The AnswerMug Challenge Series, You Gave Me A Bad Name Edition: Cain, Chester, Jack, Jezebel, John, Judas, Mark . . .
What are some first names that potentially carry with them a negative connotation, either because of an infamous person or persons having had those names in the past, or because of an expression/adage/saying/colloquialism associated with the name?
EXAMPLES:
Father didn't return home on time, it turns out he was involved in a police raid at a cathouse and was arrested for being one of the johns.
You dirty coppers ain't hangin' dis bum rap on me; I may be a crook, but I ain't nobody's patsy. I don't never take the fall for somethin' somebody else done, only for what I done myself, see?
She'll go out with just about any and every Tom, Dick and Harry off the streets, but she's too good to go out with me?
Listen, I know it's your first time on an airplane, but you don't have to be such a nervous Nellie.
RULES:
1. As shown in the first two examples, lowercase words that correspond with names can be used.
2. Slang terms may be used.
3. Names and/or name-words from any language may be used, but if you use a foreign expression that might be unfamiliar to the average English-speaker, please include a translation or a brief explanation.
4. Keep it as clean as possible: this is a family show.
5. Have fun!
