LMNO

I believe in the US, "Willy" takes that role.




Which is still a used nickname for William. Just like Dick.

Not really. A Wally is a doofus.

Well, in that case, I was totally whacking the doofus last night.

Those unfamiliar with David Jason should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't give a fuck about teevee or teevee entertainment people, therefore I decline to be ashamed of myself.


Didn't click link, don't care about videos or performing monkeys, etc.

Damn, it's been a while.

I stuck it up as he's one of the few actors I can actually tolerate playing practically anything.

Jazeera I would avoid because of the news network, Tasi because it's unusual enough to get the "icky I don't know this" reaction when people are looking at resumes, Isabelle normally would be a solid choice but you're still living in the backwash of people naming their kids after Twilight characters, Juno and Nikita likewise have undesirable media associations, leaving Charlotte, Adelaide and Calypso as your safest bets.

I went for boring as fuck names for my kids so they can be as weird as they want but still look "normal" on paper. Your priorities may vary.

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

I haven't really had any issues with having an unusual name, FWIW.

I just realized I mistyped one of the potential choices.

"Isabelle" should be "Isabella". Like the queen. Or that one Clutch song.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Isabella Swan is the Twilight character.

Such a hilariously cliche name, too.  "Bella Swan".  I mean, really.  At least Hiro Protagonist was funny.

Q. G. Pennyworth

That "Baby Doe" they were trying to ID in Boston turned out to be a "Bella."
