    I highly agree with how they do it in Iceland. There is a list of 3000 or so names that you can pick from, that’s it.

    Dumb people should not be allowed to pick names for human beings.

    Leviathan is just fucking awesome. Imagine some big power lifter dude and he’s named Leviathan.

    “Cool, but what’s his real name?”

    “That IS his real name”

    I see there are people who think they are on a character creation screen while others just don’t think at all.

    Dusti Rose sounds like a 40 year old chain smoker that looks 65

    Why would you name your kid that

    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.

      Hudson is pretty cool

      Adonis is a loaded name destining the kid for bullying and therapy, unless he really is God’s gift to women

        I know of an Adonis. Skinny gay kid that was really into gymnastics and choir. He went by his middle name, don’t remember what it was.

    Didn’t some celebrity just name their kid Raddix?

    I just Googled it, it was Cameron Diaz.

    When I hear Raddix, I think Raditz from DBZ.

    Edit: Wait, Leviathan? Oh, so does this mean the name Behemoth is back on the table?

    I’ve always felt like the names we pick for ourselves ought to be more valid than the ones others choose for us. We should choose names for ourselves at different stages of life, and just tack them on in whatever order we like. You want something more fun than mummy and daddy gave you? Knock yourself out. Were your idiot parents drunk when they signed the papers? Well you can fix that at 12 if you like. We are who we choose to be and this the goddamn future.
