Today, I discovered that the word 'randy' means 'horny' in England. I'm going to England next semester to study abroad. My name is Randy. FML

We aren't retarded. We use the word horny a lot more. Randy is a dying word over here.

When I was in England, the name Lou seemed to be very popular. It has a little tinkle to it.

Don't worry, Dick and Fanny are also traditional English names, and in the Commonwealth Fanny doesn't mean 'bum/arse' it means '******'. So I don't think you need to worry all that much about being Randy.

Gee, really? Did you also know that "dick" is slang for penis, and is also commonly used as a nickname for men named Richard?! /sarcasm

IF they make fun of your name, make fun of them for their accents. Seems like a fair trade.

Well, She'll be the one with the accent. Sounds like a lose-lose proposition.

Go by Randall or Randolph. Even when you come back to North America. Randy is a pretty white-trash name....See National Lampoon's X-Mas/Vegas vacation. Men shouldn't have names that end in the 'ee" sound.

Eeeh, well OP is a woman, so going by Randolph would be weirder.

The name Randy is an actual name. It doesn't have to be a shortened version of a name. It is also a unisex name. Regardless of how common "randy" is used in place of horny, I'm sure a few friends may tease her or she will run across a few people who still use it. No big deal though :) just a name..
