Speaking of names, seen on Twitter: Schadoh.
Shadow, I guess? With ridiculous spelling? ICK.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.
'Serenity'
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yeeeaaahhhh, that makes me think of Homer and "D'oh!" That's unfortunate. I see a nickname in the offing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I even got started on the misnamings, etc, of Jamaicans. Or just my family. 'Tis epic.
I've been married for 115.88 Kardashians.
HUMPHRIES. Get heteronormative, will you?
Hey, what do boy fishes use to fertilise eggs, eh? I mean, is it something they could stick inside a girl? I'm trying to work out merman sex.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, Kate, names are really, really hard. Hec and I intensely disliked each other's boy names and were cooly indifferent shading into mildly hostile to most of each other's girl names, including much-beloved family names. If Matilda had been a boy, she might still be nameless.
And I feel your pain on having to let go of a name you'd had your heart set on. It's trivial in the long run, but right in that moment it really is a little sad, especially if it's a name with a rich personal or family history.
Mr. Flowersocks sounds wonderful - you two sound like characters in one of your own stories (especially the one about the thrifter who agrees to help a nice stranger clear out his grandparents' house; if he has a secret locked attic or basement or a lot of startlingly random family treasures lying around, then obviously you have in fact written your own future).
I'm glad Byron is still hanging in there, beloved and loving. I hope all his days are happy ones right to the end.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I think most fish just splooge all over the eggs once they are laid, but sharks have something they stick inside the female.
Er, not that I know anything about fish sex really. Oh billytea! Where are you?

There must be a slit down there somewhere.
My boss just managed to extract my political leanings out of me. Jesus fuck. Nobody does that. How did he do that? Motherfucker.

Egad, did I really just say "splooge"? How crass of me.
