abysmal real names

Uh oh here come sic

I was contacted by a headhunter with the name of Pr3slee Fudge the other day.

I really have a hard time believing someone named their daughter Trashelle or Hilaria.

Hilaria doesn't seem that unusual or abysmal. Isn't it just the Spanish (or perhaps more broadly Latin) equivalent of Hilary?

Hilario is the male equivalent.

'Trashelle' is a really hard one to comprehend; if a fictional character who is the wife of a wealthy construction company owner and right-wing nutjob from suburban Boise had that name it would seem absolutely over the top and unbelievable.

Ok, I'll concede on Hilaria...but Trashelle? That is one of those things that is if this is all a simulation then the creator is just having LOL.

my sister never got over the one kid she taught in her junior high class name Lemóngelo pronounce sadly as you might imagine it was.

lol. but wouldn't the accent suggest Leh-MON-jeh-lo?

(with the same rhythm as 'D'Angelo'?)

Sorry if I'm missing the joke, but you know this is an urban legend, right? https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-feb-07-oe-daum7-story.html

Lemongello is a real surname though. There was a popular cabaret singer in the 1970s named Peter Lemongello (accent on the "mon"). He had a cousin named Mark Lemongello who was a professional baseball player in the major leagues (late '70s).

Trivia tidbit: In Martin Scorsese's The Irishman Joey Gallo gets whacked at Umberto's Clam House after a celebratory evening at the Copacabana where Jerry Vale (Steven Van Zandt) is the featured singer. But in the real life incident in 1972, Gallo had actually been at the Copacabana enjoying Peter Lemongello's performance.

I will concede that it's possible that forks's sister had a student named Lemongelo after the surname Lemongello, but it would be an incredible coincidence, given that I've been hearing since I was a kid that somebody's sister or cousin or sister's cousin totally had a student named "Lemonjello" with a stress on the first o, they swear, why would they lie.

She swears, why would she lie?
Tbf I don’t always trust my sister so…

some context here

Lemonjelly.ky only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it named their kid something really weird.

She don't use lemmonjello

Thanks again, Wiki:Matt Abts (born September 30, 1953) is an American drummer,[1] best known as one of the founding members of the rock band Gov't Mule... Abts joined (Warren) Haynes and Allen Woody, who had both been members of The Allman Brothers Band, to form Gov't Mule in 1994. Before that, Abts and Haynes played with Dickey Betts; Haynes and Woody also played with Dickey in The Allman Brothers Band.

Matt Abts is merely impossible to pronounce so I'm assuming Allen Woody the abysmal name there?

Matt Abts, Allen Woody, Dickey Betts: I bow to all three (re xpost progression from abysmal to awesome), but especially the first, because, yes, say it and you sound like you're having a stroke ("LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GIVE IT UP FOR)

Sounds like a small college focusing on 70s soft rock and muskrat biology.

Several years ago a family in the local area named their son Walt Disney Christmas:
https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/5358651.disney-he-look-like-his-father/

Thus giving him the full name Walt Disney Christmas Pain (his dad's surname is Pain). "Dad Nicholas David, who celebrated his 40th birthday on New Year's Eve, is such a big fan of Disney, he had Snow White and all seven dwarves tattooed on his back at the age of 18." Imagine if that man had been a huge fan of early turbojet designs. He might have called his son Centrifugal Flow Jet Turbine Pain instead.

I used to know someone on Facebook called Lemon Otter, but that is of course a fantastic name:

Boris Johnson

Alexander is his real first name btw.

Yes, which makes his decision to go by "Boris" even more puzzling.

Also: Elon Musk.

More memorable. When you say Boris everybody knows who you're referring too. I'm not sure if it's true, but I've heard his family call him Alexander.

I always think of "Boris the Spider."
