So, what's wrong with the name 'Horatio?'

Nothing.  It's a mathematically perfect name.  But when you talk about yourself in the third person, it creeps out the rest of the galaxy.

"They only ever saw what was in the mirror.  I always saw what was beyond..."

I was trying for the rhyming thing. Now I know better.

Quote from: Hydra009 on September 01, 2023, 01:18:55 PMKhalesi was the worst.  Because it's a title, not a name.  And because the character's fate wasn't yet known.  Lots of remorse with that one.

I didn't even know about Khalesi. :/

QuoteAlso, parents should bear in mind that bureaucrats are going to have to spell that name and school bullies will be searching every word that rhymes with it, so be careful.

Exactly. It beats me how do they miss something like this.

Nothing, if you like bridge.

549th most popular name for girls in the US, that's about 560 baby girls per year for around 5 or so years when the show was super popular. So it's a pretty rare name, but it went from absolutely no one to pretty rare.

Had to Google that.

To be absolutely fair, so are ´baron´, ´princess´, ´earl´ and ´Duke´.

But I wholeheartedly agree.

Khalesi is far better than some I've seen. "Yeah it's spelled b.o.b but pronounced Jeffries.

Those are also bad names imho.

If I had a little girl, I'd want to name her Barbarianna. 😉

Her mother might well object, however.

The batcave also violates zoning ordinances and building codes galore.  Speeding, unlawful imprisomment (when Batman personally abducts perps), and unauthorized access of police records.

And don't get me started on the Batman credit card, which requires bare minimum identity fraud and falsified financial statements.

So my ex can't get in?

Yeah, wondering about this does make the escapist fantasy better.
