My wife and I are the same age but I started using the internet around 1999 whereas she didn't use it until many, many years later.
It's fun because I can show her old memes for the first time. She missed the entire "lol so random" era of internet memes (think things like badger badger badger, "my spoon is too big", forehead shavecut, animutations, etc) and doesn't quite understand it. It's all we had back then!
My first kitten was called Rails, but be run away. The second one, Ruby, but she died from sickness the second day we had her home. The third one was Rails 2, but we called him just Rails, he's 10 yo now. The fourth one wad called PowerBI, buy ny wife didn't like and it was a lame name anyway so we changed it to Sushi.
I did not include any //es with the https:, but I put just the one usual pair with the ttps:. Oh. Hmm. Yes, it appears I have indeed Brainfucked the link

You'll have to settle for naming your child after one of their public keys, but then your child will only be able to talk to them.

A friend of mine named his dog Byte. The dog is very playful, and has the habit of running in the direction of other people he meets.
When the dog does that my friend tries to call him back shouting: "BYTE!! BYTE!!". People get really scared when this happens 😂
Okay, not so funny if you are the one being approached by the dog.
