I'd say less than 99%, because some women change their last name when they marry or divorce or whatever. [I only say some because none of the women in my family changed their names except my mother.]

As someone who goes by a completely different name than the name given at birth, I have to say that the parents cannot always predict if a child likes their name... I had an ex named Andrew who hated how boring his name was.

My birth name? It was picked because it sounded exotic yet still could pass as an actual name, albeit very rare. I hated that name partially for that reason. My brother was named after somebody, but me? My name was picked out of a book because it sounded fancy. My parents didn't even name me until after I was born. I didn't get to hear name speculations like most people I know did... I was just named spur of the moment, no thought given to it at all. Nothing significant about it.

Therefore nobody will ever be allowed to address me by that name. You call me Maximillion, which was chosen at my parent's approval, or you get hit.

What I really would like to know is why the hell someone like Kim Kardashian is famous and revered by tons of teenage girls worldwide.

I have this very strong feeling, that I pretty much feel the exact opposite of Purple Kraken about absolutely every single thing there is.

I'm kinda like Batman: I pass judgment on whoever I please because I don't believe in any authority greater than mine, and I don't need a reason. COME AT ME BRO!!!

But yeah people who give their kids deliberately stupid names on purpose are the worst. Self-centered, inconsiderate twats who use their kids as ornaments to show off how "forward-thinking" (read: Trendy) they are. But I mean there's a pretty thick line between "creative" and "stupid" and that should be obvious.

"...And this is our lovely daughter, Sweet-Apple Moonbeam. Isn't she precious?"
"She's darling. Listen... do you want me to push you down a flight of stairs, or would you rather let little Sweet-Beam Whateverthef*ck do it for revenge as soon as she's old enough to realize what you've done?"

I mean c'mon.

She sucked a giant black hose on video and immediately became a billionaire despite having zero life skills past that. You're surprised that the "Huge Whore = Huge $$$" formula is appealing to teenage girls? Most of 'em are halfway there already, of course they're going to idolize someone who affirms what they believe in.

I was actually talking about given names, not last names, which yes, many women DO change after marriage. In fact, as often as I joke about having married a duck, I CHOSE to take his last name, in spite of knowing I would get some ribbing for it. So I'm fairly familiar with the idea- actually, true story, when we were filling out the license, I suggested splicing part of my maiden name onto his, and making it McDuck. Seriously. He nixed the idea.

I can tell you from experience: Never mess with a woman who went through Jr High with a name like Sweet-Apple Moonbeam.

Had a supervisor once who's first name was Lamb, and there was no harder woman ever born.

Save for maybe my mother's divorce attorney Empress.
That woman was my freakin' hero.

Some girls I'm friends with on FB like Kim Kardashian's page and also followed her reality show. What I wanna know is why girls and young women who aren't whores care about her at all. Now that is weird. Whorish and brainless ones isn't.

If I was a parent, I'd be very concerned if my teenage daughter looked up to a woman like that.

As for Kanye West... he's a gay fish, so who cares.

[Leo656]

He loves fish sticks in his mouth.

IM NOT A F*CKING GAY FISH


Kanye's actual reaction to that episode is exactly how he is portrayed in it.

Oh, okay. Definitely no offense intended to women who do choose to take last names, by the way -- not sure if my post ever read that I meant that sort of thing, because I don't.

Naming norms are interesting:



The Iberian Peninsula's got it right, jabrounis. Be jelly.

I remember once someone seeing on the internet that Kanye West considered himself a more important Black American in history than Rosa parks. It turned out to be fake... but me and many could imagine Kanye actually saying something like that.

[Leo656]

I bet he says it in the mirror every morning.

"I'm like Rosa, King, and Malcolm X, all wrapped up in a fly pink shirt! KIM! Get over here an' pop my collar!"

[Netkeeper]

I read that in his voice. Dayum.

A friend of mine had a relative named Optimus Prime , I'm not sure if I'd hate the name or love it.
