You know that game where you name the first name you think of each letter that has a zillion variations on this site (one of them being this [name_m]Tiger[/name_m] cub’s version)? Well, someone on Instagram thought it would be a good idea to offer strangers money if they could complete the challenge in under a minute, and I’d like to share one poor victim’s response to this… money grab. (I assure you, it’s worth it.)
(If anyone thinks it matters-it probably does-both the influencer running the challenge and the stranger on the street have OBVIOUS [name_f]British[/name_f] accents)
A - [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m]
B - [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m]
C - [name_m]Caesar[/name_m] (spelling-def a Brit)
D - [name_m]Daedalus[/name_m]
E - [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
F - [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
G - [name_m]Godfrey[/name_m]
H - [name_m]Horatio[/name_m]
I - [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
J - [name_m]Jeremias[/name_m]
K - [name_f]Kensington[/name_f]
L - [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
M - [name_m]Mark[/name_m]
N - [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
O - [name_m]Octavius[/name_m]
P - [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
Q - [name_m]Quintus[/name_m]
R - [name_m]Reginald[/name_m]
S - [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
T - [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
U - [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
V - [name_m]Vanderbilt[/name_m]
W - Wentworth
X - [name_m]Xander[/name_m]
Y - [name_m]Yorick[/name_m]
Z - [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m]
Thoughts:
- This may be because he’s a guy, but I’m sure he meant for all of these to be masc names (EXCEPT KENSINGTON. KENSINGTON IS FEMME. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.)-which is interesting as I didn’t just include femme names on my version.
- [name_m]Vanderbilt[/name_m], Wentworth and [name_m]Yorick[/name_m] (okay, [name_m]Yorick[/name_m] is arguable) sound more like surnames to me tbh. (But hypothetically, Wentworth could be a nod to a certain Survivor contestant I’m lowkey obsessed with
) - I feel like all of these names fit a certain vibe-the name of which isn’t coming to me at the moment-other than [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m]. [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m] feels too wild-celeb-baby-name for this list (even though it’s not actually THAT wild, but, well, it fits).
- Speaking of the vibe, having been on NB for 4 years, I’d expect myself to like this specific vibe (in general) more than I actually do-that being said, I DO like more names that FIT this vibe than I thought I would.
So what do you guys think? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like this list? What are your faves? Mine are [name_m]Caesar[/name_m] (surprisingly), [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Xander[/name_m]!
