With a name like Buckley, he’d better be good.

This is a delightful bit of information. And finding out Tucker named his kid Buckley just makes it better.

It will surprise no one that Buckley seems to have enjoyed career opportunities and financial compensation deeply disproportionate to his academic achievements and work experience.

I wonder if Buckley is named after William F. Buckley Jr.? Gross.

“That’s my son Buckley over there, he’s failing upwards like a chip off the old block. And here are my lovely daughters Smuckers and Plucky - we expect great things from them in the reflexively misogynistic homemaker department.”

Dialogue from any random 80s skiing/skateboarding/breakdancing/BMX movie:
“Did you guys hear?! Tucker and Buckley are teaming up to buy the rec center so they can tear it down and put up a bank!”

“I know that you don’t know him, but Buckley is a fine, up-standing, white boy; like Brock Allen Turner. So, I feel sure you could write him a glowing letter of recommendation, Mr Biden.”

Because “Reagan” is already so overused in those circles.

Is it, though? Or did you mean utterly predictable?

Buckley Carlson sounds like a folksy way of talking about some ill-defined medical complaint.
“Of course, your dad would have gone to Vietnam if it hadn’t been for his buckley carlson, if you know what I mean.”
“Yeah, I’ve had a buckley carlson since I was born, but it’s never held me back from doing anything I wanted to do.”

One of my best friends in high school is named Buckley. HIs parents were immigrants from China, and apparently they thought giving their kids these kinds of high-toned Anglo names would help them fit in.

He has no record of achievement- but he was admitted to and graduated from Georgetown and Yale Law?

Some people can make an unusual name work for them, for many it’s a cross. My wife was given an odd name for reasons similar to your friend. Her classmates made passage through high school unbearable, though of course her name was only one point of vulnerability among many, She countered by being terrifyingly good at everything - the school ran out of academic awards for her. I doubt Buckley Carlson can say the same.

Carlson’s now in a hissy fit fight with Boris Johnson after El Blobbo said he couldn’t understand why Republicans were so afraid of the Confused Ham:
In this case, they both need to lose.
