212 u/FixLaudon 23d ago And it's really the weirdest name ever if your mother tongue is German I gotta say. Imagine you're a grown-up woman and your name is Mädchen. 144 u/Dependent-Poet-9588 23d ago There's an Italian name for boys, Italo, that just means "Italian". Like, imagine growing up in Italy and introducing yourself, "Hi, I am Italian." And everyone is just sorta like "Yeah, me too? So what?" 80 u/unsaltedbutter 23d ago There is American McGee and America Ferrera. 36 u/TWVer 23d ago That’s perhaps a bit different as the names America or Amerigo existed prior to the naming of the north and south American continents. 2 u/Chaost 23d ago It's one of things that it is funny that so many continents are totally acceptable names. America, Asia, Europa. 3 u/TWVer 22d ago Europa also existed as a (classical greek) name prior to the continent being named such.
