My daughter was almost named “to be determined”. We went out for lunch one day and this woman at a table beside us was talking about her granddaughter. Her granddaughter sounded like a great kid and when she (finally) said her granddaughter’s name, my partner and I gave each other a look. That was the name…
I wish your app had existed then - it would have been easier than the grand email list o’ names we shared with everyone even remotely related to us.
But also, I wonder if that woman had any idea that she would inadvertently name my only child just by bragging about her grand baby. And in a sense, that gets to be your honour now. You built something that will be responsible for naming humans. That’s truly profound.
Great hack…:)
