(Dear 90s kids: come on in, the water is fine)

[CalBal]

I’m a 90s kid (well, 80s/90s). This is funny. .

I’m not too far past 30, I’m just being obnoxious

This prompted me to look up what they named their kid… What the holy fuck.

[Greyweld]

I’m all for unusual names, but also… the purpose of a name is to be a useful identifier in social context, isn’t it? I don’t feel like this reeeallly satisfies that.

Hopefully they aren’t like my Uncle’s parents who insisted on him going by “Kenneth” and not “Ken.” X isn’t toooo difficult to wrap your mind around as a nickname.

I brushed a ton of hair out of Boy Cat. The result was NSFW

Chocolate, please.

Who? What? I wasn’t born close enough to the 90s to get it.

[LadyDuck]

Kids born in the 90’s are about to turn 30.

Elon Musk and Grimes named their baby X Æ A-12.

[LadyDuck]

There’s a kid who’s going to go through life asking teachers to “Please call me Zach.”

OTOH it makes Jamie Oliver’s kids names seem utterly normal.

[nnls]

It’s just mean and hard,
As a kid who went through life having to spell my name (and also feeling ripped off I could never find pencil cases or mugs with my name) I feel sorry for them.

[JanetJackson]

An infectious laugh

I’m not that bad at math!!! That’s the part I got.

@nnls

Oh, so that’s who that is! That makes the name Kal-El seem downright normal. At least you can pronounce it. Now I need to see what Jamie Oliver’s children are named…

I feel way too seen.

[MonkeyJenga]

Same. This has recently expanded to egg cartons and milk jugs, since I can use them for seed starts and tomato covers.
