Since I loathe my birth certificate name, and prefer my nickname, please just.... please leave us alone. We didn't ask for these stupid AF names, we didn't want them, please stop. Please.

If I'd be an 11 years old kid, I'd probably laugh at some of them. As a grown up person, I just find this post racist and offensive.

I went from summer castle to summer Mason. So there's that. And yes I have had to verify my name 10 times with Google. They didn't believe me.

When I worked for a credit union, I had a customer whose legal given first name was Prostitute. I remember thinking how someone in their 30s hadn't legally changed it yet?!

I once had a lawyer whose name was Mr Careless of Careless Solicitors.

I know someone whose wifes maiden name was Katz, a common Jewish name, but her first name was an old Yiddish name Fraidle. The Yiddish nickname for Fraidle is Fraidy. They literally gave their child the name Fraidy Katz to grow up with.

Hmm I think it's unfortunate that there are non-english examples here because the idea of the post, i think, was to have english speaking people whose parents didn't put thought into their kids' names. When we were having kids we set as our FIRST goal: what name would not be made fun of? Because we both had been teased at school for having funny names. Well, not funny, just unusual.

There was a petrol shortage in England recently. People went crazy and tried to hoard it all. The reporter sent by the BBC to give an update was named Phil McCann...

Went to HS with a kid named Garry W**g, I remember once in summer school he thought it'd be funny to call up his little brother, Harry W**g in front of the entire class and make him cry, poor kid, he was like 11-12 back then. Proved us all how that didn't stop him though, went to college on a wrestling scholarship, got into SpaceX as an intern, still there, kicked all asses with the name Harry W**g
