I live in the Allston neighborhood and I probably wouldn’t want to associate it with a child since it’s known for it’s plethora of drunk college students and general mayhem. Seeing Mattapan up there made me laugh. Thanks for the shout out = )

Actually when I first moved to boston from the midwest and moved into Allston I thought that it could make a nice mn place name…it’s just such a silly place though, I really do love it a lot of great cheap laces to eat especially if you love asian food. ok done hi-jacking the thread!
I actualy think Mattapan is a cool name but the funny part is just imagining people’s reactions to a kid called mattapan, all i think of is the trolley
