      Naming kids with last names always sounds weird. Hi Hunter, this is Cooper and Tanner. Fuck off.

      Seems a little too important. Naming a kid after a dude who holds up the literal world does kinda speak a bit about the parents.

                Only 12 to work with, and you're lucky if people know 2 of them.

                Now olympians give you something to work with.

                  I still gotta play it. I know I'm gonna love it but haven't had the cash for it and it hasn't gone on sale for the switch recently.

    Name shaming is bizarre. If a whole generation gives their kids "weird names" then the perceived "problem" of them getting bullied for their name withers away, so what exactly are we criticizing here?

      You don't get it. This is a website where we vent our misplaced rage about the far reaching consequences of capitalism, but we take it out on Twitter nobodys.

      Country singer Dustin Lynch chose his name the same way, but his surname was a job his ancestors did instead of his first name.

      So in 100 years we’ll have babies named Cashier or Clerk. “Hi my name is Associate, good to meet you”

      "Hey dad, I want you to meet my boyfriend: YouTuber Smith."

    Is Ayn a white name? Rand is the only person I've ever heard with that name. I thought it was pronounced as "Ann" for a long time, which flows a lot better off the tongue; Ann Rand vs Ayn Rand

      Ayn Rand was a pen name, she was Russian and also gave herself the name Alice O'Connor
