    Members of Boy Bands Who Names Are Phonetically Similar To Kratz (crats)?

    Discussion in 'Research' started by frigocc, Jul 31, 2022.

    Odd research question, I know. Prefer a member of a relatively popular band, if possible. My character is secretly in love with boy bands, and often uses names of boy band members as insults. I have this character arguing with a guy named Kratz, and I'm looking for a name phonetically similar to Kratz for the following exchange:

    KRATZ
    I don't even trust you, murderer.

    DOUG
    Hey, I don't call you [boy band member], do I?

    KRATZ
    No, because it's pronounced Kratz!

    DOUG
    No, because [boy band member] is skinny, and you're too fat to be in a boy band, Fatone!

    Fritz? Ignatz?

    I'm not sure I understood the question though...

    There's Chris Kirkpatrick, that's the first that comes to mind.

    Basically, looking for the name of someone in a boy band that sounds like the name Kratz.

    I've come at this the opposite way from Bruce. But I can't find any famous Fritz' or Ignatz' who were in boy bands, or think of any other first names that sound like Kratz.
    There might be surnames or nicknames.

    There's a list here - anything more obscure than this probably isn't going to amuse anyone - so I'd suggest to scroll through and knock yerself out

    @Alcove Audio @Rad Scribbler I think the OP wants to reference the name of an actual celebrity. And his work is sitcom screenplays so it's not a "what do I call my vampire?" thread.

    Although, Glatz would be a pretty cool name for a vampire trying to blend in with a boy band. A bit larger than the others, slight accent...

    Okay,

    In that case the closest I can find is: JC Chasez of 'NSync.

    I was thinking that the list might spawn a name that the OP knew but had forgotten about.

    Why does this character use boy band names as an insult if he’s in love with boy bands?

    A question I never thought I’d be asking.

    Toxic masculinity. He doesn't wanna look like a "pussy."

    I could definitely see this being in some sort of vampire comedy. Dracula on the run from authorities, fabricates a new identity as a member of a boy band. Perhaps a scene in there where his pasty complexion gets people thinking he's bleaching his skin or something ("whitewashing").

    I dunno. I like absurd comedies, so this may just work, lol.

    I like the idea that he's the member of a boy band with an evolving lineup like Menudo and he's the only member that never ages out of the band...
