People make such a big deal of naming their kids. Just give them regular old names and call it a day. How about Paul? I guarantee everyone will feel indifferent to it, so it's a winner.

I wonder how Maua would feel if they named her Paul instead.

call it a day

If they were afraid that the name Moana might be bullied at school, then Day would maybe be even worse

Ya know, I never really processed it before, but that's Frank Herbert making a Greek mythology pun/spoiler: the atreides

Never met a Paul I liked. Clearly your statement is false.

:)

Paul Rudd? Though, maybe that's just cause you've never met him.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Paul Rudd is so charismatic you feel like you've met him even if he's only on your TV screen.

So many good names to reuse. I say we pull out some victorian names, we've gotten past the "that's my grandma" part of the cycle so it's about due pretty soon.
