Miles (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.

I'm not asking "why is Miles's last name different to his father's?" That's fine, whatever. I grew up with a few people who went by their mother's last name. It's uncommon, but NBD.

I'm more wondering if the creator of Miles's dad (I'm assuming it was Bendis) ever gave any reasoning for naming him after the Confederate President. It seems like an exceedingly weird choice to make.

I'm wondering your thoughts on self given native names.

For example, I was given a native name at toddler age, Pretty Dancing Girl. But as we usually do, I outgrew it. (Not much of a dancer now haha. Nor too pretty LOL)

I'm sadly distant from any native family (save for my mom) and not connected with my tribe (oglala) as I live in Alaska.

Due to a very beautiful lucid dream I had, I adopted the name Bird Woman. Which fits me greatly. I am very connected with birds. I raise birds, I feed wild songbirds, I go outside and they land on my hands. I've had hawks dive low and fly beside my car.

But I don't want to disrespect my ancestors by doing this, even though in my beliefs, I spoke to them through lucid dreaming. (And while I believe that is 100% real, I'm always open to the fact it may not be, hence my asking this question.)

I'm unsure because if my understanding is correct, natives didn't name themselves. Please correct me if wrong

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.

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?

yuh

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

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?

Jack helpfully clarifies: "Writers."
