Jennifer 8. Lee

Hah! I just gave someone her book last week.

ty harbl

but really I don't know if she really counts w/ what I'm wondering about because
1. she named herself
2. middle names are kind of useless
3. its not integrated into a name

She named herself? I thought it was a not-uncommon thing, believed to be lucky?

naming yourself or the number 8?

ochocinco

I used to work in international student admissions at a university and once got an application from a student in Thailand whose name was D2.

was he aware that emilio estevez was in him

was that really his government name? xp

charlie brown once had an acquaintance named 5

he looked kind of like pigpen, only clean

Isn't Erykah Badu's daughter named Seven?

it would only work if it was spelled se7en or 5even or s3v3n

5even and s3v3n don't work because the numbers only add up to 5 and 6 respectively

oh i didn't know they had to add up to anything

Hey Dayo - I think D2 was his real name! It was listed as such on the application and all accompanying materials.

haha I was just joshin xp

enbb that's cool! was just asking because it's quite common in some Asian countries for people to give themselves their own English names which are unrelated to their government names

Oh yeah, I know. I would say most of our applicants from Asian countries had their real names and then their English names but often those were more along the lines of "Michael" and not D2.

was he aware that emilio estevez was in him

v nearly snarfed my coffee

yeah, me too

out of filthy cups, you savages

it's quite common in some Asian countries for people to give themselves their own English names

This is how I end up doing business with people named things like "Eagle."

r u sure you're not actually doing business with eagles

Well I've never met the guy so I can't rule it out. But pecking out emails with that scimitar of a beak must be hell on a keyboard.

my associate taught a class last year with two kids named 'hitler' and 'grenade' who sat next to each other

what about Hebrew names? :-P

is that a thing

I mean, I don't think Daniel is *that* much more ridiculous than *Eagle*...

"[The Hebrew] God has judged me"... okay...?

daniel is my government name, Eagle is not the government name of laurel's asian contact I don't think

Daniel is a good name imo, and so is Eagle... but both are pretty ridiculous is all I'm saying.

yeah but what about 'grenade'?

anyway if you read the thread carefully I never even commented specifically on' eagle'. I just mentioned 'hitler' and 'grenade' which I think are self-evidently bad names. (well okay grenade is a pretty kickass name)

The point is they are non-name words in our language/culture. I also work with a lot of people who gave themselves real name-y names but uncommon ones, which I find extremely charming, but the words that are not names at all are truly noize.

yeah, hitler is NAGN no matter what.

i'm pretty much over reading threads carefully btw, it's mostly just skimming while i'm on the phone or the toilet tbqh.

it goes both ways though, like when western people give themselves asian names that come phonetically close to their western names but don't really mean anything in that language

I know a lot of people here for example whose english names are just the closest name phonetically to their chinese names. like there are a ton of wincy's and winky's because wing sze seems to be a pretty common Chinese name.

also interesting how a lot of korean-americans are named eunice or eugene or euclid or whatever since I think yoo is a pretty common phoneme in korean? names are interesting, what can I say.

The thing I like about names using Chinese characters (China, Japan, ?) is that there is a poetry in the characters that adds depth far beyond the sound of the name. Seems more two dimensional then non-Chinese language names.
