Mötleys parents called the elder brother Richard

[–] [email protected] 40 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (6 children)

What irks me the most is the effort these idiot parents will go to give their baby as basic a name as "Allison" or "Ashley"

  • Ashlie
  • Ashlee
  • Ashly
  • Ashleigh
  • Ashlea
  • Ashli
  • Ashely
  • Ashlei
  • Ashleah
  • Asheleigh
  • Ashelie
  • Ahshlee
  • the list goes on and on and on

No amount of vowels is going to make your kid's name stand out when at the end of the day it's the same pronunciation as the most common, basic form of it.

Mötley might be weird but it's at least unique.

A dry dick?

i'm so fucking happy sweden has laws preventing this stuff, names here have to be approved as not causing undue harm to the child

[–] [email protected] 49 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I could see a system like that being used to racist ends in America. “Please select from the pre-approved list of biblical names”

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I'm having trouble finding articles about it because search engines have become terrible, but I've heard trans people talk about how the Swedish law has been used to transphobic ends (and, yes, racist ones too because common names in immigrant communities weren't on the list). There's few gender neutral names on the approved list and getting a gendered name approved for a name change is difficult and leaves the door open for outright transphobia - and legally changing your gender required surgical sterilization in Sweden up until the end of 2012.

I’m proud to be an American, where at least I can name my kids Yungblud Founding Father Lee Awesome. I won’t forget the Kanyes and Jason Lee’s who named their kids weirdly. And I’ll gladly stand up next to Pilot Inspektor and Jermajesty!

Don’t mind me, I’m just the local idiot.

I highly agree with how they do it in Iceland. There is a list of 3000 or so names that you can pick from, that's it.

Dumb people should not be allowed to pick names for human beings.

I know a kid named Juggalo Jay.

I begged his parents not to do that. They call him Jug.

I even tried to get up with ICP, but then I was told they probably encourage it.

That's a banger name. I hope he listens to the insane clown posse.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

I mean, that's also how now commonly accepted names came into being in the first place.

My daughter has a friend named Hayley. She is not amused when I spell it heighleigh

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My daughter's two best friends are Isabella and Felix, so she lucked out on that front.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (5 children)

... Felix is the trans guy, right? Felix seems very much like the name a trans boy would pick out for himself, lol.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Yep. That's Felix. I don't even know his deadname. I think my daughter told me once because the school deadnamed him over the announcements and she didn't know they were talking about him.

It makes me think of Felix the Cat, which is not an insult. I like Felix the Cat. Dude knows how to party.
