Before my kids were even born, my wife and I made jokes about what we'd name them. Real tragedeigh-level names.

Sometimes we'd get concerned looks.

The worst ones are those who agree with our obvious joke. We'd say we'll name him "Duhmpstar" or "Phartz" and they'd gush over how original and cute it'll be. Where it bites us in the ass is that we never ever reveal that we're mocking them, and they actually use those names for their crotch goblin.
