This is a scene from asdfmovie (I can’t remember which one in the series):
"Dad, I’m hungry.
Hi Hungry, I’m Dad.
Why did you name me this way?"

Also, I used to have a friend called BroDeal because he used to flip land. Then he became an Ayahuasca shamen and now people call him “the profit”
I’m rather partial to Ma~

Matilda
I don’t get it

Ma tilde = Matilda
I thought it was a ma squiggly and got confused
I see what you did there!
Slarty Bartfast?
I always wondered about that name. It seemed deliberate, but I didn’t know how. TIL
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slartibartfast
Douglas Adams wrote … that he wanted Slartibartfast’s name to sound very rude, but still actually be broadcastable. He therefore started with the name “Phartiphukborlz”…
“One thing I don’t think I explained in the script book was that I was also teasing the typist, Geoffrey [Perkins]'s secretary, because … she’d be typing out this long and extraordinary name which would be quite an effort to type and right at the beginning he says ‘My name is not important, and I’m not going to tell you what it is’. I was just being mean to Geoffrey’s secretary.”
That’s fantastic and I don’t doubt for a second he was being a smartass with his friend’s secretary. Hell, the first book was begun on a hillside in Amsterdam after plural bottles of wine and who knows what else. Makes perfect sense.
There are hills in Amsterdam? gasp
My friend lived in a house with 4 other guys and all but one was athletic and outdoorsy. The other guy was a WOW addicted Mexican who never left his room except to get food deliveries or cigarettes. The others called him The Brown Recluse.
Drag queens have the best names. My favorite from this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is Amanda Tori Meating.
She should have been an email.
Don’t you mean Annie Mail?
Well played. 👏
Do library cats’ names count? Like Catticus Finch and the Great Catsby?

Not a name, but a fun one…
The Bible is not an archaic edict.
Because you can’t have archaic and edict too!
Here in dutchland this family by the name of ‘Modder’ (meaning mud) gave their baby girl the traditional Frisian name ‘Fokje’, which is female of ‘Fokke’ which is Frisian for Alphonse.
They obviously didn’t speak English as ‘Fokje Modder’ pronounces as ‘Fuck yer mother’.
I read “dutchland” as “Deutschland” (which means Germany)
Also also, herr van Lemmy, das klinkt wie Duitsland!
“Can I be frank with you?”
“Sure! You be Frank and I’ll be Ernest”
Bond movies cringe at this thread.
What’s so wrong about Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead, Honey Ryder, Dr. Molly Warmflash and Octopussy?
And, if we’re being blunt and using British slang, Roger Moore.
Nothing. Those have style. My point exactly.
