as an individual with a name unique in the playground (in this country, and particularly paired with my last name), i would like to say that, based on my interactions with actual people and their apparent perceptions/first impressions of me, i absolutely love having a pretty-sounding name that is pretty uncommon. makes me seem all interesting and exotic. unfortunately, all of my shoddy uninformed internet activity is now easily linked to me. i wish i could easily undo or escape what i have done to myself.

i actually decided today that any kid of mine will be named something akin to a john doe.
