Someone once said (behind my back) that my DS’s name was “f***ing basic.” Imagine talking about a newborn (or his parents!) that way.

A lot of people are deeply insecure and will reach for anything to feel superior.

(Also, my son’s name is Henry, since I know people will ask. I know it’s simple and popular right now, I don’t care, and he’s a goddamn delight, thank you very much)

This is the part where you have to tell us the asshole’s kids’ names.

I’m curious too.

I don’t think there really are any. Maybe some surnames are intended to convey self-importance.

Um, almost no one picks their own first name, so how could this scream anything at all about a person?

Well, unlike that asshole, I don’t make fun of small children. I will tell you that they are both “family names” and that whenever anyone asks about them she says “oh, it’s actually a faaaaaamily name” like she’s related to the Queen of England or something.

She sucks.

Evangeline is a Grateful Dead song--that's not pretentious!

Uh, that’s not the first time the name was introduced to the world.

I know someone that insists her Isabella is a family name and she’s actually descended from Queen Isabella (of Spain I guess? I can’t remember..). Sure, your Isabella is unique, unlike the one million other isabellas running around. Thank
