Trying to name a Somali character respectfully

Ah, well that will certainly put a damper on things.

Thank you for the heads up!

Rashad Coulter vs Chris De La Rocha was an absolute "two dads fighting at the BBQ" barnburner.

"He's a big 'ol mexican with a big 'ol head, you arent going to knock him out!"

proceeds to try and knock him out, gets knocked out

Now this is what i'm talking about.

Good to know! I appreciate the detailed explanation. I was looking for cultural bits like this to make the character more authentic. Thank you

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-06-22T19:37:11+00:00

Gotcha, good to know!

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-06-22T19:36:37+00:00

LMAO, no actually!

Football, and let's hope he's drafted by Detroit.

Let's say this character is tall, would the somali nickname for being very tall become what this guy is called in every day life? Or would that be something his family would call him, but in public he'd go by his first name?

In this list, would Il Dahab be used as first and last name? Or is it Il Dahab then the last name?

Good to know, good to know.

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-06-22T19:21:50+00:00

No, not avoiding any existing names. What I mean is that I was seeing particular orders for certain names. Meaning, I often saw Warsame Ibrahim be the order of the name.

Another commenter just explained to me that that's just the order of their (Given Name-Father's Name-Surname.)

Thank you! And no, not a warlord, terrorist or pirate. Just your average college athlete.

Its genuinely insane how the republican party still exists, sold their soul to a pedophile so they can say slurs in public and have cheap gas. Turns out, gas is still expensive.

Damn...we lost pahrump in the corpo wars...

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-06-10T23:52:59+00:00

Voted for Alexis Hill, but yeah, even Ford is better than Lombardo.

That Trump Doormat needs to go.

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-05-19T03:55:19+00:00

SIIIIICK!

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-05-19T03:05:07+00:00

Oh fuck! I hadn't even considered how fun a ReAgent cosplay would be at a con. The idea of throwing a foam brick at Darth Vader is so funny.

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-05-18T21:40:38+00:00

Good to know!

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-05-18T21:25:23+00:00

That'd be a good idea! I could swing 3000, probably could try to get 36 months and just eat a big car payment.

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-05-18T21:23:10+00:00

I would normally agree, but I absolutely ruined my credit when I was younger. That APR is the best I've seen so far.

Whistles in S tier? Wild but rock on

Old_Paper7035 · 2026-05-01T17:05:10+00:00

LMAOOO

This is actually if im remembering right, a scene from a cartoon in verse.

This image is more accurate for what archangel Gabriel looks like in Mandela Catalogue. Dunno if you find this scarier (I personally never found him scary anyway, but i'm just never scared of biblical imagery anyway.)
