Literally cannot fathom how he got away with something so corny. If anyone did this today they would get laughed out of the movement. How did he pull it off?

You're allowed to give yourself a badass name whenever you want, you just have to be ready to throw down really hit somone With a chair style if anyone questions it.

I have so many names it's a little silly and about half of them are as pretentious as "Steel Man".

"Frank" usually means "of the Franks" and connotes a free man, but it can also colloquially mean straightforward honesty. A lot of names are bad ass if you translate them. Miles is latin for warrior or soldier. Michael means "who is like God?". Issac is the one who laughs obama-socialism.

Translate your name out from its original language and you'll often get something cool.

Translate your mother's maiden name out of its original language and you'll often get something cool, especially if you tack on the last four digits of your Social Security Number fedposting

This didn't work for everyone. Mine means 'gullible sheep' and I'm not sure what 1234 translates as – am I supposed to look at the original Arabic numerals?

In Italian, mine means 'Lion heart' shrug-outta-hecks

I don’t think “happy” is that cool a name.
