Today I saw a piece of mail for Shatrine. I googled. It's a real name. for more than one person.
Anything beginning "Shat" would be bad enough, but to also rhyme it with latrine????
Truly wonderful!

Is 'shat' a passed participle?

New surprising front runner for uncommon-common names this year is Gus. We've had three of them over the course of the summer.

That's really interesting. I'm expecting a Gus bump from Sweet Tooth but we're too early. I actually like the name.

Oh we have plenty of Gus-tiness here. Some are just Gus, Some are Augustus, some are August ..and I've seen an Argus but don't know that that one was shortened (yet)
Feminine form Gussette, gender-neutral Gusset?

Re: Names. (My obsession) ((Well one of them))
... but then there was also a kid by the name of T-Rex. really. I know the T was an initial for something, but he never used it. He walked the stage at high school graduation as T-rex Smith (or whatever)
....so I may not live in the best place to truly judge name trends...

Re: Names. (My obsession) ((Well one of them))
I mean, Google would always show search results for something else and ask them if they really wanted to search for that entry. How exasperating.

Re: Names. (My obsession) ((Well one of them))
but google does that anyway........ sell out.....
me "best time to prune apple tree"
Google "did you mean best time to buy apple tree"
me: clicks search for best time to prune apple tree anyway"
Google: brings up a sponsored ad for apple tree saplings which has the word prune in the blurb somewhere. maybe

Google has completely gone to shit. When I was a boy, you could get search results.

Re: Names. (My obsession) ((Well one of them))
OMFG ... swap all As for Is and all Is for As.....
I have encountered a person called Bish Silima
F'realz. Now I know I have a mind like a Welsh railway and the name is probably from an immigrant culture...... but if my name was a euphemism for wanking where I lived and worked I'd change it. never thought I's find a better one than Randy Dong, but........
and this one is an employee who I might have to interact with face-to-face in a couple of weeks. I hope beyond all hopes it is not pronounced as I would in English
