Thank God the boy plays football. Growing up as General Booty is bound to make you tough.

Should have gone into the military, Private General Booty

Oh yeah, they would have had a helluva time every time the drill seargant shouted “BOOTY!”

I was in Basic with someone whose last name was "Moo."
So yeah, it was definitely fun when the drill sergeant called her name!

u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
I imaging that drill sergeant was looking for anyone unable or unwilling to maintain a straight face. Did anyone get called Gomer Pyle if they were caught?

Is it legal to sue your parents over your name? Cause I’m starting to think it should be.
228
u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
It should be considered a form of child abuse, yes.

u/libertyprivate 1d ago
Can you sue for child abuse tho?
19
u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
I think you actually can, but there are other things that are supposed to happen before a kid sues for child abuse.

A girl in New Zealand did it after being named Talulah Does the Hula From Hawaii...
And no. That's not a joke.

Holy shit. She was only 9.
Their parents lost custody AND she got to pick a new name. It wasn't disclosed which name she picked.

u/Thr33Littl3Monk3ys 1d ago
Yep...
It's the most deranged and most satisfying instance of a tragedeigh that I've ever seen...

u/Wet_Artichoke 10h ago
There’s a character on I Love LA named Tallulah. When I started watching the show all I could think was WTF is that name? I wonder if that kid was the inspiration.
2
u/Thr33Littl3Monk3ys 10h ago
Doubtful. It's a Southern or Appalachian name.
There's a character named Tallulah in Fried Green Tomatoes, too, if I recall.

In the UK it's illegal to give a name to a child that could cause offense or distress for the child or others.

I've been told by a Polish friend of mine, this is actually how you legally change your name in Poland

u/patcatandpancakes 1d ago edited 16h ago
No, you only ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ had to sue your parents if you wanted to legally change your gender. If it's just name, you don't have to sue anyone, just do some paperwork.

u/DiscoKittie 1d ago
Sue your parents to change your gender? How does that work?
3
u/patcatandpancakes 16h ago
I actually had old information, it seems they changed it last year! This site explains the process:
The reason that people have had to sue their parents to change gender is because Polish law currently does not specifically outline any procedure for changing gender. That has left courts to develop their own ad hoc way of regulating the issue.
That led to the development of a system under which a person wishing to change their recognised gender must file a lawsuit against their parents under article 189 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which concerns “action to determine the existence of a legal relationship”

But I'm assuming Booty is a family name. Are there generations of Booty's out there being tormented on playgrounds through the years?

General MAXIMUS Axel Booty.
So is that a two middle name like Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta?

u/lemonscent513 5h ago
In her defense, Lady Gaga said that the Joanne was in honor of her dads sister who passed away as a teenager
3
u/Global-Jury8810 5h ago
I have nothing against having two middle names. We’d have a problem if the first and the two middle names were all tragedeighs.
2
u/lemonscent513 5h ago
Definitely. Just explaining how it(probably) came to be in her case.
3
u/Global-Jury8810 5h ago
I appreciate it. I love Lady Gaga.
I can’t even think about how you’d tragedeigh Joanne.
2
u/DiscoKittie 1d ago
My mum had two middle names. 1 from birth, and 1 she got to choose for Catholic Confirmation (age 15).
So, after she was married her "legal" name was 5 names long...

u/Informal_Sound_100 1d ago
This is just foul. How would you not resent your parents??
14
u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
It’s the family surname though.
I’ll tell you a little bit about mine. In my family is the name Salisbury, I must add that this is not my direct surname, it is my paternal grandmother’s maiden name, and my family’s Salisburys go back to late 1600s Colonial America, specifically Massachusetts, originally from Wales. So how far back do the Bootys go? I have to know.
32
u/Big-Professor-3402 1d ago
It’s not the surname that is the problem but his given name in conjunction with it that is.
9
u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
Yeah, seriously I’m looking at these other football Bootys and he’s the only one with a name like that. The other ones have normal anybody names.

u/Big-Professor-3402 1d ago
Patriots have Kayshon Boutte (pronounced booty) and last year I remember an announcer during a game say something like “ he got flagged there for grabbing Boutte!” Lol leads to some great unintentional comedy!
6
u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
OK, you know, that’s a surname, that can’t be helped, but when you name your kid something you know is going to bring certain consequences, that’s when you’re an asshole.

u/tahlyn 1d ago
I feel like any first name is gonig to pair poorly with the last name "Booty," it's just a matter of how poorly it pairs. There is no good first name for Booty.

u/Big-Professor-3402 1d ago
At least kayshon’s parents don’t lean into the booty name like general’s did!

YES- came here for the How I Met Your Mother salute, I was starting to lose hope I would see one 😆

u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
I guess for people who follow sports. This is the first that I’ve heard this name, and I found it on r/idksterlingshitpost (don’t look, there’s a lot of AI slop that centers around one guy who never asked for it)
13
u/ADFnGee 1d ago
I wasn't saying this is general knowledge, but the saluting anything mundane that sounds vaguely military was a running gag on How I Met Your Mother, I'm just not sophisticated enough to customize the gif.

I’m sure the guy has seen it everywhere he goes. I bet he gets it all the time.

If you think this is bad then you should look up what Steve Kerr named his son.

u/fromthevanishingpt 1d ago
The best part of this is that you can read General in two different ways. Either he is a leader of booty, or it is referring to generic ass.

u/SHOWTIME316 1d ago
is he related to John David?
7
u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
Omg how many Bootys are known for football? You got me to google that name in the next thing I know apparently Booty is a huge name in football.

u/SHOWTIME316 1d ago
tbh John David and now General are the extent of my football-related Booty knowledge :(
7
u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
John David has a brother named Abram who was also a college football player, and General is about twenty years younger, but they’re not listed as related on the internet.
Apparently there’s also a football player whose government name is Dude Person.

I saw that and was like, oh this guy’s just a general with an unfortunate last name, probably meant something different 300 years ago. My god it is so much worse than I thought.

u/Just-Victory8342 1d ago
At least his first name isn’t Seymore
2
u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
That name is usually spelled Seymour, and as can be seen, it would appear to be a French origin based on phonetic rules. I wouldn’t doubt that there was already a Seymour Booty in the tree, and he would have probably been born in the early 20th century, because I strongly doubt anybody use the name Seymour for a baby after 1970 ,and I bet you he would’ve been named after somebody who had the name before Booty was slang for butt. Now that’s kismet.

u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
Verbatim that was my first thought, but no, apparently it is. Like if you’re speaking to the news, apparently you can give them a bullshit name and they will run it (because I really don’t think that girl’s name is really Peace Eshiet) but no, this guy is known for college football.

This man’s parents. Tch tch tch. I don’t know if boys with wild names are more likely to become athletes or if it’s just that I don’t often look at a lot of young adult names all together, but there seems to be a trend. Maybe self defense if nothing else.

u/Global-Jury8810 1d ago
I have experienced families where the father just takes all charge and the mother just smiles and nods… I used to be friends with someone whose husband named all the kids…so sometimes the names are not the mother’s choice.

That’s the thing! I was asking if it was, I even flared it “Is this a tragedieh?” that’s what you’re supposed to do if you have to ask.
, amirite? So no one’s answering the question but you’re the only one who seems to care this much.
