I think "Arika" could work. Or maybe Awika.

But as someone who has a unique spelling of a common name myself, it sure makes things harder in life.

People say it wrong. Or write it wrong.

I have to spell it out all the time to others if I'm making appointments or something on the phone.

It's a real pain. Don't do that to your kids.

Poor air didn't stand a chance...

I am suspicious of some of those colours in the background

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

that’s racist

[–] hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 hours ago

This is how you learn you're colorblind.

It’s kinda metal, every bit as metal as it is unusual.

PlaneCrasha McBride.

Why didn’t her parents just name her “fart” if she’s an air wrecka.

[–] frog@feddit.uk 7 points 8 hours ago

That's her nickname.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 13 points 10 hours ago

What's the equivalent of /r/tragedeigh?

Reminds me of Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck. She did her thesis on uncommon black names.

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 5 points 6 hours ago

I went to school with her. Her maiden name wad Jackson.

TBH her parents were (maybe still are) pathetic selfish people and she was kind of a holier-than-thou prude -- but way better than her parents.

I wonder if she could keep the "tradition" alive in Germany. It has strict rules about what names you can give your child. But names that fit your heritage and culture are usually allowed.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It would totally be within american culture to name your child crystal meth

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I'd love to meet Crystal Beth

Fun fact I worked a diesel workers union job where everyone got company uniforms with our surname on the breast pocket.

There was a crazy smart Chinese dude who worked there. His name was Long Dong. His shirt said "Dong" on it. Our undereducated Indiana co workers found this endlessly worth joking about

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

If his middle name wasn’t Duk, I will be severely disappointed.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I bet they would've joked even more if it also included name

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh, they knew his first name and did not hesitate to use it for their mirth as well

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Coming to the right , your world champion AIIIIIRRRRWREEEEEECKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.... Mc..... BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!

Uncontrolled flatulence is a real problem people.

I once worked in a team that had both an Aaron and an Erin, and it was confusing for the Americans since they pronounce both names very similarly (in Australia we pronounce them differently). I think Aaron ended up being referred to as "A A Ron"

J. Quellin?

This is what I call my fiancée when she lets a really nasty one rip

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I only have an extra letter. I think that’s why I’m not getting job interviews. they think I’m black.
