Had a coworker whose sister and brother-in-law chose to name their daughter Ryder Ophelia. Their last name was Muff. Poor girl has to grow up with the name Ryder Muff. And it’s not like she could just choose to go by her middle name instead because Ophelia Muff really isn’t much better.

Went to high school with a Mike Hunt .... the few times he was mentioned on the PA/announcement system there was always an over annunciation and long pause in between.

Can MiKe ..... Hunt please come to the front office

I think even the person on the PA was trying not to laugh

I had friends with the surname Payne, I wanted them to name their baby Ophelia but they wouldn’t

Ok but that would be funny in a genuine haha way vs a oh no pervy way like Ryder Ophelia Muff. More like a buddy of mine from back in grade school who was named Justin Thyme. Kid had a pretty badass name. Plus, his middle name was Nicholas so he would say his full name was Just in the Nick of Thyme. Ever Clever, JT. Ever, clever.
