Yesterday KatieG put up a post about this site which will generate a Brazilian soccer name from an ordinary name. I put in about a dozen names, mostly athletes, and got back some goofy names. For example, Kenyon Martin is Claudio Kenyisco.
Later I went back and played some more, this time with the names of local officials. Here's our city council World Cup team:
Laketildo
Chrildo
Tarbincha
Monzinhosa
Lesliildo
Crowlinho
Cranla
Thomisco
Jinho Da Costa
Oh, wait... that's only 9. Let's round it out with the mayor, Malliano, and 2nd district Congresswoman, Schma.
wow. you really must have had a slow day playing with discarded foreskin. (or did you discard that job already?)
ReplyDeleteactually - all the lawyers on my floor have their brazilian names taped to their computer/bulletin board/door/whatever. so we have lots of time too, apparently. :)
It probably seems like I spent more time than I actually did. I just entered the first dozen or so athletes that popped into my head, so that was quick. And then later at night I had the city council idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's never a slow day when there are foreskins to be dealt with...
