Brogan or O'Brogan, is a surname originating in Ireland, anglicized from the original Ó Brógáin. The form McBrogan, is also present sharing the meaning of O'Brogan, essentially "son of Brogan." The name can be traced back to Saint Brogan, Saint Patrick's nephew and scribe, and has many original meanings, including sorrowful, sharp faced, sturdy and strong.
Traditionally, Brogan has also been used as a first name for boys, after the Saint, though it is a name for girls too. It means controlling, kind, helpful and honest. It may also be linked to 'bróg', the Irish word for shoe or boot, hence the reference to modern work shoes and boots as brogues. It is also common for someone with a heavy Irish, or Scottish accent to be described as speaking with a 'brogue', which derives from the same word.

Lia is a nice name
but fuck this influx of parents who think giving their kids unique names is good
I mean, giving them a weird name is pretty bad, but then purposefully fucking with the spelling just to make it more unique is so damn stupid.
Like on those parent's child naming sites, one was posted about a year back. All these mothers naming their daughters McKenzie. Like some sort of bizarre group pledge, except they all used different spelling so their daughter was unique. One was, I shit you not, Myckynzy
edit: The nickname "Boot" could be pretty cool

Yeah, I completely agree.
I understand wanting your kid to be unique, but that's teh case then pick a more interesting fucking name.
Making the name "unique" by spelling it wrong is completely asinine.

Also Shevawn or Shivaune (I can't remember) will always haunt me. Probably because a biiig chunk of my family is Irish.
What was the one I heard where it was just a couple of letters of the alphabet, possibly in order, like pronounced Aybeeseedee but not that... that was just awful.

Are we talking about the Polish?
I still don't know if my grandfather is Polish or Ukrainian. He is one of the other.
It is because his village was inside one of the country's borders but it was part of the other ethnic group or something. I think he speaks both languages.
He was trying to get a war pension from the Germans for time he did in a labour camp during WWII. But he didn't want to give those sneaky Germans any of his personal details. Needless to say, progress towards that goal is most difficult.
He is a cool enough dude, just really old and a bit loopy from what happened during his life I guess.

I reckon old people have a free pass or two to act loopy over things
given the things they've seen and/or done in the past
Yeah exactly, dude is crazy though.
A couple of years back just after we helped move him and my grandmother back down to Victoria from Queensland he wanted to get on the roof of his house. He is probably almost 90 now.
No one would lend him a long enough ladder because they didn't want him going up.
He tied two smaller ones together and got on the roof. Safety first kids.

I like my grandfather's name too, come to think of it. There's a few Polish names I like... If I ever have a son he'll probably have a Polish name, though one that will work fairly interchangeably with an English name.

Hmm
Do I want a job in the public service?
On the one hand, it's the kind of job I'm looking for. On the other hand, I hear the public service is where careers go to die.

Well that's a literal translation, not sure about the use of clown in that context.
(cycski)
when someone says "clown hooker"
do you picture a hooker that is a clown
or a regular hooker that caters specifically to clown clientele
only Fishman, Tweaked Bat, jirf, winder, and stimmy owe me accom surveys
this is very good considering that the deadline is more than a month off
thank you dudes for being awesome

Hooker that is a clown.
I think when it comes to making your child unique, the name really is the worst way to do it
something timeless, rolls of the tongue nicely and is cool is much better
Kate, Adam, Matt, Dave, Amy, Jenny, Jessica
they're timeless
I want to give my kid a unique name, but not a stupid unique one; like, a less common name rather than a very common one
Isabelle is my top choice if I have a daughter
Maybe use it as a middle name instead.
his brother was Seraphinus Smitz
Buster Storm
Christopher Rock
and Merlin

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

although it is somewhat redeemed by how funny using a mild ethnic slur as your name is at the ending screen

My full first name is Christopher, which is a nice classic name.
There was a guy on Pimp My Ride whose name was Kristoffer, bolded for syllablic emphasis.
He had cornrows, and was a fucking idiot.
Parents, don't name your kids shit like Maddyssonne, or Travyss.
Look at those dastardly islammys in the game over screen
My last name means Falcon.
I just saw an animated anti-Abbott campaign ad put to the Time Warp with altered lyrics.
I don't really know how to feel about that.
But now I want to watch Rocky Horror again...
My grandfather's was Zbygniew.
No I did not spell that wrong.
Though if I did, you sure as fuck wouldn't be able to tell.
And Polish war stories are generally the most awesome because we were, like, right fucking there. Everyone went through crazy shit.
Nope, I'm not posting it. I'm a paranoid Internet User.

First thought was a hooker dressed as a
clown with those big ass clown boots
And wearing a red nose thing.
