Which Replacement Names Are the Weirdest, and What Name Would You Have Rather Picked?

#1 Postby Category5Kaiju » Sat Sep 04, 2021 6:28 am

Here are my top personal ones:

Rita —> Robin (not Rina)
Katrina —> Kathleen (not Katia)
Michael —> Maurice (not Milton)
Dennis —> Donald (not just Don)
Fabian —> Fletcher (not Fred)
Georges —> Gregory (not Gaston)
Joaquin —> Jeffrey (not Julian as Julia is already a List 2 name)


Just for hypothetical funsies of course :lol:

There's a ton of good names from the 50's, 60's and 70's that they just removed from the lists for whatever reason and haven't used again. Of course they were all female names but still.

Amelia
Becky (I'd take over both Beryl and Bertha)
Dorothy
Edith
Evelyn
Gail and Ginger easily over Gert
Holly
Ivy
Jane
Jenny
Jill
Jodie
Judith
Justine
Linda
Lucy
Margo
Marsha
Mary
Molly
Nancy over Nana 8 days a week
Norma
Penny
Rachel and Ruth I'd take over Rina
Sabrina
Sheila
Shirley
Susan
Tina
Vanessa

There's even Roger from the Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet.

Maybe not the weirdest but here's my official request for the entire Gilligan's Island cast to be named Storms for a single year; that list would include:
Gilligan
Jonas (The Skipper)
Thurston (Howell III)
Eunice (Mr. Howell's wife)
Roy (Professor)
Ginger (the Movie-star)
and my personal fav - Mary Ann

I’ll go with the obvious: Katrina and Rita probably has the weirdest replacements given how close they were to the original names. For Katrina I’d choose Kendra or Kirsten and for Rita I’d choose Rena (pronounced Ray-nuh) or Ramona.
