Rob = Bob
James = Jimmy

there's a lumber company called "Dicks Lumber" or something like that.

LOL we have the same name, spelt the same way too some people spell it nicolas

because Wang is their last name and they don't know that Wang means dick in North America.

why don't you call up Randy Johnson's parents and ask them why they named their kid that, and they are fucking white people. shouldn't they know better

There was a Chinese girl who recently immigrated here at a young age. She chose to name herself "Clitoris" without fully knowing what it was.

When she told her teacher of her choice, the teacher stared at her and told her to back to the drawing board lol

I think the filipino names like Cherry Pie, Girl, and Princess are weirder. Like wtf who names their kid "Girl" (legit person my mom knows).
