I guess you should stop speaking English than because that's a British language.
he named the guy with the overbite "under"?
My brother's mate named their baby Rollo.
Pronounced Rolo.
Like the chocolate.
Why
[QUOTE=Magmacow358;50150372]No joke, my mom knew a pair of kids in school named "Hell And Damnation" and "Repent Your Sins".[/QUOTE]
When my grandmother taught high school she knew a boy named "Peanut-Butter and Jelly."

We should all be named Burger instead.
My name is Burger Burger Burger. I'm from Burgerdelphia, Burgsylvania, from the United Buns.
I'm not sure how to feel about my name. It's in another language and you have to pronounce it in a certain way so I keep having to repeat myself when people ask me for it. But it's so uncommon that I was able to register it as a .com domain which kicks ass.

I'm Welsh and literally nobody here cares about Americans using names like Gavin. Although we do laugh at the ones who give their kids random Welsh names that they don't understand the meaning of because they like muh gaem of froens.

There are no "American" names. All are derived from various anglo cultures ranging from German, Welsh, to Scottish or at the least are based on biblical figures who are, noticeably, not American.
Also you shouldn't be talking Collin and your Gaelic derived name.

Last time I checked German was a Germanic language/culture. Then again English is a Germanic language too so I guess you're not to far off.
Didn't someone name their kid Twilight Sparkle as well?

I feel differently about the name Collin. There are plenty of people I know named Collin. Collin has been around in the USA for a long time. I knew 6 different Collins before I was 16 years old. But afaik, Gavin is a recent thing. It's such a Millennial name. I didn't know any Gavins or Liams growing up, and I've yet to see one over the age of 7 so far. It's too british-sounding. Collin, John, Henry, Scott, are all names that I can see working in an American context, but Gavin and Liam are names that Americans have started using in the last decade because millennials are the [I]wooooorst[/I] parents.
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;50157189]I guess you should stop speaking English than because that's a British language.[/QUOTE]
No, I mean that in the context of our culture. Gavin isn't a typical American name. It just sounds so pretentious for an American to name their kid Gavin or Liam.

I mean it's not that I care what the british think about us using the name Liam or Gavin, I just think that whenever I meet someone named Liam or Gavin, that their parents are probably dickheads. Like if I met someone who's name was "Brayden" or something
Wasn't there a celebrity kid named Anna Rexia? Rexia was the middle name.
I knew a guy in high school named James Tiberius Kirk. He was actually James Kirk IV and his parents slipped the middle name in there to make him a Star Trek reference.
Why did Stallone name his kid after period blood ?
Pretty sure some celebrities are just taking the piss out of everyone.
I mean, Tu Morrow?
Pilot Inspektor?!
What the fuck :v:

[QUOTE=Killuah;50151037]He's not even questioning a norm he's simply disregarding that he might not know names and how their shortening happened. That's why it sounds so smug to me.
The 13-year old vibe comes from the part about "Dick", I mean come ON.
Same with foreign names sounding like something naughty.[/QUOTE]
Guess what, "Dick" has to be 13 for a whole year.
Names change with the times just like words do.
