Bad, Hilarious, Or Just Absurd Baby Names

I'd say that counts tbh!

 

i'll make sure his middle name is normal enough so that he won't totally hate me

 

Duncan is a pretty normal name, IMO? Not a super common one, but far from weird.

(Unless your last name is Donuts, in which case it becomes cruel.)

 

Does it get the numeral if its not the entire same name? Like, my friend with the IV is literally firstname middlename lastnsme the fourth, or else i guess itd be like george hw bush and george bush--no need for a numeral to tell them apart

Anyway

 

I'd say it counts! My family has a loooong line of people named John--but they all have different middle names (and many of them went by different names, often their middle names--my dad goes by Tony exclusively). I'd still count my late grandpa as John Lastname V, and my dad as John Lastname VI. (I would've been VII, and I guess I still kinda am because my given name is a feminine form of John? That probably doesn't count, but oh well.)

 

my family has a bunch of different lines of georges, so like
my dad is george (middle name spelled with an e) (lastname) the third, and his cousin is george (middle name spelled with an a) (lastname) the third, and there are many more instances of basically the same thing with a letter swapped out because our family is large and full of terrible parents XD
we used to get his cousin's mail A LOT

 

The only thing that makes numerals not count tradition-wise is skipping a generation or more, I think. (Discounting royalty, of course.) So if John's named after his grandpa, he's just John. If he's named after his dad who was named after HIS dad, then he's John Lastname the III. A lot of families don't start adding numerals until the third repetition, they go for - Senior and - Junior instead and people get I and II stuck on later.

 

I think you can do whatever you want :) The numerals are not a legal thing, they're a customary thing.

That said, I ran into the name "Vegina" on an actual chart while doing chart reviews. (Can't tell you the whole name of course.)

WHY

 

if that person doesn't marry a Richard or a William, i will be disappointed

 

There is not a lot my brother could do to redeem himself but if he started to call himself Blah Blah Blah^3 I'd at least be amused.

 

My uncle's legal birth name is Napoleon Bonaparte. When he went to France, they laughed at him.

 

To be fair, a lot of those names did exist before Homestuck. My middle name is on one of those lists :p

 

I'm just confused what "Andromeda" is doing on there.

 

Good question---I see that name in WT often enough that I glossed over it, but she's somebody else's OC!

 

Maybe it's a name that's inexplicably popular amongst Homestucks or...something? I'm just as confused as you tbh.

 

its a space thing, to go along with zodiac themed trolls?

 

This guy's last name..... Is Fulks.
