I will never understand obtuse alternate spellings that are just homophones. Like Trinity spelled Triniteigh accomplishes nothing.
I worked under someone at an old job who named his son Jaxon. And kept pictures Jaxon drew and signed on the wall of his office. So every time I needed something from him, I would have to see Jaxon’s name in his office. And I hated it.
Did Jaxon use Jaxon Crayons?
Some of these names sound like those brands you only ever find on Amazon
I give it about a 98,5% chance, that the ones wanting to name their kid “Mötley”, have no clue how “ö” is actually pronounced.
Depends on the language, though they’ll probably pronounce it in a way disregarding every language with ö’s rules.
I’m going to give you the only name you spelled right on this list! Max Power
Honestly I find most of them pretty cool.
You’re gonna look me in the eyes and tell me Raddix isn’t straight fire?
Raddix Zephyr is def the name of the protagonist in a JRPG.
Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides is for sure the Prince in an Isekai anime.
Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides
Such a weird mishmash of German, Latin and Greek, although Felix is extremely common in Germany too. Sigurd isn’t though, that’s some old germanic kinda name, like Æthelwulf in the anglosphere.
Whenever I read Mötley Crüe I have to think of this:
When we finally went to Germany, the crowds were chanting, “Mutley Cruh! Mutley Cruh! “ We couldn’t figure out why the fuck they were doing that.
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 have to think about Radix Sort when I read that name
i’m so fucking happy sweden has laws preventing this stuff, names here have to be approved as not causing undue harm to the child
I could see a system like that being used to racist ends in America. “Please select from the pre-approved list of biblical names”
perhaps we have a list of “accepted variations of names” where that is what is legally recognized. Though the body will have to regulate it properly of course.
