Ask Lemmy

He used to throw killer parties with many jugs of beer and all the figs you can eat (which is usually about 4 until he starts threatening you to save some for others). Not sure how he makes so much in the copper shipper/receiver industry.

Sorry i'm apparently super careless, i wrote the second part first lol. I'll change it

I'm actually the only person that has it (except for 2 other people)

Unless my math is wrong, 3 people with the same name doesn't make you the only one. Make it make sense! 

Is it... Highlander?

Plz update when it's down to two.

damn now I wanna know.

I love calling various Lizzies "Lizard." And Sally is short for 'Salamander.' Bill is short for 'Billiards,' ¹ Leo is short for Leopard and maybe Lee is short for Leezard as well. Penny is short for Penguin.

That said, we do have a lot of funny animal first names.

• Arthur, Bjarni, Ursula and Orson all mean 'bear.'
• Robin and Robyn
• Rudolph is a type of wolf
• Rana means "beautiful" until you go to a spanish speaking country, where it means 'frog'

James laughs at Robert

You can be James when you meet the king, Jimmy to your mates or jimbob when you want to be a tool. Jane if you want to be female, though not a lot of good songs about Jane. Like the band Janes's addiction or Janey's got a gun

I like Zod

Alexander and Catherine are both great, but so is Peter.

Draco Malfoy

This can also have the opposite effect. There are a number of cases where the wrong person has been arrested simply for sharing a name with someone else that has a warrant for their arrest.

but is it sillian or murderillian

Pronounced as if you're pointing out some tie fighters on the horizon.

When I was a baby punk I was an insecure try-hard and got dogged on for it by the older punks. I was bequeathed a nickname that while not a total insult, was not the best and sort of an inside joke about my desperation to be “punk”. A lot of those older punks left the scene in their early 20s, but I kept on and discovered that people I didn’t know knew me by that name even if they didn’t know it was originally an insult. It’s still with me 30 years later, simultaneously cringe because it’s so, so “nehhh, PUNK ROCK!” sounding, but at the same time, punk as fuck and kinda badass. Overall it’s been a positive experience, but knowing its origin helps keep my ego in check when I lean too hard into “punker than thou”.

Yes, and I actually have a mental list of names (for my hypothetical children) that I wouldn't touch with a flagpole because of bad experiences with people of those names. Just feels tainted for me. Can be fixed by meeting a good person with that name. There's one name where everyone I've met with it - like five different people - has been an asshole.
