Funky Weird Names

Hi my name is: 'Kiffy turned left and left Kippi where as Kippy turned right right'

Ok I lied, that wasn't my real name. But this is a real name: 'Captain Fantastic Faster than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk and the Flash Combined' [link]
Formerly known as George Garratt, this 19 year old teen from England changed his name to C.F.F.T.S.S.B.W.H.A.T.F.C. just a month ago.

Surprised to say, I was inspired by this kid. Some say you have to be born different to cast your name in the book of record. But this guy is just a normal kid and he now holds the record for world’s longest name. It goes on to prove that any tom, dick and harry can have a world record achievement by being overly creative.

Then again, that inspiration crumbled the moment I imagine the awkward situation he could be in:
1) How is his girlfriend gonna introduce him into the family?
2) Imagine if he enlist into the army with the rank of a private: "Private Captain".
3) I wonder if any HR manager would hire this kid after reading his name.
4) And I bet 9 out of 10 times that he will be searched by customs officer in the airport.

I could understand that there is a definite trend towards people choosing an unusual or "weird" name. Reason being our surroundings are becoming too similar. No matter where a person lives there are the same chains of stores and fast food outlets - we want to set ourselves and our children apart. And this can be achieved by choosing out of the ordinary or weird baby names. [link]

But some names are just terrible and they should be avoided. These are some of the worst actual name anyone can have:
Al Kaholic
B. O'Problem
Curry Egg
Ching Chong
Dick Holder
Ima Cumming
Iva Biggun
Kippu
Sue Zuki
Sok Chun
Talula does the Hula
Terry Wrist
Such names could present a social hurdle especially during their youth. It makes a fool out of them and sets them up with a social disability and handicap. In short, consider the consequences before you decide a name for your kid.

On another note, I agree with anyone who says that 3POINT8 is a great name. However I strongly disagree with those who claims that 3POINT6 is a terrible name.

Question to you is: What is the worst actual name you have come across?

Fact:
1) The longest name to appear on a birth certificate is for Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams - 57 letters compared with Captain Fantastic's 81. [I'll treat you a cup of coffee if you can pronounce this name with your eyes closed]


By the way, Curry Egg is a good name. I just want to witness how does someone positive as Kelly Tan deals with the situation when someone criticize her alias 'Curryegg' as a terrible name. Apparently she is good at turning things around by insisting that both her and my alias 'curryegg' & '3point8' is a good name. Situation well handled!

Now I wonder how he's going to fit his name into forms when he wanted to register something like bank accounts,creditcards,member cards? I bet the registrars will go @.@ following with.............."wtf". There's another bad name called, Lai Ngip Kim. I saw that before and it's a bank's branch managers name. LoLz. Maybe ask him to change to 3->8 ;p

My grandfather has known someone or met someone during his years as a university professor by the full name of Julia The Dolphin Whore Of Oceanic Paradicia Andrews. No doubt birthed during the Hippie era. I myself have met some fun named ones in my career, though I can't recall any of the cooler ones sadly :(

Annoymous said...

I believe its not very polite to post somebody's IC.

Cometh said...

Oh yes, you are very very very impolite... =p

On the other hand, I once dream of the name BenardCometIsTheGreatestAndTheMagnificientAndAllRelatedWordsandOhSoCoolAndSoYengandWhateverYouSayDoesntMatter but then I dropped the idea.

Imagine the pain of going through application forms, exams and all those stuff needing my name.

Hence Benard is good enough.

Thank You...

=p

Hmmmm, I discovered a bug.. If I continue to type on and on without any break, Blogger would go horizontally and eat up my sentence/words.

Darn, and I wasted so long to type my long name. Grrr

It's a conspiracy I tell you...
