Jerks Who Mock People's Names and the Parents Who Enable That Mockery

Somewhere in southern Germany circa the 8th century.

"Why is that guy naming his kid Bright Fame? He should give him a normal name like Raginaharduz."

Two French kings, a couple Dukes of Normandy, and a few kings of Scotland later.

"Why is that guy naming his kid Pokemonballs? He should give him a normal name like Robert."

Three World Presidents, a reality TV star, and two Super Super Bionic Bowl winning quarterbacks later.

"Why is that guy naming his kid Robert? He should give him a normal name like Pokemonballs."



Given the fullness of time. Some things will never change.

As for pronouncing names, I wrestled with this one for a long time *Angharad*

We've got an Ealga, an Aisling and a Niamh in the family - beautiful names.

There are some youngsters in my area with the names Niamh and Aisling are

they Irish names? How do you pronounce Ealga.... like its spelled?

That's fine, but if you name your kid Biabee you need a smack.

What about naming him "God"?

Another: "God damn it!"
God: "No I don't"

Another: "God bless you!"
God: "No I don't"

Another: "God help us!"
God: "If you ask nicely...."

Another: "Who do you think you are, God?"
God: "Why yes, yes I am..."

The names are pronounced Elga, Ashling (Ash to most) and Neeve. Yes they're Irish.
