I think fannish parents are far better off putting fannish names as a middle name. Then the kid can disavow it if they want to or embrace it if they want to, but no one else really has to know.

Ooof, frustrating from a HIPAA perspective. Like, there’s really no way to anonymously vent about someone’s name.

I always feel bad for the parents who coincidentally give pop culture names to their children. 'Elsa' is apparently a common one - I've met not one but two families that had to deal with the fallout of having grandmothers and in turn granddaughters with that name. On a related note as far as unfortunate names go, I also knew a Donald Trump who had to legally changed his name a few years ago.

You weren't one of the nurses in that "ick" TikTok, right?

Don't worry, I think we can all guess you've seen your share of Khaleesi names.

People's names are public information though? That's how they compile the most popular baby names? You can download the top 1,000 names and can request all the names.

Honestly? I find it much more depressing to go to school and university and work and everywhere else and meet a zillion people whose names are so ordinary that I all but have to take pictures of them and attach notes so that I can remember what completely generic boy-name or girl-name this particular one happens to have.

It especially sucks when a name was so popular that you've got five men or women in the same whatever and they wind up with nicknames and name variations because otherwise we'd all waste a lot of time on "right, so-and-so, but which one?" That's not better for people's self-esteem than having a really uncommon name.

So, I love it when I meet people who are legit named things like Ambrose and Anastasia and Sephiroth and - bless - Lucius. I'm sure there are a lot of things I would hate about your job, but I think knowing about more fandom names would not be among them.

(I'm less enthused with the older practice of giving little girls more whimsical but at the same time more frivolous names than boys ... things like Brandy and Candy and Savannah.)

Also, there are a lot of fandom names that people don't conclusively register as fandom names, because they're also common names. Those don't do me any good, because I don't care WHY their parents named them Luke, or Thomas, or William. But it seems rather unfair that the vitriol is saved for the ones that don't have a recent history of real-world people who bore their name before they did.

All of that said, I think employer's notions that it's okay to threaten their employees with dire consequences for not keeping what they see and hear on the job a complete secret is bullshit. You should be able to go home and vent. You should be able to come here and go into enough detail that I'm not having to guess at what you mean.

I don’t care what people name their kids as long as they use the standard spelling. FOH with that Destinnee and Jaxxsin shit.

[scissorsevered]

I think fannish names are pretty cool as long as they aren't super outlandish to the point where it would cause shit for the child. I remember this story about a guy and his wife who named their son Arthur after the character from Red Dead Redemption.

I'm laughing a little just imagining.

"There was an Alicent today, but at least it's not another Rhaenyra."
"Groot, seriously, they named the kid Groot."
"That makes six Elevens, do you think I should do something special if I'm there for five more?"
"Well, if you're going to name someone after an Elf, Arondir is a lot better than some."
"FFS, why would you even think about Grogu?"

[(Anonymous)]

I had a kiddo named Clark in class and I'm pretty sure his middle name was Kent. That kind of thing is cute imho, and easy for the kid to ignore if they aren't a fan. Naming your kid something like Mxyzptlk is just mean.

I haven't seen the sequel yet, but I thought they were so cute in the first movie. A lot of my friends dunked on the fact that Nancy ran off with a guy she had known for like an hour, but like, it's a Disney fairytale movie. They look nice together and they both deserved a happy ending. (Also IIRC there were one or two deleted scenes showing Nancy was secretly a Big Hopeless Romantic who actually did want a Prince Charming-type, so it makes more sense that she would go for Edward.)

For a second I thought this was my "plz turn this into a secret"-post aka I 100% agree OP. This show is so damn popular, so I tried and just... couldn't. Finally blacklisted the tag on tumblr after that.

At first I hated his redesign but it's growing on me and looks pretty good in motion. I've warmed up to the art style for the film too.

I dunno. Antis can call me names, but they can’t get me arrested for obscenity.

I didn't see it but I did sit all the way through the Star Wars Holiday Special back in the day and it can't be worse than that.

It is my BIGGEST marvel NoTP, I hate it so much. I think if I hadn't come from comics, their mcu dynamic would have appealed to me, but I just can't roll that way and the overwhelming popularity just turns me off even more.

What are you loving today and what are you hating?

[(Anonymous)]

Loving: I'm writing a saucy fic for my rare pair and I'm quite satisfied with a certain scene. Oh ho.
Hating: I am the only one who is writing saucy fic for this rare pare. Once again I have fallen for a ship with no other available fanworks online and I am left feeding myself if I wish to eat.
