Help[Opinions] Re: Hunter
in reply to a message by Lily
As a vegetarian, I can't say the name bothers me in that sense, but I don't like the name.
Perhaps it's a reflection on me, and how my mind works, but I see the 'Hunt' part and I can see how easy it is to change the first letter and turn it into a rather vulgar term.
I can just imagine the potential for teasing.

I don't really see much potential for teasing. I know several guys named Hunter, one of them goes by Hunt all of the time and I've never heard of anyone making that connection. I never thought of it myself either. It's a name that made the top 40 so I doubt many people see a potential for teasing, otherwise it wouldn't be so common.
Maybe it's because they are words. The words hunt and hunter don't make me think of the vulgar term because they have their own meanings. When you think about it almost all names rhyme with something vulgar or unattractive, or at least a syllable of them does.

Yeah I know a ton of Hunters and nobody teases them about the C word.

I think it's because of the joke RoxStar made in her post, that makes the connection for me.
NB: Although I feel the same about Tucker.
I clearly just have a vulgar mind.

No, you don't. The name makes me think of c***, too.

Mike Hunt would be a rather unfortunate name, but I really only see anything vulgar about it when it's paired with a name that ends in a K sound and you say them quickly.

PG...
There is a very common gag that radio personalities like to pull. They will get their dumb intern or some listener to go to a store and ask that "Mike Hunt" be paged over the loudspeaker.

Something similar happened on the BBC news a few months ago, when they were talking about "Jeremy Hunt - culture secretary."

More of the gag.
Also Mike Rotch, Wayne Kerr, and Dan Druff are favorite pranks as well.
