Strange names

[beepandetch.livejournal.com]

Kid I just saw dancing on Yo Gabba Gabba!: Maxton (I guess the other million REAL versions of 'Max' names weren't good enough)

My OB/Gyno: Ogelsby Young (Not sure where that name came from. He's definitely not ethnic.)

Guy I used to work with: Wrenches Spears (That's his real full name. I had access to HR records. I just shortened it and called him "Weapons".)

WDYT?

Maxton is awful.
I know someone with the last name Ogelsby. Hate it as a first name.
And Wrenches Spears is ridiculous.

Everyone is ethnic. I believe the ethnicity of Ogelsby is Anglo Saxon or English.

This. Ethnic =/= dark skin.

Sorry, just something that bothers me a lot. No hurt feelings intended! :)

Yeah, I meant he has a very New England accent and not an accent from another country. Or another region of the country really. Dark skin didn't even enter my mind.

Thank you.

Thankyou, you beat me to it.

Yeah yeah yeah, everyone is ethnic. Thanks for the cultural lesson.

I meant that there are no distinguishing characteristics about him that dictate why he was named as such. He's very New England and I live in New England.

Ogelsby at least looks like a name, if a weird one. Wrenches is beyond ridiculous.

I would bet anything that Ogelsby was a family name, that just screams surname to me.

Maxton and Wrenches (even without the extra machinery in the last name) are awful.

LOL at "Weapons"...
