Fast forward 20ish years to a post in nominativedeterminism about someone named The Shovel being caught burying the bodies of his parents that he murdered
Hopefully he gets reduced time for the mitigating circumstances
I know someone who goes by Kil

Promised my wife I’d save that for our firstborn daughter
It is more of a girl’s name, traditionally.

“THE MACHINE”
He is the machine!
Some body once told me the world was gonna roll me
That was an amazing and underrated movie.
Can someone name the movie 😭
Mystery Men
The most famous part of the movie was its soundtrack.
Holy, you weren’t kidding.
All Star was written for this movie
Mystery Men. Its only singular flaw is helping launch Dane Cook’s career
Thank you!
What’s wrong with Dane cook
He’s got that same unidentifiable quality as Nickelback
I love me some Dane cook stand-up he has some good bits
Not bad but not good enough to be as popular as they are.
Avengers before Avengers!
I feel like it has more of “The Boys” vibe without the gratuitous violence.
I was thinking more of the bringing a team together that has conflicting personalities to fight a big bad while making snarky jokes along the way.
Me IRL
The Shovel? IDK about that, but I have seen a kid named Megatron, and that is indeed a badass name.
Cohen: I’m wondering what psychological effects a name can have.
Zappa: Well, first of all, I knew that they were going to be unique anyway because of certain other attributes, so why not have a name that goes with it. They all like their names and the kids at school do too. They don’t make fun of them; in fact, most of them are jealous of their names. You know, it always amazes me when someone who is in my age group, or even younger, asks me a question like why did you name your children that. It’s a reactionary kind of question. Why the f*ck not name your kids something like that? They’re having a good time. Besides that, if they ever wanted to change their names they can do it. It only costs about $15.
Cohen: You can’t tell from the name Moon Unit whether it’s a boy or a girl. Had Moon Unit been a boy, would you have named him the same thing?
Zappa: No, I would have named him Motor Head.
But Meg is relentlessly bullied by Peter. And he’s the one who gave her the name!
Then you must spread rumors of The Shovel.
I heard the last kid who messed with him is now buried 6 feet under.
Bruh, the timing
The algorithm
Nooo!
Don’t worry, “Garden Trowel” sounds way more badass.
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.
Yeah, we’re nicknaming that kid “The Hov”.
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).
If I had a son, I’d name him Bort. There’s a reason why I’m not allowed to have children…
Speaking of generic names…

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.
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" Smiththen 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
