What's your name's drawback?

Yeah, it's a site for finding a name for your baby, but the best part is the "Drawbacks" section on every name.

Take Alex-

* Alley Cat
* Lexus
* Big Al
* Alexis
* Lexia
* Alexia
* Ajax
* Papo
* A-laxitive
* Alice
* Lex

Alright, my name kinda sucks for making fun, but then again my last name more than made up for it.

Jessica has a lot of good ones. What's yours?

I think it's funny to talk to your parents and find out what your name could have been. To find out that my name could have been Gabriel. I would have been quite the goth back in the day.

* Deboring One
* The Debster

In elementary school, it was de-BORE-ah. (or deb-deb amongst my friends)

In junior high, I got the Little Debbie thing.

In high school, it was "Little Debbie has a snatch for you." And the whole Debbie Does Dallas thing.

When I started college, I just went by Deb. Cut out a lot of that stuff. Except for my boss a few years ago, who started in on the Little Debbie thing again... sigh.

Daniel is derived from a Hebrew expression which means "My Judge is God." Then the site goes into the ultra-obvious story of the Hebrew prophet Daniel.

* Kneel
* Dandruff
* Fanny Danny
* Danube
* Dan, Dan the Garbage Man
* Dano
* Daniel San (from The Karate Kid)
* Dancy
* Dan the Man
* Lieutenant Dan (from "Forrest Gump")
* Dan L
* Danimal
* Ding Dong Dan
* Danny boy
* Daniel, Daniel, Cocker Spaniel
* Daniel Boone
* Daniel Paniel
* Danielle
I have to say, a lot of those are lazy and not even insulting. Usually, "Danny Boy" and "Dan the Man" are used as terms of endearment. And "Danielle" is kind of an English specific insult and a really fucking weak one. My last name, however, oh that's a boatload of fun.

Scott: English, meaning: Person from Scotland.

Drawbacks:

Scooter (I was actually called this in college by a few people; given the Phil Rizzuto association, I didn't mind).

Scott Pot (My best friend growing up - a kid from the Philippines - called me this for years).

Slot (New one on me)

Squawty Scotty (I like to think I have a large vocabulary, and I am utterly puzzled by this one)

Scott Twat (Never heard this one. . . but probably should have.

Snotty Scotty (My wife called me that, once. Once.)

Scotty gotta go potty (sounds more like something I might have said as a toddler)

Squirt (?!)

Scott Tissue (This one got old by 6th grade)

Scott Tot (I have no idea what it means either)

Snot (Kind of obvious; I'm sure it's been used on me in the past)

Scotty the hottie (How exactly is this one a drawback? Unfortunately, I've never been called that one. . . ).
