What's Petrulli?

Thay would be so funny!

I know a boy called Willow and he gets made fun of. He compensates by being super aggressive. I wonder if they would have the same result if they called him William, Warren, Winston, etc...

This reminds me of Johnny Cash’s song, A Boy Named Sue.

I like a lot of mild hippie names like Wren and Sage. Lyric is pretty. I love Jagger and Hart (celebrity names).

Generally I think hippy names are fine and these days they will be super fine. All the resume stuff we think will not be an issue in 20-30 years because all these kids are getting names and there are a million think pieces about not judging names. And this is a good thing. But the people reviewing your kids resume is going to be a current gen z-er, the most accepting and do your thing generation ever.

But don't name your daughter after the god of war.

+1 and he wasn't even a cool god or anything. He cried and threw tantrums whenever he got hurt and he was a jerk. If you're going to go with a name from mythology, at least choose a mythical figure who isn't an a-hole.

I need to hear these surfer names! The only surfer names I know are Orion and Kai.
