This is a beautiful thread about names. I will add that if you meet someone with what you think is an unusual or interesting name, the kindest thing you can do is not ask them about it. You'll be sparing them a canned conversation they're really tired of. They'll tell you later!https://twitter.com/random_walker/status/1199301468941160450 …
