Getting my home invaded in 2035 by Lt. Brick Scoutly for not drinking my loyalty coca-cola filled with extra worm eggs and horse vitamins as issued by Lord King Nurgle Kennedy and the ramen-noodle mess of worms piloting his brain.

You picked three Celtic names to insult. What the fuck man

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Taking names (with meanings) from other languages and then calling them "bad scrabble hands" as if you're not just mimicking every Brit who is angry that our languages use their Latin letters in ways they don't like.

English names are all just jobs. Tanner. Weaver. Miller. Chandler.

I only like REAL english names like Æthelstan, Ælfflæd, Hyglac or Laȝamon

Hey now, English names can also be place names (eg Atwater, Beckham, Howe) or French (Beaumont, Granger, Romilly etc).

tbf Kyle means "a narrow sea channel", Aiden means "little fire", and Tristan means "noise" or "sad" (lol)

every name has a meaning, they aren't just random noises

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Woah. I just looked it up, and my name means something cool.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Tristan does not mean sad. Tristan is from Britonnic, it's not Latin. Although tbf at this point that's a millenia old mistake.

my name means handsome and it's proof of nominative determinism

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

They are mostly gaelic names pressed through a bazillion years of gallicization and Anglicization, of course people lose their OG context and miss the meaning. A lot of other cultures still have names where the og meaning is still evident.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I have heard that my entire life. Looked through books of names, and struggling to recal a time where any etymology was provided to suggest that the author didn't just make shit up.
