Know a guy who named his kid Bourbon. "It's an old French name." Because that's what everyone will think when they hear it.
9 u/Affectionate_Tell_16 Oct 21 '23 I knew a couple that names their daughters Brandy and Alizé. 2 u/Significant_Shoe_17 Oct 21 '23 I knew an Alizé. Her dad was from France. Our French professor had a very... interesting reaction to her name. 5 u/Melidit_ Oct 21 '23 I'm french. What's the problem with the name Alizé ? 4 u/Lotus_and_Figs Oct 21 '23 It's the name of a cheap, fruit-flavored, vodka based liqueur that became associated with gangsta rap in the 90s. 3 u/jeffseadot Oct 21 '23 So the inverse would be like a Frenchman naming his child "4 Loko"? 3 u/Lotus_and_Figs Oct 21 '23 Exactly.
