    this isnt so much bad as fucking awesome, but i knew a kid in high school - born to first-gen chinese immigrant parents - named dragon. his brother was named tiger. apparently they were direct translations of their chinese names, which they were named because those were the years they were born in. fuckin' rad as hell.

    though he *did* get a lot of shit during roll call, especially in the beginning of the year. "This form says 'Dragon' but that can't be right-" "Present."

    OH, just remembered two women I knew who kept their maiden names when they married. One was named Carol lastname. Her husband was named firstname Parol. She would have been Carol Parol, and was not having any of that. The other lady was in a similar situation... except if she hadn't kept her maiden name, she would have literally been Candy Candy.

    Today, in "Yes, that sounds nice, but have you actually thought about what it means": Folly. (Why not just name your kid "Mistake"?)

    In other news…"Tiffany" is a lovely name, and I am not quite sure why you would choose to spell it "Typhenie".

    KREE8IV spellings are A Thing and they are Not A Thing Acey Likes. Supposedly they're supposed to make kids """more unique,""" but like...first of all, a person doesn't magically become A Special And Unique Snowflake because their name isn't a super common one, and second, if you're that dead-set on a "unique" name, why not go for an actual name that's just not widely-used rather than butchering a common one into something stupid-looking?

    I forgot if I ever told this story but I poked thru the thread and didn't see it, so.

    Once I got a couple of customers at work who were married, artists. their names? Shogun and Emperor.

    They were a white dude and a Korean lady, respectively. I eventually asked because I was burning with curiosity and apparently it was a coincidence that they met and both happened to have very strange parents.

    My Pop calls sandals jandals, which always confused me but now, now I know. The New Zealanders did it to him.

    Although if she was a lady, wouldn't Empress be more accurate?

    I know a woman named Carol, who married a man whose last name is O'Carol. She took his surname when they married. Her name is fun to say
