What's in a name?
« on: December 03, 2018, 10:45:06 AM »
Letters, apparently.

https://news.sky.com/story/girl-5-mocked-by-airline-staff-because-of-her-name-11567310

Mother names daughter "Abcde" and then complains that people want to slap the parents. She doesn't need to be slapped -- she needs to be whacked upside the head with the club bat.

Teacher asked the woman how to pronounce it.  Mother was irate.  "it's La Dasha.   The dash is NOT silent"

For a while I was toying with the idea of changing my name to Illegible Scrawl.

But I just left it as Terrance Scrawl.

It's kinda hard to believe there were 39 people named Nosmo King before that one.

No no, that would be Nosmo King XL.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Do they even teach Roman Numerals these days? 

I won't ask if kids learn it.

I can't take credit for this, as I found it on a meme that's circulating on Facebook related to the Abcde incident.

You could name your son "1234".  Pronounced Juan Tutrefor.

You're right, but the humor would be lost.  Actually, I guess the 39th would be Nosmo King IXL, wouldn't it?  Or VIIIIL ?  It's been a while.

Nosmo King XXXIX.

However, Nosmo King XL has DIFFERENT humor associated with it. And probably a more likely name than Nosmo King XXXX. (Which, of course, was supposed to be a stand in for a last name, but I had to supersize it.)

Ah, thanks.  Every time I deal with Roman Numerals I have to look them up again.  I remember being taught how they worked in grade school, and I remember seeing the dates for movies being in long strings of Xs, Ms, Cs, Vs, Ls, and Is.  But that was back in the late MCMXLs.

(Yes, I used an on-line converter.  Didn't want to go through all that crap again.)

Even now when I see the MCM(x)(x)s pop up on the screen I try to decipher them. But I have not been getting as many because of lack of seeing them anymore. Another thing those youngsters these days have no idea about.   :old:

Yet another one:

Quote
Squire Sebastian Senator

Quote
“He will not be allowed to have a nickname, he is to be called by his full and complete first name,” she writes.

The woman defended her choice, claiming her family is descended from a long line of “both squires and senators.”

“If you look back in our family tree, the survival of this clan is literally rooted in squiredom. We are all related to senators too,” she writes. “This name conveys power. It conveys wealth. It conveys success.”

“My baby’s name WILL be a revolution,” she continued.

Any bets on if the mom is on the dole or not?

Wow.  I followed the link and read the Facebook announcement.  According to the expectant mom, Squire Sebastian Senator is only the boy's first name, not his whole name.
