Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name. - Lemmy.World

I’m all for unique and clear identifiers for everything, including people, but jesus christ, imagine yourself in elementary school having a weird name. Why would parents choose a hard mode for their progeny?

Let me introduce you to Marijuana Pepsi:

The kicker is her siblings have normal names.

Now I’m really curious about how people call her in day-to-day life.
That may be one case where a non medical PhD would be justified in just going by Doc

In the fall of 2019, Vandyck sponsored the Marijuana Pepsi Scholarship for first-generation African-American students at UW–Whitewater.

If someone with a brand name… name… starts a same-industry business in their name, or offers a scholarship for nazis, I wonder what kind of recourse the original brand has.
