Asiina posted:Now that a lot of my friends are having kids, it's funny to see the naming patterns. The people with super typical names with only one common spelling are giving unusual names or names spelled differently, whereas people who have names that can be spelled in lots of different ways are naming their kids something that could only reasonably be spelled one way. There are 17,000 people with my exact same first, middle and last name in the US. If I have a kid I'll probably give them a cool name spelled normally, I like "josephine" for a girl and "Sawyer" for a boy

It was an older name that wasn't used very much anymore but that everyone still knew, it had one standard spelling, and it could be shortened to Abbie which I think is absolutely adorable. And then...

My last name is Darrow and my family pronounces it so it rhymes with arrow. The joke in our family is that if either my brother or I have a kid, we would name it Bowen. Although we should probably spell it as Bowan.

My name is weird af and I have to spend a not insignificant amount of time explaining it to everyone I meet. I don't know if I'm going to have kids, but if I do they are getting fairly generic names.
