Tony Discipline

Sab Deol said he was punched twice by Discipline inside the VIP area at the club, prompting his cousin to intervene.

Both men said they had done nothing to provoke the attack.

Discipline smiled and nodded at the jury as he was released from the dock to join his parents, who wept with joy.

He shouted “Yes” before hugging girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa, 19, who plays Lauren Branning in the BBC soap.

Had the case not been thrown out she had been due to give evidence in support of Discipline.

Turner E. Hubby

Duckens Nazon

Chasten Buttigieg

I really thought his name was Buttleg until today

Platt D. Babbitt

19th century photographer who took pictures of a guy while he was spending 18 hours hanging on to a branch before dying down niagara falls after a failed rescue, and then sold it in his tourist trap shop!

My friend has a business meeting with a Đildo tomorrow - apparently a Croatian first name. I would have thought that if you're based in London you would surely go by a different name.

I was going to mention the name of the guy who runs the funeral home that took care of my parents' funeral arrangements but I see that Devilock already mentioned him on August 31, 2015. Let me tell you, though: while Dick Tips has a comedy name and that was a bizarre news story, they were nothing but kind and professional when I had dealings with them and I couldn't have asked for a better company, especially with regards to my mom's arrangements when I was making them by myself.

Another local LOLsome name is the founder of our one big supermarket chain, Howard E. Butt, hence the name HEB. No, I am not making this up, and yes, it is the absolute best supermarket chain around.

The sudden rise in awareness of the surname "Buttigieg" in the U.S. (thanks to Pete Buttigieg) is kinda funny to me because for the longest time I'd always associated that surname with Canadian home organizing guru (kinda a proto-Marie Kondo minus the gimmickry) Hellen Buttigieg, whose show "Neat" became a mini-obsession for me back in 2015 - 2016.

Dick Posthumus

from a cursory google she seems cool but I'm sorry, mayor of san francisco "London Breed", you have a weird name.

who seems like a pretty amazing person otherwise :/

Sithole is a very common South African (Zulu) surname.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sithole

Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache

I named my new foster cat jonjo shelvey

that's too many tollemaches

His surname at birth was "Tollemache-Tollemache", his father having doubled his original surname, "Tollemache", in 1876 after his second marriage. "de Orellana" derives from the naming customs of Spain, where his mother came from, and is a forename rather than part of his surname. The first "Tollemache-Tollemache" also seems to be an unusual forename. Leone was Ralph's sixth son, hence "Sextus". "Fraudatifilius" is Latin for "son of the defrauded one". "Leone" repeats a pattern seen in the names of his elder brothers and sisters (Lyonel, Lyonesse, Lyulph, Lyona, Leo, Lyonella and Lyonetta). His first five initials, "LSD OF", may include a reference to the divisions of the pre-decimal British currency, £sd, for pounds, shillings, and pence followed by half-pence (ob., "obol") and farthings (i.e., quarter-pence). This may be a reference to a financial dispute between his father Ralph and Ralph's first wife's trustees which had driven him bankrupt in 1863.[4] Similarly, an elder brother was named Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nestor Egbert Lyonel Toedmag Hugh Erchenwyne Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma Nevill Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache[5]—his first 15 initials spell "LYONEL THE SECOND". In practice, Leone shortened his name to "Leone Sextus Tollemache".

"He died on active service on 20 February 1917 from double pneumonia" and doubtless would have died of even more pneumonia if he could get it

lol

The text size on my work computer is clearly set way too low because I initially misread that as 'Toiletmachete'.

(And yes, text size is directly responsible for my brain inserting multiple rogue 't's into a given word, thank you for asking.)

The motherlode.

His imagination took flight when he named the many children from his second marriage:

Dora Viola Gertrude Irenez de Orellana Dysart Plantagenet (11 November 1869 – 4 July 1874)

Mabel Helmingham Ethel Huntingtower Beatrice Blazonberrie Evangeline Vise de Lou de Orellana Plantagenet Toedmag Saxon (11 March 1872 – 5 January 1955)

Lyonesse Matilda Dora Ida Agnes Ernestine Curson Paulet Wilbraham Joyce Eugénie Bentley Saxonia Dysart Plantagenet (9 November 1874 – 26 August 1944)

Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nestor Egbert Lyonel (LYONEL) Toedmag Hugh Erchenwyne (THE) Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma Nevill Dysart (SECOND) Plantagenet (21 August 1876 – 1961)

Lyona Decima Veroica Esyth Undine Cyssa Hylda Rowena Adela Thyra Ursuala Ysabel Blanche Lelias Dysart Plantagenet (19 April 1878 – 17 November 1962) (Decima for being the 10th child)

Leo Quintus Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet (19 November 1879 – 1 November 1914) (Quintus for being the 5th son)

Lyonella Fredegunda Cuthberga Ethelswytha Ideth Ysabel Grace Monica de Orellana Plantagenet (14 January 1882 – 3 October 1952)

Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet (10 June 1884 – 20 February 1917) (Sextus for being the 6th son)

Lyonetta Edith Regina Valentine Myra Polwarth Avelina Phillipa Violantha de Orellana Plantagenet (14 February 1887 – 7 January 1951)

Lyunulph Cospatrick Bruce Berkeley Jermyn Tullibardine Petersham de Orellana Dysart Plantagenet (11 January 1892 – 30 November 1960)

Append 'Tollemache-Tollemache' to each of those names, obv.

that's too many kids

recently encountered someone called gr@ham gr@y and i felt my very soul draining right out of my body just mouthing those words to myself in silent horror

That's in addition to initial five, which he sired with his cousin Caroline Tollemache-Tollemache.

poor abigail

Preserved Fishwife

His first name was properly pronounced with three syllables (/prɪˈzɜːrvɪd/ prih-ZUR-vid), and was a reference to being "preserved from sin" or "preserved in grace".

i choose to disregard this

― How to Book Michael Fish (Tom D.)

and her jive-ass slippers

i don't want to go all william blake on this but i did think about posting it to the awesome names thread; this thread just got bumped first. i will readily agree that the name is both awesome and abysmal.

bizarro: it's actually just as funny to pronounce it with three syllables, if not funnier. i tried it. also you get to explain why it's three syllables, which is also some good 18th century yuks

Having spent much of the last year reading books written in or about the 18th Century, I can confirm that I have yet to come across a single name which possesses the magnificence of Preserved Fish.

important detail:

His father, a blacksmith, and grandfather were also named Preserved Fish.[2]

you are fucking kidding me
