Its not nice to laugh..., (funny names) Options

[Pisces]

...but its so fun, I just got sent the lab streams out to me with everyone in my biology class's name. So many funny names, lots of Asian names which most of you would find funny if your not used to them, but I have plenty of Asian friends so Asian names are just normal to me now. BUT: Amadeus Rainbow, Ae (I want to call my kid that) Ryou, Izat Awg Kasum, Bazz Doak, Iwan Isherwood, Micheal Tubby (hope he's not fat); normally I wouldn't mention it, but the list keeps on going and going like that, 250 people and only about 30 of them have normal names.

My name has recieved a few laughs, my last name being Willyams, fairly normal name except it has a y instead of the normal Williams, now I won player of the year for Hockey once, I get a trophy ingraved to me, my last name spelt wrong, no big deal, I'm used to have it spelt wrong on all sorts of things, except they didn't spell it the usual Williams, they spelt it Wylliams, so somewhere along the line when they got my subs form where I wrote out my name and they messed it up when passing it along to another person.

Yes, this thread has no point, I just had to vent laughter, I think I will be more friendly with people in my biology class from now on and ask their names.

We also have alot of netherland surnames here, de Vries, de Beer ( the bear), de Kok ( the cook), de Bruin (the Brown)

Mine is van Rooyen, think it means from red, not sure tho.
A buddy of mine has a surname that sounds cool in english, van der Walt.

The native africans ( if I may put it that way and not call some one black and offend them) some times use english words as names for their children, so names like, Sunshine, Gift, Presstios (sp?) of course you will also get Suprise and Enough.

If thats so.. I'm gonna be offended if you call me white then

Anyways

I do find the names here in my quaint little town to be odd.. And it nominally comes from the black community.. Like an odd mix of islamic flavoured names with a hint of.. something..

I'm as basic as it comes, Nicholas Hattaway.. I guess Hattaway is english.. idjk
