Scholastika. Real name in Slovakia. I have never ever met anyone of that name. I am still waiting for brothers Nihilizmus and Solipsizmus.

Chlamydia is a cute name for girl, but unfortunately it already has meaning that is not so much cute.

I'm curious about the resurgence in the 50/60s

People in 1990: maybe enough time has passed that - nooope.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 31 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

I was doing payroll recently for my work, and came across Harsh Harsh. I had to ask our HR lady, really? His last name was Harsh and his parents named him Harsh?

Well, no. She said his name was simply Harsh but our system required a last name so she repeated it.

Still, pretty harsh I think.

My grandfather in law only had one name. When they immigrated, they made his first name "XXX".

One time someone asked him "like the movie?"

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's an interesting thing, in many countries such as the UK, it is perfectly legal to just not have a surname. Probably the best example is our own King, Charles.

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

But Charles does have a surname. Mountbatten-Windsor? Or does that not count? I'm foggy on what the rules are for the royal family.

There's a song about that.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] trk@aussie.zone 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

No but seriously Johnny Cash has quite a popular song about this exact thing

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 1 points 30 minutes ago (1 children)

I know, that was why I made the comment!

[–] trk@aussie.zone 1 points 6 minutes ago
