Name Shame

The unfortunate title associated with having inconsiderate parents who doom their offspring to a lifetime of shame and embarrassment due to the ridiculous names given to them at birth.
Such unfortunate people exist such as: North West, Moon Unit Zappa, Dweezil Zappa to name a few.

Another example of a near miss Name Shame event.
At the hospital shortly after their new son is born Bula Bawls says her her husband "Dick, we can't do that to our new son naming him after your grandfather."
Dick thinks about this for a minute and says, "Bula, you're probably right. I can picture the teacher calling attendance on the first day of school if by that unfortunate chance there's two Harry's in the class. When both boys raise their hands after being called and the teacher sees this I can picture her saying, "ah, how nice, we have pair of Harry Bawls in the class this year."" Later that day, Richard N. Bawls and Bula Bawls leave the hospital still thinking about a nice non Name Shame name for their new son.

name insult definitions

Creating a definition using a name or random word to insult someone. Insulting definitions are usually a name and consist of insulting words or comments about the person who's name is the definition. I don't like "insert name here" and these are the reasons why. The problem with name definitions is that there may be multiple definitions for the name and the person you are trying to insult will not be able to know which definition is yours, and even if you don't like said person it is doubtful other people will read your listing and say to themselves "Hey, if he doesn't like that guy I shouldn't either". Writing name definitions to insult someone is an ineffective method of letting someone know you don't like them.
I don't like people that make name insult definitions, if you don't like someone that I don't know why should I care. Insult the person with your friends or people that actually know who it is you are talking about.
