El Reg[^] article on people giving their children 'Vanity' names.
However, my eye was drawn to the number 811.
In our house 811 has a particular connotation.
Pants and socks left on the floor form the number 811.
Michelle will often say something along the lines of "If you are having a shower I don't want to have a Code 811 emergency" or "Don't leave an 811 for me".

You must drop them with great precision.

Precision doesn't matter. They always form 811.

Well, at least most of the names aspire to greatness, rather than to emulate slimy, disgusting, armoured, sociopathic mass-murderers.

I'm curious about what happens to them when they don't achieve the level of "greatness" that their names say they should.
At a younger age, the names may be cute for their parents, but they may not be really "playground safe".

I fear other children will laugh at them and they'll have to suffer for the ignorance of their parents...

Yeah, it seems that the more you're laughed at and bullied the more likely it is you'll commit suicide.

Don't be silly.
They'll all transform into Messiahs. Each and every one of them.
... Right after "Messiah" is taken on as the new name for street-gang leaders, if multiple reports about kids with aggrandising names are to be believed.

Yeah, it does seem that way, doesn't it?

How the elephant do you make an 8 with pants?

Looks like a bow that is most certainly not Cupid's.

The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

I don't care about the movie, but I want a piece of that cake!
