#uncommon names

[yourhonoriwoulddieforthem]

Marauders/HP fans - how do you feel about seeing some of the less common Marauders/HP names in other media? For example, I love the names Sirius and Regulus, but it feels weird to even consider using it for a character in an original work when I associate it so strongly with this fandom.

More and more uncommon names are excluded from the SSA name dataset.

For privacy reasons, the SSA name dataset excludes very uncommon names.

The graph below shows the percent of Social Security card applicants that have been excluded from the SSA name dataset each year.

Per the stated limitations of the SSA name dataset:

To safeguard privacy, we exclude from our tabulated lists of names those that would indicate, or would allow the ability to determine, names with fewer than 5 occurrences in any geographic area. If a name has less than 5 occurrences for a year of birth in any state, the sum of the state counts for that year will be less than the national count.

The SSA also publishes a table with the number of Social Security card applicants by year. This table contains total numbers and not specific names, so applicants with very uncommon names are accounted for in this table. Each year, there is a gap between the number of Social Security card applicants and the number of births accounted for in the SSA name dataset.

I love the BW protag names because someone at GameFreak was like "hmm, what Normal American Names do we give our Normal American Protagonists? I know, Hilda and Hilbert"

my name is morgan and it constantly scares the shit out of me when you post about morgan dog. she is very cute and I am glad to share a name with her. i get frightened by things very easily however. i love her.

Emey can I change you and ask for number 5 with Seth/Allison? I understand if not considering you don't draw Seth often <3

Maybe not but that is not to say I won’t draw him 😘

Requests are open until the end of Dec ‘23 💕

The only reason Zare Leonis and Ketsu Onyo weren’t recurring characters was because their dynamic with Ezra and Sabine was SO gay they couldn’t have hidden it.

People really be out here like "don't name your kid stupid crap, they'll live with that name for the rest of their life." And then you'll see all these non-binary bitches naming themselves crazy shit like "Beyblade" because it's their favorite anime. And even when they give themselves "normal" names, it's because it's the same name as one of their favorite characters (it's me, I'm bitches)

3 of them!

The third and final part of turning me and my siblings into demon slayers: my brother! He’s the only one out of the three of us that exercises regularly and actually does martial arts so he gets to be the strongest :P he’s also the tallest, like 10 whole inches taller than both me and my sister but he’s actually the middle child! And he’s only a year and a half older than me :)

For his weapon I wanted something similar to a staff but also containing a blade, because he showed me some staff forms one time for his martial arts club and it was really cool :0 so I’m not sure how viable the twin-blade staff would actually be in battle or how it would be made (but if the sword smith village can make kanroji a whole whip out of a metal blade then I think they can definitely make a scabbard out of metal). The way it works is that when sheathed, the blade is a full staff, and either side individually can unsheathe to make a spear. It can also separate down the middle to become two swords, which is much more effective for traditional breathing styles. Shougen is the only one strong enough out of the siblings to fight effectively without the assistance of wisteria poison.

its always funny to me how everyone in hs immediately react to mc's last name being walker as if thats not like top 30 most common last names

[solradguy]

I am so easily distracted by sad monster men with beautiful hair and claws and perhaps a large sword

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

anyone else fan of wolf 359? anyone else remember that episode where they get into the whole story of that old crew getting copied by the aliens and then the captain blowing up the ship so the aliens could never make it back to earth? funny how that episode was called theta scenario, wasnt it? funny coincidence

yeah. did anyone else also not remember the names of those copied crew members until they checked the script just now because uhhh

i mean it means nothing but it's weird that it happened twice right

[pansyfemme]

i didnt choose the name jude because of the song, but its not like that waaaaasnt a factor tbh

[mee1414]

Ok but like how do the winged shoes Luke gave Percy work

The activation phrase is maia

Does it go off if they're walking in public and someone's talking about a friend named Maya cause that'd be funny especially if the trio didn't hear or pay attention to this random mortal and now Grover's 10 feet in the air
