Is that implying that after this post you go back to being racist 😉

Four of the suggested names begin with **Mc**. Why do we find that funny?

Anyway, what about Hootie McBoob, or Dick Gozinia?

One time, the boys (and robots) at MST3K suggested **Big McLargeHuge**. I like it.

I really should really try to clear this up now, since this thread has been ressurected. **ajlilhammer225** is, in fact, my daughter. She apparently posted without realizing she was logged in as me.

She can spell and use punctuation, but for some reason feels that it’s “way cooler” not to. All of you writers out there should feel free to dissuade her…

**ajlilhammer225** ,

I dissuade thee!

Use proper spelling (of real words) and correct punctuation. Intelligence is way cooler than mindless pop trends.

And I’m not even someone whose not a writer but plays one on TV.

hee hee. Guadere strikes again. The funny thing is that I’m fairly sure I misspelled Guadere. Oh well.

How about Shifty McPlop?

[This site](http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/) should give you plenty of real-life suggestions.

Incidentally, I altered your thread title a bit. Handy spelling mnemonic: “The first word in _weird_ is **we**.”

Acknowledged. My bad.

See, **ajlilhammer225** : all the more reason to use correct grammar on message boards. I didn’t, and now I look like a buffoon.

Don’t forget his wife Incontinentia Buttocks!

My wife’s favorite made up name: Zarquonimus Crump

Sister-in-law’s favorite: Baron von Nurenbricken

Two from [The Man With Two Brains](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0085894): Michael Hfuhruhurr and Anne Uumellmahaye.

Another weird (but [real](http://www.m-w.com/lighter/cool/cooljulyD.htm)) name: Tarquin Fintimlinbinwhinbimlin Bus Stop-F’Tang-F’Tang-Ole-Biscuit-Barrel (from an old Monty Python skit)

And one off the top of my head: Mortimer Frunk

No punctuation marks were harmed in the writing of this post.
