There was a post of some mother DEFENDING THIS IDEA IN ALL CAPS, how "original" names are the new normal, so no one will give a second look to "Heraeanna Goldensun Landolakes" in the future.
Which is funny, since I've been noticing an influx in "old-fashioned" names lately. Things like Emma and Olivia are coming back, it seems. Which I'm all for, frankly. Nothing wrong with names like that, they manage to be "original" without being... unpronounceable. Or something out of a bad teenage fantasy novel.
P.S. I started reading this site. As cringe-worthy as it is, it's totally the laugh I needed today.
