my point is that there's just no telling whether these names are family names, traditional culture-specific names, or what, and while i expect this sort of xenophobic derision from dalen i didn't think that i'd see it from the lot of you. it's good to know that jen thinks that her coworker is a slut for having her two kids before she was 20 though (my grandmother did the same thing, that whore), and that she disagree with her decision to give them unique names. that really clarifies things for me.


Actually no. I never see her as being a slut, what I saw was she that was poor and became pregnant at age 15, didn't finish high school and became pregnant again less then two years later, by the same guy no less. I just saw her as being young and uneducated causing her to make bad choices. And the only thing I was inferring regarding her name choices was her lack of education and so she literally made up two names that people have to question what they are three times upon her telling you.

Chase, seriously, simmer down. This is nothing to get all bent out of shape about. People think they're funny and strange, the names that is, so what.

It has nothing to do with you. Besides you'd be the first to say they're just fucking opinions and call someone here an idiot for getting worked up about it in the first place.

I think you're totally missing the point, Jen. This thread was started to make fun and crack jokes at people's names cause they're "different" from your all-American typical names. I don't how anyone could find that, as you put it, funny and strange. Why are they funny and strange, Jen?

Not necessarily. I like Boubacar Aw based on it sound alone. Just because I like the way his name is pronounced means nothing of my judgement of his character or intelligence.

good god. some of the people on this board are such whiners.

some of the fucking names are funny! that's it. we're not shredding on the people with them or the people that gave them the names....the names themselves are hilarious. it's real fucking simple folks. someone living in a different culture might think chase is the most hilarious/ridiculous name they've ever heard. can they not have a fucking laugh at it? are you that thin skinned? jesus christ, get over yourself.

not all of us are going to find the same things in life humorous.

No, this thread was brought up to make fun of people who give their kids fucked up names that prevent them from getting real jobs or being productive members of society. It's not like Jarquezeman Johnson is ever going to be the head of a Fortune 500 company, no matter how smart he is. Sorry, it might be fucked up, racist and stupid, but we didn't make the rules, we just have to play by them. These names are funny, and sad, and if you don't see that, well...

well hey, you could also say the same for anyone named "Sally" or "Ann" or anyone with a uterus. my sister has a Dutch name and fucktards always ask her if our mother was a black women because people are fucking stupid and can't conceive that just because a name's not in the bible and doesn't look like you can sound it out doesn't mean that we made it up.

Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje (I am pretty sure I butchered that...)

Adonal Foyle

Jarrious Jackson

Bijou Phillips (Oh, wait, she white -- so arbiter of taste Dalen shouldn't have any problem w' this)

Mariska Hargitai (Another cracker -- though foreign, so maybe we can give her a pass, but only by half, so not too big of a pass; plus, her mom was Jayne Mansfield, pointedly spelled in an unusual manner (Jane, but with a 'y'? That shit crazy!), so she loses further credibility in choice of name there)

Elijah Blue Allman (A colour as middle-name!? No wonder he ended up gay!)

Kalysta (Name of one of my cousins -- fully caucasoid, college-educated, employed as social-worker)

Rocco Baldelli (Italian-American -- so, why couldn't his folks have given him a normal, but still Italian-sounding name, like John or Anthony? Why, Rocco, why??)

Bhawoh Jue

Kweisi Mfume (Hell, while I'm at -- Barack Obama)

Demi Moore's three daughters: Tallulah, Scout, Rumer

... To be continued.

Yeah Dalen thinks a lot of black things are humorous and Monty thinks a lot of white things are hysterical. I guess it evens out.

Err...if Monty were black.

I'll crack on what I want to (and I ain't cracked on shit in this thread; its too easy too crack on whiners like you OPA....people like you will always work for people like me.

And that ain't got nothing to do with shit; cuz i've had every name from Johnny, to Clifford, to Alonzo, to Demerioso to Red working for me, and ive worked for Alonzo, Melvin, Mark, Shelly and Scoott....But those motherfuckers dont whine; they work. you whine. enjoy your life of servitude.

you people have way too much time on your hands to get upset over this and make it a 3 page thread.
