    I give it about a 98,5% chance, that the ones wanting to name their kid “Mötley”, have no clue how “ö” is actually pronounced.

    source
    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      True, but neither did Mötley Crüe.

      source
    • yetAnotherUser@feddit.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Depends on the language, though they’ll probably pronounce it in a way disregarding every language with ö’s rules.

      I Think Leazel is a traditional German/Austrian name. Wasn’t one of the Von Trapp kids Leazel?

      source
      • django@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        You are probably thinking of “Liesel” a diminutive of the name “Elisabeth”. Pronounciation is LEE-zəl, so maybe this is indeed some weird attempt to use a german name.

      For a bounty hunter? Definitely. For shift supervisor at the run-down Walgreens on the shitty side of town in Des Moines next to a Matress Firm and the CBD shop? Less so.

    What, there’s a misspelling Lae’zel but no Kerlack? Boo!

    …or maybe someone suggested Karlach and she didn’t include it because it’s a list of BAD name suggestions 🤔

    source
    • harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Exactly. Karlach definitely goes on the “best baby names” list.

      I work with a woman whose name is very close to Jaheira. It’s kinda kick-ass actually.

      source
    • Tilgare@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Of all the names on the list, Leazel is absolutely killing me. Everytime I think it I’m laughing again. A little disappointed but you’re probably right - it’s meant to be Lae’zel.

      source
  • sagrotan@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides - I literally laughed my ass of. “SFWA, don’t touch that”. Once I heard a mom calling her little “Riddick”, I couldn’t control myself either. My daughter had a little chubby in her class, his name was “Maxxx”, yeah, with three “x”. (Wasn’t there a comic or something called that way back??) I maybe shouldn’t laugh so loud, our daughters second name is “Galadriel”. But our names were so boring.

    source

      The Maxx, yes. Great comic, good cartoon too. Damn it now I have to go and read it again.

      Come on, man. Mötley is a metal name. Literally. I’d love to be named Mötley. Especially if it came with the umlaut like it’s supposed to.

      Well, there was Liesl Von Trapp. Maybe they just didn’t bother to check the spelling.

  • spicytuna62@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    My first name is pretty uncommon for girls, but I am the only guy I know bearing my first name. I get misgendered a lot that way. Nobody who reads it pronounces it correctly. Nobody who hears it spells it correctly. It’s frustrating sometimes.

    I am comfortable disclosing that my middle name is Michael. It narrows my identity down so very little because it was the most common English boys name every year from 1962 to 1998 and was a top 10 boys name every year from 1943 to 2004.

    So to avoid confusion, I use my middle name when I’m out.

    source
    • WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I mean, “Spicytuna” is traditionally a girls’ name.

      source
    • state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Quis ut deus? That’s Latin for Michael. “Who is as God?”, asked in a menacingly manner, holding a flaming sword to strike down the unbelievers. That’s the archangel Michael’s job.

    Is Mötley’s last name “Crüe”?

    • state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      It’s actually Terry Crews’ youngest child.

      source
    • DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I’ve got good money on both their last naming actually being Crew and them not knowing what motley means.

    Okay, but Raddix Zephyr and Leviathan are fucking cool names. Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides could be if you split it among like, two kids instead of one.

    source
    • skulblaka@startrek.website ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Leviathan doesn’t work as a first name, you’ll get picked on. That’s one that you need to keep on reserve as a middle name so it can be pulled out when necessary.

      Meanwhile Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides has 5 kids and two wives by the fifth grade and will be the coolest kid you’ve ever met.

      source
      • ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        To be fair, you’ll get picked on for anything. Kids are savage.

      • Agent641@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Leviathan can go by Levi, which is a fairly common name usually short for Leviticus

    • 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      If they’re middle names for Sigurd then frankly who cares, it’s a cool name… Two middle names is common and so one more isn’t exactly going overboard
