Angkor Waht (Neil S), Friday, 11 April 2014 15:11 (twelve years ago)

volker is the onomastic reduction of nationalism-volkism -- Old High German folc "folk" + heri "army"; cognate to Fulcher, an obsolete name used in England in the Middle Ages

Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Friday, 11 April 2014 15:15 (twelve years ago)

Fulcher became Fulker in England.

there was a college baseball player named Quintavious Drains who i was hoping would make it to the majors but seems like it hasn't happened

ciderpress, Tuesday, 15 April 2014 20:45 (twelve years ago)

Reince Priebus is still the reigning king of abysmal names imo

Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 21:48 (twelve years ago)

I still can't believe that is a real name

a strange man (mh), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 21:53 (twelve years ago)

i went to his wikipedia page to hear how his name is pronounced and every time it's kinda shocking how bad it is
you can't say it without sounding like him, which is rather alarming

As a consolation prize you can have Cleveland Browns player Barkevious Mingo.

bi-polar uncle (its OK-he's dead) (Phil D.), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 01:11 (twelve years ago)

Barkevious has an older brother called Hughtavious

Quintavious Drains sounds like a supporting character from Gormenghast

Number None, Wednesday, 16 April 2014 09:35 (twelve years ago)

speaking of NFL players, I always liked Yancey Thigpen because of his unusual name. He was a Steelers player IIRC.

Angkor Waht (Neil S), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 09:46 (twelve years ago)

Thurman Munson (sic?). Even as a kid the name made me flinch.

I have a friend named B@rby who married a guy with the last name "B@rb@ra"

getting strange ass all around the globe (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 16:23 (twelve years ago)

having @ signs in your name is pretty abysmal, yeah

ciderpress, Wednesday, 16 April 2014 16:27 (twelve years ago)

i hate the name b4rb4r4 on its own

Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:31 (twelve years ago)

from Latin barbaria "foreign country," from Greek barbaros "foreign, strange, ignorant," from PIE root *barbar- echoic of unintelligible speech of foreigners (compare Sanskrit barbara- "stammering," also "non-Aryan," Latin balbus "stammering," Czech blblati "to stammer").

Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:32 (twelve years ago)

Well im sure someone somewhere named Barbara hates your name.

i was told how to pronounce 'nakhchivan' recently

halber mensch halber keks (imago), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:34 (twelve years ago)

can remember having an argument with my latin teacher about that etymology when i was about 13, he vociferously argued against the onomatopoeic root

Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:34 (twelve years ago)

how should one pronounce it then? xp

Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:35 (twelve years ago)

na-ker-hee-chee-van, basically - two extra syllables where you don't rly expect them

halber mensch halber keks (imago), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:37 (twelve years ago)
