Phoenix is a cool name, tho. Even if it’s spelled wrong.
When I was much younger, my gf and I joked about naming an unwanted child to punish them (in reality, we’d get an abortion). We decided Paisley was the best bad name. But I think Thurman’s parents hated them even more.
Though I’m not gonna say my name here, I could respond to that thread.
The Thurman is easy to shorten, at least nowadays. Just add a thick drawl to the ‘Thur’ and say, “but everybody calls me Thor,” and roll your eyes a bit. They’ll laugh, tease you about it a bit because you got named after a comic book character, and then you won’t be known as Thurman.

I’m well aware that Thor did not originate in comic books. Thank you for reading my TED Sp(ew)Ed.
I knew a Thor in highschool. I think his name was actually Anthor? I could be wrong. Knew his brother also, named Mordecai. They had a lot more sibling I never learned their names. They were an…interesting family.
Thursday is Thor’s Day. Just say your name is Thur and a day of the week is named after you.
A kid in my kids class went by Thor… short for Thorafin
Can’t they just, adopt the correct version of their name?
I have a friend with a very arcaic name and most people don’t know what we call him is not his real name.
People don’t realize that this has always been the case. I learned my wife’s grandpa’s real name at his funeral.
they’re not Anons anymore since we now know their names
Yes I’m sure those aren’t at all made up.
Hey Thur
I work with a Furman, like not even a furry. (As far as I know.)
Maybe you could shorten Thurman to Thurry?
thurry
I’m getting an image of cold tomato soup with hair in it.
That is how you spell pheonix and I don’t care what the Oxford English dictionary or anyone else says.
Shut up Dan Le Sac
I think it was the wordsmith Scroobius pip that wrote that lyric
Ah, I only know the song, didn’t know which of the two wrote it
Shut up Fenix
That’s just misspelled cat food
sheds a single protoss tear
Now I need a Fenix Down
Is your name Thurman?.. Thurman Merman?.. Jesus.
Thurman is short for Turd Ferguson
