Re: Weird/ugly names I came across this week
I'm clueless about video games, but Kirby is an English-language surname. As surnames go, it works quite well as a given name, except that I've got painful memories of a friend with that very surname who came to a sad and dreadful end, too young.

It's also a very specific, highly meme'd video game character :') having this name in a school yard in the 2020's would be... unpleasant. Always Google before making it official.
