In my highschool orchestra we had a Darwin Chen and an Angus Chen (no relation). I mean, those are actual names, but I can't help but laugh at them. They were both great players, as I recall.

I think the entire reason "Nimrod" became a synonym for "idiot" is because Bugs Bunny used it to mock Elmer Fudd. Nimrod was described in the bible as a "mighty hunter" but most people just heard it as a dopey sounding name.

Yeah, it's odd. My answer always seems to come down to stubbornness.
I went to school with a guy called William, who went by Bill. Not rude; no negative connotations. I understand using Bill at home if that's what your family has always called you, but I always wondered what kind of kid hits puberty and doesn't decide to swap Bill out for Will or William, at least at school.

I can't tell if this post is serious or not but I feel like "Bill" is about as anodyne as names get, why not go by that?

Uh... What is wrong with these names?

Actually, now that I write it down, why is it 'What is wrong' and not 'What are wrong'?

It's a list of names that would go well with the surname Jackalone.

I saw a sign for a guy running for a county office named Yxstian Gutierrez.

I have no idea if Yxstian is a form of Christian or how to pronounce it but that’s definitely a new one for me.

I read it as "Exist-ian". Good name for someone who exists.

I think people forget Colton Burpo is a real person because of this meme image that was popular a while back.



They remember that he's a meme with a funny fake name, but forget that Colton Burpo is actually his real name.

An acquaintance recently had a daughter and told me her name was Eritrea. Unusual! I quite like it though.

Until I learned it was spelled Erritreiyer.

This would be pretty cool if she was the evil conjoined twin of a girl named Eeethyoapeia or something.
