If, by chance, I ended up married to a woman whose last name was Bates, and that name carried on to my hypothetical children, I could call one of them Master, with awesome results! He'd be Master Bates!

I just hope we one day get an Opponaut named Master so we can tag posts #MasterBait.

Louis CK talks about how legally, you can name your child anything you want. He talked about naming his kid "Ladies and Gentlemen."

"This is my child, Ladies and Gentlemen."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please!"

etc.

Edit: found the video.

There exists, in Star Wars canon, a character. A Jedi Master. Soon Bayts

I'll let you put it together

Holy crap, wow... From the Star Wars wiki

By the time of the Clone Wars , Bayts was a Master,

And that part right there is very important, he wasn't just a regular run-of-the-mill Jedi, no, he was Jedi Master Bayts. Yeeeah...

Ah, the worst part is that a recently approved patriot act in Brazil aims to discourage parents in naming their kids with anything that's not on a pre-approved names list, so Brazilian kids have Brazilian names, as opposed to foreign ones, like Peter, which is me.

Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure you can still name your kid whatever you want, though, otherwise how do you explain this dude called Kimarrison? That's not even a name! But if you go name your kid a completely normal thing, like Peter, they go, "oh, wouldn't you rather call him Pedro, a proper Brazilian name?"

But given the type of people with the surname Bates, that would likely mean marrying the White Devil. You should find a Miss Bates in Argentina quite easily.

Blame Top Gear! I have this big exam tomorrow, so, instead of studying, what I did was play two Dead Spaces and watch hours upon hours upon hours... of Top Gear, now I'm having all these random insights and hearing all my thoughts in Clarkson's, May's and Hammond's voices. This is actually really amazing, but I doubt it'll be of any help in my exam tomorrow. Eh, I'll just wing it, how hard can it be?
