Whisky Jones is a bad ass name though. That's either a porn star or a treasure hunter and I'm good either way

Tell that to Marijuana Pepsi Jackson.
My wife and I have received several compliments just for giving both of our daughters normal, pronounceable names. Names I don't see very often anymore, but perfectly normal before 9/11 altered the timeline and made everyone unbearably stupid.
Same here. My wife and I also picked traditional timeless names that we both liked and know they will never get made fun of for them
Hot take for Zambia and parts of Zim and Namibia. Names there are wild. Things you see, aspirations, etc. Even other African counties find it hilarious.

I've personally met people named Nevers, as in short for "Never Again" having a baby. Also, Fuckson is a popular one. Even written in news.
Trevor Noah had old stand up about it.
There was an article about I believe a Nigerian researcher who had a record number of retractions due to misinformation on his articles. His name was Hitler Louis and his partner's name was Honest Benjamin lmao
There was a golfer at Augusta national and her first name was Asterisk.
I wonder if their other children are named comma, semi colon, or parentheses?
Idk about children, but a character in La saga/fuga de J.B. (Torrente Ballester book from the early 70's) is called Don Asterisco.
Maybe Obelix and Idefix?
Obelisk and Getaflix
She'd love Germany. Those names would be illegal over here.
Then again the law also explicitly states that you can name your kid any name that's normal for your heritage. I guess that means an American would be able to name their kid Kitchenaid because it aligns with their traditions.
So if a Turkish family tries to name their kid Helmut that's not allowed?
Oh boy... These are real people.
- Drink Water Rivera: Very refreshing take on nomenclature but quite bland 8/20.
- Macaroni 85, Spaghetti 88, and Sincerely Yours 98 Pascual: As if someone stopped them from naming their kid after pasta because the username is already taken. 66.67/10 because they didn't commit all the way.
- Covid Bryant: Not quite Black Mamba, not quite the Black Death but still 8/10 or 24/30.
- Abcde Aeiou: Very educational A+/10
- Captain Philip Ines: Not quite the super soldier 19/40.
Just in case anyone hadn't heard this one before: Abcde is pronounced "Absidy", which is more of a real name.
I'm a huge fan of your scoring system!
The site links a real source for each name but the commentaries on each one read like ai generated so i was skeptical.
Its like a whole gneration hasn't listemed to Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" ← (best Folsom Prison performance)
My name is Sue. How do you do? NOW YOU GONNA DIE!
Well, my daddy left home when I was three. Didn't leave very much to my mom and me. Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid but the meanest thing that my daddy ever did was before he left, he went and named me Sue.
Would only be fair (and American) to Sue him for it.
People can change their names.
When they're older, doesn't erase years of bullshit suffered from being the proverbial boy named Sue.
