DAMMIT POS, I was gonna make the Space Mutiny reference!!

Along this same line of thought: Zap Rowsdower.

I have personally met a child named Noble Savage. I have also met a child named Stormy. Noble was...energetic. Stormy was calm and collected.

Also: "Lahmanjalo" and "Orangalo", spelt as Lemon Jello and Orange Jello. Hilarious? Yes.

But still better than "Shaiteed", spelt "Shithead".

Freakonomics ftw.

He'll go through school relatively unscathed, but goddamn when he's looking for a job.

Probably because Max Fightmaster, the best name ever, already exists.

That's STAFF SERGEANT Max Fightmaster to you, civilian! (You know they're begging him to let them promote him, but he stays staff sergeant just because it's the coolest sounding rank.) Yeah, it sounds cool and badass, and he's probably one drinking session from being the guy who doesn't have a name because he killed his name, but that alone doesn't make it good.

"Fightmaster" sounds blatantly made up, for one thing. And Max is such a common name for badasses that it's turning ironic. These days it'd be cooler to call yourself Maximilian and demand that no one calls you Max.

But most importantly, a badass name doesn't automatically make a good name. Consider pacifistic-sounding names like Faith and Hope. Ooh, I just got an idea for a TV show: Madonna Babalon, MD. There's a name that taps right into the madonna/whore complex for a different kind of greatness. Also doctors.

Now you're just being petty. You'll never find a good name with standards so high.

Also, some names do sound blatantly made up (that lawyer called "Sue Yoo" comes to mind, as well as "Mustafa Bumin", both actual names).

Amake · 03-04-2010, 11:11 AM

We're looking for the best of all possible names, of course we need high standards. :I

Ponderance edit: You know in Office Space, the fake crackhead who sells the main character 40 subscriptions to Vibe? The actor who plays him is called Orlando Jones. That's pretty sweet I think.
