For example, I was doing research for a blog article and found a paper by a guy named Christian Messenger. That man was definitely destined for missionary work, but the paper was about football.
I knew a guy who is called Gerard Menfroy. This is pronounced exactly the same as « J’ai rarement froid » in French, which means « I rarely feel cold ». He was Heating engineer.
I used to work in a call center and once took a call from a guy named Jacob J. Justice. Guy should’ve been a Marvel superhero.
I work in a 911 dispatch center, we used to have a frequent caller in our area whose first name contained the word “trash,” and, well, they were trashy. We had cops there pretty much every day for some dumb trashy domestic bullshit.
Also took a call from a guy who’s name was very similar to “Roger Rogar.” Not his actual name, given the nature of my job I don’t want to give out any potentially identifiable information about my callers, but same basic pattern, first name exactly the same as his last name except for one letter and, at least as well as I could hear over the phone, pronounced exactly the same.
Also a truly dumbfounding amount of girls named things like princess and diamond.
I went to college with a girl whose dad was a firefighter captain with the last name Justice. They actually did make a comic about him because he was a Captain of the firefighters.
Or a judge
My name is Hugh G Rection.
Architect or porn star?
Just kind of a dick.
The pilot on my plane a few years back was named Max Power
Did he sing this when the plane is ready to accelerate?
It’s the name you love to say.
I bet he got it from the hair dryer.
If my pilots name was Max Power we could be flying upside down and I’d still trust him.
Did you arrive in record time?
My japanese pilot was named Toga.
You can emberd images by using
You shared a link to it, you didn’t embed it. Which meant I had to click the link to see the image, rather than it just being in the comment. Like this
Weird, when I view it the picture is already there, I don’t have to click anything. I’m guessing it’s a federation thing since we’re from different instances. Does the ! at the beginning embed it for all instances instead of just my home instance? Like, is this one embedded for you?
Yes, you need to include the ! at the beginning
I learned something today!
This is gonna sound fake, but I knew a butcher named Butch Pig. He was Butch before he was a butcher
And soon he will become butchest.
Kid at school named Miles Long.
I just saw him on pornhub.
Have you seen his…
You know…
?
There is a AFL player called Patrick Dangerfield. Great player too.
I used to work in a call center and had a notably irate customer named Mrs. Bitschy. I tried pronouncing it like “Beeshy”, and she immediately snapped “It’s Bitchy! Got a problem with that!?” Oof.
My husband’s vasectomy was performed by Dr. Wiener.
Up until a few years ago there was a local urologist named Richard Chop, and Dr. Peter Ruff is still seeing clients. Nominative determinism is a thing.
Was his first name Xavier? Dr. X Wiener?
It can’t be real.
There’s a name for that; nominative determinism
Like Yo-Yo Ma, who goes back and forth on strings.
I had to look up so.e examples using that, some of these are great!https://icon.ink/articles/nominative-determinism-examples-jobs/
I work in dairy company, once I was checking SAP for something and saw a name-surname “Olgun Erkek” (Mature Male in Turkish). We are receiving his raw milk, it is like porn name when you picture it like that.
I think he retired during Covid, but a nearby lasik clinic was run by Dr. Biglaiser. I don’t see how that could have been his real name.
I remember reading about a military guy, Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster. I have no idea what he actually does (or did; guy’s probably retired by now) but if he hasn’t at least spent some time teaching martial arts he’s doing it wrong.
Edit: apparently he’s a computer technician and that’s even better somehow.
Maybe he’s big in Mortal Combat?
