I always reblog this post so fucking fast every time it comes on my dash my phone shuts down the tumblr app and reboots
McKarty 64 is my favorite Mario Kart game.
My favorite part is that the blog post the photo was taken from detailed this mother’s decision-making process and chose this name because her husband saw it on a road sign on the way home
She named her daughter after a road sign
a road sign
there was a girl at my school called “zona” cause he parents went on holiday to spain and saw it and thought it was a nice name. IT LITERALLY MEANS ZONE
“47 month old”

“Who’s doing your surgery?”
“Dr. Rayman Origins.”
THE APP REBOOTED FOR ME!!
i met a kid once whose name was “Ryce” and his mum said it was pronounced “Reese”
the best part is she was originally going to spell it “Rice”
My auntie knows a family who decided to name their daughter Owen, but they spelled it “Oin” and they made her middle name the first sound that her big sister made which happened to be “Oogok”. her name is literally “Oin Oogok Puscus”
Oin Oogok Puscus is my favorite dwarf from the Hobbit
Yo I work at a rec center in a rich neighborhood and these are some real names of white children:

Treyton lls, I’m dying…
I know a person from college who’s name is literally “Smile”, l can’t even explain how ridiculous that is…

Damn suburban moms love to put unnecessary “Y’s” in names.
<b>47 month old<b/>

Somebody named their kid Pocket?!?!???
I am cry wheeze laughing at this post, and then when I got to the bottom I had apparently already hearted it at some point in its life?
Anyway, bless little Christopher’s parents. My god.
47 month old tho
One of the classes I subbed in had a kid named Glarison. I’m sorry, did you misspell Garrison?????
OMG IT IS BACK! I CAN FINALLY POST THE ASK I GOT ABPUT THIS!
I went to college and took religious studies courses with a girl named Storm Pagan. She never understood why I found that both funny and oddly appropriate, and I never felt like taking the time to explain.
for the love of your future children, look up what a name means in all languages before you saddle you kid with it until they’re old enough to legally change it.
I took latin in middle school. I don’t actually remember much now, but i’m telling you, it was IMPOSSIBLE to look this girl I knew in passing in the eye because her name was Latrina.
Latrina.
(For those of you who have no idea why this is unfortunate and hilarious, ‘latrina’ is one of the latin words for toilet)
What the fuck that even sounds like ‘Latrine’ like who looked at that name and went ‘what could possibly go wrong’
Kids I actually went to school with:
Nipponia (Her parents were really enthusiastic about Japan and thought no one would know.) Foreverina Twins – Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh Khayrliy (Carly) MyckEnziey (yes, spelled like that.)
Every last one of them was white n blonde.
Naming your kids after gods seems like s BAD PLAN whether you believe in them or not. Especially Odin and Bacchus.
4 7 M O N T H O L D
I knew I pair of sisters named Chardonnae and Breane (nicknamed Brie). Fucking wine and cheese
Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh ……. I???……what the fuck 😂😂😂
47 month old
Congrats to you for getting throught this post
Now I’m so fucking glad I’m named megan
47 month old
I’m sorry but I’m dying at “Loots”
I actually no joke, knew someone who’s Granddaughter was called “Pagan Storm” too. This was before I knew about the white people naming thing, so I honestly didn’t know how to react to it.
There is a current news article I’m sure many have seen/heard by now if you are in the US. A mom is upset some people with an airline were laughing at her daughters name. It is Abcde. Yeah, really.
How would you even pronounce “Abcde”?
For one, no shit they fucked up her name and two, why the fuck would you want to call your kid ab city anyway. It sounds like the name of a shitty gym.
The other day a white customer was mimicking the way a black co-worker talked over the phone to another co-worker, and when he asked her to stop she said “oh I bet your black too” and he’s like nah I’m white, you’re just being awful and I’m hanging up
It’s that easy
When people think empathy w/o personal association or investment is strange, it’s because they have none.
Seriously how has it become such a foreign concept nowadays to empathize with others even if you aren’t the one being affected by it?
Human: “It must be a dreary existence, unable to love, to eat, to sleep, to laugh… I feel sorry for you.” Robot: “I can laugh. I have a sense of humor, you know.” Human: “Really? I’ve never heard you laugh before.” Robot: “I’ve never heard you say anything funny.”
Hello 911 I’d like to report a violation of the First Law of Robotics, this robot just straight up murdered a human
“This week’s raids included some with drug convictions or pending drug cases, the official said, with many eligible for deportation. The official said that in many of the cases, the illegal immigrant drug suspects had been allowed to go free by local judges and jails despite active ICE detainers.”
only some of the people arrested have pending cases or convictions – and how there are other people who were convicted but judged to be innocent – and none of that makes a difference to ICE, whose Boston area director only calls them “criminal aliens” in the same sentence that he refers to “the men and women of ICE”, humanizing his coworkers while dehumanizing the people they hunt.
