     @evan I feel like I roll my eyes until they come up sevens every time I see a "Noxigen is now Stabulent!" rebrand, but I totally like that it's considered normal in a way that I think people's names should be.

     I remember my mother commenting on someone having a "made up" name, by which she meant "not named after a Byzantine saint". I just said "Yeah but *all* names are made up."
