Would you name your child after Guybrush

Guybrush91789 · 09-15-2003, 03:16 AM

When ye grow would ye name yer child after Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate

Bushmeister · 09-16-2003, 03:47 PM

In a word ... no.

ptdc · 09-16-2003, 04:11 PM

What about Bobbin?

Gabez · 09-16-2003, 04:34 PM

Dear God, no.

Reminds me of a comic strip I read once about naming children Sam & Max though.

scabb · 09-16-2003, 05:16 PM

Heh, If you run a google image search for "Sam & Max", you should find a few pictures of cats wrestling. A word of warning, though - when investigating Sam and Max pictures on google, keep SafeSearch switched "on".

TyraaRane · 09-17-2003, 12:49 AM

Look...I may be a fangirl, but I have my limits.

(In other words, no.)

***MrManager*** · 09-17-2003, 01:28 AM

Maybe if I wanted the kid to be beaten up on a daily basis...

Ernil · 09-17-2003, 02:38 AM

I plan on calling my first dog "Guybrush." It's going to be a Bloodhound.

Not a kid.

Or maybe...

Mentat88 · 09-17-2003, 06:16 AM

no way!

My cat's called Manny tho

Joshi · 09-17-2003, 07:36 AM

No, although Guy Wood sounds promising.

I went to the trouble of switching it off, and I'm totally disappointed with the results. Damn you.

ptdc · 09-17-2003, 04:16 PM

Me too, but are you sure those cats are wrestling?

Obviously didn't dig deep enough, then ;

Orca Wail · 09-18-2003, 11:06 PM

maybe naming him Guybrush will give him "charater"
Did anyone ever hear the song "A Boy Named Sue"?

(from the part where Sue finds his estranged father in a bar)

"MY NAME IS SUE!!!!
HOW DO YOU DO?!
NOW YOU GONNA DIE!"

Guybrush91789 · 09-26-2003, 03:58 AM

yeah some people actually voted Aye

Anomonous Guy · 09-27-2003, 03:21 PM

hehe then he wud be called guybrush Greenwood
almost the same name

Herman Toothdecay · 09-27-2003, 05:47 PM

Maybe a middle name, so maybe name a son "Dorkus Guybrush Pimplemeister". Nothing to be ashamed of in a middle name, right

?

Note: my last name isn't Pimplemeister lol

ptdc · 09-27-2003, 10:59 PM

All middle names are a source of embarrasment even if they're perfectly normal.

Ernil · 09-28-2003, 02:44 AM

Perfectly normal? HA. Not mine. It's surely to be ashamed of.

Ok...it's John. That's not TERRIBLEY bad.

Krazy · 09-28-2003, 11:05 AM

Oh yeah sure and lets name our daughters Elaine

Well, you've got to admit, that's a little saner than naming a son Guybrush. And you could always lie and say that it has nothing to do with Monkey Island, because Elaine is actually a normal name and all.

And yeah, middle names are always embarrassing, particuarly mine. Patricia, eeesh, that's not only embarrassing it's stupid. And I'm sure that Guybrush is regularly embarrassed by the whole "Ulysses" thing, too.

Das Mole · 09-28-2003, 10:25 PM

i wouldn't name my kid guybrush...especially if it was a girl...

Quote:

well, i wouldn't have a problem with that...because it would remind me of elaine from seinfeld

---------------------
elaine: (to saleswoman in expensive store) "uhh...excuse me...i was wondering where you got that mannequin in your window?"

saleswoman: (sounds snotty and has a very european accent, like norwegian or swedish or something) "i don't know."

elaine: "what do you mean you don't know?"

saleswoman: "i don't know."

elaine: "well can't you find out?"

saleswoman: "why do you care?"

elaine: "well, isn't it obvious? this mannequin looks exactly like me!"

saleswoman: "oh please. that mannequin is wearing a twelve-hundred dollar gaultier dress."

elaine: "oh. so what, are you saying i'm not good enough for your cheap little dress? listen...natasha... i wouldn't be caught dead wearing your crummy little euro-trash!"

that "listen...natasha..." part always cracks me up.

i mean, you probably have to watch the episode to get it, but it's hilarious if you've seen it.

AshleyJo · 10-03-2003, 01:24 AM

... My middle name is Natasha. Er, one of my middle names. I have a lot of them.

So's mine. In a very...Johnish way...

Bushmeister · 10-03-2003, 05:59 PM

Middle names aren't all bad, mine is Frederick, and I so happen to be quite proud of it.

Fred · 10-03-2003, 07:51 PM

As you should be Bushmeister. All the best people are called it.

As for naming my son Guybrush...

...

Do I have to dignify that with a response?

zesja · 10-05-2003, 11:26 AM

Nope sorry wouldnt do it, maybee ok for a pet animal but not a person.

naming your son Guybrush and your daughter Elaine is asking for some serious incest-related turbulence....

Get tha rifle Cleytus, we's is a-movin' ta Texas!

I think Bobbin would work better than guybrush...

uh... NO haha

ptdc · 10-06-2003, 07:03 AM

Well I'd name a child Bobbin.

And that's why I'm never going to have any children. Well... not the only reason

Glottis512 · 10-11-2003, 08:45 PM

For every year a child was named 'Bobbin' he would need 10 years in therapy. If a kid was called Guybrush he would get beat up. Its actually a good name, but kids these days don't play these old classics.

Yufster · 10-12-2003, 12:09 AM

What sort of moron would call a child GUYBRUSH??

I'm gonna call my kid "Squall Leonhart".

Or maybe "Cloud Strife".

No, wait. I have a better idea. Ima call it... "Timothy Schafer" or "Bill Gates". Only probably with Bill Gates, is that it might accidently find that love song I wrote, and get the wrong idea. Eeughchkk.

No, seriously. I'm not gonna have any kids. It wouldn't be fair on humankind in general.

ptdc · 10-12-2003, 12:53 AM

I think it would be far kinder on humanity and the world if everybody stopped having children, but that's another story... an amazingly off topic story.

I think some better names would be Edmund for a boy or Bernard for a girl

Guybrush91789 · 10-12-2003, 05:22 AM

Wouldn't you have legal trouble if you named someone Guybrush.

Didn't they trademark that name

Bushmeister · 10-12-2003, 07:43 AM

lol, well its not like anyone put a (tm) on "Guybrush" on a birth certificate. But I wouldn't be shocked if you had LucasArts lawyers crashing down the doors of a one-year old baby's house to tell it that it was going to be sued.

Glottis512 · 10-12-2003, 09:38 AM

Well, you never know. Lawyers are unscrupulous.
They'd probably get him tried as an adult.

Yufster · 10-12-2003, 10:06 AM

Oh my goodness, that would be hilarious. It's almost worthy of a game of its own. Guybrush gets sued because his name is copyright. Oh my god, it's like passing the bad luck down the generations. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha! I really like that Idea. It's worthy of a MAGs game.

Glottis512 · 10-12-2003, 10:22 AM

Damn Straight!
"No court in the world gonna convict a BABY...........................Maybe Texas."

sfy · 06-18-2011, 03:41 AM

Good news everyone! I've just named my son Guybrush! Not as his spoken name though, but as middle name. He's going to be a mighty pirate!
