    You’re right, I was defending a different position than you were replying to.

    At the same time, if I ended up with a canonically religious crazy or white trash name… I would change it. The thought of changing my name had crossed my mind, but it’s pretty whitebread.

        My parents were extremely religious, and named me after the fictitious leader of a made up civilization of atheists. It’s such a weird paradox to me, because I did indeed grow up to not share their religion, but that’s the exact opposite of what they actually wanted.
