I just flipped on Fox News and saw Kelly Wright talking about some Iraq stuff and it got me to thinking... In my life I have known 10 or so guys with Chick names. Three or four Kelly's, two Shannons, a Leslie, a Marion, a Francis we called Frank, a Liz...I can't think of others. Anyway...I can't think of a single dude I know with a predominantly female name that isn't cool as ice. I mean like 'greatest guy on the earth' cool. So my question is twofold. Maybe three. 1. What are some other dude/chick names? 2. Why are guys with chick names so cool? 3. Do you guys have any proof that there are dudes with chick names that are a-holes? Or do you have friends that support my claim? I know, I know, it's abstract but...
I knew a Shannon in 8th grade. He was "too cool for school" cool. I mean that literaly because he got booted twice and I never saw him again.
Well there was one guy. Chance was his name... Hmmm, Sandy, Casey, Erin, Aaron, Aron, Samrolleyes, Tracy.
1) Me 2) A lot of it stems from years and years of being made fun of in elementary school. It's kinda like being the really fat kid, or so I've been told. We become really cool and/or funny so that we can be less of a target. Just my opinion. 3) After getting tired of being called "nice" "chill" "cool" for so long, I've been making a concious effort of being an a-hole for the last year, in sort of the Eminem "I don't give a f" attitude. It's not really working cause other people think that is cool too. It's just a curse, I guess. All of this is in jest of course. <--- Kim
OH MAY GOD, YOU'RE A DUDE, dude!?!??!??! Well, while we're (back) at it, Jackie, as in SirJackieChiles. On a side note, the guy who played Jackie Chiles on Seinfeld now plays the guy on Wanda At Large. He must be desperate for money.
My name was made fun of for the first half of first grade, then I got into a fight over it, and it never happened again. This doesn't make sense, seeing how I moved from that school in third grade and to several others without incident, but nevertheless. Since I was six (I'm 22 now), I never wanted a name change. I dig my name, and though it's not the reason I use my real name as a handle (I only use it because I don't like coming up with lame nicknames, "Hoopsboi69" or some ****), and I'd never change it. It remains an odd name, without being too odd, like "Moon Unit" or "Dweezil" or something. Throw in the Irish heritage, and it works. Odd without trying to be strange. Strange thing is, I've yet to meet another guy Kelly. Seemingly half the people I meet always like bringing up, "oh, one of my best friends is a dude named Kelly, he's awesome!" Great. Still haven't met one. I'm just glad, with Kelly W.'s 4am Fox work, and the lingering memory of Kelly Gruber (3rd baseman) and Kelly McCarty (Denver Nugget training camp chump), it's growing.
"Dweezil" I like it. You've never met a guy named Kelly. You sound a little overoptimistic about it. I can hook you up if you want *phlem*.
When I was first getting into the internet, like when I was 13 or 14, guys use to look at my handle and always be like A/S/L??? I would always say, "dude, I'm a dude." They would always tell me to change my nickname. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I used to spell it "osky." You'd think, however, that if you saw the name "osky69," it was a redflag for a immature kid. I still have that Yahoo acount and use it for my fantasy leagues. Anyways, guy with a chick name, um, I remember a character from an old movie, the Third Man, named Holly Martins.
It isn't really guys with chick names that I give a damn about, it is girls with dude names that I dig. There was this girl named ryan that I knew in college and would have eaten the corn out of that girl's cobs. I also like girls named samantha that go by sam. Guy's with girl's names are just tough, like that boy named sue.
Look: I don't want to be rude but my birth-name has always been Jaime McFagget. I cannot tell y'all how often this has hurt me in my career. My advice? Please understand that people's names are THERE OWN!! We didn't choose them! And Secondly, the name Jaime is JIM! Damnit!
