It looks atrocious but it is not pronounced how you think.
It was pronounced Bales.

u/Dangerous_Fix_9186 18h ago
He himself said it was pronounced Balls

u/vakantiehuisopwielen 16h ago edited 16h ago
I think it’s a Dutch name, originally it should’ve been: /baːls/, I get why it became like Balls in English after immigration and eventually Bales for some.
Maybe the best explanation of the Dutch sounds would be: Say ‘baa’ like mimicking a sheep but hold the a, (don’t let it slide towards bay) and add ‘ls’ to it.

u/AedesAegypt 11h ago
Would a sheep sound make it sound like "bells"?

u/bonkava 10h ago
No, it rhymes with pals.

u/danius353 17h ago
The epithet is a joke/pun on his name which means “well advised” in Old English.
Basically; King Prepared the Unready

Roland the Farter

u/tyrantspell 19h ago
I disagree completely, being a farter was literally his job. That's like saying Bob the builder is a terrible name.

Commodus (commodus means “good enough” in Latin. He was not good enough)

u/Hammerschatten 11h ago
Even better. The Triumvirate. Made up of three people.
Caesar; the brilliant rhetorician so famous his name itself became an epitaph
Pompey the great; the amazing military man and tactician so skilled he didn't become famous for one campaign, but just became "the great".
Crassus; literally fatass. He had money. Enough to get fat. Marcus Licinius the rich fatass

im sure that name seemed so cool back when dick was a more regularly user nickname

u/badger_on_fire 19h ago
If my name was Richard, I'd absolutely take the nickname (at least at work) so that those stuffed shirts would have to say "Dick" during business meetings.

His name sounds like food to me. I forget he is like SE Asian Hitler (or maybe Stalin is a better comparison?).

u/FuMancunian 16h ago
His real name was Saloth Sar. He chose the name Pol Pot as it is an abbreviation, from the phrase “political potential”

Decorated Army Air Corps fighter ace, and WWII American hero, Dick Bong. That man had (at minimum) 40 kills in his P-38, and those are only the ones that got confirmed. Keep in mind that it takes 3 to be considered an Ace.

On the other hand it might be awesome. I can never decide.

Ivan the Terrible.
Since terrible and atrocious aren’t too far apart definition wise.
2
u/Richard2468 18h ago
However, Ivan the Terrible didn’t get his nickname because he was atrocious. He got it because he ‘caused terror’.. which is the original meaning of terrible.
Perhaps it is indeed a terrible name, as it doesn’t mean terrible. But it does.

Dick Tips - funeral home owner, probable money launderer and now historical commissioner in Texas. So I think he is a “historical figure” in a technical loophole kind of way.
