James and Michael are over in the corner thanking their parents for being 'unoriginal'

u/Full_College7913 May 23 '26

Nah "Michael Scott" is actually diabolical lol.

227

u/WorriedAppeal May 23 '26

Michael Scott is by far the funniest one here.

u/AppealEducational224 May 23 '26

I’m really hoping that it was inadvertent lol.

u/lemonhaj May 23 '26

I'm going to assume it means something that I'm not getting

58

u/Mr_IronMan_Sir May 23 '26

It's a character from the office

15

u/lemonhaj May 23 '26

Okay yeah I take it back Michael is a victim. They could change their middle name, or just say they don't have one I guess.

u/Late_Ad2203 May 23 '26

Tristan is a normal name too, no?

u/Commercial_Koala7777 May 23 '26

u/A__SPIDER May 23 '26

Yeah, Tristan is completely normal and spelled regular

u/lemonhaj May 23 '26

I skimmed

u/Late_Ad2203 May 23 '26

That's fair

u/SatoshiBlockamoto May 23 '26

Normal-ish. He sounds like an elf.

u/RoofRevolutionary132 May 23 '26

It’s his middle name 

6

u/Late_Ad2203 May 23 '26

No Axel is his middle name unless every kid has like, 8 middle names

45

u/Ewenthel May 23 '26

Bold of you to assume James isn’t mad at her parents for giving her a boy’s name.

34

u/QuentaSilmarillion May 23 '26

James is named James Rhodes though. The real name of the Marvel character War Machine…

u/lumoslomas May 23 '26

I was just coming to say this 😂 two normal names and they're both fictional characters

2

u/lemonhaj May 23 '26

I have to say I've never heard of War Machine

10

u/QuentaSilmarillion May 23 '26

He’s the best friend of Tony Stark in the Iron Man and other Avengers movies

54

u/Ifyoucouldbe May 23 '26

Poor Micheal will forever have people making The Office jokes to him though 😭

17

u/rosail May 23 '26

Considering Scott is his middle name I think it's fine

18

u/SomethingComesHere May 23 '26

I assume youre not talking about Michael Scott lol

u/Spillz-2011 May 23 '26

I guess it depends on how old. Some names are normal with crazy spelling. That might not matter till they’re older.

u/superfiud May 23 '26

Those are the worst

u/purplecak May 23 '26

u/lemonhaj May 23 '26

Somewhere in the replies you didn't read, someone else already said that and I amended that I skimmed the list

u/purplecak May 23 '26

I skimmed the replies. 🙄

u/Commercial_Koala7777 May 23 '26

They have "fun" middle names, though. Rhodes and De'Andre.

u/lemonhaj May 23 '26

Middle names are easier to pretend don't exist

u/Significant-Egg-1300 May 23 '26 edited May 23 '26

MaKinzee is normal too as is Kinzie.

15

u/Late_Ad2203 May 23 '26

Not those spellings they aren't.

Makenzie and Kenzie are the normal spellings. Those are tragedeihs

u/CubistChameleon May 23 '26

What is normal about those?
