Wait, what's Sam's last name? Cuz Keiffer Katz is pretty badass, like a character in an awesome novel. (I'm probably projecting a bit there with the Katz since it sounds like Gatz like Jimmy Gatz like James Gatsby)

i know a chris martin who is actually an incredibly cool guy and very talented musician and always, always gets asked by people he first meets if he likes coldplay. he fucking hates coldplay. it's kind of like the tragic situation with michael bolton from office space. that would probably be a case of "worst name" more than "best name".

My uncle's name is Richard Glover. It wasn't until last year that I actually realised how funny that name is, so now I giggle whenever I mention him.

when i worked at a call center last year i called and spoke to someone named mr. gubbles. he was a farmer. i had been talking to someone right before he picked up the phone so i didn't see his name on the computer screen and had absolutely no time to mentally prepare to deal with his ridiculous name. he was a very serious man. by the end of the call tears were literally streaming down my face because i was trying so hard not to laugh or do anything stupid every time i said his name. can you say "mr. gubbles" out loud without laughing? it's really hard.

I do not have the best name, although I think my last name is pretty great.


Anyway, here are a few fairly popular names for boys in Norway:

Bård (pronounced "bored")
Simen (guess what this sounds like)
Odd (needs no further explanation)

So guys, whenever you think your name isn't that great please think about these guys. There are actually quite a few of them over here.

there was another girl i met through a friend who was named morag dick. doesn't really mean anything but she was so pretty and cool and her weird ugly name was totally uncharacteristic of her. you'd think with already having "dick" for a last name, her parents would have tried to think of something a bit better than "morag".

There was a student in my class last semester named Morag (actually have her in a class this semester too.) I had no idea her name was Morag until halfway through the semester when I was reading some official form in class and was like "Morag? Who's that?" (she goes by a nickname)
