So we were talking about console playing and leet speaking kids with the attention span of a nut. Now they have given birth to children.

End of the world?

(ps, I wonder what names did Todd gave his kids(if any) ? )

You've gotta love the parents, though. They don't take shit from no one.

"With this name, everyone knows what it means. "

They are idiots. People with odd and crazy names are taunted mercilessly growing up, and even when adults. That child would be miserable. I hate parents that are this stupid.

If I ever have a kid, I'm gonna call it Jesus. That way people will finally know who I am.

 

[Jecrell]

Imagine how many poor children have been named lollerskates, zomg, and roflcopter so far. It's a damn epidemic I tell you!

 

[Wooz]

An extremely popular name in Mexico, my friend. Nihil novi.

If I ever have a boy, I'm going to name him Hitler Mussolini Stalin.

If I have a girl, I'll name her Antartica. Hopefully, she'll turn out to be a frigid, inhospitable person (though with a name like that, I wouldn't be surprised).

This is why sane countries have regulations that forbid parents from giving their children names that aren't included in some kind of official register. Though they can try to have it added.

Yes, including the typo. Please do just that.

Depends on how odd and crazy. Unusual names are still better than, say, Bob for instance...

Only when they're already disliked, actually. Name-based taunting is only an automatic reflex for a short period of juvenal time, and if the kid is popular it won't last.

Besides, they'd just called "4real" "Farrel." It works.

I disagree. Names like safety first are bad enough but are not totally absurd, 4real just makes me want to bean people with rocks because it is complete nonsense. Different is fine, there are many things you can name your child that are different, but don't be absurd.

I really pity the child who's parent's name him/her fucknut or shithead. If it hasn't already happened, IT WILL!

Perhaps you misunderstood me, I said: "Depends on how odd and crazy." I meant that unusual names can be okay as long as they're not absurd, idiotic, insane or something else in line with that. For instance Eki-Eki-Eki-Eki-PTang or Cthulhu would be absurd names, but Elden or Tristan wouldn't.

How the hell did I read your post that wrong? Strange, maybe I'm just slipping in my old age.

I had enough trouble with Donald as my Middle name. being called Ronald MacDonald or Donald Duck was not fun at all and led to numerous suspensions for fighting. So i wouldnt name my kid in leet speak... Thank heavens my mom saved me from being named Johnny Donny... would be in prison for murder now or dead from suicide if had been given that name.

 

[Egis]

kinda gets you thinking how crazy the world can become ...

 

[Dracon M'Alkir]

4real?

What's going on here...

 

[Elric]

For instance Eki-Eki-Eki-Eki-PTang or Cthulhu would be absurd names

Wasn't it Eki-eki-eki P-tang Zoo Boing? Besides, Chtulu would be fun, considering it's strange pronunciation.

 

[Pipboy2000]

Think of being named like "Browser" or "Desktop"... that would suck.

Our story is at the top of the list.

Ecky- ecky- ecky- ecky- pikang- zoop- boing- goodem- zoo- owli- zhiv according to the script, actually. thought that might not actually be what is said in the movie.
