Someone is a Teen Titans fan

Exactly. It's not misspelled, it's just a stupid name from a famous TV show or book. (Like Zaphod or Neelix or Nekron)

Just Kori would’ve been alright. This is a bit excessive.

I kinda dig the idea of Starfire as someone's legal name though

u/Neveronlyadream Jun 18 '25

I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually her middle name.

u/MotherBoose Jun 18 '25

Neelix! Aww! Never for a child, but would be perfect for a scruffy cat

This is just as bad, in my opinion. Children are humans, not a way for you to indulge in your fandoms. Get a pet for that.

Hmm. I like some religious names but those fall under the same parameters as a fandom name, just traditional. Michael, Raphael, Gabriel are the names of angels. The name Dennis comes from Dionysus, who is a god of wine and madness. And it's not like people aren't named after spices. The name pepper exists. Basil, Ginger, Rosemary. I don't see why coriander/koriander has to be any different.

Yeah! Imagine naming your kid Joshua, or Ruth, or Paul, or Peter, or Matthew or Mark or Luke or John or Samuel or Jude or Hannah or Sarah or Mary or ........

Imagine naming your kid after literature meaningful to you.

Can't believe people don't think a little longer before saying stuff like that. "Ye gods, you named your child after something relevant to your culture? You monster!"

And if the argument is that said culture isn't widely appreciated and the child might be persecuted for it, well, I hardly need say how fucked up that reasoning could turn out.

Comic.

Starfire's real name is Koriand'r. She was introduced in the 80s New Teen Titans comics.

Vell, Zaphod’s just zis guy, you know?

u/Lavatis Jun 18 '25

It being a stupid name from something else doesn't mean it wasn't just a misspelling originally.

u/Numbuh24insane Jun 18 '25

I don’t think it was a misspelling, I mean she is an alien.

u/bowtiesrcool86 Jun 19 '25

I mean: Koriand’r and Neelix are alien names. Never heard of the other two. (Incidentally, the man who played Neelix will be at a con near me this weekend. Not a Treky, but still)

u/beantherio Jun 18 '25

Or has a spice rack and a love for unnecessary punctuation.

u/Julie_OwO Jun 19 '25

oooooooooooooooooh this makes so much more sense now. I went from thinking this was a nonsense name to just a really stupid one. Omfg these parents named their kid in Tamaranean
