1:14:28why is the short for of William, "Bill"? Who came up with that?
1:14:29@Scrubwave he'll end up a pimp
1:14:53Once again the British have made something revolting
1:14:54I'm more wondering why the short for Richard is what it is
1:14:55What is wrong with Stanislav? Stanislav Petrov is a hero.
1:14:56The english being silly again
1:15:04it's a rhyming nickname, william, will, bill
1:15:07That's easy mode. First figure out how Jack is short for John.
1:15:07People who were based and understood Germanic languages
1:15:08If you upggrade all skelly boys the risen up become upgraded
1:15:13will vill bill - it's not just an english name
1:15:14But if I name my kid Karl-Franz will he be a most successful emperor?
他
1:15:20@RearEndCrash he'll end up as our Messiah
1:15:25I bring you tragic news Gumis, It's English people...again
1:15:31why is the short form of Richard, Dick. same vibe
1:15:44even in slavs countries names with -slav are kinda meh
1:15:45People would just call him karl and that's a melvin name
1:15:48@Hamiltonianmcmc work adjacent
1:15:49nomen is name in Latin, thanks google granpappt TTSm nomos is Greek fror law, hence autonomy
1:15:52It's rhyming slang. Back when there weren't many names, if you had 2 williams in your village, you'd call one "will" and the other "bill"
1:15:55Just don't name your kid Archibald.
1:15:57if you name your kid KF he's gonna get bopped and start a gang war
1:16:02Its the english... in their boats... with guns... Gunboats!
1:16:04maybe one stack of skelly warriors to eat retaliations
1:16:07have you tried any of the Age of Wonders games? they play like this and I like them.

1:16:23Archy is a good name, it's fine
1:16:31Archibald is very aristocratic sounding
1:16:32I hought b and v is close enough as you can see the Japanese taught their students use their b for v sounds.
1:16:32Archibald is definitely a villain name
