Ridiculous Names

So, I work at a predominately african american high school in a very poor and rural area of SC.

Today I was covering a 9th grade English class because we can't afford to pay subs.

There was a student in there named Magazine. No lie.

Other fun names I've run into:

Ka'Quan

Abcd

Varsudula

Timez

reminds me of the story about the girl named Le-a (pronounced Ledasha)

My cousin just named his newborn daughter Harper Joseph, still not sure what to think of it

I guess its kinda goes with people changing the spelling of traditional names just to make them unique.

I can't tell you how many different ways I've seen "Ashley" spelled.

Nevaeh (Heaven backwards)

Precious (Especially considering she was the most evil, racist biznatch ever)

Question though, I thought I might vet the name I plan to give to my future daughter here: Marcyanna

It's the name of my Polish Great great grandmother. Ridiculous, or still normal enough that it won't be scrutinized?

Knew a girl named Storm Smith growing up....I think us white people have something about these really (to us) oddball kids names - they sound like something flippant that you would name a dog in a lot of cases. I feel bad for a kid that wants to go to Harvard but was named after something trivial or silly - "Hey Joe, I'm pleased to present to you the lawyer that will represent your Fortune 500 company in the upcoming trial, Shanayquaylaleela Roberts."

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
