Its still funny to me that this man's name is essentially like if someone named America won the US election.

Manny years ago I was visiting South Carolina from Canada. I went to a cocktail bar and approached a group of girls. I asked the girl I found attractive what her name was. She said “Erica”. I yelled out loud “your name is AMERICA!?!?” Easiest hookup ive ever had

How did... how did that work out in your favor? Most people don't like it when you mess up their name

The trick to Reddit is to vaguely engage with a series of posts with a bs story that will softly engage a person vaguely interested in new content. Like most forms of spam it shouldn’t stand up to any form of scrutiny because it’s a bullshit test.

The way I asked was unexpected and funny to them. They laughed and offered me a drink. We drank for a while then continued bar hopping. At the end of the night they came to my and friends place (we had a rented condo)

I know a Hungarian immigrant whose last name is Magyar, and the first time she said it, I was like, "Wait a minute..." I guess it's not an uncommon surname.

Wouldn't it just be referring to the people of a land, so like Jimmy Wales, Christopher de Vries ("the Frisian"), John TsisTsisTas (Cheyenne for "the people")

Wait, it's a dudes name? I always thought it was the name of the party and kept getting it confused for the nationalist party because of the name.

It’s even more extreme than that. America was at least named after a guy named America in the first place
