So I made a new Sims 3 game which features Ebony Way (a witch) from the infamous fanfic, and her older sister Tara (a human). Within a day, Ebony fell in love with a vampire and Tara has vandalised the town with spray paint. And someone died of old age in the middle of the summer festival just as zombies were coming out of ground under the light of a full moon.
which is to say, i think Americans tend to be more willing to use what are traditionally surnames as given names than people over here
for all i know these are actually really uncommon names, but it's the kind of thing that i think of when i think of names that are characteristically American
There was a kid in my school named King Arthur. He used to get called to the principal's office a lot, although I never met him so far as I know. It was kind of like Al and his not-pancake-house in Gilmore Girls.
Hmm. Do I dislike the television shows that my sister likes because the nature of a sibling is to be annoying and annoyed, or are the shows actually dumb?

....King Arthur?
not like, Arthur King (aka King, Arthur). Like his first name was King?
anyway I've told this story before but I went to school with not one but two people whose legal first names were Bubba.
Sophie strikes me as more of a southern belle name than a British one personally.
Googling 'oakley name' brings up a bunch of baby name sites, but i admit i just kinda threw that one in there and can't think of any actual person with that name
2:30AM - 2:35AM [teeth and claw marks]: The curtain opened to reveal 4 predatory bipedal reptiles. Based on the D-class test subject's descriptions, the reptiles may have belonged to the genus Velociraptor. Each were dressed in a Japanese maid cosplay costume tailored to fit them. The reptiles began to approach D-9908 off stage in an extremely aggressive manner. D-9908 relinquished all of his money which seemed to appease the reptiles as they collected the money and shifted attention towards D-3432. D-3432 also relinquished all of his money with the same results. Afterwards, all 4 reptiles were ordered back on stage by SCP-1472-1 and the curtain then closed. D-6744 divided the remainder of his money with the other D-class test subjects.

It's weird, I usually find foreign pronunciations endearing (especially when people say the "l" in "solder"), but "haitch" vs. "aitch" is grating to my ears somehow.

i generally feel it's wrong and elitist to look down on people over dialectal speech.
However "haitch" has annoyed me ever since i was a kid, especially since everyone around here seems to say it.
It's a case of hypercorrection, i think. People know you're not supposed to drop hs, so they overcompensate by attaching them to the beginning of words that start with a vowel.
Reinforced, i think, by the fact that you rarely see letter names in writing, and that most letter names do begin with the sound they represent.

It's not that I look down on people for saying "haitch"; it's just that it seems wrong to me in a way that's quite distracting when I hear it.

Nigel, Arthur and Eliza strike me as more 'upper class', or perhaps just slightly dated? not sure.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot

and take their weapons leaving them dead
Best wedding ever.
