And now that I've read the article, nephew maybe fits the trend. His name doesn't rhyme with Aidan, but it is probably linguistically related.
Also also, nice to see vw, though I'm guessing I've missed her. Love to you if you read this, bug!
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Hi, vw! Your father-in-law sounds like a wonderful man, and I'm so glad to hear that he is doing so well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I married a Stephen, and my cousin's partner is a Jonathan. Apparently we don't birth the ends-in-n-names, but we hitch 'em.
(Edit: totally not counting Eugene, because it really ends in "e", it's a totally different phonetic pattern, and anyway he was a huge asshole.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Both my nephews have names that end in n. (So does my niece. All three of the names are considered unisex these days, or at least I know of both male and female bearers of these names)

I have a Warren and a Glen, but there are really no young people in my family.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
A son and a FiL whose names end in 'n', neither of them a variant or a soundalike of Aidan.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
New hire was almost fired this morning. I'm willing to accept her misunderstanding of the schedule.
Isn't she the one who flaked and went home sick her first day but didn't bother to call to tell you? She sounds sketchy as hell.

Steph, yeah same. Although it wasn't her first day but her third.
I'm sure she thought she was going to be fired when I spoke to her today, and I think she can work out and is bringing some good experience to the table. But she's in the line and now knows it in the case of future infractions and her position is posted back online just in case.

Punishingly Intricate
She sounds sketchy as hell.
Yup.
My nephew has a name that ends in 'n' but neither of my brothers nor my father, nor my husband does. One of my 3 uncles does...no 2 do but one doesn't go by his 'n'-ending first name. Of my 6 boy cousins, 3 have names that end in 'n'.

Ugh. Roommate has still my paid the rent. She's not in town but when I texted her this weekend claimed she had mailed it with tracking, and that it should be here by Tuesday. It's Wednesday and still not here. Grrrrr.
