Isn't Iseult a variation of Isolde? I'm surprised it wasn't already there. Maybe it's making a reappearance.

I guarantee Curie is on that list because of Fallout 4.

are you yet living?

Pippi (or Pippy) is not uncommon where I live (regional Australia). But it's usually short for Phillipa, not a name in its own right.

Fun fact: In Australia, a pipi (pronounced 'pippy') is a type of clam. As such, it's the word a lot of little girls are taught to use as the euphemistic, "child-friendly" term for their vagina.

Drizzt: for when you really want your son's name to sound like an angry wasp preparing to attack.

Surprised they didn't mitigate it to Dresden or something.

Yes I am aware that it's a D&D name. What I don't get is people naming their kids Drizzt 20 years after the books were popular. Though I guess nerds my age are finally reproducing.

Or worse, she (or he?) is named after the Youtube channel who did Pranks In The Hood and other prank/"social experiment" videos, sometimes in collaboration with the Bradberry brothers before dabbling in Elsa/Spiderman/Joker videos.

They're still popular and being made, that's probably why, too.

Today I packaged orders for Glendaly and Rushi, and then later met Chelcy and her daughter Brinly. (Could be Brinlee; I only heard her say it so I don't know the spelling.)

I can't make fun of a woman named Bacon, since I have crush on Sosie Bacon, daughter of Kevin.



Also because Kevin Bacon is a cool guy. Even if he did name his daughter with something that reminds me of sausage.

Tim Allen's real last name is Dick.

quote:

“Okay—I’m a Dick. Yes. I am a Dick. My closest friends know I’m a Dick. In fact, my brothers are Dicks, my cousins are Dicks, and my sister—before she was married—a Dick. My dad? One incredible Dick, and the Dick responsible for me being a Dick. Timothy Alan Dick. Some of us are just born lucky.”

I seem to remember one version of that where he mentioned having an Uncle Richard - a double Dick... and he named his son Peter.
