Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Here is a list. Moon Unit is first. Child of Frank Zappa.

List of weird name

Well with a dad with a name like Frank Zappa, you get what you get and hope for the best.

Could be worse, kid could be named Khaleesi

I used to work with a guy named Pelvis. I couldn't bring myself to ask him where the name came from lol

Zappa’s kids are fine since they’re children of a famous person (not to mention talented in their own right) and have the privilege of not having to live like a normal person with a weird name.
