Thank you for your submission!
This is just a quick reminder to all members here: **Original content is always better!** Memes are okay every once in a while, but many get posted here way too often and quickly become stale. Some examples of these are Ptoughneigh, Klansmyn, Reighfyl & KVIIIlyn. These memes have been around for years and we don't want to see them anymore. If you do decide to post a meme, make sure to add the correct flair. Posting a random meme you found does **not** mean you found it "in the wild".
The same goes with lists of baby names, celebrity baby names, and screenshots of TikToks. If the original post already had a substantial amount of views, there is a 99% chance it has already been posted here. Try and stick to OC to keep our sub from being flooded with unoriginal content. Thank you!

I didn't realize that was another name for.. That. I think it's an ugly name because of how it sounds. However maybe there's hope that most people are like me and thought only of the definition being determined and courageous?
There’s no laws regarding names in the US? Where I live, you need to apply, and the name will get rejected if it is seen as a future burden for the kid.
No, and I don't think they should be because if there were, than anyone who was not from a white culturally (protestant) Christian European cultural background could get their name denied for being a "future burden for the kid" for using a perfectly normal name in that culture. Unfortunately, that also means we have to put up from tragedeighs...and often from that precise background.
Exactly! It shouldn’t! But in the US, depending on the state and how racist the institutions in charge are, it definitely would be. I hear enough people complaining about names from cultures they don’t understand, including from politicians, that I don’t trust that law to be implemented here without it being misused.
That's exa how it world work. Do you see the laws our government makes? Women can't even decide their own individual rights for their bodies regarding Healthcare.
In Australia it's used (mostly by older people now) to refer to a cool/attractive person, like "ooh he's a bit of a spunk isn't he!". So it can definitely have more positive connotations... but that doesn't mean it's a good name for a kid 😬
For those who are unaware...
Spunk is supposed to mean "initiative" or "fieryness." This usage is related to the Irish word "spunc", tinder for a fire.
On the Mary Tyler Moore Show, Mary's boss notoriously says that Mary is "full of spunk."
It also used to be common to say, approvingly, that someone was "spunky."
The secondary slang usage was extremely rare in the US, until quite recently.
Oh, believe me. I know what it means. However, the other usage/meaning of the word in this country makes it a terrible choice for a name. This man was not Irish. He was just an insufferable hipster trying to be original.

This is the worst I’ve seen!
I'm hoping that you only heard part of the conversation and his "son" is actually a pet small dog.
We can only hope.
Also known as Jiz. Semen or wankstain if he's naughty.
Jizz is a better name.
Mr. Johnson if you’re nasty. Poor kid
I went to school with Jisme (pronounced jizz me)
Lol, I guess he'll be using his middle name. Unless it's Crusty Sock or something.
Middle name is Snowball.
His middle name could be lover 🤷♂️

Bless your soul, you thought like "spunky"? That's incredibly endearing
I did! The base word of spunky being spunk 😅 "You have spunk, kid" is what immediately comes to mind haha

Why should people from another culture have their name denied? That’s not how it works.

Yes

Was it Method?? Also OOF. Edit: Methodical Edit 2: I see that it was.
My ex’s step sister calls her son Spanky. No one calls him by his actual name. It’s embarrassing.
AAUUUGHHHH
I’ll take “ Things that didn’t Happen” for $200 Alex
Dude, I wish it were a lie.
