Luciano Pizzichini - Name of some child prodigy guitarist I saw online when I was a teenager. I could never forget that name.

Mafio Calzone, unironically a banger name

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

It could be a minor Trump world character

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Mafio is not a real italian name, but Fiamma (flame in italian) is, tho feminine

Also the point of the joke is for the name to not be a real name and be insulting

Fiamma (flame in italian) is, tho feminine

New trans girl name dropped who wants it?

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

I have literally grown up in Italy. I know :)

Fiamma might be a real name, but it's rare enough that I've never encountered it.

poor East Timor always forgotten

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Weird to see it excluded, because it was a Portuguese colony.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

They also speak a mix of Portuguese with Local Language called Tentum

Jones the Steal

Or if she was trying to be a bit more subtle:

Taffy ap Lleidr

So, based on the sortsa word association and stereotypes naming convention Rowling uses.

Ivor the Engine was a children's show that aired about the time she was a child, it had a Welsh character called Jones the Steam. One of the big stereotypes about the Welsh is that we're all thieves. So Jones the Steal.

Taffy ap Lleidr is a bit of a deeper pull. Taffy the Welshman is an English nursery rhyme about Welsh people that relies on the aforementioned stereotypes.

small excerptTaffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief

Taffy came into my house, and stole a leg of beef

I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed

So I took my leg of beef, and hit him in the head

Sometimes in Rowling's work she just machine translates words and squashes them together. So in that spirit I jammed ap which is a preffix in Welsh names that means son of, with Lleidr which means burglar.

Yeah, it kept popping into my head, but thinking every east asian is a Ninja would be a very 90s white lady thing to do
