Billybong Camouflage: I can finally pronounce this actor's name
We love him, the 47-year-old British actor who has made it from BBC actor to one of Hollywood's biggest stars. But nobody can pronounce his name, for God's sake! But now there's a solution.
Benetock Cumborlatsch. Sh*t! Again. Benadryl Cumberdash. Ah. I can't get it right. I just can't pronounce the name of the British star actor. Does it have to be so terribly complicated? Yet he's been one of my absolute favourite actors since the BBC's "Sherlock" series.
Benedeit... Benedampf... Gopferdammi. Cimberbutch... Oh, forget it!

Luckily, I discovered this generator that easily generates new names for me. The highlight: the alternatives sound almost exactly the same, have the same number of syllables and a confusingly similar style. Here, give it a try:
Super useful, isn't it? Now I can finally talk about Billybong Camouflage without breaking my jaw twice. After all, Boilerdang Upperclass deserves all the attention he can get. Especially as his new short film "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar" has been running on Netflix for a week now - with Rinkydink Cheddarcheese in top form. We also discussed this in the Techtelmechtel podcast.
But now I'm curious. Did the name generator help you too? What meaningful alternatives did it spit out for you? Write it in the comments.
