What first names do you associate with, uh, underacheving (being a loser)?

[Chaotic42]

Any normal names messed up, like:

Khyryys for Chris
Kevyn for Kevin
Dhayvid for David

Something stupid like those.

 

[Legendary]

Cleatus

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

Haha, two Dustins come to mind, both losers.

Can't really think of any other specific names though.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Josh and Jacob.

Heh, that reminds me. The most annoying person I know is named Josiah. I'd have to add that to the list.

You wanna here a really wacky name, try Trung Canidate. That is the actual name of the running back for the redskins. Man wtf kind of name is Trung?

 

[ed21x]

Jessicas from my experience has always been hawt

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

Doug tops my list of idiots names. I know some people named Doug are really smart, but there was one Doug I knew freshman year of college...he was a complete moron and a jackass to boot. Ever since then, I've figured most people named Doug can't be too bright.

Okay...in my mind, anyone named Dustin is pretty much guaranteed a life of unfulfillment. I think this sprung from watching the infamous "Screech", aka Dustin Diamond.

What? Those are all fairly normal names, except maybe Sasha, which is Russian.

 

[NinjaGnome]

I would say ron, joe, and jake are all underachievers. I can think of a lot more though.

 

[yellowperil]

I think there's some truth to the theory, but mainly because parents in similar social classes tend to name their children the same. For example among Koreans (and possibly other Asians) there is an odd propensity to name their kids names like Eugene and Grace. Looking at sorority's roster you'll see a bunch of boring middle-class names like Jennifer and Lindsey (and a bunch of spelling variations).

Dustin tends to be a prole name (poor kid with the rattail)

 

[chowderhead]

If your name is Richard ... why would you want anyone to call you Dick, Mr. Cheney?

I know of one couple that tends to name their kids names that start with "K" - so now we have:

• Kurtis
• Karter

I will feel sorry for those little kids when they get older and have to live with those misspellings all their life.

Oh, and from personal experience, anyone named "Johnny" will be a redneck (no offense intended to anyone named John or Jonathon).
