Years ago, my dad told me about how in the early years of the AIDS crisis, the most at-risk groups were the 4 Hs: homosexuals, hemophiliacs, heroin users and Haitians. This led to a joke about how if you contracted AIDS, you'd have a very hard time persuading your parents that you're Haitian.

I was talking to an Armenian guy over the weekend, who mentioned that the name "Lilith" is very popular in Armenia. He was surprised and amused to hear about the other demographic in which the name is popular. This got me wondering: if you're a socially awkward autistic male feeling uncomfortable in his body, would you be able to persuade your parents that you're really Armenian?

Zoey is another classic transgender name. It reminds me of an old Simpsons joke about gay names

Luna is another one those guys like, I’ve noticed.
