Me (earlier today, trying to name a character): His name will be [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] because [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] was the only one brave enough to kill the giant! (It’s supposed to be a ‘miracle’ baby)
Me (later today, halfway through service (in church)): [name_u]Or[/name_u] I possibly got my bible stories mixed up, & [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] was in the lion’s den (still brave… just not what I thought) & it was [name_u]David[/name_u] who faced the giant. 
(Insert ‘open hand, insert face’ meme here).

In History class, students talking about the names of the kids in the scenario we were analyzing
“John is such a boring name.”
“John is like, the most common name ever.”
The kid next to me looks something up
Kid: “Actually, Liam was the most popular boy’s name in 2021”
Me: (scrolling mindlessly through Namberry) Well, duh.
Kid: What?
Me: Everyone knows that.

When you decide to find names for your future kiddos that honor your cultures and then remember you’re like 20 different nationalities~

I keep getting this be a scout ad while watching youtube and every time I think it’s a Berry’s combo.
Like seriously, I think a berry created a website for their beloved combo [name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u]. Honestly I’m starting to like it.

Berries after writing the most thoughtful, thorough, and all around amazing post: anyways sorry that probably didn’t make any sense!
I see this all the time, you are all so much better at it than you think you are!

My toxic trait is that sometimes I don’t vote for combos that contain names in my top 5 even if I like the combo because I don’t want to encourage the use of the name.

I love classic boy names. Especially nice and soft sounding ones so that made me laugh

I’ve definitely had this thought before! I think that’s why I steer clear of any “rugged” boys names 
I like [name_u]French[/name_u] [name_f]Princess[/name_f] names and [name_u]French[/name_u] [name_u]Prince[/name_u] names lol
