Episode 2: Street Names

The LeBronNames podcast featuring Sherry? Yes, just Sherry. Cool. I mean, I have brother. Hey guys, thanks for that. Based off your feedback, we're theming each episode now, so the theme is something that I will know and all 10 names are related to the theme, but Sherry will not know and she'll try and guess. Yeah. So if you guys want to play along, just call in, otherwise if you have a theme to suggest just email us at the LeBronNames [email protected] Or on the Twitter page. Or on the Twitter page. I think the pages at the LeBronNames, all right, so we're going to move swiftly onto the first name, Cody, C-O-D-Y. Um, Cody Simpson is the only person I can think of. He's just like, he looks like a Cody, like I feel like it's a very like, I know Cody Simpson's Australian, but it reminds me of a beach surfer, but like an American beach surfer. It definitely reminds me of an American name. I think it sounds like a dog name. It does sound like a dog name. Right. It's like, Cody, come here. Come here, my little Cody, but like as a human, like, especially because it's a male name, like I can see it for like a toddler before like a full grown man and like. But the way you describe Cody, sounds like the human version of a dog, like a surfer dude. Yeah. You can imagine Cody's stickies head out of a car, but it's like, yeah, like letting the wind blow in his hair. Oh, I think we had a, our Indonesian teacher was called Miss Cody, but yeah, again, last name. Yeah. Anyway, she didn't really remind me of a dog, but that was because her name wasn't Cody Cody. So next name. Yeah. Color. Color. Yep. Not Carlos, but color. Color. Yep. I don't know. Reminds me of someone with like a very sleek mustache. Me too. Me too. Me too. Yeah. Someone who like grooms their mustache every morning and oils it and like make sure it's in a nice, like, um, pringles for that. Yeah. Well, I guess I actually quite like the name color. That was a Madrid manager called color actual and he won a decimal for Madrid. Um, but he also, like, he doesn't have a mustache, but you can definitely imagine him being someone who would groom his mustache if he had one. Yeah. On the Wikipedia page, it actually brings up Colin for New South Wales. I think of Monte Carlo. And I think of the, like, the biscuit that Anna does. Oh, yeah. I think Monte Carlo is a much nicer place than Colin for New South Wales, though. Yeah. But yeah, color is a yes for me, actually. I would call someone color. Oh, this is not on track, but like kind of different. I met someone who's called cotton today. Cotton. That was an eye, like C-A-R-T-I-N, and I'm just like, it's a female. I just wasn't sure, like- I wasn't sure. It was a female. I'm just, like, why, like, cotton, like an egg cotton. I just really struggled with Monte Carlo. And it's, like, she drives a car made out of tin rather than, like, steel, as it is. She's pretty young. I think she's like, you're 10, but cotton seems to fit her? No. She was definitely Asian, right? Yeah. Yeah. I just, she looks like a Jessica, or something. Not cotton. I was like, wait, how do you spell that? She was like, cotton. Oh, it's her. So, yeah. I am. And I was just like, cotton. Yeah. That's unfortunate. Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe she was like the 12th kid. Maybe. Yeah. Her mum was waiting outside the entire time. So I don't think so. You have 12 kids. You wouldn't wait outside for a kid's shift. Like a work shift. Yeah. Probably not. All right. So, Carlo, yes, cotton. I think it was that conclusion. I don't really like Carlo, but it's okay. All right. Better than cotton. Buffy. B-U-F-F-Y. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It is not. Good guess, though, based on the name Buffy. Buffy is a bad name. It's also a name you would give an animal. It's definitely a name. Maybe like a bird. I was thinking of Buffy. Oh, yeah. Buffy it works. Yeah. Buffy the Buffy. But I can think of like, like a cockatoo would suit the name Buffy. Do you remember? Like, it's like, it gets so squawky and like, it's Cresco's, aren't you? Buffy. Yeah. That always happens to me, and I never have the right name, so Buffy does work. Yeah. Yeah. I think the problem is that it's a very famous TV show. And also, it's Buff, like, no one needs to ask in the name. That's true. No one needs to ask in the name. Like, yeah. Followed by, like, from a bee, like, just not. I never knew it was a platform of the name Elizabeth. Oh. What? No. Is other pet names of something? They're not pet names of something, but, again, a guess, not a good guess, but a guess. So Buffy is a no from both of us. It's a no from both of us. Yeah. Next name, Jim. J-I-M. Jim. I know people called Jim, and generally, I don't like the name. Yeah, it definitely reminds me of a Jim and me. I like the fact that Jim is the nickname of Yelconum's Cyclometon, and it's, like, not even close to the name. It's like the longest name, and it's like, oh, I'll just call you Jim. Yeah. But Yelconum's a klometon deserve to be named Jim, don't he? No, he didn't. Oh, there's no name. Oh, there's no name. Jim and Jim. Like, isn't Jimmy already a nickname for James? And then, like, Jim's, like, another nickname. Okay, it was like a nickname of a nickname. I just think it's too far. I feel like Jim doesn't deserve a nickname. Is there something to do with the office? Isn't there a Jim in the office? There is a Jim in the office. There is not a Jim in this scenario. No, there is a Jim in this scenario, but it's not the office. Okay. Yeah. But, yeah. Jim is, it's too short, I think, the name, actually. Right. Yeah, don't like it. Agreed. Buddy. A dog name again. Are they all a dog name? No, Jim, you wouldn't call a dog Jim. I'm not calling a dog Jim. Jim, come here. Sit. Put on a tie. That's probably what, like, people married to Jim would say, though. No. Jim? No. I don't know. Jim's. Jim's. It's so uninteresting as a name. Yeah. Like, it could be attached to anything. Yeah, it's just. It's just a nothing name. Yeah. Buddy, though. Buddy is a different name, but it's. I just think that it's a word, and I don't think that you should name people or words. It's like, it really get very confusing if people are like, "Oh, buddy, come over here." But they're like, just talking to their friend. I hate it when people call me, buddy. It feels demeaning. It's like, "Hey, buddy. Can you do this for me?" It's like, "No. No. I'm not your buddy." Exactly. But that's your name. Yeah. How much less is that? Well, that's probably why Buddy turned into syndrome in the Incredibles. Like, just being called Buddy every day, just has to know when you're looking for things. Oh, the names of villains. No, but Buddy is the name of the villain in the Incredibles. Yeah. Plus like this. Yeah. So, his name was Buddy Pine, to clarify. That's unfortunate. That's unfortunate. I don't like the name Buddy. No, I mean, he loves it. It's very American, actually. It is. And I don't really like American names. Yeah. They're just like a bit like too, um, obnoxious. They force? They force? Yeah, they force an emotion on you. Like, Buddy. Yeah. It's like Trent. I hate the name Trent. It's not. It's Trent. It's not. Like, it's such an American name. It is an American name. Even though my favorite Trent is not American. I know, but as in like, it's no one normally calls a child Trent. Yeah. That's a very American name, but that's not the thing either. Next name is Bob, B-O-B. Bob. Bob. Bob. Sagitt. Not Bob Sagitt. Bob. Um. What else? It's the very like, standard name that no one actually has. It's like a name that like people use as examples that no one actually has the name. Well, did you know in 1960, nearly 3,000 babies were called Bob, compared to less than 50 in 2000? I just have a problem because it's like, like a nickname, but it's not actually like a short one. Like, no one's called Bob it. That's you. What about Bob? Bobbi. Bobbi is a thing. Yeah, I really don't like Bobbi because Bobbi pins like now it's like not good. Yeah, true. I don't like the name Bob. Again, too short, like at least have four letters in your name. It's, what do you think about like the rapper/whatever he is, B-O-B? I don't know. I don't like rappers who break their names up, like B-O-B or will I, like, come on, just call you some Bob. Oh, I'm Jay-Z. Jay-Z. Yeah. Just go by what you want. I'm Jay-Z. I do like Jay-Z. But that's because Jay-Z isn't a name. Jay-Z. Yes. Yes. If you want to be pedantic about it. It's a very baseball name and you can tell because it's American, it's an American name as well. You don't think so? I don't like American names. I think Robert is like following like for like a seven-year-old man. But like Bob is just like, it's just lazy. That's what it is. It is lazy. It's just lazy. Like, you couldn't even go for a third letter. Like, you're right. No. Like a B and O. Oh. And you just go back to B again. It's like, oh, I've had enough of this, back to B. Yeah. Terrible enough. Yeah. Yeah. Not good. No. It's not. I'm disappointed. All right. Billy. No. No. Not. Why? I think I'm a Billy can. What's a Billy can? Is it a watering can? Is it? Yeah. Oh, you mean the thing like people take on camping trips and stuff? Yeah. Oh, no. It's like a-- That's just sort of Billy, I think. Oh. Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. Um, it's a mulching the tilde. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's just a Billy, but-- And it looks like I like it. It's the back. It's like the end of an insult. Like silly Billy. They're literally going to be bullied for their entire life. And it's not even going to be that hard to think of as well. Yeah. Like your parents would call you silly Billy. Yeah, like parents use it as like non-swear word way of like getting crossed with their children. Yeah. It's like silly jib. That's a knife from me. And you-- It's also very American. It is so bad. Why is it that American name is so bad? Maybe the theme is American names. I've already told you it's not American names. But yeah, they are on the whole quite bad name so far. Oh, it was a kid. Oh, it was a kid. It's also like a nickname for William. But no one's called Billion. Again, like-- Yeah. It's just-- Yeah. I think you got like nicknames so that you can't extend back. No. Yeah. Like I don't like nicknames that I can't trace either. Like, for example, like Dick and Richard. Like, you can't-- no one's called Dickens. It's just like-- It's just like what? Yeah. That's true. And if you are called Billion or Dickens, then that's just rough. So-- Man, I understand why you could buy your nicknames. Then, yeah, you should go buy your nicknames if you are billion. Yeah. That's-- That's my bond. Well, that's just sad. Silly Billies are out. Oh, Mander. You've never had that name before. No, I haven't. I think of Amadillos. Yeah. That's fair. Like-- Yeah. There's nothing else to it. Amadillos. You're definitely not going to like the fact that it's a variant of the name. No. I don't like it. Oh, no. How? Where did they even get any of the letters? They really have to-- And, yeah. Or the man. The man. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Is it German? No. It's-- I think it's Spanish probably. No. Yeah. I-- No. Yeah. I don't think you know anything about that. You're quite heaven. That's unfortunate enough. But don't go about Amando. And then-- I was just going to think you're an Alvedillo. Like, it's just not going to work out. Do you recognize any of these names? I think you would recognize one of them. The one that doesn't go by Amando anymore. Oh, Pitbull. Yeah. Pitbull's name was like-- Are these little names on rappers? No. Not to my knowledge, at least. But, yeah. Pitbull's name is Armando Christian Perez. Probably he probably wanted to call himself Amadillo. But they were like, no, no, no, no. It's too Christian actually. Yeah. So they were like, oh. They're next animal. Next animal. Next animal. Also, he's a hunchback. But, like, not too much. It's also going to be a bit boldy. Yeah. Yeah. He does a pretty bold. Yeah. And Pitbull's pretty bold. Yeah. Pitbull does look like an amandar. Now that you say it. Yeah. Alvedillo. He looks like an Amadillo. Yeah. He's bold, right? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Even though, like, we had cheek thing going on. Do you think it'd be more successful or less successful if he called himself Armadillo? Less. Less successful. It's harder to say Armadillo. Pitbull is like, easy. Yeah. But he doesn't even go by people. Doesn't he go by Mr. Worldwide? No. I think he does. He's Mr. Worldwide. Pitbull. Alright. Next name. Angela. It's a normal name. This is a fast normal name we've got in. So it's not American, finally. No. No. No. But, yeah. What do you think about Angela? It's fine. I mean, it's, like, angel. Like, it's. It's just, like, very common name. I thought you didn't like names that added an A at the end, like, angel. And Angela. Yeah, but I feel like calling yourself angel is a bit. It's a bit much. It's a bit much. It's just like, oh, my child's an angel. It's like, oh, really? They don't hold on. Like, it's like, your child is an absolute, like, piece of crap. Right now, it's crying. It's had an awful lot. Yeah. I'm not going to call it an angel. There was a football. There is a football player called Ankel D. Maria. But he goes out and hell. Not angel. I think ankel is like an angel. Ankel. But then that's, like, ankel. And then it's like, I don't want to call someone, like, a foot. Yeah, true. Angel. I don't like the fact that it's not angel law. I prefer angel law than angel law. I like angel law. I like it farther away from his origin. Ah. Because. Because adding something on, you prefer it not to be directly angel law. Right? Yeah. Because if it's angel law, it'd just be, like, just call them angel. Yeah. Right. You can definitely imagine someone who is annoying, who goes by angel law, though. Like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, no. I'm angel law. You pronounce this A. Yeah. But it's ranked in the top 300 most popular names since 1900. That's pretty impressive. Do you know what I like Angelina better than Angel law? Well, Angelina was the 16th dance most popular name in 2008. I like Angelina because it, like, sounds prettier. Angelina kind of just stops. But Angelina's got, like, a flow to it. And also Angelina the ballerina. Who doesn't know Angelina the ballerina? I don't know what that is. What is the mouse who's a ballerina? What is that angel law, the ballerina? The lamb drilla. No! See, it doesn't have it. You even stumbled upon it. Yeah, because I've never heard of Angelina the ballerina. Yeah, but see, you didn't stumble on that. Mm, perfect. Angel the bandrall? No. Okay. Alan, final name. You still haven't gotten the theme. Plan, Alan, Alan. You know the, I don't know, it's still like creature. I was like, Alan, Alan, Alan. Oh no, his name was like. I'm so confused. What are you talking about? You're just like, Alan. Alan, is we, not literally you reading the name over and over again. No, it's the mouse chipmunk thing. I mean, he's like, it's like a double oval. Oh, it's hilarious. It's like a double oval. This animal just looking around and like, he opens his mouth and this guy, the voices are of Alan. Alan. Alan. And like, he just keeps asking for Alan. And then he was like, oh wait, that's the Alan. It's like Steve. Steve, Steve, Steve. It's so good. It's like one of my favorite videos. And then they do all these like all the animals. It's hilarious. Right. Well, but besides. Besides Alan, the chipmunk mouse. No. Do you have any other considerations about Alan? It's an old man name, like a middle-aged old man, like a 65. No, 67-year-old man. Do you have a favorite Alan? Yeah, Uncle Alan. Uncle Alan. Oh, about Alan Rickman? I don't know Alan Rickman. Oh, yeah. He wouldn't. He died. Oh, yeah, he did. He looked like that. He was pretty good at snake, though. He doesn't look like an Alan, actually. No. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. Yeah. Definitely. Yeah. And he's the only person I can imagine as a severer. That is, like, a little bit wider in there, like, good. Fatal. You think an Alan deserves to be fatal? No, just plump. Not fat. Plump. There's a difference. Yeah. And I think he needs to be only ever so slightly bolding. But, like, I did, like, a receive, yeah. I'm sort of bolding. Yeah. What do you think about Alan Greenstein as an Alan? He looks very much like an Alan. Yeah, he does, but he's not plump enough. Yeah, but he. Even his job description, he was the chair of the Federal Reserve. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's a hundred percent. I don't really know. It's an accountant. It's also an accountant name. It's definitely an accountant name. Yes. So, if you want your kid to grow up, a bit plump. Pretty happy in life. But. With a receding haline. Bit of a receding haline. But ultimately, pretty happy, right? Yeah. Alan's a typically pretty happy. Yeah, no, they are. Yeah. They're simple guys. Simple guys, but happy guys. Happy guys, yes. Yeah. So, I think you might get made fun of because of some chipmunk. But otherwise, Alan is a straightforward way for success. So, I think the names today have gotten progressively better. I also like his, it's like, back was funnala. And I like the name Nala. You like the name Nala? Yeah. Well, that's normally. So, do you have any guesses for what the topic is? Actors. Actors. Not really. It's a very specific topic. Actors, who are from America? If you have stayed with us so far, I bet you're dying to know what it is. Yeah. It's the list of human sesame street characters. Oh. What? Yeah. So, these are characters who are played by humans and act all the humans on Sesame Street. Oh. I like that. Yeah. So, it's really cute. Yeah. But, like, why are the names so bad? Like. Well, maybe because living on Sesame Street, like, it's not a normal street to live on. But maybe because it's filmed in America. That's why it's all these American names. That's probably more accurate. These guys have been Alan's and Armando's for ages. Right. Yeah. The guy was. Wait, so the actual actors? No, the characters. Oh, the characters. The character names are Alan, Angela, Armando, Billy Tuesday, which is very bad. No, that's not good. Bob Johnson, which is also terrible. Buddy and Jim, who are two bumblers. Buffy. They do sound like bumblers. That's true. Carlo, who was a teenager who worked at Hooper's store as we can clearly remember between 1993 and 1998. Wasn't born. Yeah, and Selena. Also in 1993 and 1998. There are other ones. Oh, and Cody, who was the infant son of Buffy. I don't remember any of this in Sesame Street. And I watched that religiously when I was growing up. He actually did. Yeah, send us a quick email or a long email for the next topic. And we'll see you shortly. Yeah, goodbye. Bye. Hope you like the theme song.
