I’ve met Thors and several zillion Jesuses, Manueles, Emmanuells, Emmanuelles, Emmas…
That (if true) sounds like a really bad science experiment. Why in the name of all that is good would you name your child Loser? I really don’t get it, what has the poor kid done to you?
I agree with Alessan: don’t make your child unique by giving him a stupid name. Try to enable him to become a unique person.
Asshole employee, but it’s good the Southwest didn’t give in to the teeming internet blockheads and fire the asshole just cuz “internet sez so”.
dont name your kids after your password.
Yep, they picked one of the first ones from your list. And there’s little to no chance these kids will experience bullying – they’re all homeschooled. (One of the children is nicknamed “Stinky”, although I don’t know if the family calls him that outside of Facebook posts and private gatherings.)
I knew a couple who bred like rabbits and kept having daughters. They gave them all -ene names; Darlene, Carlene, Raylene, Charlene, Norene, and one I can’t remember. Their seventh kid was a boy and they named him Jerry.
Back in the 80’s, I worked for a real jerk named Jim Mitchell (not his real name). He would tell a story about a Japanese man whose name was Fu Kyu, which he pronounced “Fuck You”. He’d laugh, repeat the spelling and the name several times, thinking it was hilarious.
I stole his story, but changed things a bit. In my version, always spoken, the guy’s name was “Ass Hole” (spoken with a faux Japanese accent). No, really, it was spelled “A-S-H O-L-E”. No, no, wait a minute, I’ve got that wrong. The guy’s real name was Jim Mitchell.
Abcde is pronounced, “AB-si-dee”, sounds better than if spelled out letter by letter. Didn’t realize hundreds have already named their kids that. Thought it was a one time thing.
I’ve heard of more than one family that was tired of hearing Christian names, such as Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Noah, Moses, David, etc, or even having boys named Christian, and girls Christine, so named their kids, Atheist Evolution. Here is a family naming their daughter that: http://www.nancy.cc/2012/03/29/baby-named-atheist-evolution/
Just imagine the emotions that got stirred up and the torment they must have suffered growing up. And if they survived into adulthood, I bet it still continued on, and every single time their name was asked for or called out, they would have had some explaining to do.
At least the father didn’t go naming five sons Jr, III, IV, V, VI.
I find that a little bit, um, numerical.
Back in the 1970s, the problem wasn’t kids with unique names.
I’ve run into several kids named Nevaeh.
But I’m still waiting to meet some little fucker named Lleh.
mmm
I guess the general consensus on Penn Jillette’s daughter’s name, Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette, will be a thumbs down.
I wish I could say the name came from Japanese mythology, that would at least be a cool story… but it was the video game. The other kid’s just lucky his name isn’t Sub-Zero.
Probably. But honestly, being rich insulates the children from some of the consequences of a weird name. As does having famous parents. As does being white.
Borderline. “Crimefighter” is ridiculous, of cousre, but it’s just a middle name, and “Moxie” IS an actual name, or at least an actual word.
Moxie’s not too bad, by celebrity standards. CrimeFighter, while ludicrous, at least is a middle name, which can be ignored, quietly dropped or embraced as desired.
Stupid middle names are part of my culture at least, like Nicholas ‘if Jesus Christ had not died for thee thou hadst been damned’ Barebone. I always figured the only time most parents call their kids by their full name is when they’re annoyed, so picking something awful makes sense…
It is posting her personal document online, and it is certainly how mob doxxing begins. Fortunately, the hyenas seem to have been distracted that night, or simply didn’t find the bait enticing. But it was a very dangerous thing to do.
"The next time you’re thinking of throwing away a used boarding pass with a barcode on it, consider tossing the boarding pass into a document shredder instead. Two-dimensional barcodes and QR codes can hold a great deal of information, and the codes printed on airline boarding passes may allow someone to discover more about you, your future travel plans, and your frequent flyer account.
Earlier this year, I heard from a longtime KrebsOnSecurity reader named Cory who said he began to get curious about the data stored inside a boarding pass barcode after a friend put a picture of his boarding pass up on Facebook. Cory took a screen shot of the boarding pass, enlarged it, and quickly found a site online that could read the data."
The whole point of the story is that it went viral because an airline employee photographed her ticket and posted it on social media. The parents are only responding to the media frenzy.
Do they also never leave the house?
