Father was a James Joyce scholar. Terrible name. Worse dad. I wonder if he goes by John now.


"Stin"-jin is weird- it's usually pronounced sin-jin. Apparently it's similar to how Sinclair evolved from St. Clair.

I know a lot of my friends are on DCUM, so I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned my daughter's name - Amethyst

I really dislike the Greek and Roman mythology names. I’ve met two kids named Apollo and one named Atlas.

The oddest name I’ve personally encountered is Fenix.

Quark rolls out like Clark. Quasar sets the kid up for too much expectation


I knew a kid growing up named Qasar (he was Pakistani-American, pronounced KAH-ser) and teachers would always call the poor kid Quasar.

Is it supposed to be pronounced Sin Jin?

+1 I've heard Sinjin in movies or maybe it was a show? I don't think it was a bad name.
I like unique names so kids aren't relegated to skinny Miles, Old Miles or Miles S
