I’m not getting what pun you think that morphs into. Technically, it’s Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Shiloh is going by John these days, anyway.
Discussed here when it first came out, Pile o’ Shit. Kids will take something as innocuous as a bunt cake and…
Shiloh normally is a pretty cool name. Here, I’d go by John too.
Manson may not have been the biological father, but he’s the one (surprise!) who named the kid. The last name came from the name he gave to Atkins, “Sadie Glutz.” Manson gave most of the women new names, with the notable exception of Leslie Van Houten, who apparently felt left out enough that one of the reasons she agreed to participate in the Tate-LaBianca murders was that she was hoping it would earn her a nickname. At least, so she said in an interview years later.
I just finished reading that book. He wasn’t in American custody for a full day before they advised him to change it, which he did.
In my neck of the woods, there is a family of prominent businessmen with the last name of “Raper.” Pronounced just as you’d think. Raper car dealerships, Raper Auditorium at the community college, Raper scholarship, etc. Big billboards, catchy ads on the radio, etc. I still cringe every time.
“Save today, the Raper way!!”

:eek:
“Where Fun Begins”?! :eek:
Ew.
EXACTLY!! 
:smack:
(Funny thing is, we were maybe going to look at RVs…I don’t know if I could keep a straight face!)
Just read that they’re selling the (auto) company to a non-Raper. I suppose they’ll be changing the name first thing!
How about the recent spate of children named Abcde?
And “Adolf” (or “Adolph”) used to be quite a popular name for men.
You must live near me. I’ve heard ads for the Raper RV dealership on the radio. Jeez! He must know how cringe-worthy that sounds.
On a similar vein, there is plant called rape, and its seeds are used to make a very popular cooking oil. The producers of this product wisely decided to call it Canola oil, rather than Rape Oil :eek:
I once found a thread on another forum on an urban legend about a guy whose last name was supposedly Darling. His initials were WB and they stood for “Welcome Baby”.
And not that unfortunate but when my brother and I were in high school there was a boy in the year below my brother at his school who had a really long surname. Apparently he cried when people called him by his full name.
I have for some time thought that the worst name one could give a daughter would be Cinnamon Candy Ryder. That girl is just plain going to be a stripper. C Candy Ryder? Cinnamon C. Ryder? CC Ryder? Nope. No doctor is going to have this name.
Batman bin Suparman, on the other hand, hit the jackpot.
I feel like I’m missing something. With a lot of effort, I was able to arrive at “fuck you dome”, but that takes more gymnastics to arrive at than your statement that it can’t be beat would seem to imply.
Actually, I wondered if it was the prevalence of the name “Raper,” which probably either comes from the older meaning of the word “rape,” which would make “raper” mean “thief,” which isn’t great, but not as bad as, well, “rapist,” that caused the word “rapist” to be coined in the first place. “Rapist” is kind of an unusual construction. It’d be like calling someone who bakes a “bakist.” Usually -ist is added to nouns and -er is added to verbs. Now, I realize that rape is a noun and a verb, but typically verb+er is the default to form an agentive when the root word is both noun and verb-- “painter,” for example, or sleeper. It’s only when the root word isn’t a verb at all, like deist, or futurist, that -ist gets used.
I’ve heard Raper RV ads too.
I went through life before I was married as a “Goldhammer.” To be honest, I stopped hearing the meaning of it. It was just my name. When someone would point out that it meant something, I’d have to think about it for a minute.
Rapeseed oils was a specialty item available in “health food” stores, and in stores that sold the raw ingredients for making Asian (mainly Indian) dishes. When it hit the mass market sometime in the 90s it became Canola oil, because it was a Canadian import at first (or something-- it’s Can+ola for Canadian oil.
“Fuck you, do me.”
There’s a famous footballer Johnny Raper, and a bunch of his relos also footy players.
Which led to this
