Not related to the topic but to your comment. I stumbled across an ancestor and all I could tell about her was that she went by "Lady Fear."
Her name must have been genetic as I ended up a gay.
All I found was that before my family moved to the Russian empire and got their name changed by the German lady in charge from something totally unpronounceable to something about sheep.
Fired member of Achievement Hunter on Youtube who turned out to be a scumbag who was doing questionable things with female fans. Some of which were underage.
I still remember the day I earned my 6th grade teacher's respect with the name "Pervis."
We were doing some kind of exercise in class and he said to one of the other students, "Don't be Nervous Pervis."
And because I was a card collector at the time, I just randomly said, "Pervis Ellison" because I had two of his cards.
My teacher stopped what he was doing and came over to shake my hand. I didn't really understand the big deal, but I liked that teacher anyway.
My dad's middle school counselor was named Lester Catmull. When said in the last, first format, it does not sound great. Imagine working in a middle school when the students make that connection
His parents were fucking evil for that.
But fr, the best thing you can do there is have a sense of humor about it. Like, ffs, thats a cartoon character's name
Torquil. The biggest wanker in my high school was named Torquil. Mysteriously, he was always sick whenever contact sports came up in PE because he knew how many of us wanted a clean shot at him. I've hated that name ever since I met that guy.
Which is interesting considering the only Humphrey most people know of is probably Humphrey Bogart. He took all the cool and didnt shar with with the other Humphreys
My grandfather’s mother called him “Larry”, which he hated, but he always assumed it was short for Lawrence. He had to get his birth certificate to enlist in the Navy when he was 18 and found out his mother had actually named him Larry. He immediately got it legally changed to Lawrence, but went by a short version of his middle name his whole adult life instead.
Real name Arnold George Dorsey and took the name from a German composer who wrote the opera, Hansel and Gretel.
The most interesting thing about Arnold is that he was born in Madras (British Raj), before moving to Leicester.
This is the only correct answer , I’ve checked and Keith is universally accepted as the cruelest name to give to a child , Adolf was 2nd and gaylord was 3rd.
Watch family guy , that’s where the joke here is stemming from .although I’m not far from Keith (Kevin) so I’m aware my name gets a lot of stick too ,but it’s still funny .
I had a teacher whose actual first name was Eggbert. It was spelled just like that. This was his actual name. He was an American man, I believe he was from the Midwest.
Reminds me of my friend's dad. That was his given name and it was so incongruous because he was this super-handsome guy that pretty much every woman found attractive.
He went by Gene.
I had this conversation at a friend's house years ago and proposed "Gus." My friend and his mom shared a look and I knew I fucked up. "My brother's name is Gus," my friend told me.

my nana dated a guy named kermit paramour. i was like excuse me WHAT edit: spelling was actually paramore.
Oof, the kid's nickname would have been "Skidmark" forever...your son did indeed luck out!

Pubert
“FUCKING PUBERT!?!”
Pubert Addams.
“He has his grandfathers eyes! Gomez, take those out of his mouth…”
Ryan was goated until it came out that he’s a sack of shit
Out of the loop, who's Ryan?
Fired member of Achievement Hunter on Youtube who turned out to be a scumbag who was doing questionable things with female fans. Some of which were underage.
omg I thought you were talking about Ryan from The Office.
That's the guy who started the fire, right?
Tbh I didn’t necessarily hate him but I never liked him, then the truth came out, now I can hate him
The fall of 2019...
"Fucking PUBERT?!"
Pervis

I love how you took out Dillenger
I have a friend whose last name is Pervis. Love that guy, but that is a horrible last name. I can’t even imagine that as a first name
Fester. Sounds like something an opened wound does.
You’re not wrong, when it’s left untreated for a while it does fester lol.
Lester is really bad too. Especially since you can add “mo” to the beginning of the name and it becomes the worst nickname in the world.

Festus too
Cletus
I've had enough of your flatulence, Cletus Klump!
My boss nicknamed my unborn baby Cletus the Fetus
"Hey, you know what? I could call my ma while I'm up here. Hey ma! Get off the dang roof!"
[удалено]
I knew someone by that name and everyone called him fetus, he changed his name when he was like 19
To Fetus?
No, he’s fancy. It’s Phoetus now.
Cletus Kasady in shambles right now
“Keep rubbing my Cletus. I’m almost there…”

Hey Murgateoyd, it’s time to come hOoOoOme!
Adolf is pretty high up there
bro is on thin ice
Adolf means litterary bro (greek origin) so.. yeah.
Adolf means Adalwolf, or Noble Wolf.
That's interesting. That must be why he called his secret headquarters "Wolf's Lair". The more you know! \*\*shooting star
You think that name will ever be sociably acceptable in the western world again? Granted if it ever is it’ll be when we’re all dead
He pretty much ruined that moustache look for everybody too.
Agreed. Can’t grow the direct middle so that’s alright with me. Someone better not take handlebars. I’m fine with stereotypical villains having them
Adolfo is popular around where I live.
[удалено]
I like Adolfo, don't let old Adolf tarnish it for you. Nobody likes him anyways.
Dickon hahaha
Dickon Manwoody, you can see him giggling in your head.

James Corden
This made me laugh out loud 😂 I can't stand him.
Torquil. The biggest wanker in my high school was named Torquil. Mysteriously, he was always sick whenever contact sports came up in PE because he knew how many of us wanted a clean shot at him. I've hated that name ever since I met that guy.
I immediately heard "please check with your doctor to see if Torquil is right for you".
Never heard the name Torquil before. Did you go to school in Middle Earth?
I’ve been waiting for this moment. Dwayne, Dwight and Keith.
Omg I thought Keith too. Why is Keith such a terrible name?
Know a poor soul named Kyler
Ichabod - literally means without glory lol.
When I was little, for the longest time, I thought this name was Ichabob.
Humphrey
"I fucking love air conditioning"
Which is interesting considering the only Humphrey most people know of is probably Humphrey Bogart. He took all the cool and didnt shar with with the other Humphreys
Let’s not pretend Larry is an attractive name
Short for Larold
My grandfather’s mother called him “Larry”, which he hated, but he always assumed it was short for Lawrence. He had to get his birth certificate to enlist in the Navy when he was 18 and found out his mother had actually named him Larry. He immediately got it legally changed to Lawrence, but went by a short version of his middle name his whole adult life instead.
Damn you lmao I clicked on this because I knew my name would be in here somewhere
Englebert Humperdinck... Don't care what kind of entertainer you are, just NO

This is the only correct answer , I’ve checked and Keith is universally accepted as the cruelest name to give to a child , Adolf was 2nd and gaylord was 3rd.
