    I feel like Mother of Thousands is maybe not the best name for a baby.

        I grow those! Now I have no idea what the PC name for them is. (Which is weird because the Wandering Jew is basically mythology, nothing against Jews.)

          The name has, for good reasons, fallen out of fashion. “Inch plant” is what I’ve heard recently.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandering_Jew

          Various types of plants are called by the common name “wandering Jew”, apparently because of these plants’ ability to resist gardener’s attempt to prevent them from “wandering over the earth until the second coming of Christ” (see Wandering Jew (disambiguation) § Plants). In 2016, to avoid anti-Semitism, the name “wandering dude” to describe Tradescantia has been proposed in an online plant community by Pedram Navid, instead of “Wandering Jew” and “silver inch plant”.[83] [84][85][86]

        I think that’s a title one earns, not one that should be given from birth.

    There really is a screaming hairy armadillo (Chaetophractus vellerosus). The name comes from its squealing when you pick it up.

      That name seems a little weirder in context.

      It’s like calling a species of wild pig the “Bleeding Black Hog” because of how it reacts to being shot.

        There is that meme floating around about a salmon learning that named a color after them. I’m sure there are a ton of other examples.
