"Do you ever wish your name was Bridget or something?lol"
This wank is a few days old, but it's still growing.

In the linguaphiles community on LJ, [info]ein_suender, who is apparently a little lacking in the social graces department, posts about an IM conversation he recently had with an African American friend of his named Dishhawntée. He comments that her name is "kinda . . . weird," and posts a transcript of their conversation:

Her: It's just one of those black girl names I guess.
Me: When you were little did it take you forever to learn to spell it?

Her: not really
Me: Do you ever wish your name was Bridget or something? lol

Her: lol
Me: How did your mother come up with it?

Her: i dont know
Her: i like my name


The OP goes on to muse about how this particular naming trend got started, and asks if parents are more inclined to give such unusual names to girls than to boys.

The first few responses are fairly neutral in tone (although a few are pretty cringe-worthy in content), and then [info]militantgoat brings the wank to the party:

are you assuming all the people in this community are white or do you think it is acceptable to be really offensive about people in their presence? I can't believe the original post and the use of 'typical black girl name' and that the only comments people have managed to make relate to spellings!

And much fapping is had by all.

Hah! We had this conversation in our history class about a month ago, and it was just as interesting. My history prof suggested that it's because in the days of slavery, women were allowed to name their daughters so they used family names and non-white ones, where the sons were named by the slave masters so they wound up with 'normal' names. And while say, Polish immigrants eventually integrated their family names into Americanizations, African Americans never did.

Fap, fap, fap.

...er, but judging by the post, it was the one with the "typical black girl name" that was saying that...

(ZOMG I'm using a black icon)

How did [info]militantgoat bring the wank to the party? I think starting a thread that's all HARHAR THEM BLACK PEOPLE SURE DO NAME THEIR KIDS FUNNY SHIT!!!111 is where the wank got started.

Dude, people have a hard time spelling *my* name correctly, and it's been semi popular in the US for the last 50 years or so.

Serena. Not Serina, or Seryna, or Syrina or anything like that. I think the RANDOM VOWEL OF DOOM thing is taking over, and they're just starting to assume that anyone under thirty is secretly a Uniquely Named Snowflake.

Dishhawntée

How would you even pronounce that?

Also, as somebody whose job includes a great deal of personalized baby memorabilia, I can state with authority that people give their kids stupid names no matter what colour they are.

There was a pair of twin boys once called 'Apollo' and 'Ulysses'. When I showed my boss, she said, and I quote: "by the time those boys are out of junior high they're gonna have balls like steel-plated grapefruit!"

The bad one for a girl was 'Cyncerity'. I didn't even realize it was a 'real word' until I tried to say it out loud while showing the customer the result. She'll probably turn out to be the kind of kid who tries to make people feel bad by telling them she's got cancer when they mock her Mary-Sue fanfiction.

Our count of Ways To Spell 'Madison' is currently at sixteen. I don't have them all handy, but I can tell you that the letter Y will need years of therapy and may never recover from the mental scars.

Heh, this just reminds me of a black female comic I saw years ago on t.v. Her name was something like Candy and she said that her friends always gave her a hard time for having a "white girls name".

Names have colors dontcha know?

C'mon, white people give their children equally ridiculous names, whether it be due to spelling or just plain "Oh, it seemed like a good idea at the time".

I managed to escape the hippie names my mother bestowed upon my younger siblings. My poor baby brother's gonna have uranium balls when he gets out of school. Why? My mother named him "Peace Sundancer". My sister? Harmony Uniah Grace.

Stephen Fry: What kind of name is that?
Hugh Laurie: Well, it's my name.
Stephen Fry: Unusual, isn't it, Mr. [drops lighter]?
Hugh: If I had a pound for every time someone said that . . .
Stephen: And how do you spell [drops lighter], Mr. [drops lighter]?
Hugh: It's as it sounds.
Stephen: Uh huh . . . yeah, but I wonder if you'd mind actually spelling it for me, would you?
Hugh: Well, I mean, can't you just-
Stephen: I'd be very grateful, if you wouldn't mind.
Hugh: N, i, p, p, l hyphen e.
Stephen: . . . Nipple.


Conclusion: Hugh Laurie is a secret black man.

My name is Jenee, which is pronounced like Renee but with the obvious difference of a J. My Dad's name is Jeff, my Mom is Renee. Ta-da! I can't tell you the amount of times people have assumed I was black. It was expecially funny when I was dating a black man named Nick for a few years, since we got confused for the opposite race constantly.

Also, what the hell is up with every other person on the comm going "OMG I'M CAJUN FRENCH YOU WHORE!" Do I have to join this comm now out of heritage obligation or something? Because that's random as hell.

My younger brother was almost named Geronimo. Luckily my parents came to their senses. Also, my sister was named for an elephant. True story!

Here is my theory about names (hem hem):

Every name sounds batshit to somebody. My job is to try to spell it correctly, pronounce it as accurately as I'm able, and remember it the next time I meet this person. That's hard enough. I don't need to add the onus of being funny about the name or commenting on its origin, spelling, aesthetics, ethnicity, or ANY OTHER DAMN THING.

That is my theory, which I have, which is mine. Hem hem.

For anyone who can read Japanese, here's a Japanese bad baby names site, proving that crazy-ass names are not limited to English.

Some of my favorites are Anaru (anal), Sefure (slang for sex friend, i.e. fuck buddy), Rabia (labia), Marufoi (Malfoy)...

There are also a lot of western names forced into kanji, normal kanji read as English words, "bad" kanji (like using kanji that mean sorrow/death/ugly/horrid and other words you wouldn't want to name your child), and all sorts of other fun stuff.

All I can think of is the Freakonomics chapter on modern and/or strange names.
