Beavis

Was this even a WORD before the show came out? I always thought Mike Judge made it up because it sounded like both a male name and the word "penis".

Yuck.

Why would you give your kid a name that's associated with a dumb jackass? Even without the Beavis and Butthead association Beavis is still an ugly name.

There is good news on that front: according to Wolfram Alpha, a statistically insignificant number of people are named Beavis or Bevis in the United States. I did a little research and found that Mike Judge knew a kid growing up named Bobby Beavis who inspired the Beavis character, so it was a surname. What a relief!

Heh, I didn't know that this was a real name either. I like the show (as you can tell by my username), but I would NOT recommend naming your son after a character like Beavis, he'd definitely be picked on.

I realize I'm stating the obvious here but I'll do it anyway. This is a really, really, really awful name. Anyone out there who actually bears this name has my condolences.

Well, it is preferable to Butthead.

The "Beavis and Butthead" association will never leave.

I didn't even know this was a real name! Lol. Well, personally I don't really like the end sound "vis" in a name, like Davis and Elvis. Doesn't roll off the tounge nicely.

But hey, if you use this as a first name in America anytime soon, just hope he has a great sense of humor! (No matter how weird a name is, a good attitude makes it work. Never be ashamed of your name!)

The series is becoming less popular. I think in a number of years this would make a fine name. Maybe not a first, but a middle name.

Oh, God! I hope no one names their child this. It's synonymous with stupidity.

Oh God, don't name your child this!
