Real names of people that are just brilliant. Brought on by hearing the Ugandan Foreign Minister on the Radio, his name is James Woodpecker Bulo, which is pretty good if you as me.

Coco Crisp

Among ilxen, Ned and Matos and Martin and Lara have damn cool names, and if I'm remembering Ally's full name correctly, she sounds like a Barbara Stanwyck character.

Hmong names are great! Friend of mine student-taught in a school with heavy Hmong population and there was a kid named Bee Lor, who signed his name with a little cartoon bee, and I think actually did go out and learn a few things about bees, ie "bee lore." Also many Hmong kids have English names that are still literal and descriptive: the girl named "Pretty Flower [xx]"

Went to school with a girl who's last name was Sexe (p. "sexy") She was, too.

Geoffrey Stuart Cannon is such a bizarre formal name sometimes I can't really believe it's mine (heh "feeling slightly disconnected from one's own name c/d")

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh shit how could I forget. When I was a teenager I had a friend named Pendleton Brewster Wickersham III. Nice kid too. Probably a nice guy by now, but it's been a long time...

― martin mushrush (mushrush), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

and i've always thought the name Raggett was cool. like a Shakespearean vagabond er something.

RAGGETT: "Tell me where's your fancy bread.
I need it for me, and I'm called Ned."

Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, Lord Dunsany

Seconding Fletrjet on both the name and his writing.

Working at a university as I do, I've come across many a mysteriously cool name. Current favorites, with slight non-google alterations (as these are folks I am currently having to bill for late books): the very Thai (I believe) Nar1n Charanvattank1t, the quite Scottish yet somehow naughty 1an Mu1r Duckles and the prime winner, someone I can only guess is from an Arabic/Dutch family of some sort, Azareen Vandervl1et Oloom1.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I just saw another one: Dune Combs

Also, I saw a guy named John Hancock, which is not all that unusual, but I wonder if he would make his signature an exact forgery of the founding father of the same name.

― cprek (cprek), Thursday, 24 April 2003 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks Chris and possibly Tep (he might have meant the other martin). Can't say I'm so keen on Skidmore myself, but I'm used to it.

At work today the person who I was given as a sample that would show a particular system error was Mr Doh. I like to imagine that to say his name correctly you have to slap your forehead.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 24 April 2003 20:27 (twenty-two years ago)

hey Martin, Martin is a cool name regardless of which of us he was talking about. It's a good thing at least one Chris thinks that.

There was some important politician or someone back in the mid-nineties who was called Tokyo Sexwhale. And more recently, I was looking through my old school's Friends Reunited page searching for someone and I saw this girl from the class of 2000 who was called Jo King.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Thursday, 1 May 2003 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

THere is a Professor Bizzup at Columbia. This produced about 45 minutes straight worth of laughter, of the falling down in the street, unable to breathe kind. "Yo, class, WAAAZZZUP? I'm Professa Bizzup, fo' sheezy..." Oh my god, I'm laughing again.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 1 May 2003 13:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I hear crazy names all the time, as I work in customer service and sometimes fundraising. One woman was named Eustachia. Like, the canals in your inner ears. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Shasta Beasterfield
Kentor Olaveason
Kyke Andel
Fern S. Furniss
Dr. Peppers (my lit prof)
Guy Hatzenbeuhler
Zola Roach
Steve Stevens – I love those echoic names. I understand it when it comes from a woman marrying a man (ie Fern Furniss above), but if the kid's last name is Stevens, why give his the first name of Steve? He's stuck with it for life.

― Fivvy (Fivvy), Thursday, 1 May 2003 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Went to school with a girl who's last name was Sexe (p. "sexy") She was, too.

And I once met a Swedish intern whose last name was Sekse (also pronounced "sexy"). As I remember, he was.

I can't find a direct link, but the Annals of Improbable Research reported on a researcher whose name on his passport literally reads "Odd Person."

I knew another family whose kids were named Happy, Apple, Dimple and Fencil. The dad's inspiration for Fencil's name came when gazing at a pencil.

― Fivvy (Fivvy), Thursday, 1 May 2003 18:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought perhaps the father was hstencil.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 1 May 2003 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

The other inspirations were a clown named Slappy, an empty bottle of Snapple and a huge pimple.

I think there's probably about a million people named Miss Ng in Vietnam, it's a pretty common Southeast Asian name. Not sure how it's pronounced though, maybe "Ing"?

― NA. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

No, it's like the end of that, like ung without the vowel at the start.

They pronounced it "Ing" in that song.

― NA. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

it's more like "eng" with a short "e"

it's pronounced correctly in the song as far as I know. I'm listening to it now, and I know someone with that last name who says it that way too.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

The guy I was at uni with, Yao Ng, pronounced it without any real hint of a vowel at the start of it. (The first name was like yow!)

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

A friend of mine in high school with the name Dan had, at one point, claimed to have a long-distance (he was in Rockford, she was in Arlington Heights...long-distance in high school) relationship with a girl named "Velvet". The evidence of this affair was an out-of-focus photograph of a girl playing tennis, with the words, "To Dan" scrawled across the front.

My friend Gerald and I didn't believe him, since "Velvet" never showed up at any events she had been invited to, Dan always saying she couldn't make it at the last second.

One morning at school, Dan said that "Velvet" evidence could be found in his car, in the form of a series of photographs in his glove compartment, having just picked them up the day before at the Osco photo shop. He said he'd show them to us sometime. Somehow Gerald and I liberated his car keys from him and went into his car. We found the photos, which were so HORRIBLY underexposed that nothing could be seen except for silhouettes!

Gerald and I were fed up. We stormed into Dan's chemistry class, slammed down the keys, and I announced, "Dan, there IS NO VELVET!" We then stormed out.

"Velvet" apparently "broke up" with Dan a few days later. One night several years ago, in a drunken stupor, Dan confessed that "Velvet" didn't really exist. He also confessed that he didn't mind when girls santorumed his arse with their thumbs. He eventually married a lovely girl named Valerie.

When I was at school, one of the teachers died and there was a memorial service for him. During the service, there was a point where the headmaster read out the names of all of the other pupils/former pupils/members of staff/governors etc etc etc who had died over last year or so. The list of names was printed in the booklet. The first name in the list was Amos Boner. If they hadn't printed the list in alphabetical order and hidden him further down the list, no-one would have noticed because they'd have stopped listening after three names, but starting off with that one just caused a wave of stifled giggling. RIP Amos.

With a last name like that, I'd at least try to give my child a semblance of normality with a usual sounding first name. But Afton? Isn't that in Surrey somewhere?

There was a name change application in one of the courts I cover filed by a guy named Mohammed Butt

It was actually for his daughter, whose name was something like Shareefa Butt.

He actually wrote, under reason for name change, "I want my daughter to stop being the butt of jokes"

But the best part was that the court office lady who showed it to me went on like this for about five minutes straight:

"Hi there, I'm Mr. Butt"
(long pause)
"Hey, I'm Mr. Butt, I'm here for my appointment."
(long pause)
"This is my wife, Mrs. Butt"

Can we talk about Frostee Rucker, a DE on the Cleveland Browns

― frogbs, Friday, 26 October 2012 15:00 (twelve years ago)

"My father was in the military," Rucker said. "He used to be a DJ in the military, and they used to call him 'DJ Frost' because he was 'cold on the spins.' This is what he told me. He said no matter what I named you, they were going to call you 'Little Frost' or 'Ice Cold' or whatever. So he named me Frostee."
His father's name was Len, which is Rucker's middle name. But his father legally changed his first name to Frostee, as well.
"I'm technically a junior," Rucker said, laughing. "Or am I the senior because I was first? I don't know. . . . One day, if I have a kid, I'm going to name him Frostee, too. . . . It's working for me."

http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/story/20807958/prepster-parents-create-online-support-petition

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (FOX13) -
Parents in support of new and controversial charter school Cornerstone Preparatory School in Memphis are taking their message to the Internet, starting an online petition they launched Tuesday.
Cornerstone Prep took over the old Lester School in Binghampton as part of the Achievement School District.
The parents, who call themselves "Prepster Parents," who launched the online petition felt their children are benefiting from the new leadership at the school but they also say they've been disappointed with their efforts to be heard at community meetings.
"Our voices do matter," said Airwrecka McBride. "If you believe in change and you appreciate the education your children are receiving, we encourage you to reach out."
The "Prepster Parents" feel the petition is one way they can guarantee their voices will be heard, saying they were disappointed that they were not allowed to speak at a concerned citizens meeting at the Lester Community Center on Saturday.
"He said they didn't ask the community's permission to come into the neighborhood and they don't have enough black teachers," said Kimberly Bean, who attended Saturday's meeting. She was shocked at what she was told when she tried to share the progress her daughter has made under the new school system.
Bean says she was told she could only speak if she had concerns about the school.
Bean and McBride both have second graders at Cornerstone and say they don't share the concerns others have expressed about the racial make up of the school's staff.
"It's not Cornerstone's fault that the top qualifying people for the job were not black," McBride said. "They want people that can do a good job."
Other parents at Cornerstone and some community leaders are still not convinced that the charter school's teachers are doing a good job. Former Mayor Dr. Willie Herenton promised to take his concerns up with Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, who told FOX13 News while visiting Memphis Tuesday, Dr. Herenton followed through on his promise.
"Dr. Herenton called our office (Monday)," Gov. Haslam confirmed to FOX13 News. "I was in the middle of getting ready for the State of the State and I told him I'd give him a call sometime this week to hear his concerns."
Meanwhile, Bean and McBride feel the issues that parents have complained about have been fixed and that it's time for the community to move on.
"If it was an issue, why are your children still enrolled in Cornerstone?," McBridge questioned.
"If Cornerstone has to move, I will definitely be moving my child with Cornerstone, wherever they go," Bean said.

Curious given-names among my second-generation ancestors, not necessarily great but kinda intriguing: My grandfather Ellar Brown and his brother Mac were jointly named for their mother, Mary MacEllar. Yet Ellar was born first - how'd he get the SECOND half of the name??

Also of minor note: In a double union, Ellar and Mac married a pair of sisters, Bernice and Dorothea Haley, both of whom hated their names and refused to be called anything but "Bunny" and "Toots" respectively. And their younger brother Harold similarly wouldn't answer to anything but "Pete".

Ruby's currently the UK's 19th most popular baby name. Bit surprised Pearl is outside the top 200 tbh - all these granny names are making a massive comeback.

It was not until he was 15 years old that he was properly named Moshood, by his parents.

An Iraqi man has shot and killed seven ISIS militants in an act of revenge for his son who was executed by the terrorist group, local media reports.

Basil Ramadan, said to be in his 60s, used an AK-47 to gun down a group of militants at a checkpoint in Tikrit, a city northwest of Baghdad currently under ISIS control, before he was shot.

St. Brown almost immediately becomes the most interesting man in the recruiting class. The son of body builders, St. Brown speaks German to his mother at home — her native tongue — and mixed in French to his commitment press conference. His siblings also are named after Greek gods.

also....

― anima corrective (nakhchivan), Thursday, 5 February 2015 01:17 (ten years ago)

After deciding to give up some of his jet-setting life as a bodybuilder and settling down, Brown put his naturally mathematical mind to work. Brown knew he wanted his children to be athletes -- specifically football players -- and the woman he married needed to be able to provide them. Eventually, he zeroed in on a woman he met at FIBO, an international trade show for fitness, wellness and health, in Cologne, Germany.

"People laugh at me, and she probably gets a little mad," Brown said. "I met her and looked at her big toe. I thought, wow, she has big toes, big knees and she's tall. ... She's also very smart. That's the big thing, very smart. And I knew she would give me the kids I wanted."

Brown was certainly right about that, as Equanimeous is the oldest of three football-playing St. Brown children, leading the way for younger brothers Osiris and Amon-Ra -- both named for Egyptian gods.

the best thing about this chap is that he was called 'the warrior bishop'

also that he absolved the soul of the rebel leader he defeated in combat and executed

― Laertiades (imago), Saturday, 26 March 2016 18:08 (nine years ago)

"A number of the rebels were killed but some, including Geoffrey Lister, were captured, tried, and then executed. Despenser displayed his 'mercy and piety' by hearing Lister's confession himself, absolved him and then accompanied him to the gallows, during which journey he 'held up the rebel's head to prevent it knocking on the ground while he was being dragged to the place of his hanging'."
1381: The Year of the Peasants' Revolt, pp 349-350

This story is based on writings from a very anti-rebel monastic chronicler who is known to have falsified a number of events through official writings. In the case of Lister there are multiple other sources confirming that he was beheaded.

"Keep on Dancing" is notable for the fact that it is actually one short recording repeated in order to stretch the record out to the length of the typical pop single of its day. The second part of the song (after the false fade, beginning with Gentrys drummer Larry Wall's drum fill) is the same as the first. Although the Gentrys usually had Jimmy Hart and Bruce Bowles as singers, the band's guitarist, Larry Raspberry, sang lead vocals on the song.

I went to a native California plant garden tour today and the expert there (not the garden owner) was named Orchid Black. I didn't have the nerve t o ask her if that was her real name or her online identity. At first I thought that she picked the name from that UK series but when I got home and googled it I saw that the series is Orphan Black. In my search I found that there are indeed black orchids, so maybe Mr and Mrs Black named their daughter Orchid.

In any case, there is a substratum of Romanian words of uncertain origin that are more or less the same in Albanian.

I may have mentioned this before, but one of Bristol's top urologists is Professor Hashim Hashim:
https://www.nbt.nhs.uk/our-services/a-z-consultants/professor-hashim-hashim

Hashim apparently translates as "destroyer of evil", which makes sense because he's an NHS surgeon. It's his job to destroy evil. In the form of urethral strictures, prostatic enlargement, excessive night-time urination, and general urological problems. He destroys the heck out of evil.

A few years ago I remember speaking with a man whose surname was Electricwallah. It seems that the British insisted that Parsis should have a surname for legal reasons, thus people called Bicyclewallah and Biscuitwallah etc:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-38050007

Of course it's no different from people in Britain being called Baker or Smith or Axialflowturbinemaintenancetechnician. In fact I went to school with a chap called Simon Axialflowturbinemaintenancetechnician. Do you know what his dad did? He looked after axial flow turbines.

It's really quite difficult to be sad while saying the name "Lynden Pindling." Seriously, try it. I have lived a long time. Many tragedies have befallen me and my tribe. However, I have always been made happy while saying the words "snorkel" and "doily." To those, I add the name "Lynden Pindling."

Sure, being in the Bahamas is nice and all. But if the airport in Duluth or Buffalo or Kansas City were named after someone with a resplendent name like Lynden Pindling, I might reconsider those locales as vacation destinations.

Okay so for some reason I was googling former Vice President Daniel Tompkins.*

Found this wikigem:

Mangle Minthorne, an assistant alderman of New York City. The couple had eight children, including Arietta Minthorn Tompkins (born July 31, 1800), who married a son of Smith Thompson in 1818, and (Mangle) Minthorne Tompkins (December)

*= Probably because Christmas is coming and Daniel D. Tompkins is mentioned in "Miracle in 34th Street," which is one of the very few Christmas movies that I find even tolerable.

― Oh I believe in Yetis' Day (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 22 November 2023 02:05 (one year ago)

Okay sorry for the digression but seriously: Mangle Minthorne.

Mangle. Minthorne.

Of the New York Minthornes.

Not to be confused with Mangle Minthorne Tompkins, who was a completely different New York politician.

Well, apparently it's an English version of Fechtmeister, which is German for fightmaster, specifically fencing. Fencing was taught at a fechtschule. This man, Friedrich August Wilhelm Ludwig Roux, was a top fechtmeister:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e3/Friedrich_August_Wilhelm_Ludwig_Roux.jpg

Which raises the question of whether any top fightmasters would have been called Fechtmeister. It's like how Les Paul isn't called Les Electric Guitar, because the electric guitar hadn't been invented when Les Paul was christened.

Or how J Robert Oppenheimer wasn't called J Robert Atom Bomb. Etc.

Back when I visited Greenland - as you do - I remember flicking through this, because Greenlandic is one of those languages where words are built from component parts, like German, and you can split the words apart again to work out what they mean. Unlike English, which is a load of arbitrary nonsense. e.g. Kangerlussuaq is "kangerluk" (a fjord) and -suag, which means big and bad in a scary way. NB I am not a linguist.

Avataq is apparently a male name that means "sealskin float", Meqqusaaq means "made of hair" or something like that, and you could probably split Igimaqssusuktoranguapaluk into components but I'll be damned if I know how. -paluk means "the sound of something, Pipaluk means "the sound of something small", and at this point my brain is starting to hurt because it hurts to learn new things.

The Greenlandic word for "homosexual man" is anguteqatiminoortartoq, which breaks down into "a man who habitually hangs out with his fellow men". They have a word for crocodile, which is the same as the word for dragon. They invented the word anorak, which means anorak.

It strikes me that Esperanto was a waste of time. The world should have learned Greenlandic. It's small, it makes sense, and it would utilise all those spare Ks and Qs that hang around.

"He was married to Maude Marie Brogdon at Jackson County on August 15, 1915, and with her had eleven children" - blimey.

I learn from the accompanying obituary that they were called Frances, Willie, Martha, Sally, Kathryn, and Annie (sisters) and Charles, John, James, Wankard Lucius, and just plain Lucius (brothers). Sadly it seems that they've all since passed away, with Lucius as the last survivor. He died in 2020.

Apart from the aforementioned Young Boozer, there was also Frank Schmuck

I enjoyed it when the St Louis Blues had Kyle Clutterbuck and Kevin Shattenkirk on the same team. Those two names just work together.

Presumably she's a household name in the United States, but I learn from the internet that there's a news presenter called Hoda Kotb. Who was married for a while to a man called Burzis Kanga. And confusingly there's an Egyptian sex therapist called Heba Kotb. Because it's apparently a fairly popular name in Egypt.

I also learn from the internet that, hilariously, Hoda Kotb went to Starbucks in 2017 - that's not the hilarious part, I'm coming to that - and the person behind the counter wrote her name as "Oda" instead of "Hoda" on the cup. Hahaha! And she was disappointed because she wanted them to write "Yoda" instead. Hahahaha! It was a hilarious name flub.

Oh, god, the internet was funny back in 2017. Not like nowadays.

Not only did my family have that John Train book, we had so many others like it that they constitute a (mostly lost) genre.

Little humorous books, often published by Price, Stern, Sloan, that provided a chuckle here and there but did not reward re-reading. Left in the bathroom sometimes? Uses for a Dead Cat, joke books, books of dubious trivia, funny road signs, humorous typos...

Was listening to NPR this morning and heard someone referred to as Vanessa Bushlooter, and I was unsure if that's what I actually heard. Turns out it's Vanessa Buschschlüter, and was indeed pronounced that way.

milo z linked a Wired article on tariffs that quoted 'Chardonnay Love, an artist from Pennsylvania'... however, I can't verify if this is their birth name

― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 9 April 2025 00:25 (two months ago)

Chardonnay was a not uncommon name for girls born in the 00s in the UK, thanks to a character in the TV series Footballers’ Wives.

Real name Gerald David Music. Apparently the surname is distantly descended from Moses rather than from the art form.

This led me to Quintus Pomponius Musa. Sadly Pomponius seems to have died out.
