    I think some of these names are circumstantially bad, and others are objectively terrible. For example, Ledger isn't a good name today, but it's at least an actual name of an actual person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leodegar

    Klynt, on the other hand, is just objective awful.

    I think we should make it much easier for people to change their names the first time. Like FIFA's one time switch.

    I'm gonna imagine there's a strong tmb division re: naming kids, especially girls, after grateful dead songs.

    Girl I know named Althea. Great song. Not sure I'd go so far as to name my kid after it

    "Alright, I like the idea of Rodger but is there any other way to change it up?"
    "Rodger, hmmmm, um.....Rodger, Rodge, Rod, Dodger? No no that's stupid. Todger? What do you think of that?"

    I mean, if it is Haze that would be worthy of laughing. But, Hayes as a maiden name given to a child isn’t that odd to me.

    i saw his mom and was in Clemson, so I just assumed it was some fucked up white trash spelling. the reality that is could be Hayes did not cross my mind until now.
