A lot of baby name books will tell you when the name first came into use, and when and where it was most popular.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Ann, that's a ferret.
"Cinna" makes me think of Julius Caesar.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The name site says it's a girl's name--I'm assuming they have numbers behind that. The page is incredibly low on data, but they do seem adamant on female. It's a female name in Korra (Korra's mother) and in Twilight, so since it's not actually Ayrton's first name, that's two instances of it being a woman's first name and none of a man's.

I know some sources have information--it's just that the one that's the source of this "peak" has got remarkably little where I can find it (and of course, I'm contributing to the peak by looking at the page, since they're not reporting on people being named Senna, just pageviews). How precisely self-feeding, just like they wanted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
More Batman wisdom, this time from Donald Trump:
“Many people have been asking me to review things, especially movies,” Trump says during his opening remarks. “So last night I went to the opening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ which is commonly known as ‘the Batman movie.’”
I have not watched the clip, as Trump annoys me.

Hey, can someone editty help me right my write wrongs?
I'm not sure how to punctuate parentheses (I swear we just called them brackets--is that a British thing?) properly. If I'm interjecting with a sentence fragment, do I capitalise the first word? What if it's multi-sentence? Do I capitalise the first word then? Do I need to terminate the final sentence with appropriate punctuation? Can I ever put a parenthetical (I guess you couldn't really have a bracketed remark--it does sound lame) remark after a sentence? And then there's no punctuation after that, is there?

Because books.
I'd need to see the sentence you're trying to punctuate.
