I haven't really made fun of the Red Sox enough this baseball season.

To be fair their players have made far more of a mockery of the team than I could ever.

I am Greg, and I only tend to encounter other Gregs in packs. Whether at school or work or whatever, I am either the only Greg or there are 4 or 5 of us. I don't understand this distribution. I have never seen a Greg-pair in the wild.

I never really had a nickname, everyone just called me by my last name. To the point where anyone I know from high school still does, including my wife

My last few relationships all had the other person calling me by my last name, which was always fun if I met the parents.

I'm a Kimberly, but the only person who calls me Kimberly is my grandpa. I've always been Kimmy. There are never any other Kimmys. Just me, a 28 year old with the nickname of a preschooler.

It's not all bad though, this year I was able to convince everyone in my freshman level music theory class that I'm my 21-year-old brother's twin. Having a child's name was kinda helpful there.

I have never met a Quentin but in literature, Quentins are always self-centered douchebags.

Jackson is a family name on my dad's side, we call my little brother Jax, which is probably even more of a self-centered douchebag name but actually is a reference to a character in a Terry Brooks novel.

I actually get kinda annoyed when I think about how my siblings are named because I'm the oldest and got named Kimberly, and then the names got weirder/cooler as my parents had more kids. I have a sister named Aviva Cheri, which is the coolest loving name ever (IT'S A PALINDROME ARE YOU KIDDING ME), and another named Charis, which I picked and which is awesome simply because now that smartphones are a thing, she gets accidentally called Chairs all the time.

Yeah I go by Jacks a lot. It's what my parents/sister call me. Good shortened names are very important when naming a kid.

For instance, I love the name Eleanor because it can be shortened to Ellie.

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
I had a dream last night I was a kid again, and I was meeting one of my mom's new boyfriends. His name was Dave, he was a balding, nebbish man wearing an off-white polo shirt and cargo shorts (despite being in his forties). He was driving me and one of my sisters to school when he decided to start smoking without rolling the windows down. I complained and called him disgusting and he said my mom would be unhappy to hear that "as we're getting along great, don't you want her to be happy?" I said no and insisted he pull over. I got out and tried to call an uber but it had trouble figuring out where I was (and I certainly didn't know either).

Namechat awoke my subconscious bias against daves, sorry not sorry to any daves in the audience, change your name you losers.

As someone who grew up with a lot of people around the same age with the same name, it really sucks, but I don't want something so unique that it's impossible to pronounce or spell cause I have that problem as well with Meghan having about a thousand different spellings and nobody ever guessing right on the first try. It's why I want a classy older name that everyone knows and can also spell, but isn't seen much anymore.

I've given this a lot of thought.

Well the problem with names is that we are all ultimately products of our environment, and while I too think Eleanor is a classy name, it's likely everyone else does, too, and in a few years it'll jump into the top 50. It's hard to find a name that's just perfect.

This is a fun website though for those who are expecting or expecting to be expecting:
