You're neutral on your name?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yeah, really yeah, like you wish you had another name,
not necessarily kind of like a dumb radio name, like
human Newman. No, but like you wish like in hindsight,
and I mean obviously you can't.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Go by it.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I mean, I guess I never thought about it.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Neutral. That's neutral.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, like it, love it, like it, neutral, dislike it,
hate it not sure.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I love my name, love it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Yeah. It became more popular as I grew up, so
I started seeing more Like when I went to Catholic
school in the eighties, no one was named Tyler, and
certainly no one was named Logan, right, but those names
grew in popularity, So for it becoming more frequently seen,
(00:55):
I don't love that, But that's the nature of naming,
all right.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
It's so you're gonna go love it, Kristen, love it,
like it, neutral, dislike it, hate it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Not sure? You love it? Love it?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Oh, you know what?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Good for you? I'm somewhere in the middle of like
it and love it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Used to hate it during the well et was a
huge problem, but just in general I hated it like
like when we lived in El Paso, or when we
lived in North Carolina, or when we lived in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Like, no, there were not a lot of.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Elliotts, but that made you unique.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, unique, but like unique would be like logan is
more of a can you like go sit against the.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Wall, but.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Away mic arm on this microphone for those complaining, we
have switched out mics again.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Uh, it has like a a fade to it as
you go along, right if it's the way to the setup,
but the arm the boom just starts bring all sil.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, no, you keep going all the way over there.
I have Tyler leaning up against the wall right now.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
No, but when like when I was younger, and yes,
I understand like, oh it's unique, but it was also
like it was it was just weird. I don't know why,
Like you didn't know anybody else who had that name. Yeah,
so yeah, no, it was bizarre. Now I fall between
like it and love it. I think I would fall
in there. You know what I thought was interesting. I
was reading this whole thing about names yesterday. Actually this
(02:32):
wasn't even part of it. The majority of people though,
forty two percent, that's the highest of all of them,
forty two percent of people love their names. That's great.
Thirty one percent like it. So if you add those
two together, you're at seventy three. That's awesome. Only two
percent of people hate their names.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
That's actually good here, I thought that would have been higher.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I thought it would have also and dislike it is
only four percent. I thought that both of those would
have been higher. Really nice of people who end up
hating their names. But can I tell you what I
learned yesterday that I had no idea and I don't
know what the I don't know what the state laws are,
but I know that there are national laws. Did you
know that that that there is a list of names
(03:18):
that it is against the law to name your kid
or I guess if you were going to change your name,
it's also against the law to use that as a name.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And this is in the US, in the United States,
other countries. I could see this.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The well they just in Japan, they just, I say just,
I don't know if it was in the last six
months or the last six years, you could no longer
name a kid Pikachu.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
No, No, they said, they they term it shiny names.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Oh, so, any Pokemon monster.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, so you can't do you can't do any shiny
names are those are out? Also in the Netherlands, you
can't name any kid that's based on a strain of marijuana.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Okay, I mean, like, what's an obvious strained name?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Indica? Okay, you can't go with now. I don't know
if you can go with that. In the US, I
only have the list of like names that across the
country have been ruled out. But they did say some
states have different rules. They said, some states have no rules.
You can name them whatever you want, except then the
federal rule kicks in.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
It looks like Indica is fine in the US because
there are people through Social Security who are named that.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
What about what about Sativa?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Talking about language? Here there is a ranking, which means
they're grabbing from it's it is not popular, right, But
in the US there are children named that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, you look up another one.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Sure, there's another country it's Mexico where this name is
against the law.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
RoboCop, it doesn't look like it's illegal, they point out
how it is illegal in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, I don't know why, And again I would I
know it's not on the federal list. I don't know
if RoboCop is on any of the state lists. Oh, okay, yeah,
that I don't know, So that one's out. There's a
good one in Sweden that you can't use. Which one Metallica?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know why. Why wouldn't you be able to
use Metallica?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
By the way, Mars have a problem with it. My
friend Joe, that's a good call. He went to the
show in Atlanta last night and he said, holy s
Master of Puppets alone worth the price of admission. He
also wrote, stadium shows are stupid and the sound is awful,
(05:52):
but creeping death as a live opener rules.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But you know what a buddy of mine, my buddy
Brian and his wife, they went to the show here.
They love the They love the stage setup. They love
the stage setup.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, I mean it's a cool thing in the round
and obviously they shift all over. And then he also
followed up with was not anticipating of this, but nothing
else matters. Eric nipples.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
In the UK, Oh well, check this in the US.
Check this in the US.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
In the UK, it is against the law to have
the name Cyanide.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Does that go back like years and years to the Wars.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The oh, I thought you were gonna say, like the
Thailand all murders. I was like, Dan, that's Chicago. The
Metallica is not Metallica. Excuse me. Cyanide is against the
law in the UK.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I don't see it on US lists.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I will say this, it would be very unusual to
name your kids Cyanide, but I do like it as
a name for like a band. Yeah, the no for
a first Yeah, I mean you would shorten it to sigh,
but that is a name.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
The yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Well, like like I know what I know a Cyrus
who's shortened to sigh and their cy Spurling short for Cyrus.
Sure for Cyrus. The I like that name though he
was actually Seymour.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah the more.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Oh, that's right because his middle name's Beaver. The h No.
I like that name Cyanide. I would never do it.
I would never do it, but that that's a strong
name in the US. In the US. Oh, wait, am
I going to my one? I can do that? Hi,
Elliot the morning.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Guy? His name? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Hi, who's this?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Hey? This is Andy? Yes, sir, I love my name.
I'm gonna give you two different meanings for my name.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay, are you an Andy or excuse me, are you
an Andy or an Andrew?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
First of all, my mother is the only one to
call me Andrew. But that's my name.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yes, Now, if you excuse me, if you love it
so much, why did you change it?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I didn't change it. My mother gave me Andrew, and
I go by Andy and she was okay with that.
So Andrew and English means king. Now let the last name,
the last name fox. Look that up in German. Fox,
look it up and see what you get in German.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
By the way, just the last name king, King, just
so you know, is on the forbidden list in the
United States, like federally.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Well then nobody.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So that's how, that's how your mom got around it
by naming you Andrew.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Tyler. Did we find fox?
Speaker 6 (08:45):
So?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Does hee? What the German translation of fox?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The dirty?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
That sounds dirty?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Of course, of course.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, I'm glad that you don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I'm glad that you love your name. No, good for you,
good for you, thank you, sir. King can't have now, queen,
you can't have?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Wasn't it? What did did Danny? What did Danny name
his kid?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Which Danny?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Bonna Ducci sorry, what other Danny would I Dante?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Isn't it Dante?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
See from genies the Oh that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Oh and Danny Krapnick, absolutely the What did Danny name
his kid?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yes, Diane looked that up. I thought he gave him
a ring. Okay, No, no, that's Danny's name.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I thought he named him.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, he gave his kid, not prince, but he gave
his kid like some weird is it Esquire?
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Uh, Countess Isabella Mikaela right, Bonnaducci and my son Dante.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh so you were right there. Okay, very good.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I told you. How do you know that?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
I remember the stupidest stuff. Nothing of any importance.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
You may not you may not name your kid Jesus Christ, okay,
but you could go with Haitians.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
See if you meet plenty of Hajesus's.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Right, But you cannot go with Jesus Christ. You can't.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
And I don't know why this is. They they they
have the it's the Roman numeral three. I don't know
how you would I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You would like the III.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, that's against the law federally, that's a that's a
weird one. But would that be like if you were
naming your kid like you can. It's legal to name
your kid Junior.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
But as the three things sort of like Y two K,
the bug for suffix fields would throw computer. That's a
good question into a complete tizzy.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's a good question. I don't know. It just says
III capitalized against the law, as is Santa Claus.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Okay, there's a law against that.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, majesty, majesty against the law.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Your majesty, And the whole time we thought that was
just vain. Yes, no, it was a legal loophole.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Messiah against the law. You can't name a kid Messiah.
You also can't name them the at sign.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Oh, okay, that I get.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay, do you get one sixty nine, ten sixty nine?
You can't name them?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I would think that for like any sequence of numbers.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I guess you could do twelve sixty nine, but ten
sixty nine, why can't.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You do ten?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You gotta stick with the eagle.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Now I did say it frequency wide. I bet it's
ten sixty nine. Is that is that code for something
like like an emergency code or like white supremacy? The
I was really going more emergency ten sixty nine. If
that's an emergency code from something medical, I bet it
has to do with eating.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I don't know, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
And the last one on the list is Adolf Hitler. Okay,
which makes sense. But who's name in their kid? Al that?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I want to say. You've seen news stories because.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Remember people wanted to get there. They're like birth kid
a birthday cake.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yes that was It was a couple and they fought
it like crazy because the front I think they just
named the kid Adolph but not Adolf Hitler. But yeah,
that you can't do.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
But I mean, you're a jackass if you're naming your
kid Adolf Hitl.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Shut up and make your own cake.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
But he wants tearing me soon. You know, it was
a huge, huge deal and right there, I know, I
just I have to know because it was like a
core workout having to stretch. Now it's just a little low.
Oh you know what, fix it? God damn easy?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Being a pde simple, No kidding. Look at the morons.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
We have Elliott and they're on national teams. Jesus Christ,
this company is in the toilet.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
No, what I was gonna say is, as I mentioned,
in the eighties, Tyler and Logan were not that popular.
But then as we got into the nineties and that
name started showing up on lists and ranks and things
like that. Then merchandise started being made, whether it was
a little license plate for your bike or a keychain.
(13:24):
And so it's funny, like my daughter, whose name is Frailey,
she'll never find anything for the history of time, like
she'll never be a popular name.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, my kids like that.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
But my son's name is Rhett, and I have kept
I've told him for years. I said, your name is
surging as this return to the classics, this happening as
a trend. I mean, Rhett is a more popular name
than Tyler right now when you look at the rankings.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I believe that.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
And I've told him. I said, you're gonna start finding
stuff on those spinny racks. And for the first time
ever in Rehoboth of our Memorial Day weekend, you've found
a wret. He found a surf ford that said Wrett.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Did you let him get it?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Well, when I bought it, he didn't buy it with
his own money.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But I said, look, I told you, and.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
You're gonna start seeing this A ton because this name
is almost in the top one hundred for most popular
boys' names.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Oh wow, we never find like license plates with Marley Autam.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
My older one can get his name, usually misspelled. The
younger one will never find a license plate, the little
stupid license plate with his name on it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But my sister and I were never able.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
To Kristen, did you struggle with that because of the
spelling of your name?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well I mean yours, that's just weird,
like that's woodsy the but like Elaine my sister, Yeah, yeah,
you'll never find that Elaine. Yes, but she's with an
I Elaine that you won't find. You've learned you got
a horrible middle name, Karen.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Learned to love the spelling of your name.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, yeah, of course, of course makes you who you are.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Rellio, it's skidding around to the he still thinks it's woodsy.
That's how you describe colooney. Yeah no, but but Kristen's woodsy.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
She's got seventeen nights in the office.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Where am I going? Line three O.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
The ihould have called you hi, Elliott the morning.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Hi, good morning, how are you?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Can somebody look up though, because they did say I'm good.
Bear with me one second. They did say some states
have their own. Will you look up and see if
Virginia bars any and will you will you check Maryland?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm sorry, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
First, I'm calling because I'm with you. When I was
growing up, my name is Nina. And when I was
growing up, I never liked it because no one else
is named Nina, and I just felt weird. But now
I love it because it's different and now not many
people are named Nina.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Right.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
But I'm also calling because I'm a teacher and we
have I have several kings in my school and a
queen and a messiah well them.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
How is that possible to my school?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I don't know. Maryland's different. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But is that what they go by? You know what
I mean? Like you could go buy anything their name.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
That's their name in the school system's computer. I have
a two kings, a queen, and a messiah, four of them.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I mean, I guess that's better than that. I'm a hitler,
but the but don't have that.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But this says that in the in the in the
United States, it's illegal to name your kid that.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
I know. When I heard you say that. I was like,
I have to call because I have all of them.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That would be odd. You know what of those two,
I don't want either one.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Could you imagine? Your name's Messiah? I mean I hope
they're all good kids.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
I mean, Messiah is on that list in Virginia of
being banded King Messiah?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Where do you, Lucifer?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
No, it's Jesus, Diane. Where do you where? What where
do you teach? Are you in? Are you in Virginia
or Maryland?
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Maryland?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Does Maryland say anything about king?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
A lot of teachers have checked in on the socials
and they all have kings and queens?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Do they really?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Could you imagine if I was named King Siegel? I, however,
have found one that you have not mentioned. Wait, that's
banned in Virginia. So this is a thank you, ma'am.
So this is on top of it?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Is this why you asked me to look up Virginia?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I swear to God, I just I didn't look up
the different states.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Honey? What time does anus do on the soccer field?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Oh there's no parking. Let's go around back.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Oh and wait, you can't name a kid anus.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
That's hysterical.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
They think it might lead to bullying.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
No kidding is anal on?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
There?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Can you name a kid anal?
Speaker 6 (17:47):
I just have anos like the spelling bee.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You're on the right track. By the way, there is
data from Social Security though, where there are names in
the US and you're saying it's just Virginia where people
are named a n us.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But would they be like, oh, we're from like we're
Nordic and it's really honest, honest, you know where it's
not manassas? Hey, what's up? As?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I would walk around with candy bars and just wipe
it on them and go, look, ain't a streak?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
It says it has its roots in my pants? No Hebrew?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Actually, oh really.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Amus butt cheeks seagull, that's cruel. The most literal translation
is mortal man.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh really? Line one, Hi Elliet the morning. Hello, Hello, yeah, Hi,
who's yes?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Hey this is Mallory.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yes, Mallory. You like your name, don't you?
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah? So I have a fun name story.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
So I actually like my name. But the meaning behind
my name is unlucky.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Wait so the meaning, like, the meaning behind Mallory is unlucky.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Yeah, yeah, so if you look it up, the meaning
behind my name.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Is unlucky or ill fortunate.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Wow, that was on our short list?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
What ill fortunate?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Now, Mallory?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Was it really?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:40):
And get this, my brother's name.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Means godli like, oh.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, well we see that family hierarchy.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Who the favorite is may as well call you Anus?
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Right, you might as well call me Anus.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Very good, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Can end with the most literal translation. Anus is something
only the brother could be named means man. Come on,
he didn't even have that.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Hi, Elliott the morning.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Good morning?
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Who's this.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Rob? Harry?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I'm doing well, Rob? What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
So didn't mind my name growing up, but as a
general contractor is an adult, I hate my name.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Wait, you hate the name Rob, which I'm assuming you're
sure for Robert.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
But as an adult doing general contracting, being called Bob
the builder isn't.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
And and number two, I think there's an obscure law
in Florida that if the parents are debating the kid's name,
that little hospital just intervened.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
There's no there's no way.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So if if Diane and I have a child and
we're debating the name, the delivery nurse.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Will go I got it.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You know what is it? A boy awesome anus?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
It is is that there's no way that she sometimes
leave the hospital without the name.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Sometimes you could, I thought you could sometimes, but you
have to I think.
Speaker 1 (21:20):

sister could do for everybody. All right, very good, very good,
Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 4 (21:27):

Okay, time for a break.
Diane, love it, like it, neutral, dislike it, hate it,
not sure?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Like neutral?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
You're neutral on your name?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yeah, really yeah, like you wish you had another name,
not necessarily kind of like a dumb radio name, like
human Newman. No, but like you wish like in hindsight,
and I mean obviously you can't.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Go by it.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I mean, I guess I never thought about it.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Neutral. That's neutral.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, like it, love it, like it, neutral, dislike it,
hate it not sure.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I love my name, love it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Yeah. It became more popular as I grew up, so
I started seeing more Like when I went to Catholic
school in the eighties, no one was named Tyler, and
certainly no one was named Logan, right, but those names
grew in popularity, So for it becoming more frequently seen,
(00:55):
I don't love that, But that's the nature of naming,
all right.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
It's so you're gonna go love it, Kristen, love it,
like it, neutral, dislike it, hate it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Not sure? You love it? Love it?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Oh, you know what?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Good for you? I'm somewhere in the middle of like
it and love it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Used to hate it during the well et was a
huge problem, but just in general I hated it like
like when we lived in El Paso, or when we
lived in North Carolina, or when we lived in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Like, no, there were not a lot of.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Elliotts, but that made you unique.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, unique, but like unique would be like logan is
more of a can you like go sit against the.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Wall, but.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Away mic arm on this microphone for those complaining, we
have switched out mics again.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Uh, it has like a a fade to it as
you go along, right if it's the way to the setup,
but the arm the boom just starts bring all sil.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, no, you keep going all the way over there.
I have Tyler leaning up against the wall right now.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
No, but when like when I was younger, and yes,
I understand like, oh it's unique, but it was also
like it was it was just weird. I don't know why,
Like you didn't know anybody else who had that name. Yeah,
so yeah, no, it was bizarre. Now I fall between
like it and love it. I think I would fall
in there. You know what I thought was interesting. I
was reading this whole thing about names yesterday. Actually this
(02:32):
wasn't even part of it. The majority of people though,
forty two percent, that's the highest of all of them,
forty two percent of people love their names. That's great.
Thirty one percent like it. So if you add those
two together, you're at seventy three. That's awesome. Only two
percent of people hate their names.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
That's actually good here, I thought that would have been higher.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I thought it would have also and dislike it is
only four percent. I thought that both of those would
have been higher. Really nice of people who end up
hating their names. But can I tell you what I
learned yesterday that I had no idea and I don't
know what the I don't know what the state laws are,
but I know that there are national laws. Did you
know that that that there is a list of names
(03:18):
that it is against the law to name your kid
or I guess if you were going to change your name,
it's also against the law to use that as a name.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And this is in the US, in the United States,
other countries. I could see this.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The well they just in Japan, they just, I say just,
I don't know if it was in the last six
months or the last six years, you could no longer
name a kid Pikachu.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
No, No, they said, they they term it shiny names.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Oh, so, any Pokemon monster.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, so you can't do you can't do any shiny
names are those are out? Also in the Netherlands, you
can't name any kid that's based on a strain of marijuana.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Okay, I mean, like, what's an obvious strained name?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Indica? Okay, you can't go with now. I don't know
if you can go with that. In the US, I
only have the list of like names that across the
country have been ruled out. But they did say some
states have different rules. They said, some states have no rules.
You can name them whatever you want, except then the
federal rule kicks in.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
It looks like Indica is fine in the US because
there are people through Social Security who are named that.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
What about what about Sativa?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Talking about language? Here there is a ranking, which means
they're grabbing from it's it is not popular, right, But
in the US there are children named that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, you look up another one.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Sure, there's another country it's Mexico where this name is
against the law.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
RoboCop, it doesn't look like it's illegal, they point out
how it is illegal in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, I don't know why, And again I would I
know it's not on the federal list. I don't know
if RoboCop is on any of the state lists. Oh, okay, yeah,
that I don't know, So that one's out. There's a
good one in Sweden that you can't use. Which one Metallica?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know why. Why wouldn't you be able to
use Metallica?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
By the way, Mars have a problem with it. My
friend Joe, that's a good call. He went to the
show in Atlanta last night and he said, holy s
Master of Puppets alone worth the price of admission. He
also wrote, stadium shows are stupid and the sound is awful,
(05:52):
but creeping death as a live opener rules.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But you know what a buddy of mine, my buddy
Brian and his wife, they went to the show here.
They love the They love the stage setup. They love
the stage setup.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, I mean it's a cool thing in the round
and obviously they shift all over. And then he also
followed up with was not anticipating of this, but nothing
else matters. Eric nipples.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
In the UK, Oh well, check this in the US.
Check this in the US.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
In the UK, it is against the law to have
the name Cyanide.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Does that go back like years and years to the Wars.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The oh, I thought you were gonna say, like the
Thailand all murders. I was like, Dan, that's Chicago. The
Metallica is not Metallica. Excuse me. Cyanide is against the
law in the UK.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I don't see it on US lists.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I will say this, it would be very unusual to
name your kids Cyanide, but I do like it as
a name for like a band. Yeah, the no for
a first Yeah, I mean you would shorten it to sigh,
but that is a name.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
The yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Well, like like I know what I know a Cyrus
who's shortened to sigh and their cy Spurling short for Cyrus.
Sure for Cyrus. The I like that name though he
was actually Seymour.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah the more.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Oh, that's right because his middle name's Beaver. The h No.
I like that name Cyanide. I would never do it.
I would never do it, but that that's a strong
name in the US. In the US. Oh, wait, am
I going to my one? I can do that? Hi,
Elliot the morning.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Guy? His name? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Hi, who's this?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Hey? This is Andy? Yes, sir, I love my name.
I'm gonna give you two different meanings for my name.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay, are you an Andy or excuse me, are you
an Andy or an Andrew?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
First of all, my mother is the only one to
call me Andrew. But that's my name.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yes, Now, if you excuse me, if you love it
so much, why did you change it?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I didn't change it. My mother gave me Andrew, and
I go by Andy and she was okay with that.
So Andrew and English means king. Now let the last name,
the last name fox. Look that up in German. Fox,
look it up and see what you get in German.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
By the way, just the last name king, King, just
so you know, is on the forbidden list in the
United States, like federally.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Well then nobody.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So that's how, that's how your mom got around it
by naming you Andrew.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Tyler. Did we find fox?
Speaker 6 (08:45):
So?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Does hee? What the German translation of fox?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The dirty?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
That sounds dirty?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Of course, of course.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, I'm glad that you don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I'm glad that you love your name. No, good for you,
good for you, thank you, sir. King can't have now, queen,
you can't have?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Wasn't it? What did did Danny? What did Danny name
his kid?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Which Danny?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Bonna Ducci sorry, what other Danny would I Dante?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Isn't it Dante?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
See from genies the Oh that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Oh and Danny Krapnick, absolutely the What did Danny name
his kid?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yes, Diane looked that up. I thought he gave him
a ring. Okay, No, no, that's Danny's name.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I thought he named him.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, he gave his kid, not prince, but he gave
his kid like some weird is it Esquire?
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Uh, Countess Isabella Mikaela right, Bonnaducci and my son Dante.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh so you were right there. Okay, very good.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I told you. How do you know that?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
I remember the stupidest stuff. Nothing of any importance.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
You may not you may not name your kid Jesus Christ, okay,
but you could go with Haitians.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
See if you meet plenty of Hajesus's.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Right, But you cannot go with Jesus Christ. You can't.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
And I don't know why this is. They they they
have the it's the Roman numeral three. I don't know
how you would I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You would like the III.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, that's against the law federally, that's a that's a
weird one. But would that be like if you were
naming your kid like you can. It's legal to name
your kid Junior.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
But as the three things sort of like Y two K,
the bug for suffix fields would throw computer. That's a
good question into a complete tizzy.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's a good question. I don't know. It just says
III capitalized against the law, as is Santa Claus.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Okay, there's a law against that.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, majesty, majesty against the law.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Your majesty, And the whole time we thought that was
just vain. Yes, no, it was a legal loophole.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Messiah against the law. You can't name a kid Messiah.
You also can't name them the at sign.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Oh, okay, that I get.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay, do you get one sixty nine, ten sixty nine?
You can't name them?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I would think that for like any sequence of numbers.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I guess you could do twelve sixty nine, but ten
sixty nine, why can't.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You do ten?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You gotta stick with the eagle.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Now I did say it frequency wide. I bet it's
ten sixty nine. Is that is that code for something
like like an emergency code or like white supremacy? The
I was really going more emergency ten sixty nine. If
that's an emergency code from something medical, I bet it
has to do with eating.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I don't know, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
And the last one on the list is Adolf Hitler. Okay,
which makes sense. But who's name in their kid? Al that?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I want to say. You've seen news stories because.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Remember people wanted to get there. They're like birth kid
a birthday cake.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yes that was It was a couple and they fought
it like crazy because the front I think they just
named the kid Adolph but not Adolf Hitler. But yeah,
that you can't do.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
But I mean, you're a jackass if you're naming your
kid Adolf Hitl.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Shut up and make your own cake.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
But he wants tearing me soon. You know, it was
a huge, huge deal and right there, I know, I
just I have to know because it was like a
core workout having to stretch. Now it's just a little low.
Oh you know what, fix it? God damn easy?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Being a pde simple, No kidding. Look at the morons.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
We have Elliott and they're on national teams. Jesus Christ,
this company is in the toilet.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
No, what I was gonna say is, as I mentioned,
in the eighties, Tyler and Logan were not that popular.
But then as we got into the nineties and that
name started showing up on lists and ranks and things
like that. Then merchandise started being made, whether it was
a little license plate for your bike or a keychain.
(13:24):
And so it's funny, like my daughter, whose name is Frailey,
she'll never find anything for the history of time, like
she'll never be a popular name.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, my kids like that.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
But my son's name is Rhett, and I have kept
I've told him for years. I said, your name is
surging as this return to the classics, this happening as
a trend. I mean, Rhett is a more popular name
than Tyler right now when you look at the rankings.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I believe that.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
And I've told him. I said, you're gonna start finding
stuff on those spinny racks. And for the first time
ever in Rehoboth of our Memorial Day weekend, you've found
a wret. He found a surf ford that said Wrett.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Did you let him get it?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Well, when I bought it, he didn't buy it with
his own money.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But I said, look, I told you, and.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
You're gonna start seeing this A ton because this name
is almost in the top one hundred for most popular
boys' names.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Oh wow, we never find like license plates with Marley Autam.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
My older one can get his name, usually misspelled. The
younger one will never find a license plate, the little
stupid license plate with his name on it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But my sister and I were never able.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
To Kristen, did you struggle with that because of the
spelling of your name?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well I mean yours, that's just weird,
like that's woodsy the but like Elaine my sister, Yeah, yeah,
you'll never find that Elaine. Yes, but she's with an
I Elaine that you won't find. You've learned you got
a horrible middle name, Karen.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Learned to love the spelling of your name.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, yeah, of course, of course makes you who you are.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Rellio, it's skidding around to the he still thinks it's woodsy.
That's how you describe colooney. Yeah no, but but Kristen's woodsy.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
She's got seventeen nights in the office.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Where am I going? Line three O.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
The ihould have called you hi, Elliott the morning.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Hi, good morning, how are you?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Can somebody look up though, because they did say I'm good.
Bear with me one second. They did say some states
have their own. Will you look up and see if
Virginia bars any and will you will you check Maryland?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm sorry, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
First, I'm calling because I'm with you. When I was
growing up, my name is Nina. And when I was
growing up, I never liked it because no one else
is named Nina, and I just felt weird. But now
I love it because it's different and now not many
people are named Nina.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Right.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
But I'm also calling because I'm a teacher and we
have I have several kings in my school and a
queen and a messiah well them.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
How is that possible to my school?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I don't know. Maryland's different. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But is that what they go by? You know what
I mean? Like you could go buy anything their name.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
That's their name in the school system's computer. I have
a two kings, a queen, and a messiah, four of them.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I mean, I guess that's better than that. I'm a hitler,
but the but don't have that.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But this says that in the in the in the
United States, it's illegal to name your kid that.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
I know. When I heard you say that. I was like,
I have to call because I have all of them.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That would be odd. You know what of those two,
I don't want either one.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Could you imagine? Your name's Messiah? I mean I hope
they're all good kids.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
I mean, Messiah is on that list in Virginia of
being banded King Messiah?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Where do you, Lucifer?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
No, it's Jesus, Diane. Where do you where? What where
do you teach? Are you in? Are you in Virginia
or Maryland?
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Maryland?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Does Maryland say anything about king?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
A lot of teachers have checked in on the socials
and they all have kings and queens?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Do they really?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Could you imagine if I was named King Siegel? I, however,
have found one that you have not mentioned. Wait, that's
banned in Virginia. So this is a thank you, ma'am.
So this is on top of it?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Is this why you asked me to look up Virginia?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I swear to God, I just I didn't look up
the different states.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Honey? What time does anus do on the soccer field?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Oh there's no parking. Let's go around back.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Oh and wait, you can't name a kid anus.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
That's hysterical.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
They think it might lead to bullying.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
No kidding is anal on?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
There?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Can you name a kid anal?
Speaker 6 (17:47):
I just have anos like the spelling bee.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You're on the right track. By the way, there is
data from Social Security though, where there are names in
the US and you're saying it's just Virginia where people
are named a n us.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But would they be like, oh, we're from like we're
Nordic and it's really honest, honest, you know where it's
not manassas? Hey, what's up? As?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I would walk around with candy bars and just wipe
it on them and go, look, ain't a streak?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
It says it has its roots in my pants? No Hebrew?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Actually, oh really.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Amus butt cheeks seagull, that's cruel. The most literal translation
is mortal man.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh really? Line one, Hi Elliet the morning. Hello, Hello, yeah, Hi,
who's yes?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Hey this is Mallory.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yes, Mallory. You like your name, don't you?
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah? So I have a fun name story.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
So I actually like my name. But the meaning behind
my name is unlucky.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Wait so the meaning, like, the meaning behind Mallory is unlucky.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Yeah, yeah, so if you look it up, the meaning
behind my name.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Is unlucky or ill fortunate.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Wow, that was on our short list?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
What ill fortunate?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Now, Mallory?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Was it really?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:40):
And get this, my brother's name.
Speaker 5 (19:44):

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, well we see that family hierarchy.
Speaker 1 (19:50):

Speaker 5 (19:53):
Right, you might as well call me Anus.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Very good, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Can end with the most literal translation. Anus is something
only the brother could be named means man. Come on,
he didn't even have that.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Hi, Elliott the morning.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Good morning?
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Who's this.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Rob? Harry?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I'm doing well, Rob? What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
So didn't mind my name growing up, but as a
general contractor is an adult, I hate my name.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Wait, you hate the name Rob, which I'm assuming you're
sure for Robert.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
But as an adult doing general contracting, being called Bob
