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.

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-one years ago) link

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...

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.

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.

Guy Hatzenbeuhler

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.

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

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.

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"

frogbs, Friday, 26 October 2012 15:00 (eleven years ago) link

"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."

Guy at my brother's graduation many years ago was called St0rm Way. I remember reading the list of graduands and excitedly anticipating what he/she would look like as he/she walked across the stage. He didn't let me down.

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".

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.

anima corrective (nakhchivan), Thursday, 5 February 2015 01:17 (nine years ago) link

also....

anima corrective (nakhchivan), Thursday, 5 February 2015 01:17 (nine years ago) link

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 (eight years ago) link

"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'."

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.

Even the Russian Orthodox Church, which is close to the Kremlin, warned Wednesday against “euphoria” as it welcomed the vote result. “Time will tell what kind of president he will be, whether he will fulfill the promises he made during the campaign,” said Metropolitan Illarion, a church spokesman.

You do realise that "Metropolitan" is a rank in the Orthodox Church, and that Illarion is a chosen regnal name, like Benedict or Francis for the Pope? So neither of those is his real name.

Thurl Arthur Ravenscroft (/ˈθɜːrl ˈreɪvənzkrɒft/; February 6, 1914 – May 22, 2005) was an American voice actor and bass singer known as the booming voice behind Tony the Tiger in Kellogg's Frosted Flakes for more than five decades. He was also the uncredited vocalist for the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the classic Christmas television special, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

"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.

xp that was my first impression as well.

I find Albanian absolutely fascinating, not only because it's a language isolate within the Indo-European family, but also because there's an unproven theory according to which Dacian, the vanished language spoken by the ancient inhabitants of modern-day Romania (pre-Roman conquest), may have belonged to the same branch as proto-Albanian. 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.

I was recently in the Bahamas, flying into and out of Nassau. I am not sure you are all aware of this, but the airport there is named for the father of Bahamian independence: the honorable and most excellent Sir Lynden Pindling.

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.

Sorry, I misspelled that. It's actually Blumfumgagnge.

Okay so apparently "Fflyn" is like the actual name of a human person and not a Hobbit or Disney fairy or Vulcan or Narnian faun or whatever.

Ff- is a pretty standard way to begin a Welsh name.

Madchen, Friday, 17 November 2023 13:22 (seven months ago) link

It makes more of a regular f sound since a single f sounds more like a v.

Shifty Henry’s Swing Club (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 November 2023 13:40 (seven months ago) link

So ff is a letter in its own right, after f and before g and ng, which follows g.

Ok. Apologies for the flippant tone.

(But privately I do kinda sorta want to believe that hobbits and leprechauns walk among us.)

Oh I believe in Yetis' Day (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 17 November 2023 14:08 (seven months ago) link

No worries. I believe Welsh was one of the languages Tolkien was inspired by when he came up with Elvish.

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 (six months ago) link

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.
