- Homerr, on 12/01/2008, -1/+33I can't wait for all the kids named Barack in about 8 months.
- nickceleb, on 12/01/2008, -1/+33Thanks, all those names were all my list. You really saved my kid!!!!
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -1/+30A few names you should give your child:
1. Max Fightmaster (given)
2. Bruce Dangeraid
3. Damien Skullkrack
4. Stirling Scythewielder
5. Magnus Powerkraut - mikbunn, on 12/01/2008, -0/+23I think Annular Zhou and Totality Mchombo are pretty damn badass names.
- DforSpiD, on 12/02/2008, -1/+24It boggles the mind why a mother wouldn't name her child Batman.
I'd call my kid Batman McAwesome. - jboitnott, on 12/01/2008, -1/+23It just boggles the mind why a mother would name her child Batman.
- whoreable, on 12/01/2008, -0/+19Plaxico should have been on there. What a moron he turned out to be.
- vertigo32, on 12/02/2008, -0/+18My last name is Prime and my wife won't let me name our son Optimus - not even his middle name.
She's crushed my life-long dream. - ChromaVita, on 12/02/2008, -0/+17I'll give you a hint... It probably wasn't the mother's idea.
- sfhock, on 12/01/2008, -1/+16my son, *****, loves his name!!
- Aros, on 12/01/2008, -0/+147. Sephiroth
- EMFK, on 12/01/2008, -0/+12The names on the list aren't nearly as bad as some names people have just 'created' to ensure uniqueness for their children.
- Surferess, on 12/01/2008, -0/+12I love Totality Zhou. How could you not be successful w/ a name like that?
- altyfc, on 12/02/2008, -1/+13So Randy and Fanny are OK...!?
- adolfojp, on 12/02/2008, -0/+12My name is Adolfo and I am getting a kick out of these replies.
- saltypotatoes, on 12/01/2008, -4/+15probably foreigners... who name their children batman. hes looked upon here in America as such a great being, and most people from outside the U.S. have real interest in it and think it is amazing. so by giving there child a name of one of the great heroes, even though he is fictional, they believe they are making their child more appealing to Americans and thus granting them a better life then they have.
- saltypotatoes, on 12/01/2008, -4/+15actually i disagree, not every single person is aware that "Hitler's" name was adolf when you learn about it in school you are told hitler this hitler that and maybe one teacher will mention his full name being adolf hitler. I asume after a few more years and a couple more major wars the idea of Adolf being even remotely not a good name will have faded
- DeadSkinMask, on 12/02/2008, -0/+11This is probably the first "Bizarre Baby Names" list I've seen that doesn't include a Frank Zappa reference.
For those of you who have never heard, Frank had 4 kids. Their names?
- Moon Unit Zappa
- Dweezil Zappa
- Ahmet Emuukha Rodan Zappa
- Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa
Many people would say that naming your kid any of those would be "mean". However, now that his kids are all grown up, they all love the names their father gave them.
Boy do I ever miss Frank & his one of a kind sense of humor. - Seidoger, on 12/02/2008, -0/+11I think "Eclipse Glasses" is actually much worse..
- turtlegroove, on 12/01/2008, -1/+12Theres a politician in New Hampshire with the name Dick Swett...This is bad on 2 fronts. Why did his parents name him Richard? and why does he pick Dick as his nickname?? You can be sure that I would go by Rich or Rick.
- AmyVernon, on 12/01/2008, -1/+11Really? Eclipse Glasses isn't worse?
- passedoutghost, on 12/02/2008, -2/+1210. bigbustyasians
.......oh wait I thought we were listing porn sites. My bad. - YourMemeSucks, on 12/02/2008, -1/+11In 2nd grade I had a substitute teacher named Richard Head. I felt bad when I was the only one who laughed.
- asgardshill, on 12/02/2008, -3/+12Dear Digg,
We are quite proud of the names that we have given to our children. They come from a long uninterrupted line, and have historical and cultural roots that predate the founding of this country. So kindly mind your own beeswax.
Sincerely,
Cockbite and ***** Dickbreath
(proud parents of Eatoutmyasshole and Blowitoutyourass) - srett1, on 12/02/2008, -3/+12I'd rather be called Adolph than Jesus.
- AmyVernon, on 12/01/2008, -1/+9Et tu?
- aceakm, on 12/02/2008, -0/+8My nephew's name is Bruce Wayne Osborne.
- Dundasbro, on 12/02/2008, -1/+9Ease up Magnes, I think he is just saying that colloquially, Hitler is referred to by his last name primarily (just like in this sentence) and nobody really uses his whole name anymore because its redundant, everyone knows who you mean. But for one who didn't have the background, to grow up in an environment where everyone just talks about Hitler, not necessarily referred to as Adolf Hitler, it is possible for kids to not associate Adolf primarily with the last name Hitler. He didn't say he wasn't taught that Hitler's name was Adolf either, that's a little presumptive.
- Magnes, on 12/02/2008, -4/+12They really don't teach you that Hitler was called Adolf? Don't you read any history books at school? You must live in strange place. USA I suppose?
- SwampyUK, on 12/02/2008, -0/+7Classic quote from Frank when quizzed on his choice of baby names:
"Consider for a moment any beauty in the name Ralph." - GavinZac, on 12/02/2008, -0/+7Uh, leave the bitch?
You could try translating it. Then when the kid looks it up he'll see Optimus and cry tears of joy. - BeShirtHappy, on 12/01/2008, -3/+10I agree 100%... as bad as the other 5 are, no name could be worse or carry the same connotation as Adolph.
- Dundasbro, on 12/02/2008, -0/+7I wish he had named one of his kids Bug...
- MacBookForMe, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7...and Brutus, as well
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -1/+8In spanish many people is named Adolf (Adolfo) and you know why? Because our system didn't build up that kind of resentment towards one person. At least not to the point that even his first name brings back those memories. Maybe because our government didn't need that. We know about Hitler, we know that he was a really bad person but the relationship between him and devil on Earth isn't that close, that's not healthy and it stops you from studying the man from a historic stand point.
- danthemanhan, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6My last name is Cummings... can I put that on the list?
- BadAshe86, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6I'm waiting for Michael Hunt to post a comment on this board.
- matude, on 12/02/2008, -1/+7Whoa that is so stupid. Adolph is a quite common name in Europe.
And what is this pointless list anyway? Just some random six names out of millions of names in the world? Buried. - inactive, on 12/01/2008, -0/+68. Kefka
- ChromaVita, on 12/02/2008, -2/+79.Smallpenislittletesticles
- polyp2000, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5My father once knew a guy called "Zinc Alloy"
N. - davidjunit, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5Sounds like his parents were involved in one of those advertising schemes, you name your kid after our product (a drug?) and we pay you.
- Codik, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5The head of marketing at a famous clothe's company I dealt with was called Max Powers. He liked his name.
- priegog, on 12/02/2008, -1/+5Ugh, that's just stupid.
Would you say the same about calling your son George (for W.B.)?
Yeah he's not nearly as bad but if we were to never use unpopular people's names, where would we be heading? It's almost as dumb as believing you can know a person's personality by knowing under which sign he was born.
Or what country he's from. Or what religion he practices.
I have a friend named Adolph (in my country's translation of it), and on the VERY rare occasions that someone (so stupid and small-minded to do so) who's met him mentions something to that effect, you can your hear the facepalms all-around the room.
I actually think it's a very nice name, strong-sounding and masculine. - AndrewDB, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4I seriously can't be the only one other than Jason Lee who actually thinks that Pilot Inspektor sounds cool.
- Seidoger, on 12/02/2008, -3/+7Let's not forget the names Sarah Palin gave to her kids.
Although Track sounds kinda fast and cool, like Speed in Speed Racer. - Seidoger, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4Haha i remember that story, poor girl indeed.
Hilarious though, it is sad to admit. - mrdoubles, on 12/02/2008, -2/+6"Knock Knock! Who's there ! Adolf ! Adolf who ? Adolf ball hit me in the mouth !"
- kenyadoit, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4Or the Americans who want their kids to have more exotic sounding names, or 'non-standard' names (think 'average stripper name'). Not picking on one particular race, but definitely talking to primarily black and white Americans (ok, so I picked on two).
If I ever have a son I'll name him Alexander Luther (Luther is my dad's middle name, and Alexander was a great leader). -
