We're keeping it alive in the Dugnutt family. I'm actually Bobson Dugnutt IV.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dugnutt you say? Of the BingBong Dugnutts?

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

No, we don't talk to them anymore. It's a long story.

So many of these names, imagine looking down at your newborn infant, the warmth and preciousness of newly created life changing you forever and then you say 'Bertha'

no one's ever done that intentionally. the doctor asked the mother what they wanted to name the kid but she was so tired she thought the doctor asked what's she's been doing for the last 6 hours.

My work BFF has a geology degree and I legit call him that from time to time. I've got an ongoing bit where I am juggling several secret lives and have 2 families I'm trying to keep hidden from one another and part of it is calling people.the wrong name on purpose or pretending to forget their name. I've been there like 3 and a half years and the joke is that I'm basically a drifter stuck in a rut and in denial about it. It's a complex bit but 'errrrr....Mr. geodude there...' had been a line. We've got a server who's working in a teaching degree who spends months at a time off and the running gag for him is he gets fired and spends 2 months begging for his job back and gets rehired each time and I give him a new name and act like he's a new hire each time. He was Marcus last time, I'm thinking Siegfried for March. I have a skill for giving people totally normal names that are really funny cause they don't match the person. Nomenclative deteimism is sorts real. Like someone named Todd for sure owns a bucket hat.

I was just thinking "Simon" has aged out, or at least I haven't met a single Simon under 50 in my life

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

I'm a big castlevania guy and have liked that name for a bit

I know one or two gen Z Simons and a Simeon to boot! Maybe a less common name but not really archaic like Ethel or something.
