Blessica Blimpson sounds like a name that someone just made up, but they are just really bad at it.

I think Jarnathan would really appreciate this story.

I mean Jarnathan was actually the name of one of the judges though

True, but a lot of players feel that his absurdist name was a nod to DMs trying to come up with names at the last minute. I'll paste this comment from reddit, since I think the OP nailed the sentiment.

DM: "Alright, the parole council is led by Councillor So-and-so, and Ser Such-and-such is present as well. What do you do?"

Players: "Hey, didn't you mention an Aarakocra, what's his name?"

DM: "Uhhh..... John... I mean... Jarn...a...than? Yeah, Jarnathan!"

Sauce: down this comment chain

Ah fair enough, that sounds plausible and I might even have thought so myself at one point. I was thinking in context of the characters in the scene not the DnD game being played.

Sounds like a name from a parody planet Blearth.

Reminds me of Improvised Star Trek.

Omfg if i met someone named Blessica Blimpson i’m not sure i could contain my laughter.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tragedeigh. Blessica would be made fun of regardless of the last name. Name her Jessica and use Blessica as a cutesy moniker if you have to, but those idiotic names are just a recipe for disaster and should be considered child abuse.

My last name is Schmimpson and my daughter Schmessica has never complained.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Oh honey, the last name isn't the (main) problem...

This is why you have conversations about the weird shit you want to do before you get married.

Blimpson isn’t actually anyone's name though, right?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I actually knew a Blumpkin in college. Dude was chill as fuck but that name was hilarious.

Blessed 🙏 /s

Make her middle name Allison or Aimie or Anna.

That way she can either go by her middle name, or her acronym:

Bab(s).

... Until she either rewrites 'Boy Named Sue' or legally changes her name.

Sounds like from the book “Letters from a Nut”. Great and funny read!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Just divorce her.
