one time I worked in a bank and there were index cards for "June Bugge" and "Shona Dick" - both married names, even.

Kind of unrelated, but in French, Sean Connery is hilarious because Connery sounds like 'connerie', i.e. idiocy, cuntishness, a fuck-up or a trifle.

When you sort a list of players in Major League Baseball history alphabetically by first name, this is the full list of all the players between Simon Pond and Sol Carter. It is not a doctored list. It is, however, an important list. pic.twitter.com/zl6fX2Ipku— Grant Brisbee (@GrantBrisbee) September 14, 2019

the opening credits of "The Chinese Stuntman", which I was watching again because I love the theme music, note that the film guest stars "Ban Rando". Their parents may or may not have named them that. Good movie.

xxp most of my relatives and my wife's relatives and the relatives of people I grew up with were from Finland and so were always making up fake finnish names that sound vaguely or explicitly obscene because so many of them sort of sound that way already, Tytti being a perfect example.

Son of Professor Peter Grindrod CBE, apparently. According to his oddly thorough Wikipedia entry the family has four children, "Tom, Chris, Jumbly and Sophie", which raises all kinds of questions.

"Tulikukka" literally means "fireflower"... I've never heard of such a name before, presumably her parents were hippies or something, or she's changed it as an adult.
― Tuomas, Friday, 13 December 2019 08:08 (six years ago)
Hmm, apparently there are 30 or so people in Finland with that name, so I guess it's not unique.
― Tuomas, Friday, 13 December 2019 08:10 (six years ago)
Not a name per se but three cheers for the 'first initial of first name + last name' email address convention at this one dude's place of work that resulted in me receiving correspondence from a 'CHUDSON'.
(Although it still doesn't unseat the champion from my last place of work, where our 'first four letters of last name + first initial of first name' username convention surely hung like an albatross around poor P@trick FukuShima's neck.)
