Power Peter should take a backseat to no one.
I knew a Max Maxwell and a Rock LaRocca. Still, Maximus Peter… woah.
Do you find it amusing when I mention my fwiend Bigguth Dickuth?
There were two Talons at my high school.
Being known as Max Peter isn’t much of an improvement.
Maximus Prime would have been cooler. They could say it’s Optimus’ brother.
How would a Farscape fan spell “talon?”
Talyn.
It was the name of one of the living ships.
(The only reason that occurred to me was because I do know someone who named their daughter Aeryn after the show. Now I tend to associate ‘talon’ with ‘Talyn’ when I hear it.)
1.) Peter comes from “rock.” Some guy named Rocco Mediate just came this close to beating Tiger Woods.
2.) When the lad is really in trouble, the neighbors will hear his mom yell, “Maximus Peter, get in here right now!”
3.) Artist Peter Max did all right for himself.
Don’t mind me, I was expecting Lego.
One of the uhh… “liberating” things about having Dickson as a surname was the knowledge that there probably wasn’t much we could do in the choice of first names for our son that would significantly increase the chance of any name teasing at school. 
Not if you went with:
Eatmy
Wantsum
Yurra
Little
Bob
I am of German ancestry, and there are a lot of classical-sounding Latin names in the genealogy.
Well, I did say “wasn’t much” we could do to worsen it… but then we weren’t trying to be cruel to the poor child.
I had a (paternal) uncle named “Bob”. No idea if he got extra stick for that name.
Ah yes, Dickson…my son’s 6th grade math teacher was named Mr. Dickson. He had one of the worst toupees I have ever seen, and dressed in shabby argyle vests, and was generally peculiar. The kids all called him Mr. Dickhead. Sometimes, to their horror, to his face.
People just don’t think about names. My cousin, last name Ball, named her son (who died a few hours later, I’ve always said so he wouldn’t have to face the world with the name she gave him) after two dear family friends, using one’s nickname. So she named her child Bracken Waxy Ball.
To this day I don’t think she realizes how awful it was.
Was thinking more about this and realized that another uncle’s name of “Peter”, and a grand-father “Thomas” suggests my father’s family is possessed of either a blissful ignorance or a streak of cruel humour. 
As i mentioned in the other names thread, i have recently learned from a friend that her cousin has just name her newborn daughter Paris Star Austin.
Kids gonna grow up to be a high class hooker or a porn star. You can just tell.
I’m sorry, but the two worst baby names ever (although by the time I heard them they were adult names) remain Latrina and Shitonya.
We have some friends who have some friends who adopted a baby from an African country…I forget which one. They really struggled with whether to keep his given name or not, which apparently is a fairly common cultural name
It was “Shithead” (phonetically: Ssshhh “the” pronounced like “the” - “ayed”. But spelled Shithead.
They ultimately changed it.
BIGBOOTAY!
Y’know though, abbreviated, Max Peter sounds even more like a porn name.
That’s a friend’s nearly two-year-old grandson’s name, with that spelling. She said her son is a scifi fan, but I don’t know if Farscape was the inspiration. I think of hawks, so clearly it wasn’t a work I’ve run across.
OK, sorry for the bump, but this was the lates ‘ridiculous name thread’ I could find. While this thread started ending up with some of the usual urban legends (see above), here’s a story about someone who comes pretty close to “Sh’tonya.”
