Is it sad...
in reply to a message by Edie
That the scariest name I found there was the article author's son's? Otter, for crying out loud!The other worst offenders, imo, were Rob Morrow's Tu Morrow and, of course, Jason Lee's Pilot Inspektor. *Headdesk* At least spell it properly!

InspektorWhat nationality is the mother of Jason Lee's son? Inspektor is a correctly spelled German word and I wouldn't be surprised to find the word in other Indo-European languages as well.It's still a crappy name though.

The IMDb states that little Pilot's full name is Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf-Lee, and that his mother is Jason's fiancée Beth Riesgraf. It said nothing about Beth's ancestry, but the surname does look very ethnic--maybe German, yes.Linky: http://tinyurl.com/6v6zm.EDIT: Forgot link.

Otter?I didn't even notice that. That's horrible. I can deal with Tiger, Wolf, Cougar, and many bird names, but Otter?Suelain is interesting as well :-/

Suelain's "interesting", but I can tolerate a lot more because it actually has some sort of sensible reasoning to it. And it honours family.Otter, on the other hand, is just "Wtf?!" to me. :-/

Maybe the author was a big fan of Animal House with John Belucci. One of that characters in that movie was called Otter, granted that was his nickname in his fraternity, but maybe thats where they got it from.
