Dave's Not Here

[78]

Whatever happened to the idea of simple names? Like Larry, Don, Dick? Why does everyone now have to be Oliver, Lucas, Liam? I've never heard of a Communist named Fred. I know plenty who go by Aria.

What goes?

I have one friend who calls me "Dick"... but when he's drunk calling, he starts by asking, "Got any cheese, Dick?" So there's your answer, buddy.

Well, my kids both have complicated family names, so I’m probably not the best person to chime in. But what circles are you running in that you know multiple communists, let alone “plenty” with the same name?

My kid's 11. Last birthday he was invited to included a Jaxson, a Maverick, and a Legend.

I'm not making that up.

I now know 2 boys named Maverick.

My little girl is 3. Her classmates include a Sahana (with an "n", not like the desert), an Aria, a Zahara (like the desert but with a "z"), a Maya, and an Arabella. All ending in "a".

I do think it is much easier for little girls to get their stage names at birth rather than having to make one up later in life.

We used to live across the street from a young lady whose parents named her "Marcedes". No idea if she ended up pole dancing for a living...but I think the odds are good she did.

That's a really ugly pole dancer.

Yeah, that's the only other person I have ever heard of with that name also.

I didn’t even know they had Section 8 out where you live. Glad you made it out of there.

An interesting chapter in the first Freakonomics book had to do with people's names correlated with their success rate. I won't spoil it for you.

I’ve heard of three boys in a class named Jaxson, Jaxon and Jackson. Their classmate is Arson.

My mom named me something funky and I’ve hated it all my life. To go back in time I’d tell my younger self to change my name. It’s always misspelled and mispronounced. I feel so bad for these kids.

Lenin’s body is preserved and displayed on a mausoleum on Red Square in Moscow. The American Embassy kids used to refer to him as “Fred the dead Red.”

You mean CDGator is not your real name.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Anyone ever look into the meaning of their name?
1
often offensive : one afflicted with cretinism

2
informal : a stupid, vulgar, or insensitive person : CLOD, LOUT
… they started doing stupid boy stuff, like trying to untie our straps and pour sand down our bathing suits. Really, guys were such cretins

I lied. I don't know any. But it sounded good, Jack.

The names millennials are naming their kids are freaking embarrassing. There's a lot of "Mavericks" running around. Lots of Easton's, Westons. Still waiting on some northtons and southtons. Don't laugh, they're coming.

Jayden
Brayden
Jaylen
Dakota
Emerson
Lincoln
Jackson
Jaxson (yeah...)
Jace
Chase
Maverick
Easton
Weston
Jameson
Braylen
Hudson
Ryder
Crosby
Kensley

I know at least 2 kids of millennials with every one of these names. It's really bad in the baseball and football community. It just keeps getting dumber by the day.

How about a David or Jack ffs!?!?

My grandson is Easton. Named so by his father...Landon.

Both named from hockey.
