THANK YOU; was looking for this. "Nice to meet you! I'm British" in an American accent is the best impression of me I've ever seen. Well done, Ms. Bowden.

Was one of their parents a reporter or a secretary ? My mum spent a good chunk of her life writing predominantly in shorthand, and sometimes forgets not to shorthand-ise words (ie. removing unnecessary letters) when writing them in the latin alphabet.

Today I learned about a judge who attempted to put a stop to the horrific abuses in the Texas juvenile justice system. His name was William Wayne Justice. Billy Wayne Justice. One assumes he owned multiple huge hats.

That’s neat, I’ve always wanted to learn shorthand! Also I don’t know, I didn’t get to speak to them.

Probably just parents with bad taste. But it would be a neat story were that the case.

Dellicastelli is not a weird or unusual surname, but it's a lot of fun to say. e: also, the surname "Luck"

Triple posting. New client at work who shares a full name with the main character from a really popular teen drama of the late '90s/early '00s. He's just the right age to've been in the target demographic when the show was popular, too. Poor lad.

A co-worker had a kid recently with the name 'Alfred'. You don't often see that nowadays.

I think I've mentioned it itt before, but a kindergarten class I taught had a Ned, and it was easily the oddest name I came across as a teacher, despite the array of snowflake names. It's also a name that really doesn't "fit" on a 5-year-old. I also know someone who named their son Stanley, which was slightly odd. But the fact that they used the nickname Stan for their infant was jarring every single time I heard it.

A few years ago I met a pre teen neighborhood kid named Elmer. The only other Elmer I ever knew of besides Fudd was a weird old man who drove the school bus and was missing a thumb.

I knew a kid named Elmer in summer camp who was a few years older than me he was a junior, so he went by EJ because he hated being called Elmer.

Back when I thought we'd be having a kid at some point I bounced the idea of farmer names off my wife and she put the kibosh on it. No Henries, no Susans, no Wilfords. Also no Hectors, which I regret even more than losing the farmer names.

One of my brother's real first name is Frank but he goes by his middle name since he hates being named after his shithole dad but mostly because he thinks of it as an old man name and that no one under 30 is named Frank.

Whenever I see posts about young people with old names, Mamie Gummer (Meryl Streep's daughter) always comes to mind immediately. It's just so aggressively matronly.

Mabel/Mable is also coming back in for girls and that's also a very matronly, sweater knitting grandma name.

OwlFancier posted:I think the old man names are coming back into fashion generally. Names come in cycles like that. A generation actively avoids the names old people had when they were growing up, so their kids never hear them and don't have any negative associations.
