My boss's name is Micaela. So close, yet so far from a practically-real name. Saw a girl at the HEB next door to work with the same name spelled the same way, too. Growing up I only ever saw it spelled the "normal" way (stick an A on the end of Michael), and McKayla and its variants seem to be confined to small children for now, I didn't realize there was a 90s trend for that particular name. Our two Tories (Tory and Tori, both under 25) complain about having the same name on a crew of like a dozen people, but let me tell you about my early-80s childhood spent being one of never less than four Elizabeths in any given room, and half the other girls were named Jennifer or Jessica.

There's a Howard Stern Tradio prank call where the host talks to a real caller named "Larvis".

There was a kid in 7th grade named Mike Hunt. I mean he was from the sticks but what the gently caress parents would do that? And a girl named Kandy Korn.

Dick Chopp, MD is a urologist, because of course he is, and yes, he goes by Dick. He has a great sense of humor about being a urologist named Dick Chopp, and apparently if you get a vasectomy from him you can get an "I got Chopped" T-shirt.

So for shits and gigs I am on some sort of baby name blog. They have a page where they provide some zippy alternatives to some popular names, so I thought I would post some: Instead of: Jackson Try: Jackman, Jackston (wtf are these) Instead of: Aiden Try: Alden, Arden, Adriel, Adden, Alvin Instead of: Liam Try: Eliam, Hiram, Kiam, Leamon, Leland, Riam (Kiam? Riam?) Instead of: Noah Try: Koah, Noran, Noi, Neo (Neo just lol) Instead of: Mason Try: Brayson, Eason, Magnus, Makson, Matson Instead of: Oliver Try: Oscar, Otis, Apollo, Sol, Gulliver (imagine naming your kid Gulliver in 2017) Instead of: Zoe Try: Posey, Zaya, Zia, Ziva, Zadie, Zailey, Zoelle, Noe (pronounced No-ee??) genetic_knockout has a new favorite as of 06:10 on Dec 31, 2016 |

I would love to see preschool classes full of Alvins, Hirams, and Otises. Edit: On-topic -- a cousin of mine is having a kid, and she plans to name him August Harold, after our grandfather. I think this is kind of badass but expect the cognitive dissonance of a rowdy toddler named "August" will be amazing.

People just use the term when they mean something conflicts with what it sounds like it should be. No one has used the term correctly in years. I can't tell if this is ironic or not, because I no longer know what that word means either, assuming I ever did.
