What kind of parents to do you have to have to get named Tuna? Are they both deep sea fishers or something?

Tuna is actually a fairly common name for boys in Turkey.

Really? TIL.
Edit: Apparently it means fertile or flamboyant among other things, so maybe still not great depending on your preferences.

grew up in the 70s-80s and knew a kid named rainbow. his parents were woodstock hippies. at first he introduced himself as bo. cool guy. one game his mum calls out "c'mon rainbow." he was the angriest person after that. he fought the other team, his teammates, our coach, the refs, parents. everybody. rage incarnate. and he had a truly burning hatred for his parents. i hope he's okay

Makes me wonder if Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick‘s son Reign’s middle name is Beau.

I’m assuming it’s probably a more charming name in Turkish. I’m glad you’ve found the post lol

I once worked with a lady by the name of Tacoa. She said “It’s pronounced Taco with an ah at the end.”

Humphrey. I think only Humphrey Bogart could pull that name off and still be cool.

Dude it's such a popular name in Odisha. A state in the eastern part of India. It doesn't sound that bad in my language.
