Can't remember if I've posted this before but sometimes at my work I spot the family name 'Lickfold'. Also 'Wellbeloved' but that's kinda nice.

Yeah it's like how 'spaz' reads as horribly offensive in the UK but, at least until recently, Americans think nothing of it. Just one of those things. Sorry you're dealing with that, Fleta.

I dunno I kind of don't hate Tequila. There's a family in my hometown called Lickfold.

What's wrong with Poppy? All those flower names are coming back into fashion, we have a crop of em in my family. Best surname around my town is Lickfold.

PureRok posted:There's other ways to pronounce Anna? I can't figure it out, but I've never seen Frozen, so I guess my brain hasn't been broken yet. You can pronounce the first vowel sound as a short A or a long one.

dirby posted:"Long A" usually refers to the diphthong vowel sound in a word like "rain", which is neither "the ash vowel found in the usual American pronunciation of Anna" (sometimes called "short A") nor "the vowel used in the pronunciation of 'Anna' in Frozen, which is close or identical to the vowel in 'hot' in most dialects of English". Well I feel foolish.

Normalise naming girls just their dad's name but with an A at the end. I mean my name would be Patricia which is a thing, so.

Astrofig posted:There's a Symonena and a Calandaria having birthdays today, and a guest named Katonna arriving in two weeks. Those are unusual but I don't think they wholly suck. Those people *are* going to spend their whole lives spelling their names for people but then, my first name is Irish so I constantly have to do that too.

Are good names allowed? Because my niece has a cousin named Brandon Steele and that's an astonishing name for a toddler to have. He's the coolest person in any room he's in by default.

My mum sometimes sees a neurologist called Doctor Axon. I find that very satisfying because it's so specific.

Runcible Cat posted:I once stunned a Lincolnshire guy by calling him a yellowbelly. He didn't expect that from a Londoner. I was curious and went to wikipedia. The reason folk from there are called that is after the town's coat of arms. But the reason there's a dog on the coat of arms seems to have quite a few explanations, as usual. Also Mary, Queen of Scots, was from there! Looks like a nice enough place.

Samovar posted:It's not anyone specifically, but does anyone know when Carol and Karen stopped being unisex? Poked around a bit and Carol took a big plunge in popularity as a boy's name in the US in about 1950, a few years after it took a big spike in popularity as a girl's name. So I'm guessing maybe the reason people stopped using it for boys was because it became more perceived as a common girl's name. There's no good data about why though.

The one that gets me is 'Todd Bonzales' and like, it's only one letter away from a completely normal common name, and it kills me for some reason.
