For example, I was doing research for a blog article and found a paper by a guy named Christian Messenger. That man was definitely destined for missionary work, but the paper was about football.

There is a AFL player called Patrick Dangerfield. Great player too.

A dude named Sobriety Promise (both words were his first name). That guy's parents were assholes to name their kid that. Bro had to announce that his parents used to be drunk losers every time he said his name lmao. He went by his middle name and changed it as soon as he could. Poor guy. It's no wonder he became an alcoholic later 😐

A lot of fictional and probably actors/actress names are gonna hit this mark.

irl people are harder to find like: Usain Bolt, Lucifer of Cagliari and maybe~ Rick Santorum.

Or there's that guy... Charles Dickinson. Maybe his name is objective too~

Rick Santorum

Not sure if serious...

(Maybe thats the joke)

e: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign_for_the_neologism_%22santorum%22

And I just learned Dan Savage also coined the term "pegging". Maybe Dan Savage should change his name to "Damn! Savage."

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, you got it.

Santorum was the joke portion. I imagined like when teens yeet "Kobe!" but future people would then say "Oh, hey, there's an actual guy named like that... what a strangely objective name..."

Lol, if I were Dan, the best time for that would probably post mortem, so I won't have to deal with the potential confusion it brings.

My father went to high school with someone whose last name was Butts. His parents named him Harold and called him, and thus his friends called him, Harry. I always kind of thought it was a tall tale until my father showed me his high school yearbook one day And there was a picture of Harry Butts.

I always kind of wanted to meet this man and his wife and ask her if he lived up to his name.
