I was once neighbour to a regilious youthgroup in a hostel in Nicaragua. I remember Chastity, Prudence and Charity... they partied like there is no tomorrow and gossiped nonstop when the leaders of the group where not around

Sounds like her mom was trying to tell her something.

Their other kids are Exa dark sidrael and techno mechanicus. Surprisingly, the kids musk has with other women have pretty average names

Now that's also just rude.

a) how is that legal and b) why didn't they change that as soon as they were able?

Yeah, we can name children "Property".

The airline staff who thought it was an error on the ticket and the mother got offended that somone could make fun of her child’s ”name”

Seems a bit fishy. Could've named her Gil-da.

When you are mentally a child yourself you should not raise kids

Good name for a Murloc!

I know a Christopher Christy

We do have Phillip Phillips so there's that.

I used to work with a Vietnamese guy whose birth name was long & difficult to pronounce. Once he became a US citizen, he changed his name & chose the same 1st & last name, but with an s at the end. He told me it was his favorite American name, so why not double up on it. He was an awesome guy.

My high school chemistry teacher was Rob Robb

I know a John Johnson. He's a teacher

Well known in literature... Humbert Humbert from Lolita.

The author of the hilarious British classic "Three Men in a Boat" was named Jerome K. Jerome.

Or when a father names his son after himself, Urgh...

My father was William Williams but he was known by his second name, Dave.

William Williams was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Our family lawyer is called Alistair McAllister

Major Major Major.

I know a Samuel Samuels, and a Johnny Johnson. I think its not too uncommon having similar first and second names.

Dr. Robert Bobby - His name is Bobby Bobby?

My high school science teacher was called Morgan Morgan...

Oh I don't know. Those are at least real names.

Thomas Thomas is a common name from Wales.

William Williams was our postman in Pembroke VA

Robert Roberts, Richard Richardson etc.

Did you stutter?

It's unfortuneate when your first name is the same as the last name of the man you fall in love with. Or, if you're a man and you have a horrible last name, like "Stoolfire" You cannot change it, and no girl wants to change to that last name...:(

Robert Roberts

I knew a Vera Vera.

My driving instructor was Thomas Thomas. "But just call me Tom" he used to say.

Peder Pedersen, Eric Ericson.

I know a woman first name Shirley who married a guy with the last name Shirley... So Shirley Shirley actually lives on Shirley Rd 😂😂😂

I went to school with Mike Josephs and Joey Michaels.

I work with a William Williams.

I knew a Valentijn Valentijn.

I think this trend is lazy it’s like they never bother to come up with a name or names in the whole nine months of pregnancy and tacked it on at the last second.

I went to school with a George McGeorge

Francis Francis

In elementary school, an Idan Dedan was constantly mentioned over the loudspeaker.

Went to school with a girl named Morgan Morgan.

Thats cheesy 😉 (I’ll show myself out)

I interviewed a young lady with Mle written as the first name. I was thinking Mm-leh Nope. It's pronounced M L. E (Emily).

So is Elon Musk.

You have to stretch at this one being a bad name. I've known a number of Curt's over the years and none of them have ever had an issue with the name.

LOL somone saw the expendables and missunderstood the name

And they always tell you it heaven spelled backwards

Well, the original is using Newt but is named Newton. And using surnames for a second name is a perfectly normal tradition. That being said, the main problem here is not the name itself but being named after this sorry excuse of a human being.

I concur, because Hokkien is my mother tongue and the literal translation for Yao Siew Kia means "Demon child" aka naughty, nasty kid.

I am the fifth generation with the same name. It caused confusion with creditors and such for years. But I wouldn't have it any other way. It was really funny when the Army tried to digitize all the BUPERS files while I was in. Suddenly I had stuff on my service record from the battle of Gettysburg.
