Well, my daddy left home when I was three. Didn't leave very much to my mom and me. Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid but the meanest thing that my daddy ever did was before he left, he went and named me Sue.

SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org · 3 pts · 142d

Would only be fair (and American) to Sue him for it.

Oh boy... These are real people.

  1. Drink Water Rivera: Very refreshing take on nomenclature but quite bland 8/20.
  2. Macaroni 85, Spaghetti 88, and Sincerely Yours 98 Pascual: As if someone stopped them from naming their kid after pasta because the username is already taken. 66.67/10 because they didn't commit all the way.
  3. Covid Bryant: Not quite Black Mamba, not quite the Black Death but still 8/10 or 24/30.
  4. Abcde Aeiou: Very educational A+/10
  5. Captain Philip Ines: Not quite the super soldier 19/40.

Just in case anyone hadn't heard this one before: Abcde is pronounced "Absidy", which is more of a real name.

Kitchenaid Whiskey Jones is an awesome name

FrChazzz@lemmus.org · 19 pts · 142d (9 replies)

My last name is Browning, like the gun manufacturer (distant relation). I used to joke that if I ever had boy/girl twins I would name them Colt Winchester (boy) and Biretta Glock (girl). I nearly got Colt for my youngest, but there were too many kids named Colton around.

I also really wanted to name my first son Charlemagne. This was because back in high school when we studied the Holy Roman Empire all the girls in class were talking about how Charlemange was such a beautiful sounding name. I figured that he'd have to put up with some shit growing up, but it would all pay off because not only would he wind up with a name that people loved to say, but he'd also be resilient and hopefully with a solid sense of humor.

My wife vetoed this nearly as soon as the ring was on her finger.

Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 142d (3 replies)

Jesus christ you're awful with names for your kids.

I hope you two didn't choose the name that has the beautiful meaning of "lightbringer" and end up naming one of your boys "Lucifer"

Here's an idea, one should not name kids after characters considered bad or evil. EVEN IF IT COULD BE INTERPRETED MULTIPLE WAYS.

Exusia@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 142d

You could sell Charlamagne as "Charles for almost anything except when he wants to show off"

hansolo@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 142d (3 replies)

These haters are idiots.

I have firearms-oriented first and middle names, and it's fucking awesome. Instant cred with people usually suspect of others, AFAIK never a negative issue. If I had met a young woman named Biretta Glock in high school or college, I think we would have been forced by everyone in America to get married in the spot.

Charlemagne Tha God proves you right. Though that's also a great Tomboy girl name, with Charlene or Charley for short. See "The Long Kiss Good Night" for further validation.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 142d (2 replies)

Long Kiss Goodnight is a criminally overlooked movie

hansolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 142d (1 reply)

My head canon is that it's the pilot project for the Bourne project. It's probably loosely based on the Bourne books from the 80s.

Criminally underrated is actuate. It's on my top 10 movies ever. Great writing, hitting all the tropes, Samuel L. Jackson in his prime.

She'd love Germany. Those names would be illegal over here.

Then again the law also explicitly states that you can name your kid any name that's normal for your heritage. I guess that means an American would be able to name their kid Kitchenaid because it aligns with their traditions.

I think labeling "Kitchenaid Whiskey Jones" as "borderline" is too lenient. "McKeinsleigh" I think is the borderline one. Marijuana Pepsi managed to make something of it – ironically writing her PhD thesis around it – but I would be thinking forwards and backwards about what a name I give could do to a living, breathing person their entire life (even if they get it legally changed).

1D10@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 142d

I've always told people pick a name for your child and unless there is a realy good reason don't name them after yourself. Then say the name out loud a few times, if you can see a respected doctor,CEO, and janitor having that name then you picked a good one. Middle names are free space and that's where you can be "quirky"

It's naming them for a supposed 'virtue' it may be hoped they possess.

Same deal as naming girls Grace, Charity, Faith etc. All are 'virtue' names.

I personally dislike it, but it's pretty well-established.

Told them anyone that wants to find me is gonna have to dig cause it's a super common first and last name.

Unless you have a super common last name, then just don't name your kids shit like Mike and John.
