Istari posted:My mum had a friend who named her first 2 kids after their birthplace (Sydney and Paris, I think), and planned to name all her kids in this way, until she unexpectedly went into labour with her 3rd child (a girl) in Wellington. Her 4th kid was born in Scone. Wellington III, perfect for that aristocratic touch.

Dogfish posted:My sister is named Esther. She's in her 20s. She's named after my aunt Esther, who is dead. Why yes, we are Jewish, why do you ask? I was about to say, Esther is a somewhat common name for [young] people in the Low Countries. Old people in Flanders all have French names like Yvonne, Fran¢ois or Antoinette. Baby boomers have names like Els, Hilde and Eric/k. You have a fairly good chance of guessing the generation that someone belongs to based on their first name.

All on Black posted:This isn't great, but it's not like it's made up. It's the Italian and Spanish form of Aurelius, as in Marcus. My niece has the feminine form of that name as well, which happens to have been the name of Julius Caesar's mother. I had the same reaction and immediately thought of proud POC Marcus Aurelius. With Americans, just assume that 'white' is perfectly synonymous with 'Anglo-American' and things will start making sense.

Fanny is, or used to be, a fairly common name in English-speaking countries (apparently short for Frances) and I even think its usage in other countries mostly derives from English. But I guess it turned into a slang word in the meantime.

Jerry Cotton posted:In 200 years Americans will be reading history books and going "hey look at this dude he was called John what the gently caress kind of name is that?" Just kidding there will be no Americans in 200 years. Or books. I do assume Americans are quickly getting used to the new wave of names. I don't remember them ever saying Hayden Panettiere has a stupid first name even though it's one of those randomly generated -aden/aiden names.

Astrofig posted:I met a woman whose last name is Orphan today. Her children were all Orphans. Very likely means her patrilineal ancestor was literally an orphan. I don't know, I kind of like those surnames, I always imagine some abandoned child born in 1750 or whatever beating the odds to make something of his life and start a family.

jojoinnit posted:You could probably trick me into thinking half of those are normal Dutch names though. I don't think I'd be fooled by Tippie-Topper but throw in some umlauts and a reasonable suffix and you'd probably have me there. Umlauts are rare in Dutch. I read Laserjet's post and was thinking Milan is probably considered weird by Anglos, too. It's been popular in Flanders as well for a while now. I have no idea where it comes from.

There's a porn star named Veruca James but I guess that doesn't mean it's not a weird name e: oh and the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character, probably should have thought of that first.
