Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

... Miriam is making a come back?

Eustace! Leave that poor dog alone!

And then also... jesus fuck, the right wing 2A crowd is now I guess just naming their kids 4 or 5 different variations of their favorite overpriced 'cool but also tactical' glasses?

I guess it makes sense for a Republican approach to daughters; literally just accessories they own so they can self-actualize via consumerism and performative conformity.

... Also I can only hope male Nico just barely making the list is from people who played GTA 4 and actually realized his entire story is a thorough evisceration of the concept of the American Dream.

It's probably because it's a traditional Jewish name. It's just Hebrew for Mary.

Yeah it's funny to see it thought of as an old person name because when I hear Miriam I picture a youngish Jewish woman.

These aren't necessarily popular names. They're the most skewed ones (presumably above a threshold, otherwise there would be a lot of names where there was only one baby).

I know, I know, I'm just being cheeky =P

But, that is a good and accurate thing to point out either way!
