Benedict (given name) Puns

"But what do you think we should call the baby?"

It’s called the Moo-trix.

Please don’t shoot this down as ‘anti-eth’ or ‘complaining about gas fees’. I’m just curious what keeps other people here holding Eth? I am basically holding mine until fees drop and I can exit or the roll ups save me.

The other chains are more readily scalable, generally quicker and cheaper. Yes they aren’t as ‘big’ but, let’s be honest, for most of our purposes that is pretty irrelevant.

Calling her “Hilary” is giving her actual non exotic non unique birth name an exotic spin that muddies the waters and could lead someone to think that her birth given name did have a Spanish influence from the start, which it did not. It’s just Hillary.

Please and thank you.

Edit: I’m all for the nickname variations, btw. I’m not in anyway against those, I use them too. The need for proper spelling of her name only applies to when we are referring to her by her birth given name, so that it is clear that she was not given an exotic variation of the American name Hillary at birth.

I'm not referring to things like Bloody Mary but more like Charles the Mad

Like for me back in 98 when I first played I used some friends’ names and one celebrity (don’t ask me why haha) with the exception of Glenn and Janus. Once I had the latter in my party, I changed it to reflect his true name since he was on our side. Just curious to hear everyone’s names.

Currently I'm in the design phase for my OC—who will be the Main Character of a Fanfiction that will be hundreds of chapters long, if not well into one thousand. The MC's current name is "Sol(e)". Originally I was debating between Sol or Sole, so I described it to some Discord buddies as Sol(e). However, I now unironically adore the name even though it was special characters in it. I wouldn't be surprised if an eccentric name like this turns off potential readers and Grammar enthusiasts. But I really like the way it looks.

What is the wackiest name you've given a character?

Top 3 Offenders

Dr Strange: Sounds like he's over emphasizes certain inflections on softer A sounds on words can't handle what

Power of the Dog: I'm not sure if he was going for a modern regional Montana accent or trying to go more southern cowboy. Either way complete miss

Black Mass: I suppose Boston has a notoriously difficult accent to nail but it was a bad enough attempt that they should've just hired another actor. He didn't have a lot of dialogue but what lines he did have he kinda mumbled through them

yuh

I personally would have probably called it something dumb like the Marvel film verse or something.

How do you think this could change the world? Would you support this? So instead of a parent naming their baby James Smith for the billionth time in history the baby is named Silky Questionable Alligator. Wouldn't that be fun?

I'm just wondering.

So let’s say someone went to the temple and the day was “Abigail” but their sister’s name was Abigial. Would they be “named” Abigail or would they be given Eve?

326. The day destined for the parturition of saint Anne and for the birth of Her, who was consecrated and sanctified to be the Mother of God, had arrived: a day most fortunate for the world. This birth happened on the eighth day of September, fully nine months having elapsed since the Conception of the soul of our most holy Queen and Lady. Saint Anne was prepared by an interior voice of the Lord, informing Her, that the hour of her parturition had come. Full of the joy of the holy Spirit at this information, she prostrated herself before the Lord and besought the assistance of his grace and his protection for a happy deliverance. Presently she felt a movement in her womb similar to that which is proper to creatures being born to the light. The most blessed child Mary was at the same time by divine providence and power ravished into a most high ecstasy. Hence Mary was born into the world without perceiving it by her senses, for their operations and faculties were held in suspense. As She had the use of her reason, She would have perceived it by her senses, if they would have been left to operate in their natural manner at that time. However, the Almighty disposed otherwise, in order that the Princess of heaven might be spared the sensible experience otherwise connected with birth.

327. She was born pure and stainless, beautiful and full of grace, thereby demonstrating, that She was free from the law and the tribute of sin. Although She was born substantially like other daughters of Adam, yet her birth was accompanied by such circumstances and conditions of grace, that it was the most wonderful and miraculous birth in all creation and will eternally redound to the praise of her Maker. At twelve o'clock in the night this divine Luminary issued forth, dividing the night of the ancient Law and its pristine darknesses from the new day of grace, which now was about to break into dawn. She was clothed, handled and dressed like other infants, though her soul dwelt in the Divinity; and She was treated as an infant, though She excelled all mortals and even all the angels in wisdom. Her mother did not allow Her to be touched by other hands than her own, but she herself wrapped Her in swaddling clothes: and in this Saint Anne was not hindered by her present state of childbirth; for she was free from the toils and labors, which other mothers usually endure in such circumstances.

328. So then saint Anne received in her arms Her, who was her Daughter, but at the same t
