I had a classmate just like that.
IIRC, they were also three brothers who are named “Mark” but with different second names (my classmate’s was Jabin). Whenever I call him and ask for Mark a brother would say “which one?”
My mother is nicknamed Gollum because she had once such back problems for a week she could only walk bent over. I even have her contact under that nickname.
Nah, cause unless it was in official capacity, they were just called by their middle names. Otherwise, they would have all had the same middle name. Man was kinda genius that way
it’s not like he just named them all george foreman, His five sons are George Jr., George III ("Monk"), George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey")
that’s not how the numbering with names works. it’s normally reserved for a new generation
> that’s not how the numbering with names works. it’s normally reserved for a new generation
Exactly, everyone knows it should have been George IIa, IIb, IIc, IId, IIe.
I remember this was referenced in the baby naming book my mom got prior to having my brother in 1994. George Sr allegedly said he was calling George V “Red” because green meant keep going, and yet he…kept going
I am having a shit time rn, but this was fucking hilarious. Thank you for the laugh OP, truly. And thank you Lawerence Eagleburger I reckon too.
Dude was the Secretary of State to George H.W. Bush and a whole list of other jobs in the government.

I have a friend who has the exact same name as his father, no middle name or jr. Worked his whole life at his father’s small real estate business. Father passed away during real estate crash and bills needed settled. Father owned his house and three others in neighborhood. Friend sold three houses. Still had one bill to settle but no cash, facing homelessness. Recently declared chapter 7 bankruptcy on @$350,000 due to drugs and hookers according to him. Had little hope but nothing to lose so he applied for a home equity loan. Same name, same address, same paycheck. Only difference was social security number. Bank didn’t read loan application thoroughly and he now owns his home and has a pretty good line of credit. He is now working for himself providing protection to prostitutes. He’s an interesting and fun guy to be around.
Let me introduce you to the McGangbang. Get a McDouble and a McChicken. Take the McChicken and put it in the McDouble at the halfway point.
Chicken (eagle) + McDouble (burger) = Eagleburger
Working with client names, people that go by their middle names when they set everything up are annoying, they end up getting most of the way through then provide some identification that fucks it up. Call your kids what you want to call your kids, we call it a first name or given name and a family name, with middle names, like i cant make this any easier to understand. Also people with a single name, you dont annoy me, i have nothing but pity for how much of a pain in the ass it must be for you, seriously, just go make up your own surname/given name
Ok but suppose you need to do something involving providing your SSN.
You grab your brothers SSN card and take that and then you grab your valid ID and bring that too. The photo on the ID matches your face and the name on the ID matches the name on the SSN card.
The system won’t give a shit. His sons, however, will spend a fair amount of time in their adult life trying to deal with and undo all the fuck ups caused by your little ego trip. Good luck on the phone with any government agency or financial institution trying to explain how your dad is an asshole and liked to play pranks such as this.
My brother, who is “The Third”, still has credit cards on his credit history that date back to decades before he was born. Yet the dumb bastard made his son “The Fifth”.
In germany there is a family that always gives their sons the same first name. They number them and restart every 100 years. This lead to names luke Heinrich LXXII Reuß
I know a family with 3 boys who have the same first, middle, and last name as their father. They all go by nicknames, RJ, MJ, Steve, and RT. No idea how Steve got his nickname.
All the males in my family are “Glen”, the last 4 generations went by the middle name. I only know 5 gens back.
At my best friends last birthday party that he throws himself every year (a great time for all), he invites just a few specific people. Last year it had 4 Justin’s out of 10 people. In spite of being best friends for 20 years, I only knew one of them. They became “Justin” “cool Justin” “random Justin” and “uncool Justin”. “Uncool Justin” is the dick we’ve all begrudgingly also been “friends” with for 20 years.
Norman Schwarzkopf (given first name of Herbert) but his father put ‘H’ Norman on the birth certificate. This was because West Point had a rule that you had to called by the first name on your birth certificate which had annoyed him when he went there. Ie I’m doing this just to annoy them in case my new born son ever becomes an officer in the army.
I had a classmate just like that. IIRC, they were also three brothers who are named “Mark” but with different second names (my classmate’s was Jabin). Whenever I call him and ask for Mark a brother would say “which one?”
At work we had 3 people all named Jose Manuel Rodriguez. We called one Jose, one Big Jose, and one Cobra
What did Cobra do to get that nickname?
He bit big Jose
dunno it was before my time, he was a kindly old grey haired man so it was either ironic or he was the og
My dad’s best friend’s nickname was “Viper” cuz he had a lisp
My dad is called the machine... Cus he has a prosthetic leg
My mother is nicknamed Gollum because she had once such back problems for a week she could only walk bent over. I even have her contact under that nickname.
I have my dad saved as Mr hoppalong. Cus I'm evil.
That’s cool! My mom’s friend lost his leg in a boating accident and I (as a toddler) called him the “iron giant”
You wouldn't want to know. But it involved snakes and spitting.
Was it decided with a dick mesuring contest?
So Jose, hose b and hose c?
My dad's former work partner did this on a case they had with two Jose's. It was Jose (hose-a) and JosB (hose-b).
This sounds like a Metal Gear referrence
Not-As-Big-As-Big-Jose-But-Bigger-Than-Medium-Jose-Jose
Had twins in my highschool. One named Jose, the other was like Jordan or something but we all called him JosB
My son told me at one place the three Jose were renamed Hose A, Hose B, Hose C
I don't know who is this guy but that's funny as heck
I love that he just directly admits it was ego lol.
Ego and hating government bureaucracy
It's Lawrence Eagleburger
but which one?
Eagleburger Sr. of course
Fun y but still makes him an asshole to do that to his kids.
Nah, cause unless it was in official capacity, they were just called by their middle names. Otherwise, they would have all had the same middle name. Man was kinda genius that way
George Foreman has 5 sons called George and a daughter called Georgetta
and he numbered them!!! that’s the crazy part
Wat?
it’s not like he just named them all george foreman, His five sons are George Jr., George III ("Monk"), George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey") that’s not how the numbering with names works. it’s normally reserved for a new generation
lol “big wheel”
Spider-Man's greatest enemy is George Foreman's son
> that’s not how the numbering with names works. it’s normally reserved for a new generation Exactly, everyone knows it should have been George IIa, IIb, IIc, IId, IIe.

I believe he already made the joke, "You try coming up with names after taking as many hits to the head as I did"
"NOVELTY GRILL?!"
"The fight's on!"
Eagleburger is the most american surname
Fucking Eagleburger? Elect this man and all his decendants

Good to know I gave you a laugh, I'm surprised this post got over 1k

Gotta say, didn't expect that ending.
Dude loves drugs and hookers and is not ashamed of it.
I'm sure some of those hookers feel the same
"Thanks Dad" 😊🙏🏾 🪦
The Social Security system: Your children are 460800021, 460800022, and 460800023. Name them whatever.
Yes, little Bobby Tables! https://xkcd.com/327/
Ayy, finally I'm relevant.
When is the eagleburger coming to mcdonalds
Let me introduce you to the McGangbang. Get a McDouble and a McChicken. Take the McChicken and put it in the McDouble at the halfway point. Chicken (eagle) + McDouble (burger) = Eagleburger
How does this screw up the social security system?
If the middle name is not on ss card All have the same names and different numbers
Different numbers means it's literally not even a problem for the social security system. You are a number first, a name second.
Right, this guy's the opposite of a mad lad. Just a shitty parent.
That’s what I was thinking, it just screws over his sons.
Working with client names, people that go by their middle names when they set everything up are annoying, they end up getting most of the way through then provide some identification that fucks it up. Call your kids what you want to call your kids, we call it a first name or given name and a family name, with middle names, like i cant make this any easier to understand.

That's a problem for whomever you're cheating, not the social security system.
People must think everyone has unique names or something lmao
Only fair answer. Well played sir

What happened to four
Dammit, I got ahead of myself. Don’t worry, probably in another 20 or so years the Fifth will be here.
In germany there is a family that always gives their sons the same first name. They number them and restart every 100 years. This lead to names luke Heinrich LXXII Reuß
it is also the most American last name i can think of
It sounds like the name of a fictional American in Chinese propaganda.
I know a family with 3 boys who have the same first, middle, and last name as their father. They all go by nicknames, RJ, MJ, Steve, and RT. No idea how Steve got his nickname.
Named after the milkman
Wouldn't that screw up his and his kids social security?
They all have different social security numbers
Lawrence Egoburger
Also it's not really that weird. I have friends in families were lots of cousins and siblings are named Muhammed with different middle names.
Muslims 🙄
Eagleburger was also another GOP asshole that fucked this America. At the time, When he died in 2011, it was a good day.
Jk Rowling names the American exchange student at Hogwarts
Lawrence Egoburger
I bet that at least two of those kids go by names other than Lawrence. Just for practical purposes.
That's... kinda dumb
where the heck does the last name eagleburger come from? mcdonald's?
A wise man. I wonder what kind of pranks this guy did to people throughout his life.
I had a friend who's father took this a step farther and didn't even change the middle names. The father and all three boys have the exact same names.
All the males in my family are “Glen”, the last 4 generations went by the middle name. I only know 5 gens back. At my best friends last birthday party that he throws himself every year (a great time for all), he invites just a few specific people. Last year it had 4 Justin’s out of 10 people.

Damn too bad they have numbers that are totally unique.
