Hello you awesome people,

Friends are having a boy and everyone they know wants to push a name on the child. So I decided to be the best friend they could have and to offer only bad, ugly or horrendous names to the lucky parents so they could have a laugh. I already send them some names and dictators, Smeagol, Steve and Juan-Esteban.

So please, people or Lemmy, give me the worst names you could give a child, so that I can help them as a good friend!

Ps: don't worry, I've already planned some meals to drop off when the gremlin will be there to feed the parents. And some take-out vouchers so they won't get food poisoning

How do you even pronunce that?

[–] Kevo@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No joke, it's pronounced Kyle. It's the Greek letter chi, the dipthong Γ¦ which is called an Γ¦sc (pronounced ash) that makes a sound similar to the "a" in "cat" but shorter, and A-12 stands for "alphabet 12" or the 12th letter of the alphabet which is L. So chi-Γ¦-l or kinda like a two syllable "Kyle"

It's only pronounced that way because he's a dick's son.

[–] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

That was the joke, but I trust it’s much improved by the explication.

[–] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

It's pronounced kyle

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I read they pronounce it Xavier

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

For real?

Edit: doesnt he have a Xavier already?

Edit: duplicative

[–] YexingTudou@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Does he care about any of his kids enough to know if there's already a Xavier?
