That's a good point, Incubator

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.

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.

Its like a whole gneration hasn't listemed to Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" ← (best Folsom Prison performance)

Kitchenaid Whiskey Jones is an awesome name

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).

I remember reading about some girls literally called 'undesired' on their language :(

Major Major Major

There was a golfer at Augusta national and her first name was Asterisk.

I wonder if their other children are named comma, semi colon, or parentheses?

My wife and I have received several compliments just for giving both of our daughters normal, pronounceable names. Names I don't see very often anymore, but perfectly normal before 9/11 altered the timeline and made everyone unbearably stupid.

Hot take for Zambia and parts of Zim and Namibia. Names there are wild. Things you see, aspirations, etc. Even other African counties find it hilarious.

I've personally met people named Nevers, as in short for "Never Again" having a baby. Also, Fuckson is a popular one. Even written in news.

Trevor Noah had old stand up about it.

Whisky Jones is a bad ass name though. That's either a porn star or a treasure hunter and I'm good either way

I mean, I’m Tanis, it’s rare but I like it.

Proceeds to name her son Richard

Peruvians take this to another level. There's a professional soccer player named Osama Vinladen, and his brother is Sadam Huseín

There's a town mayor election where the candidate Lenin lost to...eventual winner named after THAT Austrian artist

Rise of the Leighs and Dens

Parents use these names because it's the pique of their cleverness.

There is a clear socioeconomic divide between those who do and do not do this and it is exactly what one expects to to be.
