People make such a big deal of naming their kids. Just give them regular old names and call it a day. How about Paul? I guarantee everyone will feel indifferent to it, so it’s a winner.

I wonder how Maua would feel if they named her Paul instead.

Ya know, I never really processed it before, but that’s Frank Herbert making a Greek mythology pun/spoiler: the atreides

call it a day

If they were afraid that the name Moana might be bullied at school, then Day would maybe be even worse

I know a few Days, they were never made fun of for their name. Some puns sometimes, but I feel like Moana could be more prone to it.

Sorry… this was a joke, based on OP saying “call it a day” in a post about name giving

Never met a Paul I liked. Clearly your statement is false.

Paul Rudd? Though, maybe that’s just cause you’ve never met him.

Paul Rudd is so charismatic you feel like you’ve met him even if he’s only on your TV screen.

So many good names to reuse. I say we pull out some victorian names, we’ve gotten past the “that’s my grandma” part of the cycle so it’s about due pretty soon.

Paul is a weird name for a girl. I’d rather go with McKenzie or Murphy or Noah. Now those are some girly names.
