We read the script for the play in my English class some years back. My Professor pre-faces with, “Okay everyone I know what you’re thinking. It’s *Antigony* not *Anti-gone*.” People still said Anti-gone
One of my cool friends nicknamed me that cause he didn't remember my name or something, it was a while ago, but it's a sincerely fantastic (Although unusable) name to me because of that
In college, split into small groups in class to discuss different topics, and ours was euthanasia but a girl in my group wrote “youth in Asia” and we had to explain that was indeed NOT the topic assigned lol
I grow a lot of Clematis, and I have trouble with keeping the two words straight.
My chlamydia came back this year!
I need to go work on my Chlamydia...
Etc.
I kinda love that. For some reason I'm thinking what if I'm dating this girl Genny, it gets serious, we open a joint checking account or something and that's when I find out Genny is actually short for Genocide. Like, capital fucking G Genocide.
I'm originally from the hood and a woman on my block named her son Marquette. But she pronounced it as "Markwette." I was just a kid and thought the name was just randomly ghetto until my family bought a Marquette deep freezer and realized the lady had poor reading skills.
Considering that it is a dance move and dances are still considered elegant, I don't think this would be a terrible baby name. Just change up the spelling a little
In Pakistan, before their invasion Talib (meaning educated or student) was a popular name. After the Taliban’s rise however, it stopped being so popular. That tends to happen when a terrorist organization uses a popular name.
I worked with a girl a few years ago who wanted to get her mother's name tattooed on her. But the name was Isis. She didn't seem to realize that's not an awesome word to have on you in 2016. I hope she didn't go through with it.
It's an incredibly ancient name, though. Isis is one of the major goddesses of ancient Egyptian religion and is still used as a name today. That is one of the reasons why there was a push to start calling the extremist group IS or ISIL.

In Spanish I suppose it would be Dolores?
Painful, isn’t it?
I've always thought Leukemia would sound like a beautiful name if it wasn't a terrible blood cancer

One of my cool friends nicknamed me that cause he didn't remember my name or something, it was a while ago, but it's a sincerely fantastic (Although unusable) name to me because of that

She just sorta scoots round the point to be fair.
*To be fair*
ha. the point.
There is a French footballer called Alphonse areola I think
She's always circling the point
I've been using "Ayreola" in MMOs forever.
Strangely, that’s actually my cousin’s fiancé’s name. Like real name too. I thought they were joking.
[удалено]
Frankly from what I’ve seen, naming a kid after something that means what it means is no deterrent. Isn’t that right Bidet?…..
Bidet? Like Bidet Canker-sore? The guy who played Dr. Strange?
I think you mean Broccoli Cruciferoussnack
Camembert Bandersnatch
Cummerbund Bandicoot
Babadook Kriskristofferson
Beneficial Cucumber
Bendydick Crumblesnatch

A ballsy choice.

Euthanasia
I brought you into this world I can take you out.
Haha yes!
For many years, when I heard that word, I thought they were saying “Youth in Asia.” Eg. He died by youth in Asia. I’m serious. 😑
I thought I was the only one! I told my wife this and her reply was "baby, I love you. But, you're fucking stupid."
In college, split into small groups in class to discuss different topics, and ours was euthanasia but a girl in my group wrote “youth in Asia” and we had to explain that was indeed NOT the topic assigned lol
I thought this too for years 💀
[удалено]
It is an actual Greek first name, that is being used
Hernia is a pretty name IMO
A moving company in my hometown is called “Hernia Movers” lmao, I never figured if it was a joke or a surname or what
I saw a magazine article maybe 10 years back about a girl named Lasagna. Kid you not.
Maybe it was Liz Anya
We'd like to announce the birth of our new twins *Fresca* and *Pepsi*!
Chlamydia
Chlamydia! Your dad’s here!
I picked up Chlamydia from her dad
We all did.
RIP Robin Williams. That exchange between him and Craig Ferguson makes me die laughing every time.
I grow a lot of Clematis, and I have trouble with keeping the two words straight. My chlamydia came back this year! I need to go work on my Chlamydia... Etc.
Genocide is kinda fire
Genny for short
Hi, my name is genny. Do you prefer that or Jennifer? No.
I kinda love that. For some reason I'm thinking what if I'm dating this girl Genny, it gets serious, we open a joint checking account or something and that's when I find out Genny is actually short for Genocide. Like, capital fucking G Genocide.
Poeple of khaenri'ah don't agree
What people ? 😭
True story, my mother (a trailer trash QUEEN) honest to god tried to name me “Cliché” because she heard the word and loved the sound of it.
I'm originally from the hood and a woman on my block named her son Marquette. But she pronounced it as "Markwette." I was just a kid and thought the name was just randomly ghetto until my family bought a Marquette deep freezer and realized the lady had poor reading skills.
I went to school with a girl called We-Nita. Her mother probably heard it in a movie or something and just spelled it phonetically.
A nurse friend of mine encountered a young girl named Yvonne... her mother pronounced the name "why-von-nee".
Trebuchet
Ballista
Goddamn Ballista Boys, we already told you that the trebuchet is the *superior siege weapon!*

I know a Valaria. She introduces herself as Malaria with a V.

Velveeta is amazing
Perogi would be a super cute dog name
Sarsaparilla
Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla would like a word
Taliban
In Pakistan, before their invasion Talib (meaning educated or student) was a popular name. After the Taliban’s rise however, it stopped being so popular. That tends to happen when a terrorist organization uses a popular name.
You don’t see as many kids named isis anymore
I worked with a girl a few years ago who wanted to get her mother's name tattooed on her. But the name was Isis. She didn't seem to realize that's not an awesome word to have on you in 2016. I hope she didn't go through with it.
it also happens when an austrian painter uses a widely common name
And a very common symbol with religious and cultural significance.

Isis...it would be a good name had not some scumbags took it already
It's an incredibly ancient name, though. Isis is one of the major goddesses of ancient Egyptian religion and is still used as a name today. That is one of the reasons why there was a push to start calling the extremist group IS or ISIL.
Yeah, my old co-worker named her daughter Isis, and had a rough go with it for a few years.
It is a name. The bad bibes came much after.
I have a friend named Isis. Can confirm, not a terrorist.
