Senna is an actual herb, which relieves constipation and acts as an emetic, IIRC.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know what's a really easy conclusion to come to? When someone says that a name spikes in popularity that the 800% or whatever has something to do with how many kids are being named that name. And I'm not even going to quibble over if it's a middle name or a first.
But what I'm really not considering is "attracting the biggest spikes in views". I find I actually don't care about that. I don't count that as a "strongest baby name influence" until it comes out the other end and the social security administration records start reflecting something.
Also, how can you be "boldly individualistic" and "hottest"? And Cinna needs a female version, so it's not one of the ones that shares "a transcendence of traditional gender identity". Any guesses for the rationale behind the chick version?

Yeah, I think I'd stick to Basil and Rosemary for herb-based baby names.

Another generation of people who will always have to spell their names. Of course, anymore, people still ask me how to spell Connie. "Is that with a K? Is there a Y at the end?"
If I meet someone named Bahb, I may hunt down their parents and smack them.

Because books.
And thus Senokot! Ugh.
Arya is gorgeous. And Theon, character aside, isn't as nice a name as Theo.

Cinna Mon for boys?

Context aside, I'd use the name Theon before Theo. Hypocritical for me to say, but Theo always sounded unfinished to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And thus Senokot! Ugh.
Ha! Note to self: don't name child Senna.
I've come across a couple women named Cinnamon.
My dumb herb-name story is that my cousin named her son Sage years after my neighbors named their daughter Sage, so my first reaction was literally, "Isn't that a girl's name??" Der. And Ugh.

But it's got the nice round O sound at the end! The N softens it too much for me.
But I love names that sound like that. I went through a phase where I wanted to name every one of the male characters in my romances Leo.
