An interesting thing I’ve noticed about American baby-naming culture, right, is that Winter is considered an acceptable thing to name a kid, and Autumn is considered an acceptable thing to name a kid, and Summer is considered an acceptable thing to name your kid, but if you name your kid Spring, a heavily armed extrajudicial kill team gets deployed to your last known location by CPS’s Ethical Child Nomenclature Taskforce ( (Est. 2013, motto “An orphan made of every Daenerys”)
Name your kid April, May or June, and you’re aces, those three are all okay for some reason. Name your kid August, alright, they’re squinting, but that was a name before it was a month, so it squeaks through. Name them January? Alright, there’s a van on your corner and they’re licking their lips, I mean you’re really tapdancing on the outskirts of the accretion disk here. February? March? You can pray, but it won’t help. They’re gonna use The Clamp
Why the fuck would language evolve in such a completely illogical way like this

Humans invented writing as a way of communicating information and it’s pretty great on the whole but we maybe did not adequately prepare for depreciation in legibility
My name is unique. I can confidently say that not only am I pretty sure there is no one else with my given name/family name combo on the planet, I’m pretty sure there never has been. I am the only [name] that has ever lived.
So tell me in the tags please, how common your full name is, whether you’ve ever encountered someone with the same name, and (if applicable) what it’s like seeing celebrities or people in the news or whatever who have your name.
