Rex Murphy. Regis Philbin. King Floyd. King Vidor. all real names of famous people.

Wait, is Aaron one step above Baron?

Yes, and one step below the all powerful Ron.
No, Aaron translate to, roughly, "The Exalted One" or "The Mighty One" which some historians have argued was a title at one point, since it>

I literally know one who named her daughter Khaleesi just before season 8. Then got really mad. I was like idk what you expected.
I really appreciate to live in a country where we have laws against making your children targets for bullying at a young age.

Was it just because season 8 was awful or did Khaleesi get a different meaning? I never watched.
RideTheStimutacs
It was a bad season (though fans exaggerate, as they do), but she also becomes a horrible insane tyrant just like every other Targaryen.
But like, which should have surprised no one! She showed signs of being murderously insane through the whole show!
She killed thousands of innocent people and then got killed by her own general. As was foreshadowed the whole time.

Eh, literally every neckbeard I’ve ever met quotes Marcus Aurelius. If you’re naming your kids after Romans, they’ll have other issues
HufflePuffPuff
What about Roman Pierce from Two Fast Too Furious...
Sad because his memoirs are quite the read he was a very thoughtful man
Definitely. I’m not saying his writings are bad, or that there’s an issue with stoicism at all.
I gather it's just a shame he's miss quoted or miss understood by neck beards

honestly those ppl who get way too into roman stuff are gonna be the main source of those issues

Stoicism is the "actually" of philosophies. If we were all robots of rationality that way, we wouldn't need philosophy.

There's definitely some people who named their kid Nero because they know DMC but don't know where *he* got the name from...

*looks at Fate waifu Nero* yeah…

Ain't nothing wrong with Nero.
Colopty
How do you get used to being betrayed and assassinated? Seems like that would be a one-off event.
zFUBARz
I feel like that quote loses something in the translation.

Nero wasn't too bad. Bad reputation is mainly christian propaganda due to the persecution of the early church.

Wasn't Nero the one that burned Rome down, also?

Sarah means "princess"

I've never cared about anything as much as some people care about that stupid fucking show
PodolKev
Earl, Barron, and Augustus were too, but it didn't stop them from becoming common names.
igooutsidesometimes
Roy, Rex, Karl, Duke, Peon, Stewart, Basil/Vasili
thescyllaandcharybdis
Fun fact, I’m Australia and maybe UK too you can’t name your kid after certain titles, (royal titles, certain military ones and such)
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
I mean, so is Earl, and Augustus, and Baron. And I think arguably Aaron was as well. And I guess Rex if we include dog names.
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
Rex Murphy. Regis Philbin. King Floyd. King Vidor. all real names of famous people.
Allrighty
Wait, is Aaron one step above Baron?
Bigcurly2000
Yes, and one step below the all powerful Ron.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
No, Aaron translate to, roughly, "The Exalted One" or "The Mighty One" which some historians have argued was a title at one point, since it>
MantisTobagganMD
Whoosh

Thank you, it took this comment for me to realize a joke had even been made.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
follows the usual convention of title > name. But it's not confirmed, which is why I said "arguably" for it.

Fuckwits don't care. Or think. Or know anything. That's why they are fuckwits.

I literally know one who named her daughter Khaleesi just before season 8. Then got really mad. I was like idk what you expected.
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
I really appreciate to live in a country where we have laws against making your children targets for bullying at a young age.
RedInCircles
Was it just because season 8 was awful or did Khaleesi get a different meaning? I never watched.
RideTheStimutacs
It was a bad season (though fans exaggerate, as they do), but she also becomes a horrible insane tyrant just like every other Targaryen.
FiveShiftOne
But like, which should have surprised no one! She showed signs of being murderously insane through the whole show!
FiveShiftOne
She killed thousands of innocent people and then got killed by her own general. As was foreshadowed the whole time.

That show isn't important enough to wreck the name. They'd love to be, but they're not.

Hey man like it or not, it lasted 12 seasons and won several Emmy's and other awards i believe. It might not be Cheers, Seinfeld, or (1/2)

Eh, literally every neckbeard I’ve ever met quotes Marcus Aurelius. If you’re naming your kids after Romans, they’ll have other issues
HufflePuffPuff
What about Roman Pierce from Two Fast Too Furious...
TheFunionKnight
Sad because his memoirs are quite the read he was a very thoughtful man
wadatahmydamie
Definitely. I’m not saying his writings are bad, or that there’s an issue with stoicism at all.
TheFunionKnight
I gather it's just a shame he's miss quoted or miss understood by neck beards
RexFury
honestly those ppl who get way too into roman stuff are gonna be the main source of those issues
copperdomebodhi
Stoicism is the "actually" of philosophies. If we were all robots of rationality that way, we wouldn't need philosophy.

Oddly enough, I find Raistlin almost acceptable - considering what poor kids have been named in the past 10 years or so.

Yes, I read the books. Still.
OriginalSyn
I feel like just having that name would make you a self-fulfilling prophecy of becoming a moody edge lord.

It'd be awesome if your friend Raistlin was that Happy Goth though. "I brought Sisters of Mercy CD's... and cupcakes!"
