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

Evangeline is a Grateful Dead song--that's not pretentious!
Uh, that’s not the first time the name was introduced to the world.

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.
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.

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