DARKPLANT RISING Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I honestly think Friday is okay for a name. Smelly Head isn't. Same thing as what Admiral Tim said. But, research shows that people with normal names (Michael, John, David, Alex, etc.) are more likely to suceed in their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, but normal names are so boring. Think of it like this. If you had a choice, would you rather be a normal-named, bland, boring, generic person who will eventually kill yourself, or a fun, smart, creative person with a cool name who would never kill themselves?

Smelly Head is not a cool name. [/quote] (shrugs) I just used the two names that were already in use through in the thread as a 'normal' one and a 'obscure' one. You do realise that he was implying your given name has a direct effect on your entire personality and that people with common names will probably kill themselves because of it, such stupid comments should be derided and mocked. Although having such a stupid name would of course affect your personality... in that you'd be scared for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I feel that just as a child has a responsibility to respect its parent, the parent should at least name the child something badass Wait, is Dovahkiin a banned name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Friday is a silly name to ban. Suppose that comes from me being an Addams Family (Wednesday) and DragonFable Fan (they have a NPC called Thursday). Some of them you can just tell the child would be bullied for the names given.

My black neighbors named their Asian child Sha'Liqua. Poor girl... She's had to endure 13 years of bullying for being Asian and having a mixed name: Sha'Liqua Michelle Chang. And my [s]gay couple[/s] Eskimo neighbors named their lndian boy Habeeb. Poor kid's never going to understand women. He thinks he should be dating men. That one should be banned too. (I live in an ethnically diverse neighborhood. The only white people are me and my family, and the Atheist woman-hating neighbor who swears at you while you play songs sung by women in your car.

FindingTheEverlight Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Nothing racist, but I don't think most western black people would be able to name their children obscure names of the lived in Scandinavia. I don't think names like Treysean or La Quisha would work well over there, being as there's some sort of list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
