That's pretty much the equivalent of naming your child "shithead" and then going "nuh-uh, it's pronounced shi-theed!!" to the doctors trying to take them away from you.

I'm going to name my children and possibly the children of other people if possible Gaius Copronymus. Maybe some adults too also as well.

Where I'm from, Casey (and all variations), Lachlan, Eden, and any diminutive of Michael (not including the name Michael itself) were the ones to watch out for.

I'm fairly certain you don't know what diminutive means :tipshat: Unless there are folks called Michaelette or something.

All my coworkers have been sharing our middle names, since a bunch of us have our middle initials on the schedules for some arbitrary reason. Most of 'em are fairly standard, but one guy's middle name is Renwick (REN-ick). I thought it was cool.

It's fun to go the Family Search website and type in any word as a first name, ask for an exact spelling and see how ridiculous you can get. For example, I just typed in Victrola. There were/are a handful of people named Victrola. Lucifer? Several of them, with an interesting example of a Louisiana family with sons named Lucifer and Heafen which I bet is a bastardized spelling of Heaven.

I would've thought heathen.

On an unrelated note, I also support forced sterilization and confinement to work camps for people who name their child Feline, or Diezel, or any random noun from a language that is not their native tongue, or any random noun from a language that is their native tongue, and for anyone who has seventeen children with the same name, such as "George."

Like 100% or more of names are originally just random words from different languages.

Today I learned that Manute Bol's son is called Bol Bol and while there's absolutely nothing wrong with that I think the reason Manute Bol died is god smiting him for not naming his son Basket.

There was a guy in my home town who was left with the mental capacity of a 5-year-old after a jack slipped and the car he was working on fell on his head. His surname was Slow. (Or Slowe, or Slowwe, or something, but pronounced Slow).
I never met him before the accident, but apparently he wasn't the nicest guy.

Yeah it sounds weird, then you remember that the name Scott doesn't sound weird at all. Though living in Scotland, I don't think I've met a single dude called Scott. Pretty common back in Canada though.

Yes well in "Western" history you didn't usually name someone for their heritage if they were local because what would be the point then? (Although there's a fuckload of Suomalainens in Finland for some reason.)
