Taylor (given name) Puns

"But what do you think we should call the baby?"

>Those close to him note he is politically very left leaning and comes from a working class family in Austria and they don’t believe had he personally known he’d have been okay with being named after a Nazi. In the past he never wanted to bring negative publicity to pro wrestling in Germany and this would have done so. Stark means “strong” in German. Gunther Stark, the Nazi U-boat commander is not that well known of a name in Germany or Austria. The belief is more that WWE came up with the name and failed to research it before trying to trademark it, or if they did find out, thinking the name was so little known that nobody would care.

It’s called the Moo-trix.

My go-to is Lothryn Moonshire - usually for either a Wood Elf or Nord. I think it sounds nice and lore-friendly!

I believe I've read that the surname-as-given-name trend began in the 17th century in Scotland. But it seems it has been much more common here in the US than in the UK in over the last century. In some cases such as "Taylor" people seem to forget that it's primarily a surname.

Stereotypically here it's most common among upper-class Southerners and others with upper-class pretensions.

Please don’t shoot this down as ‘anti-eth’ or ‘complaining about gas fees’. I’m just curious what keeps other people here holding Eth? I am basically holding mine until fees drop and I can exit or the roll ups save me.

The other chains are more readily scalable, generally quicker and cheaper. Yes they aren’t as ‘big’ but, let’s be honest, for most of our purposes that is pretty irrelevant.

What names could a Fem Harry be given by his parents?Or what do you think would be a good option?

I’m having a baby girl in April and I like this nickname for her, but I’m wondering if anyone will be able to tie it back to her given name in the same way you might be able to tell that Sam is short for Samantha or Samuel.

Edit: Everyone who guessed Olivia is correct! I loved all of the other names, and the train of thought that maybe it’s not related to the name but is just a term of endearment is pretty spot on too.

Just put as possible trigger because I know this can be a sensitive topic for some. Stay safe, my brothers, sisters, and siblings!

So I found a post on r/MadeMeSmile about an older landlord seeing a trans girl's deadname on an application and being like "why the hell would your parents give such a pretty young lady a boys name?" Wholesome, cute, I loved it.

In the comments, someone asked what a deadname was. Plenty of helpful people replied.. but then people started drawing lines like "it's only their deadname until they get it changed, then it's their former name". I contributed a bit as a trans guy who uses birth name instead of dead name for personal reasons. But just seeing that thread..

People got downvoted for saying "it can also be called a given name". The invisible lines people drew were so dumb. And the annoying thing is, a lot of them were cis! I guess the even worse part is that there were other trans folks drawing lines and arguing that birth name or given name is transphobic.

It just makes me feel incredibly invalidated. What I call the name I was born with is my choice. It's not transphobic to prefer birth name over dead name. And it's not silly to not change what you call it after a legal change. Someone literally said it was "silly for them [trans people] to still use deadname after it's changed" (not a direct quote btw). This was stated by a cis person.

That's just so frustrating to me. As a trans guy, I'm used to the "ew phallo* is so disgusting, it's not a real d***, why would you ever want that". But having people police what I call my given, and currently legal, name is so dumb.

*for those who don't know, phalloplasty (phallo) is a type of bottom surgery for transmascs, and currently there's a lot of people who will say things like "I'm not hating on phallo, but it's just so ugly and I could never live with having that between my legs".

It’s usually something cringe like “Chesterwood Estates” or “Green Acres” and complete with brick signage at all the roads going into the development.

Calling her “Hilary” is giving her actual non exotic non unique birth name an exotic spin that muddies the waters and could lead someone to think that her birth given name did have a Spanish influence from the start, which it did not. It’s just Hillary.

Please and thank you.

Edit: I’m all for the nickname variations, btw. I’m not in anyway against those, I use them too. The need for proper spelling of her name only applies to when we are referring to her by her birth given name, so that it is clear that she was not given an exotic variation of the American name Hillary at birth.

"1M people watched black parade 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣"

"1M watched nick jackson go caw caw🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂"

"M'ox saying fuck is a draw🤣😂😂😂"

"Kiera Hogan is a draw😂😂🤣🤣"

Why are the threads so cringy everytime Diamante hits 1M? These jokes are painfully unfunny.

I'm not referring to things like Bloody Mary but more like Charles the Mad

Like for me back in 98 when I first played I used some friends’ names and one celebrity (don’t ask me why haha) with the exception of Glenn and Janus. Once I had the latter in my party, I changed it to reflect his true name since he was on our side. Just curious to hear everyone’s names.

Currently I'm in the design phase for my OC—who will be the Main Character of a Fanfiction that will be hundreds of chapters long, if not well into one thousand. The MC's current name is "Sol(e)". Originally I was debating between Sol or Sole, so I described it to some Discord buddies as Sol(e). However, I now unironically adore the name even though it was special characters in it. I wouldn't be surprised if an eccentric name like this turns off potential readers and Grammar enthusiasts. But I really like the way it looks.

What is the wackiest name you've given a character?

A name is something people use to refer to someone. No one uses the new name to refer to people. The only time they are used is to get through the vail. That's not a name. That's a password.

yuh

I personally would have probably called it something dumb like the Marvel film verse or something.

How do you think this could change the world? Would you support this? So instead of a parent naming their baby James Smith for the billionth time in history the baby is named Silky Questionable Alligator. Wouldn't that be fun?

came across this and thought it’d be interesting to share lol

Muhammad for Muslims and Jesus for Latinos are super common names. Catholic Popes change their name when they take leadership.

Am I wrong thinking Durin IV wasn't the son (just a descendant) of Durin III and given the name because he was a great leader

I'm just wondering.

"We'll need those ugly people who have the paper and change the shapes on it."

Jack helpfully clarifies: "Writers."
