I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know
the template would later branch out to any negative word, but the original naming scheme for sith lords was darth + a negative word starting with ‘in’, with the front cut off. e.g. Darth (In)vader, Darth (In)sidious, etc. in a return to tradition, my star wars property centres the fearsome Darth Cestuous

thinking about how my old university’s automatic email generation gave my friend Andy Ryan the email address ARYAN88
Way, way back in the day, because I am ancient, our university assigned us email addresses you couldn’t have changed, which included your first initial, middle initial, part of your surname, and the last five digits of your social security number. They stopped doing that after people kicked up a huge fucking fuss, but…
… I think I’d still rather have that one than your friend’s. Damn.
My old job assigned me “cajones” and I had to very, very gently tell them that I could not and would not send professional emails with it because my email would be balls@company.com
I just cackled so loud it scared the dogs.
My mom had a colleague whose name was something like Sara Tan and was given “[email protected]”
When I was in college, Windows used to leave the username of the last user who logged in in the login form, and a bunch of my friends became obsessed with he username (not the person, just the username) of some poor young woman named (I believe) Sarah M Boomgartner.
I think we should make Puritan naming customs cool again, but like, updated to reflect Millenial values. So we can have names like Resistance Jones, Self-Care Williams, and I-Am-Not-Throwing-Away-My-Shot Anderson.
