@astronomerritt I named my eldest after a female assassin, they decided they preferred the Greek goddess of the night, Nyx.
@matthew Oh, so they went from "badass name" to "BADASS NAME". Love that for them.

guys, what’s the coolest first name you’ve ever seen or heard in person? doesn’t have to be a name you’d give your own kid, just something that made you go “damn, what a cool name”.
I ask because one of my nephew’s besties is called Endeavour and that is a COOL name.
(his mates call him Noun, which is hilarious)
I'm pretty jealous of cool names because our parents gave us the most 80s American soap opera names possible. To be fair, they weren't very common in the UK, but even still.

@roknrol Wait, I assumed that was just your internet handle. You changed your name to Roknrol? That's wild and I love it.
@astronomerritt It's on my passport and everything 😄
When I decided to change it I noted since most people that knew me, knew me online, it just kind of made sense. My mother even prefers it to the one she gave me too.

@roknrol I love this so much, and I adore that even your mum is on board. Good on you.

@astronomerritt I was *almost* named Lemuel by my parents, but they decided I would be bullied at school.

@astronomerritt That's my eldest child for you. #ProudDadMoment

@aoanla Oh my GOD. Lemuel! Like the Biblical king! Love an obscure Biblical name usually, but I have to say I'm not 100% sure about Lemuel...

@matthew feel free to tell 'em this random internet person thinks they chose an incredibly cool name. or not, of course :D

@astronomerritt My sisters were given french names that sound very exotic in the US: Yvette and LaVonne. I was named after my father because assholes have egos.

@astronomerritt not a cool name exactly, just a funny coincidence, but a former colleague whose wife was a school teacher told me that she once had two girls in her class both called “Unique”.

@astronomerritt Nobody in my family is French.
Yet.

@roknrol Oh ugh. I was going to say I don't understand why fathers do that, but, I mean, you said it yourself. Assholes have egos.

@hedders Oh dear. Bless their little hearts. I do think a lot of these virtue names are a lot to saddle a child with. What if Unique wants to be basic?

@astronomerritt My mother promised her dad on his deathbed that if she ever had a son, she'd give his name (James). Was a big fight after I was born over that. I was given James as my middle name, which was different than my dad's (John), but he insisted that I have 'Jr' tacked on anyway. 'Junior' was actually part of my name until I changed it.
A repulsive man. 'Asshole' is the nicer way of putting it. Calling him what he was would get a Youtube video demonitized.

@astronomerritt One of my besties from Uni called her daughter Persephone, which has inevitably been shorted to "Percy".

@astronomerritt I'm still happy to discover The Avengers was being repeated when I was born so I am named after Emma Peel.

@kittylyst I've always loved the idea of Persephone as a name, but always thought "that's just asking to be called Percy though", so I feel quite vindicated to learn I was right 😆

@roknrol He sounds like an absolute fucking dirtbag, pardon my French.

@Emmacox Now that's a pretty cool namesake!

@astronomerritt He's dead, and good riddance. No idea where he'd be politically these days, but he almost certainly wouldn't have voted for the black woman.

La Ue rispolvera la lista dei dazi di rappresaglia preparata lo scorso anno. Sullo sfondo, lo strumento anti coercizione, che a me continua a sembrare improbabile.
