Any fellow millenial who tried to bring back names from the 1880-1940s. They are all terrible. Your children all have old great grandma names.
The barge that they held asylum seekers on in England was called the Biddy Stockholm which I though sounded like one of your Granny's spinster mates.
 
Recently a friend of my mum's passed away. All my life I thought her name was Vee. I've now found out that her name was actually Venus but she hated it so just called herself Vee. I can see a lot of people with the names mentioned in this thread doing this.

We saw a bit of this in my family - mostly in the boomer and older generations. The first name would be some "traditional family" name enforced on the birthing parents by some bossy matriarch, but the kid would always be known by some other name.

For example I had an uncle named "Richard", but he was always just called "Les" which was his middle name. A bunch of people at his funeral found out his actual name was Richard for the first time!
 
Anything that is an American location is just a hick name.

Dakota
Montana
etc.

And idiots who take liberties with the spelling of names, like they are making some sort of statement about individualism are just sheep.

Rebekkah
Dannyelle
etc.

You're morons. All of you.

I'm guessing they're a distant cousin of Yahoo? Sounds like he could be a decent offensive linesman though

Pretty sure DeColdest Crawford has already been nominated in this thread back when this ad first came out
