislation through (but I repeat myself), is named Briscoe Cain, which exactly what he would be named in a bad novel.

There's a girl in my baby daughter's class at daycare named Mabel, to continue the cyclical name discussion from a few months ago. I think we should go all the way and bring back those puritan names that were just phrases. Gonna name my next kid Fly-fornication.
