MODERATORS
I'm very partial to early bronze age names.
Epirmupi
Manishtushu
Tiglath
Inshushinak
Labarna
Naramsin
If you look at the Sumerian or Elamite king lists, you really can't go wrong.
Manishtushu is nearly the worst name i have ever seen. Kids would absolutely wreck that guy all the way to college.
People are going to make fun of the conqueror of Anshan, King of Kish, Ruler of Sumer and Akkad? That seems unlikely to me.
Man-ish tush-u. It aint hard to see why the kid would grow to hate his name.
He'll have to get tough or die
Bill or George or anything but Manishtushu, I still hate that name!
Y u no Ea-Nasir
As soon as I saw bronze age I thought of old Ea-Nasir, was very surprised he wasn't the point of this reply.
