@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

I'm always wanted to name a boy Ashoka. Not only is it the name of a pretty cool buddhist emperor, but you could call him Ash for short. Which is so awesome as to cause me physical pain.

I dunno, a kid named Thor had best be able to defend himself.


'Wrath of' no less...

(doh, forgot Jough's, thought you were referring to Tormad, which is Nordic for Wrath of Thor... fairly straight translation really, and looks cool in the Nordic alphabet)

I pretty much know now that I'd want to use an Asian name for my kid. But like the Enrique worries...
I guess if I marry a Japanese woman it'll be ok.

And as for Thyrudice, I have heard of it before now you mention how it's spelt, and it is a great name, when you don't pronounce it how it's spelt.

I work with Jimmy James.

I went to camp with a guy named Gerard Larkin III. He went by Chip.


Do you work at a radio station, by any chance?

Helvetica is the best name ever.  To be a real nerd, you'd have to name twins Helvetica and Arial, and, like, fight 'em or something.

How about James Jimmy?

My parents have a friend named Dick Peters.  And there's an attorney here in town named Richard Head.  I went to law school with his brother, Randy, who was absolutely pathological.

I worked with a guy in college named Arvis Dunbar -- I always liked that name, thought it evoked a Cletus the Slack-jawed Yokel type of image.  In fact, Arvis was a 6'6" 300 lb black guy from East St Louis.

Not to endore the turn this thread is taking, but there's a local fellow named Harry Dick.   Very involved in the community, even has a road named after him, in fact.

I worked with a 300 lb black guy from the mountains of North Carolina named "Prince Romeo" something-or-other.  He was a total player.  

Before he was married, my brother swore he was going to have triplet boys and name them Hosea, Hose-b and Hose-c.  His daughter's name was to be Tatiyana Gucci Kikolski.  (Yes, my maiden name was Kikolski.)  Also high on the list: Boy George Michael Jackson Brown.  

His actual kids are named Austin and Jordan.  My sister-in-law named them.

Back in my previous life, when I worked in the VD clinic in Cleveland, I used to make note of the various names I ran across.

My favorite has to be the little one-year old baby named "Zenoblion Durrah".

Runner-up is the girl really truly named (Pronunciation first) Le-MAHN-ge-loh.


She spelled it Lemonjello.

I've heard this one so often I thought it was just an urban legend. Snopes even has a page on it.

At my school we've got some doozies. C'Arica (her sister is Erica, pronounced the same but without the Cee in front), DeAngelo and DeAnthony (twins), Shakira and Shakora (also twins), Sha'Courtney, and about a thousand Roman and Greek sounding Demetriuses and Quintaviouses.

She registed in the clinic as Lemonjello. But then again, we had about 250 Walter Paytons in the gonorrhea registry in Chicago.

Awesome. Now I can retell that story and actually believe myself.

Any Hantaviruses? Oh, and I forgot to mention there was also a Latrina and, no shit, really and truly, a Turdell.

Cross my heart and hope never to work in a VD clinic again.
