Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 22, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Something not mentioned in this thread that we considered fairly important, that we see some other people not do, was to choose a name that works both as a name for a child and as an adult. Some people pick names for their children that only really work for young children. They're more like a pet names than real names.

This is not necessarily a wholly modern phenomenon and some older names are like this as well.
