I found this comic today and it became instantly one of my favourite non-story webcomics, at least as good as channelate or amazingsuperpowers.
If there will be any T-shirts in the future, sign me up. And I’ll try to advertise this comic, though I annoyed some of my friends(one) to the point where they just give me that “Go die in a fire, seriously”-look. But I wont stop, not until I end up as bloody pulp dripping from the fists of Skinheads who I tried to convince to “just take a look” at this geniously piece of art.
Naming your kid, Dumbass is funny. Of course, when he gets in trouble, you can say, “If you weren’t such a dumbass, we wouldn’t have named you Dumbass.”
Kitty is a real girl’s name and I’ve seen a lot of Hello Kitty Online players use that in their user ids. Hell, I’m a guy and I use Kittynator in HKO.
Bill Cosby: My brother thought his name was Goddamnit and I was Jesus Christ. So one day, I’m playing out in the rain and my father yells, “Godamnit, get in here.” I said to him, “But dad, I’m Jesus Christ.”
A lot of the odd names I heard were from tv & movies over the years.
I’ve heard of some dumb names, female and male (pronounced fe-mal-eh and mal-eh), also heard of a girl named n-a (n-dash-eh) some really foolish people on this planet in my opinion.
As for your comic, I found it some time ago and have been reading it every day and I’d definitely have to say that this is one of my favorites and even to go as far to say that I’d rank it up there with Calvin and Hobbes for pure creativity and entertainment!
I’m honestly getting sick of those names that display a good virtuous meaning, like Hope or Faith or Grace.
If your name actually is one of those no offense.
How about the student named Shithead (shi-theed)? Liberty Bell? Crystal Ball?(All really names!)
One of my collegues had a “Lim-angelo’, but it was spelled Limejello.
Someone came in to get dogtags made. He wanted “I love…” and then the names of his kids. They were “Princess, Gungun, and Jelly”.
For one, Princess is a rich woman’s little dog’s name…
For two, Gungun is just wierd.
For three, I’m guessing their next kid will be named “Peanutbutter”…
guys, nobody is named male/female, n-a, shithead, lemonjello or what have you. i’ve heard them multiple places and it’s always “friend of a friend” or some such. nobody actually knows any kids with these names, so stop perpetuating racially charged urban legends already (because everyone knows that’s what they are); your comments make a funny comic strip very unfunny.
Actually, you’re wrong. I’ve heard WORSE, and the source is my mother in law, neo-natal intensive care nurse and the most honest woman I know. How about Twina and Twinba (Twin A, Twin B), Maparidine, Brook Trout, Breeze and similar awful contributions. Pull the stupid racial goggles off your eyes and appreciate the humor for what it is: folks laughing at the idiocy of the human condition. Seriously, lighten up and quit looking at everything as an excuse to be offended!
A fellow teacher had students named Abcd (pronounced abesity) and L-a (pronounced ladasha because the dash isn’t silent), I have taught Princess, King, Rhein (pronounced rain), Amazing, Virgin, Dre’Nautica, Shamir (but pronounced Shamar) and so many more I have forgotten for the moment. I honestly don’t care what you name your child but at least spell it in a way that people will know how to say it. If I were an engineer I would create a machine where you say the name you want and it gives you three or four reasonable spellings to pick from.
Wish there was one of those guys for WoW character names too..
couldn’t agree with you more. kinda hard to take a raid leader seriously when they have a name like Kittywhiskers.
I agree as well. There have been a number of times I’ve wanted to tell people to delete their character and give it a more creative, fantasy name.
LIttle Ferngully looks pretty handy with a gun. I guess he’d have to be, with a name like Ferngully.

Are these names you’ve actually heard?
No, but I’m willing to bet there are people out there with those names – though “Vacuum Cleaner” is probably a stretch.

Wow! Thanks!
agreed. i love it.
Zagnut! Bwa-Hahahahahaha!!!

STUPID BABY NAME POLICE…fantastic idea! haha
Imagine having Dick for a first and last name.
You’ll have fun telling people that you’re a Dick, even when you’re married.
Timothy Allen Dick – later changed to Tim Allen.
He talks about the issues with his name in his book: Don’t Stand Too Close To A Naked Man
Some names are not stupid, but confusing when used by both sexes. These names are known as unisex names. Examples: Chris, Shaun, Stacy and others.
I’m honestly getting sick of those names that display a good virtuous meaning, like Hope or Faith or Grace.
If your name actually is one of those no offense.
“The topic is…names that will get your kids ass kicked”
“Ohh, is Kick-my-ass hungry?”
yay, Whose Line? references. ;0)
Nice! I actually recently met a boy named Ultraviolet, no joke!
I found this comic recently via stumbleupon. I plan on keeping up with it. Awesome strip. :]
I once knew a girl named Vrolet, named after where she was conceived.
…in the back end of her parents’ Chevrolet.
100% true story.
How about the student named Shithead (shi-theed)? Liberty Bell? Crystal Ball?(All really names!)
One of my collegues had a “Lim-angelo’, but it was spelled Limejello.
That’s what made this strip hard to do. I knew no matter what names I came up with, real life names would be much more bizarre.

I work in Military Surplus, you can put whatever you want on a tag!
How are Ms. Chastity, Ms. Immaculate, and Mr. Panty Patel. Seriously.

I know parents who let their daughter name her newborn sister. She came up with Zelda Rainbowstar and they went with it.

There was somebody in my home town that named their kid Sativa (think Cannabis sativa) and another who named their kid Areya Sunshine Anna Rose Hill.
Someone at my high school was named “Seukkyu” which is pronounced “Suck you.”
We called him Sam.
I went to school with a kid called “Jedi”.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, his surname was Starbuck. Poor sod.
