Ridiculous Names (Cont)

 

are still cunts.

Many moons ago, I posted a nom about parents who gave ludicrous or downright stupid names to their kids. Such names ranged from the likes of ‘Moon Unit’ and ‘Dweezil’, to ‘Bay Atlas’, ‘Buddy Bear’ and ‘Rocket Zot’. At the extreme range of bizarreness, some poor kids had been stuck with handles such as ‘Anus’, ‘Superman’ and ‘Tulula Does the Hula From Hawaii’. This nom is, I’m sure, safe in the IsAC vault for future generations to wonder over.

Anyway, in a follow-up cunting, I’m pleased to introduce a bit of piss-taking in a similar vein from across the pond, in the form of the ‘College Football All Name Team’ for 2025. As the name suggests, the list is a selection of college footballers who possess what I’ll term ‘interesting’ names. Now such lists aren’t in any way official, but are created by fans and media outlets for a bit of fun, so may vary. However the 2025 list linked is, I think, pretty representative;

  1. When my dad asked me what we were going to name our imminent daughter, I jokingly said: ‘Placenta’.

    “Oh, that’s a beautiful name” was his reply.

    😂

  2. Aircraft registered in the UK are issued with a five letter identifier beginning with the letter “G”. One airline registered an ATP (Advanced Turbo Prop) as G-OATP, Go ATP!, geddit? Everyone referred to the plane as “Goat pee”. A man registered his light aircraft G-ONAD.

  3. It must be a bit weird going through life with a moniker such as Da’Realyst’ or ‘Decoldest’.

    Very odd. Still, better than ‘Anus’ I suppose.

    A good ‘un from recently was the footballer who played briefly for the Villa, who rejoiced in the name of Marvelous Nakamba. His brother was named Tremendous.

    Morning all.

  4. It’s surprising how many countries have baby naming laws.
    You can’t just name a child whatever you want.

    In Germany for instance, you must be able to tell a child’s gender from its first name.
    See how that would work in the UK!

    Many other countries have lists of banned baby names.
    These are compiled to try and ensure that the child is not disadvantaged.

    You have to stick to an approved list of names, and rightly so in my opinion.

    • If I had been German I would have called my son Adolf instead of Mark. By now he might have violated Poland’s borders and become a published author. Mark is a lovely lad but he has never had that sort of get up and go.

  5. There are hundreds of names that you can’t call kids in Iceland.

    Not only because of the naming laws but also because there is no C in their alphabet. (their country is called Ísland in their own language).

    That would fuck up Charles and Camilla.

    Of course nobody from Iceland can confirm this here, because they can’t type the name of this site.

    • It must be a real pain to have an unfortunate surname, like Kuntz or Dick. There really are people in the world whose surname is Fuck.

      There was a girl at my primary school many many years ago whose surname was Booby.

      Does anyone remember Judith Durham of The Seekers? Her birthname was Judith Cock. You can see why she thought it advisable to have a new name.

    • Absolutely, esp. as she professes herself to be a ‘devout Muslim’. In the past, she has strongly espoused the Palestinian cause, and now bears the political responsibility for the policing of pro- Palestine marches. To be fair, she was unequivocal in her condemnation of the Hamas atrocities in 2023.

      Could be interesting to watch this one pan out.

  6. Moon Unit sounds like the name of a Chinky take-away in Sarf London (we used to have one round here called the “Moon Bowl” – used to stink like a zookeepers boots).

    Talking of silly names, why the fuck did the toolmaker call his son “Keir” or the friend of Kray plump for “Wesley” – real poofters names.
