Pretty sure employers don't give a flying shite what your name is.


Actually studies show that resumes with stereotypical minority sounding names get much fewer call backs even when the resumes are virtually identical. Many companies are adopting blind resume policies due to this. Whether years from now this will be relevant, with all the unique and exotic names floating around, is yet to be determined.

Nothing wrong with Beau until you take the redneck spin like a couple I know and add the middle name of hunter.

Beau Hunter

Smh. Dude barely even hunts too.

If someone made up this list with Quantavious and Shaniqua, this bitch would be calling for them to be fired from their job and publicly shamed. The hypocrisy of Progressives.

Not gonna lie, Banjo would have been a pretty sick name growing up.

Banjo... Dude is going go get his arse kicked so much


There's really only two ways that can go. He's going to get his arse kicked, or........he's going to be that crazy guy that does the ridiculous shite at high school parties that everyone loves. "hey, let's get Banjo to do some shots and snort a rail off that police car"......."f**king Banjo!!!"

There is no room for in between.

My great grandpaw was named Beau, he fought in WW2 in the Marines. His wife was named Emma.

frick this bitch for sullying their names by including them in this list of mostly made-up names.

Are those type of names still popular these days? Like among newborns?

I realize this was an awful fad 10 years ago or so and those kids are still out there, but I feel like these memes have shamed people enough now that they are aware these days.

My wife does all the monogramming at a kids boutique. She will send me pics of some ridiculous names here and there, but most of them are normal names these days.

They're still extremely popular in the white trash/50K millionaire sector. You know, the type who typically don't get shite professionally monogrammed

Hipsters in BR seem to use names from cultures that are not their own.

Jose
Javier
Consuela

Now that I think about it they're mostly Latino names

I could have told you this from looking at her profile picture. Colored hair doesn’t lie, that’s a hard fast rule.
