It was “Ea-nasir”, until that one guy ruined the name for the rest of us.

He used to throw killer parties with many jugs of beer and all the figs you can eat (which is usually about 4 until he starts threatening you to save some for others). Not sure how he makes so much in the copper shipper/receiver industry.

My name is awesome but I would literally dox myself. I can't tell anyone because I'm actually the only person that has it (except for 2 other people)

Unless my math is wrong, 3 people with the same name doesn't make you the only one. Make it make sense!

Alexander and Benjamin for boys. Catherine and Elizabeth for girls.
Simply because those names have a lot of nicknames available.

The best are like James and Mary. Names so common they help you blend in and commit crimes.
(Okay not actually my reasoning but I think common names are usually a good choice. Don't need to be that special you get a unique name)
Coastal_Explorer@feddit.online · 10 pts · 151d
This can also have the opposite effect. There are a number of cases where the wrong person has been arrested simply for sharing a name with someone else that has a warrant for their arrest.
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 151d
James and Mary are super neat and combine with every kind of surname. Maybe that's why they're so common??
mushroommunk@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 151d
They're so common in America and Europe because religion mostly if I had to guess. Then from there people often use names from their family and it just kept growing.

You are correct, biblical names stick around because they are written down and people like familiar things.

Es el oficial, fue una actualización gratuita en Steam.

Liz, short for Lizard. “Liz? Is that short for Elizabeth?” “No….”
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 151d
I love calling various Lizzies "Lizard." And Sally is short for 'Salamander.' Bill is short for 'Billiards,' ¹ Leo is short for Leopard and maybe Lee is short for Leezard as well. Penny is short for Penguin.
That said, we do have a lot of funny animal first names.
::: spoiler ¹ Billiards is not an animal admittedly. Sometimes it can be short for Shoebill

Women: Sophia, Carmen or Elizabeth
Men: Not much can top William.
I swear, both William and Elizabeth have the most nicknames, Bill, Will, liam and all the lys options. Elizabeth, beth, liz, eliza, libby, betty, Beth, Ellie…

The real question is, why do people pick the names they pick. Probably some positive experiences with those names.
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 151d
Yes, and I actually have a mental list of names (for my hypothetical children) that I wouldn't touch with a flagpole because of bad experiences with people of those names. Just feels tainted for me. Can be fixed by meeting a good person with that name. There's one name where everyone I've met with it - like five different people - has been an asshole.

When I was a baby punk I was an insecure try-hard and got dogged on for it by the older punks. I was bequeathed a nickname that while not a total insult, was not the best and sort of an inside joke about my desperation to be “punk”. A lot of those older punks left the scene in their early 20s, but I kept on and discovered that people I didn’t know knew me by that name even if they didn’t know it was originally an insult. It’s still with me 30 years later, simultaneously cringe because it’s so, so “nehhh, PUNK ROCK!” sounding, but at the same time, punk as fuck and kinda badass. Overall it’s been a positive experience, but knowing its origin helps keep my ego in check when I lean too hard into “punker than thou”.

Robert.
So much versatility. Rob, Robb, Robby, Robbie, Robert, Bob, Bobby, Bobbert...

James laughs at Robert
You can be James when you meet the king, Jimmy to your mates or jimbob when you want to be a tool. Jane if you want to be female, though not a lot of good songs about Jane. Like the band Janes's addiction or Janey's got a gun

Me and the wife made it a point to choose names with actual meaning for our kids. The youngest certainly lives up to hers. She has a name fit for a warrior and she is a fierce one.

Audra
I first read that name in a book when I was a teen and I’ve loved it ever since. My Warcraft rogue Audacity was even partially named using it.

Judas, Trismagistus, Skrillex, Hideo, Jamboree, Moonbeam, Barry, Ganon, Hadjar, Boromir, Grendel, Jesus, Annana, Jone, Bess, Roger, Sugarloaf, Ponder, Basil, and Ernest. Those are the best ones, but there are many others.

If you can go with multiple names, I do like my parents' reasoning: pick one interesting/local name that we like, and one that works in many cultures/languages. Something like Pierre Henry.
