deoju posted:I was looking at a bunch of young hockey prospects and saw two cool names. I work with a guy with the last name Suomi, and while I'm pretty sure he must have Finnish heritage, he is still obviously from the US. His first name is so generic that his whole name comes across as some sort of Finnish spy alias or something.

Winter Stormer posted:Wootie Martian These are amazing.  Pope Hilarius II posted:'Slagboom' is Dutch for a barrier of the type you see in e.g. secure parking lots and literally means 'beat-down tree' (cf. think of Afrikaans 'boomslang' which literally means 'tree snake'). I believe Russian imported 'slagboom' as a loanword even. But it's a weird last name regardless. I have a friend with the last name "van den Boom". It's cool, and "boom" is a cool word for tree.

Whenever I see posts about young people with old names, Mamie Gummer (Meryl Streep's daughter) always comes to mind immediately. It's just so aggressively matronly.

Why the hell does Shaun White have a skateboarding game when 1) Tony Hawk's Pro Skater already exists, and 2) Shaun White is much more famous/acclaimed for snowboarding anyway?
