The Shovel? That just sounds like bullying bait, but I have seen a kid named Megatron, and that is indeed a badass name.
But Meg is relentlessly bullied by Peter. And he's the one who gave her the name!
Then you must spread rumors of The Shovel.
I heard the last kid who messed with him is now buried 6 feet under.
Cohen: I’m wondering what psychological effects a name can have.
Zappa: Well, first of all, I knew that they were going to be unique anyway because of certain other attributes, so why not have a name that goes with it. They all like their names and the kids at school do too. They don’t make fun of them; in fact, most of them are jealous of their names. You know, it always amazes me when someone who is in my age group, or even younger, asks me a question like why did you name your children that. It’s a reactionary kind of question. Why the f*ck not name your kids something like that? They’re having a good time. Besides that, if they ever wanted to change their names they can do it. It only costs about $15.
Cohen: You can’t tell from the name Moon Unit whether it’s a boy or a girl. Had Moon Unit been a boy, would you have named him the same thing?
Zappa: No, I would have named him Motor Head.
I used to make a joke with friends back in highschool that if I ever had a kid I'd name them something like Bu62bil8 and just say it's pronounced "David" to mess with teachers.
Elon Musk must have heard me and thought I was being serious...
Don't lie, you were once at a maturity level that you would have done that. Although unlike you, Elon is still at that level of maturity.
Do you think Elon Musk ever refuses to put on his shoes, because he certainly gives that impression.
If I ever have son, I'm gonna name him... Bill or George, anything but Sue!
I still hate that awful name!
In France during the Revolution we tried to have nice names not tied to saints. We then had a few names like Liberté (Freedom) or "Défenseur des droits" (Defender of the rights).
Also French speaking African people have some cool names like Bijou (Jewel).
Assigned non-binary at birth
Musk named his a passcode.
Has anyone tried getting into his Wi-Fi with that?
"Shit your trouser holes, Shovel is here!"

I'm the shovel and I dig you
"little fatso yummy toes" more likely
Just like T.S. Eliot!
Where's track_shovel in this thread?
I almost @'d them in the post.
Hey @Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net, this post is dedicated to you

Sounds like how Russians name their kids
Your grandfather was conscripted into an unjust war against Ukraine, so he blew up the officers’ fancy doublewide port-a-potty in defiance.
And that my boy, is how you came to be known as “Gunpowder Commode”.
I know someone who goes by Kil
If I had a son, I'd name him Bort. There's a reason why I'm not allowed to have children...
Speaking of generic names...
I would like to present to you a summary of Freakonomics Chapter 6 - how much does your name matter?
Yeah, we're nicknaming that kid "The Hov".
Pretty sure that kid is either going to grow up to be a serial killer or obese. Normative determinism is a thing.
I knew a kid Montana, who everyone used to call Montarrrrrrrrrrna because she was a big lass.
I like generic names.

It’s Hammer time!

Fast forward 20ish years to a post in nominativedeterminism about someone named The Shovel being caught burying the bodies of his parents that he murdered
Hopefully he gets reduced time for the mitigating circumstances
Shovels are actually very handy. I can think of 2 book series where a shovel is a vital tool. The best example is a ww2 fiction with magic where a company of troops were strapped with the fasted flying jet engine a body could handle and dominated the battlefield, well they killed so many soldiers they ran out of bullets. So instead they started flying around in the air going 60-100 mph smacking people in the head with their shovels. They massacred people. Oh it was so terriblely good.
Name of that series?
I also am curious.
