My pet peeve is the Finnish name “Yrjö”. It comes from the Greek name “Geôrgios”, which means farmer, but nowadays the word “yrjö” means vomit. ‘Unique spellings’ like some “Everleigh” also drive me crazy.

    Greg

    By some strange alchemy, all of my friends seem to know a person named Greg that they dislike. It’s become a bit of a meme that if someone mentions the name, others will just grumble in “Fuckin’ Greg”
