I am suspicious of some of those colours in the background

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

that’s racist

This is how you learn you're colorblind.

Damn fine color

Reminds me of Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck. She did her thesis on uncommon black names.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if she could keep the "tradition" alive in Germany. It has strict rules about what names you can give your child. But names that fit your heritage and culture are usually allowed.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It would totally be within american culture to name your child crystal meth

I went to school with her. Her maiden name was Jackson.

TBH her parents were (maybe still are) pathetic selfish people and she was kind of a holier-than-thou prude -- but way better than her parents.

Fun fact I worked a diesel workers union job where everyone got company uniforms with our surname on the breast pocket.

There was a crazy smart Chinese dude who worked there. His name was Long Dong. His shirt said "Dong" on it. Our undereducated Indiana co workers found this endlessly worth joking about

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I bet they would've joked even more if it also included name

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago

Oh, they knew his first name and did not hesitate to use it for their mirth as well

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

If his middle name wasn’t Duk, I will be severely disappointed.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Poor air didn't stand a chance...

[–] glibg10b@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Airwrecka? I hardly know 'er

[–] Tja@programming.dev 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What's the equivalent of /r/tragedeigh?

[–] black0ut@pawb.social 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I know we have !boneappletea@lemmy.world It's not about names, though

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

i used to read the idaho baby name roundup. the problem with tragedeigh is it never had enough Ys

how about myssgnohmehrs or something like that idk. I'm not entirely familiar with the history but using a real name (idk if tragdeigh is some poor child's) is in poor taste

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why didn’t her parents just name her “fart” if she’s an air wrecka.

[–] frog@feddit.uk 10 points 2 months ago

That's her nickname.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 18 points 2 months ago

PlaneCrasha McBride.

It’s kinda metal, every bit as metal as it is unusual.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Uncontrolled flatulence is a real problem people.

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

am I supposed to be able control it?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

at least a little, at first. like one would control a river if they were at a lever, and pulling that lever would stop the river from killing five blind toothless orphans with no toes (the river was going to club them like baby seals. and not going to be kind about it either the river is a real dick about it so please dear sentient pull that lever)

Coming to the ring , your world champion AIIIIIRRRRWREEEEEECKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.... Mc..... BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think "Arika" could work. Or maybe Awika.

But as someone who has a unique spelling of a common name myself, it sure makes things harder in life.

People say it wrong. Or write it wrong.

I have to spell it out all the time to others if I'm making appointments or something on the phone.

It's a real pain. Don't do that to your kids.

I once worked in a team that had both an Aaron and an Erin, and it was confusing for the Americans since they pronounce both names very similarly (in Australia we pronounce them differently enough to disambiguate). I think Aaron ended up being referred to as "A A Ron"

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I only have an extra letter. I think that’s why I’m not getting job interviews. they think I’m black.

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

This is what I call my fiancée when she lets a really nasty one rip

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

There do exist some parents who try to make their children's names more unique, sometimes to the point of absurdity.
