normalize asking ‘who gave it to you?’ after complimenting someone’s name
they might go into a story about how their aunt on their dad’s side had this cool experience that inspired their name, or they might joyfully say 'meee!!’ or they might just laugh and tell you their mom did. many such delightful possibilities
you fools. this post is an opportunity to share your cool name stories. i say this as a person with a really boring name story. the most interesting thing about my name is that it gets mistaken for another, more common name with a similar spelling
