or have known. No friends of friends. You must have at least exchanged pleasantries. Who can beat me??

Lockhart Steele.

Amity Guage.

Or is it Gauge? I dunno. But they belong in a Marvel publication for sure.

My 1st girlfriend Marsha Parker.

One of my student workers, Hafsa Kaka. Who is incredibly cheerful and well-motivated, bless her! And it *is* a cool name!

I knew a guy named Nadir in school. I always thought that was so sad.

― ALly, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, his last name was Noir. Nadir Noir.

― ALly, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The funny thing about Lockhart is that he's this kind of weedy-grin computer nerd. And everybody calls him "Lock" anyway which kind of detracts. Maybe he's protecting his superhero identity.

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nadir Noir is the greatest name I've ever heard! I hope he was a huge goth.

All of the unusual names I know of are really awful, like this girl I met whose name was Latrina. I was two seconds away from asking her if she had a brother named John and a sister name Toilette, but decided that it wouldn't be very nice, particularly since she was only 10 years old.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally McNally.

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You'd have to be a goth if you were named Nadir Noir, wouldn't you? But I don't know if he became goth, he moved when we were 12. It's pronounced exactly how you'd think it was pronounced, too.

― Ally, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There was a dude in my class at school called Muhunthan Balasegaram, which was great (look!) cos it was hilarious watching teachers try to get to grips with it. The only better names in the whole school were either Sayannan Shrishanmugunathan or Patrick Fitzgibbon. FITZGIBBON!

― DG, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I knew a short redhaired boy in grad school named Luke Kummer...

― phil, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I know a guy named Lockhart, and he's sort of a wiry computer guy...

I also know a lovely lady named Tinuviel.

― marianna, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And I also know Thunder Storm.

― marianna, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Marianna, does this Tinuviel live in Boston? I think she's friends with my cousin.

― Kris, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Does your Lockhart live in New York Marianna? Does he look both shifty and beatific all at once?

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I knew a Kelly Honey, who fit her name perfectly. I now work with a Sterling Mock!

One of my friends, an aspiring rock star no less, is Sam Axelrod. It screams 80's hair band to me.

― Tim, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A friend of mine in L.A. is called John Silver. I think it's definitely the best name out of all my friends. I've never told him that though.

There's a girl at work that I don't know all that well called Illuminata Taylor, but everyone just calls her Lumi.

I don't know if this counts, and I know the humour of it does have a lot to do with the cultural context but, the other day I had to do some (mumble mumble) administrative stuff for one of our clients whose first name just happened to be Manmeet. Fun Fact - if you laugh out loud when you're sitting alone at your desk, people will tend to look at you as if you're whacko.

― Kim, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If you're going to invoke Aborto the Dog, Brian, you must at least acknowledge his master, Fuckles the Clown.

Samson , and a wolfgang. One of my philosophy lecturers was a complete geographical feature: Heather Moorland, until she got married to a man whose surname is Dyke.

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Omigod, I can't believe I forgot to say this story:

When I was four, I was taken to visit a friend of one of my grandparents whose name, honestly, was Peaches Eaton. My Dad introduced me to her, and instead of returning my polite greeting, she said in the voice of a screeching hag, "RAINY?????!!!!! That's a funny name!" and cackled very rudely. I was so humiliated and offended, my manners went out the window and I kicked her in the leg.

I was sent to sit in the car for the rest of the visit.

― rainy, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hands down, my friend Fowzy Butt takes the cake. (His first name is pronounced "FAH-zee", like the Muppet bear.) He pulls the name off beautifully, and turns what would lead some people to a life of seclusion and self-loathing into an asset.

He's one of two Pakistani guitarists that was in my old band. The other, coincidentally enough, was named Nadir. It's pronounced NAH-dher, though.

I once knew a girl named Sargent Sargent, and a guy named Lincoln Ford.

― Phil, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I though Nadir was a normal Indian name (although usually a surname)? I've known a few Nadirs.

I knew a guy whose name was something Latin like Stella Nova or Nova Filius(I hope it wasn't that because that sounds really girly, but I'm sure his name meant New Star or New Son or Star Son or whatever) anyway, everyone called him Jeremy.

I went to school with a guy called Zen Dane.

― toraneko, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

if names = destiny then ?? Where are They Now? Not wearing capes and fighting crime I'd bet. Shameful.

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I had a couple of dates with an Ariel Star Clapp - does that count?

Professionally, I have been in touch with Jenny Cockshatt and Linda J Wank.

Mathew Sebastian. Admittedly not very cool-sounding, but when you rearrange its letters you get cool phrases like "Beats meat in wash", "I am the swan beats", "We bathe Satanism", "I am the Satan's web", etc. etc.

It was Jefferson Rush, until we found out he was a big fat LIAR and it wasn't really his name at all. Hmph.

― emil.y, Friday, 2 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow, that Molybdenum. Hard kid. BOOM

Just remembered: an artist named Rachel Elizabeth Goodnight.

This is a bit dodgy, cos they'll probably read this and I'll look a right muppet, but anyway: Melody Butters, Farrah Butt, Leigh Hailstones, Judas Skelton-Robinson, Reuben Ganja Paris. I've always suspected the last one might be a wind up, but I'm assured it's legit.

Ok, that's weird. While I don't actually personally know Lucius T. Outlaw III, I just came across his name recently and God damn if that isn't the best name ever.
