A bus driver in Sweden decided that his name was not cool/long enough so what did he do? He gave himself a name so badass, that we just had to tell you.
Andreas Jankov officially changed his name to:
Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov.
So, let’s quickly run down the meanings of his name:
- Julius is an homage to the famous chimp at the Kristiansand Zoo
- ‘Arn’ is a Swedish knight movie
- Elessar and Gimli are from ‘Lord of the Rings’
- ‘MacGyver’, you know that show where the guy can make a machine gun out of a snorkel mask, a paper clip and some pieces of string.
- ‘Highlander’ could refer to either the movie or TV show, but there only can be one.
- Chewbacka (TCM side note: We believe Andreas spelled this wrong, but since he is Swedish we will give him the benefit of the doubt. It should be spelled: Chewbacca) is from ‘Star Wars’.
I bet you this guy gets laid like no other.
You can officially throw this name into the list of badass names along with:
- Guts the Black Swordsman
- Nemesis Enforcer
- The End
- King Bloodfeather
- Doctor Bong (Our Personal Favorite)
- Rooster Cogburn
