Question for the class, is a prospective politician named ‘Kunt’ an example of !nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk?
Yes
There is (was?) a local school board chair with the last name of Rape. Apparently he was petitioned (unsuccessfully) to be removed from his duties years before becoming the chair due to racial comments. I’m honestly not surprised anymore.
Absolutely!
Some parents are just cruel. My dad had a friend growing up, his name was Jack Imhof. There’s no way that’s an accident, they knew.
My Dad works with a guy named Paul Hiscock.
I thought he was joking until he called Paul’s voicemail while I was in the car.
I don’t know why you wouldn’t just get it changed.
Especially in the UK which is the easiest country (alongside Ireland) to change your name. There’s literally no legal process, just print out a form saying “My name was this and now it’s this”, get two mates to sign it and then use it as proof for HMPO, DVLA, your GP, etc
Oof, that’s unfortunate. We once had an auditor whose name was pronounced key-kay, but was spelled ‘kike’. I had to do a double check when I saw her on Zoom.
Happens a few times in MLB with Kíke Hernandez
It’s not a super uncommon name in Latin America in Spanish speaking countries. I’ve got one in my extended family, even.
You can tuna piano, but you can’t tuna
When I was a contractor, me and the guys on my crew used to say “you can tuna piano, but you can’t tuna half.” Just a little inside joke that didn’t have to make sense to make us giggle.
This smells a bit fishy. 🤔
It’s okay. Soon, she’ll legally change her first name to Ariel.
Oh come on
Growing up with a name like that, she’d have developed a skin like a rhino, which will be useful in politics.
Can probably get away with a motto like “You can Tuna piano but you can’t Tuna Kunt”
It’s pronounced Koont…
President Caviar stands for student rights!
Yeah we’ve never had a successful person with a silly name like Howard Butts or A. Duie Pyle or Siemens or …
