In the article I linked to, the first two names had me going "WTF?!", I confess that the 5th one made me chuckle and the 10th one made me facepalm.

Seriously. Selling your name to get paid to change your name to that of a website or business? That's just desperate, and kinda scary. It reminds me of "Idiocracy", in which everyone in the 26th century is named after a food brand name or such.

For the record, an acquaintance of my family got a daughter, upon being asked what he thought the baby should be named, their 5-year old son proposed "Windows 98 Joystick"...

In the end, she was named something normal and boring, but since WE got ear to it, the story's been going around ^^

Yeah! Don't let them live it down! Something like that is just too funny to forget! :D

Too bad about the normal name though.

It'd be terrible because actually being named 'Anonymous' defeats the purpose of being Anonymous!

NejinOniwa

Quote- State your name, please.
- I am Anonymous.
- BLATANT CENSORING please.
- No srsly, I am Anonymous! Anonymous James Johnson, it's my name!
- WTFLOL
Something like that, huh...

I had to edit your post, Nejin. You've been warned not to use THOSE kind of words.

Aside from that, your scenario accurately illustrates the danger of being named Anonymous!

NejinOniwa

While we're at it...

The Statistical Central Bureau of Sweden has this wonderful Name Search tool, with indexing on the entire populace. <3

Let's play with it a bit, and see what comes up.

No matches for Anonym or Anonymous, sadly, but well, that's to expect. HUNT ON ~

Although the meaning's different, there are 24 people with the surname Fag.

No comments needed.

And in addition to that, 1 poor guy who has Bög (slang for homo) as his first name. That's just scary.
