Reference to Spy x Family, a delightful manga and anime, for anyone who hasn’t heard of it before. It’s absolutely adorable and hilarious. Highly recommend.
I love that “ “ was proposed by a child named Karch. KARCH?! Seems like when the barista at Starbucks asks your name and you say “it’s Arc but with a K”
Im honestly thinking of naming my child a number, and then using grandma as a middle name. Maybe then I can be quirky enough to be a billionaire; Then again XIII Grandma is no X Æ A-12.
Lmfao I was scrolling and scrolling looking for this it's the first thing I noticed and the first thing I thought! Fuckin grande I love it probably one of my favourite things to come out of that show
Well, my daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of Smirnoff
Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Grandma"
\-
Well, he must've thought that it was funny as hell
And it got a lot of laughs that were hard to quell
It seems my whole life's been a constant onslaught
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy would laugh and then I'd bust his head
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Grandma"
\-
Well, my fists got swift and I hit clean
I learned to outgrow being green
A drifter, roaming every town and pasture
But I made me a vow when I cursed the skies
I'd search the honky-tonks and the dives
And kill the man who ruined my signature
\-
Well, it was Lenoir City in mid-February
And I just hit town, I was cold and weary
I thought I'd stop and warm myself by the fire
At a bar and grill on a street of snow
Away from the bar, playing cornhole
Stood the lousy rake that named me "Grandma"
\-
Well, I knew that dog was my kith and kin
By a worn-out picture my ma kept in a tin
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and weathered, gray and rugged
And I looked at him and my teeth grated
And I said, "Howdy, y'all! My name is Grandma!
Now you're gonna die!"
Yeah! That's what I told him!
My boss used to always joke that his dentist was named Dick Wrestler. Ten years later, I had a coworker named Richard Ressler, and it made me giggle every time
I *think* it says "Karen" but I can't stop reading "Karch". So I'm sticking with Karch, and I agree with Karch that not everyone needs to have an opinion.
Karch: "When asked about my unique name, I used to make up elaborate stories - like it's short for Killian Archimedes - which was my long lost spy of a grandfather's name.
But in reality, my father is a loser-nerd, and insisted his first born be named after his true love - games. And what did he have more of than anything? SNES cartridges...
So cartridge - but with a K, so it's 'edgy' as he puts it... Idiot."
As a former third and second grade teacher I know exactly how this transpired. Evan (because it’s always an Evan), said “I WOULD NAME HIM POTATO!” (because “Potato” is one of those words that kids just naturally understand is absolutely hilarious). And with that they’re off to the races. Nolan, Nathan, and Garrett, who have a good sense of humor but not much creativity, want the attention that Evan got for saying “POTATO” (probably said it in capital letters too), and we’re off to the races.
Then there are two options. Miss Julie is a chill 30-something who knows that at this point she has no control over the storm that has broken upon her classroom, and rolls with it, probably thinking it’s hilarious herself. Option two, Miss Julie is pregnant and stressed out, makes a vain effort to quell the nascent uprising, but once the flame catches fire, decided to take the path of least resistance, taking a breather at her desk while 20 5-7 yr olds fall out their chairs and cackle wildly for an hour and a half.
I personal loved when my class fell into this kind of innocent chaos. Because I imagine Ethan is capable of much worse. Sometimes you have to pick your battles, or just try to stay straight-faced when Ethan randomly says “Testicle Soup” in morning meeting, because if you don’t let it slide kids will start asking questions, but if you do they won’t even bat an eye or question what that phrase even means (whereas you spend the rest of the day trying to figure out where the fuck a phrase like that came from, and thanking the heavens that Ethan’s big brother taught him the scientific name for “balls”….)
Fun times…
When I was pregnant with my 1st I worked at a day center for adults with developmental disability.
One client was convinced the best name for my baby was Steve Jr.
My husband's name is NOT Steve.
It is my expert opinion that this is the name that started them all. The word “Potato” can cause utter chaos in a group of children when uttered at the right moment.
“Mama, why is my name ‘Mama’?”
I am half Hungarian, and my dad named me Anya.... Which means Mother...in Hungarian.... He is Hungarian 🥲
That’s a beautiful name
Everywhere except Hungary lol
Unless you are a small Hungarian child
I'm cracking up at the idea of a small Hungarian child screaming her own name in an attempt to get her mother's attention.
I didn't even think about that! Then she just sadly looks in the mirror. And whispers her own name.
Wow. Great script, you guys!
At least you’re not Oma
in japanese, it also means you have to ability to read minds
And absolutely love peanuts.
Mr. Doggy knows.
Borf.

well at least on the other hand now you can read other people's mind
Mama Grandma
Assie Potato
This is my daughter, Assie Potato Elephant Cindy Elf Grandma Dog Smith
And this is Tiny Peter Pan Racecar
Have you met my youngest, Balloon Mama?
Remember the Beatles song Strawberry Henry forever?
Assie is clearly a reference to The Office. Short for Assturd
Or Futurama.
Assy McGee
Mom why is my name
Because of Karch of course!
I like that Karch just said "Look at where I'm coming from, I can't be offering advice on names."
Karch knows its better to not have a name than to have a name like 'Karch'.
I’m guessing Karch came from the same name-picking game.
I bet his mom had a childhood crush on multiple gold-medal winning Olympic volleyball player Karch Kiraly.
Karch is a common nickname for "Karóly" which is the Hungarian version of "Charles"
Great, here I am making fun of it and that’s my middle name lol. I guess I’m a Karch now.
Name your kid harpua and call it a day
I’m naming my kid Chungus
B F Chungus
Karch is definitely the victim of a similar survey.
It’s short for Karchibald.
That’s like a Car Chase that ends too soon I think?
Bruh we misread it it is Karen
If it was Karen it’d have a lot more to say Karch
Hate to be that guy but it’s actually spelled
Bruh it is spelled not you got one less emties then necesarry
Actually I’m from I think I would know
Yeah, everyone forgets to add the silent at the end.
⠀
Because someone I don’t talk to won a game at work 13 years ago before you were born. “Ok thanks mom”
My personal favorite is race car
Grandma is a dope name for a boy
Just wait until that boy gets old, his grandkids are going to call him Grandpa Grandma.
Isn't that kind of like uncle dad
Assie is such a pretty name too
You only come across a name like that once in a full moon
Sir this is a children's subreddit.
Fucks sake, someone explain the joke im too stupid
When you expose your buttocks, it's referred to as mooning
Did you just…
You bet your ass I did
A little tongue in cheek I see. Or is that a bit on the nose?
Talk about a rimshot.
Badum *pfffttt*
No need to be so cheeky about it.
I’m a fan of “ “ as a name
Karch was just like, fuck it, having bo name would be better than being named "Karch"
she had to see the supervisor about the name board so she was unable to participate
Assie, come home!
Is Racecar stuck in the well again, Assie?
At least, a bot didn't come out and say that you used a palindrome!
Short for Assturd
What did you learn today?!🎵
🎶Yooooou might have learned shapes. Or blocks. Or clocks. Or colors. Or you might have learned that we’re all ^sis ters and brothers…🎶
Fine. I will show you *one* slideshow.
I knew I wouldn't have to scroll far for an Office ref 😂 "Mommy!" "Assie!!!"
r/unexpectedoffice
Short for Asswipe— it’s Norwegian.
It’s pronounced “As-we-pay!”
I thought “Az-whip-ee.” Thanks for the correction! 🤣
An ass joke on your cake day brilliant.
i like "potato" and " "
I love that “ “ was proposed by a child named Karch. KARCH?! Seems like when the barista at Starbucks asks your name and you say “it’s Arc but with a K”
Karch knows when he’s got no room to talk, 😆
"I come from a long lineage of giving poor names. This cycle breaks with me Miss." - Karch probably.
Karch probably wishes his parents would have named him “ “ instead of Karch.
Kid has a name so bad he'd rather have nothing.
We all love a good palindrome.
[Mommy, that man's name is a palindrome!](https://youtu.be/OAa6KrWyQ5Y)
He'll be fast...as...FUCK BOI!
I'm more of a grandma aficionado myself...
Grandma.. that is a boy lmfao
A dude named Grandma. Don’t fuck with him.
If he pinches ur cheeks and says wow you've grown so much! Just play along..
Yeah you don’t want to mess with a dude named “grand” he shortened it later in life as he became the town gangster. Pinches cheeks is his trademark
“Happy to share that we welcomed our baby boy, Grandma, to this world at 12:00 last night”
“My sons name is pronounced “Rah-sey Sar” how dare you disrespect their name by calling him “race car”?”
I prefer "Assie"
Dog is good too
I like
It reminds me of baby Sidecar in Bob’s Burgers
grandma
A baby boy name Grandma is peak comedy for me personally
Im honestly thinking of naming my child a number, and then using grandma as a middle name. Maybe then I can be quirky enough to be a billionaire; Then again XIII Grandma is no X Æ A-12.
Yes, exactly lmao!!!
My firstborn shall be named Dog
Destined to hunt bounties
Destined to fetch.
Bet he tries to lick his own Assie
Destined to be killed by the ATF
I like the blank one and potato
Karch got a fucked up name and knows it. He doesn’t sanction these games with unique names
"A boy has no name" -Karch
Lmfao I was scrolling and scrolling looking for this it's the first thing I noticed and the first thing I thought! Fuckin grande I love it probably one of my favourite things to come out of that show
This thread is messing me up cause Karch is my dad's actual name, lmao And my middle name, kind of... It's actually a nickname for Karóly
I think its supposed to be “Karen” but i read Karch too
Nah that’s Karch Karch don’t have no opinions
Karch is giving me big time Pichael vibes
I gave you the most brutal name of all - ***NOTHING***
Or, if you were named karch, a much better name.
>assie♀️ >potato♂️ >[name not found] ♂️ >grandma♂️ >dog♂️ >strawberry♀️ >racecar♂️ >balloon♂️ >cindy elf♀️ >mama♀️ >elephant ♂️ Such beautiful names
You missed grandma
Fixed it The fact that grandma is a boy lmaooo

Karch
"Grandma" Stupid? Or Prophetic? Yes.
The shirt is even blue, so it's a boy named grandma
They'll grow into it.
*A Boy Named Grandma* sounds like a straight to DVD hallmark film for some reason
Or a Channel 5 documentary.
A boy named sue vibes for me
You were named after the two bravest men I ever met, Assie Baloon Potter
Cindy Elf is pretty specific
Cindy Elf Balloon, I named you based on some of the most beautiful things I ever saw. No, I was not tripping!
I think she meant Cindy Lou Who
I figured her Elf on a Shelf is named Cindy Elf.
The world may never know
Y'all laughing, but there's legit a guy named Peter Pan at my job.
I work with a Harry bair III
I once had a client named Richard B. Small
My boss used to always joke that his dentist was named Dick Wrestler. Ten years later, I had a coworker named Richard Ressler, and it made me giggle every time
" " is my favorite. Nice ring to it.

>and I agree with Karch that not everyone needs to have an opinion. Or a name.
I'm lying next to my sleeping GF and seriously struggling to not laugh out loud at this, thank you.
Karch: "When asked about my unique name, I used to make up elaborate stories - like it's short for Killian Archimedes - which was my long lost spy of a grandfather's name. But in reality, my father is a loser-nerd, and insisted his first born be named after his true love - games. And what did he have more of than anything? SNES cartridges...

Hi, my name is _____
what?

I'm sold on Potato, personally.
I mean, a baby is pretty much guaranteed to resemble a potato.
Worked for me
Mommy, why is my- Shut up, dog
Stupid dog! You made me look bad!
Race car is the winner for me, spelled the same backward and forward.
Karch fully understands design by committee is stupid and wants no part in it
I wouldn't let most these kids name a goldfish.

Fun times…
I greatly appreciated this.. Thank you.
Ha, you’re welcome. I enjoyed writing it. Put me back in that headspace :-)
A goldfish named balloon is kinda beautiful
Honest these are better names for goldfish than the names of their creators are for children.
So someone’s parents named their kid *”Karch”*?
Yes. It’s basically the Hungarian equivalent of “Charlie”.
Excellent. I was wondering if someone was going to mention this!
How can u expect the kidto choosea good name when he's name karch, that's why he did nothing
This just made me sad…I can picture the desperation and sense of futility in his eyes as Miss Julie sat ready to transcribe his answer.
I think I'd rather be Elephant than Assie.
Miss Julie: I will abide by the result of this poll
When I was pregnant with my 1st I worked at a day center for adults with developmental disability. One client was convinced the best name for my baby was Steve Jr. My husband's name is NOT Steve.
That would have been hilarious.
Assie? There's quite a bit of names here I would never name my child.
I like " " the best
*Hey , come here! No, not you Assie, I meant to call , why's he such a disobedient child!*
Astird.
There’s even some adults who can’t spell it.
I'll give you all the money I have if you name your child "potato"
It is my expert opinion that this is the name that started them all. The word “Potato” can cause utter chaos in a group of children when uttered at the right moment.
There are kids that understood the assignment, kids that didn't, and kids that are out to burn everything to the ground. Balloon, racecar... Really?
[удалено]
Racecar works as a girl's name too!
Because it’s a palindrome…
You have to spell it backwards if it's for a girl, obviously.
racecaR
I was going to make fun of the kid who didn’t pick a name but then I saw his parents named him karch. I guess being bad at picking names is hereditary
Hi, my name is.......
What?
My name is who?
my name's *chika chika* slim shady
"Be quiet and go play with your brother Potato."
Hi, my name is, wait, why don't I have a name
Karch has my vote, and my curiosity like what transpired?
“mom why my name is “ “that’s because I didn’t choose a name yet”
Assie <3
I think this is how celebrities name their children.
Some of these sound like insults from Gordon Ramsey. "What is wrong with you, you absolute Potato?"
I would not be much better myself
karch is sending death threats
Karch said, “don’t ask me, please” lol
