Don’t worry, “Garden Trowel” sounds way more badass.

That was an amazing and underrated movie.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Can someone name the movie 😭

Mystery Men. Its only singular flaw is helping launch Dane Cook's career

I feel like it has more of "The Boys" vibe without the gratuitous violence.

Promised my wife I'd save that for our firstborn daughter

It is more of a girl's name, traditionally.

I used to make a joke with friends back in highschool that if I ever had a kid I'd name them something like Bu62bil8 and just say it's pronounced "David" to mess with teachers.

Elon Musk must have heard me and thought I was being serious...

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Don't lie, you were once at a maturity level that you would have done that. Although unlike you, Elon is still at that level of maturity.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Do you think Elon Musk ever refuses to put on his shoes, because he certainly gives that impression.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Musk named his a passcode.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Has anyone tried getting into his Wi-Fi with that?

The Shovel? That just sounds like bullying bait, but I have seen a kid named Megatron, and that is indeed a badass name.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

But Meg is relentlessly bullied by Peter. And he's the one who gave her the name!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Then you must spread rumors of The Shovel.

I heard the last kid who messed with him is now buried 6 feet under.

If I ever have son, I'm gonna name him... Bill or George, anything but Sue!

If I had a son, I'd name him Bort. There's a reason why I'm not allowed to have children...

Sounds like how Russians name their kids

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Your grandfather was conscripted into an unjust war against Ukraine, so he blew up the officers’ fancy doublewide port-a-potty in defiance.

And that my boy, is how you came to be known as “Gunpowder Commode”.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I'm all for names with some weight on them, but give the kid a normal name and just tell people, "We call him Kicker." Let the kid make up the story for why. Everywhere has a little line for 'prefers to go by' now, and you can avoid the problems (and don't try to say there aren't any) associated with names that don't fit the average idea of normal.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

We had a discussion of employee email address formatting and how to handle collisions in a workplace that hires many, many immigrants. One idea that came to my mind (but wasn't voiced for obvious scope/feasibility concerns) is to do firstname+nickname+lastname so [email protected] displayed as John "Brickman" Smith then during the onboarding process users can select from a list of approved and not-yet-assigned nicknames (I imagine a webpage with a search bar and a "regenerate" button then it shows a list of 10 or 20 nicknames they can select from) and pick something that they like and thinks fits them. It would add some whimsy and worker empowerment but also still prevents interesting situations like someone selecting an inappropriate nickname

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Pretty sure that kid is either going to grow up to be a serial killer or obese. Normative determinism is a thing.

I knew a kid Montana, who everyone used to call Montarrrrrrrrrrna because she was a big lass.

"Shit your trouser holes, Shovel is here!"

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

"little fatso yummy toes" more likely

In France during the Revolution we tried to have nice names not tied to saints. We then had a few names like Liberté (Freedom) or "Défenseur des droits" (Defender of the rights).

Also French speaking African people have some cool names like Bijou (Jewel).
