What are the worst names you could give a baby boy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello you awesome people,

Friends are having a boy and everyone they know wants to push a name on the child. So I decided to be the best friend they could have and to offer only bad, ugly or horrendous names to the lucky parents so they could have a laugh. I already send them some names and dictators, Smeagol, Steve and Juan-Esteban.

So please, people or Lemmy, give me the worst names you could give a child, so that I can help them as a good friend!

Ps: don't worry, I've already planned some meals to drop off when the gremlin will be there to feed the parents. And some take-out vouchers so they won't get food poisoning

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz

Grzegorz is a perfectly normal name, and it's not their fault if they have a difficult surname 😔

It’s probably not even difficult in Poland either

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, there's a bit of context behind it:

The name is a meme in Poland and comes from the 1969 adventure-comedy mini-series Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową (How I unleashed World War 2).

In the second episode, the main character is in hiding insideof Nazi Germany after escaping from a Prisoner of War camp. He is eventually arrested for an unrelated reason and this is the fake name he gives to the German bureaucrat using the typewriter. Unsurprisingly, he is baffled by the spelling, especially once he gets it right... since he gets an even more difficult fake birthplace to spell by the MC.

Edit: If you mean Grzegorz, it means George and isn't too difficult, I suppose.
