Making fun of black people names is so ingrained that I think a lot of people sincerely don't know how racist they are being.

So misspelling a common white person name is what counts in this thread?

I know white people named Malachi, Michaelea, & Theodore. One of my friends will give his son the middle name of Merlin.

Personally I like classical antiquity names. Caesar, Hannibal, Hadrian, Athena, Persephone, Helen(a), Agamemnon.

Especially when it hits the fever pitch of "my mom's friend's sister's neighbor's cousin is a nurse, and she delivered twin black babies named Orangejello and Lemonjello CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!"

Even crazier when someone claims they know the person who personally witnessed it. They want it to be true so badly.

Pie-eyed woman living in a van with one flat tire, high all the time, slurring, full back unfinished tattoo she's trading handjobs for to her neighbor 200 yards away who lives in a half-buried school bus. Handjobs turn into immaculate conception, I guess, because suddenly, before her back tat is finished, along comes a very special boy named

What constitutes "California Justice?" Being excessive in regulations? Being bilingual? Having a cool top but a hot bottom?

Living in the back of an old garbage truck, Corey grew his hair long and painted his toenails. Raised in a hardcore S.C.U.M. commune, he'd had a hard time as a little boy. His many mothers left his testicles intact, however, and in time he managed to impregnate a 300-pound paranoid schizophrenic. Hark! The angels sing for baby

Their conclusion that stupid people give their kids dumb names isn't really groundbreaking or controversial. It just makes people uncomfortable to admit that sometimes, people are just idiots.

Just take a random boys name and give it to your girl. Boom, instant nouveau millennial poo poo.

Eventually, girls will all be namedPeter and Jason and Frank. Parents will have to start naming their boys things like WarDog and Improvised Explosive Device.

basically yeah. iirc its takes what it thinks peoples assumptions are (dumb names hold you back in life) and expounds on it by saying that it isnt dumb names that hold you back but instead its coming from a household that would give a kid a dumb name. its kinda a truism i guess

A friend of mine recently griped about her friend Allyson's baby shower invitation, which specified that it was a potluck but please do not bring anything with gluten, nuts, cheese, chocolate, nitrites, sulfites, MSG, etc. etc. Which is basically the most millennial thing ever, but if my name were spelled Allyson, I'd be a loving mess, too.

Hebrew/Judeo-Christian names or gtfo, also its cool to look for name patterns among ur ancestors and keep the tradition going

plus they actually mean something and it's usually cool as gently caress (compared to dumb rear end native american names)

The name Mary is a Hebrew baby name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Mary is: Wished-for child; rebellion; bitter

The name Michael is a Hebrew baby name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Michael is: Who is like God?

The name Jacob is a Hebrew baby name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Jacob is: He grasps the heel.

The name Daniel is a Hebrew baby name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Daniel is: God is my Judge.


see what i mean?

Romance language names are the same thing but sometimes they sound much cooler! However - pls don't go naming ur kid Antonio if they are sans any Latin blood and so on

Michael is also one of the greatest names for identifying morons due to misspelling, there are a few other names like this but that prob the prime example due the popularity and frequency of loving it up.

I had a great grand uncle named Ambrose, which was derived from the Greek name Ambrosios meaning "immortal" according to google...despite this such a name today would really be best used as a middle name if at all
