I disagree on this one. The quiz uses the military branch as a clue, but in the context of names, I would usually associate it with the colour instead. Plus, it doesn't have any alternate spellings or weird pronunciations and has a similar vibe to more traditional names like Natalie or Mary. It's a whole lot better than names like Jream, Khaleesi, or Genesis.

I've taught at least a dozen girls with these names. #398 never occurred to me because it's quite common as is 661, both are quite common among the working class. #736 (N) is quite common for certain ethnic groups -- Kurdish, Arabic, Swahili, Zulu etc.

Be kind to people named Nev...

Good kids who often deserve better.

Anyone from eastern Mass probably remembers the ongoing disaster after the collapse of the Long Island shelter, and the years of chaos.

Nev's parents no place to go, and panhandled by her school with their new baby. Bon dieu 🥺

We did our best to help them.

This was Eastie, pre-gentrification, during the height of the Meth/Oxy crisis.

What?? There is no "objective reason" for any word to exist. That doesn't mean we should abolish language. What an absurd "argument".

Different words create different meanings, or at least different connotations. The loss of the intimate and plural forms of "you" in English is sometimes nice when you want to be deliberately ambiguous about how many people you're talking to, or how formal you're expected to be with them. It's also sometimes irritating when you'd love to be able to express that specificity. And sometimes it's irrelevant. That's kinda how language works. Yes it changes over time, but also the changes aren't somehow strictly good just because they are inevitable. They also aren't strictly bad. It's okay to mourn the loss of some concepts. It's okay to celebrate them too.

Which characters we use to write our words really isn't remotely close to being a relevant parallel here. Your analogy is bad and you should feel bad.

All 'a y'all (have used this)

All 'a youse (most of Boston and the near north cities are heavily influenced by a New York Italian patois. My own Mumsy says couwfee, as do her good buds from West Meffud)

☕

Her own name is a non trad nickname that evolved from Catherine, the Galwegian, who headed straight for Brooklyn.

My name is common among doggos. 😐

tldr, re 'your' and difficulty with expressing the number of people referenced in American -

Like with any language, you'll find people find a way of expressing specifics outside of the standard framework (like future/past in Thai)

Lemme small that for you

(my foreign partner making change)

Gimme all to me, Mommy

(our son aged about 2, dispensing with politesse)

Myen! Youren! Nuh-uh! Ya-huh!

(My old neighborhood, home of knock-off Jordache bags, secret basement businesses, and a schoolbus RV doubling as a beer storage unit)

though, that said... IMO the weirdest of the whole bunch shows up at #32?? That is strange. Was there a character named Nova that showed up in popular media somewhere I wasn't aware of? The MCU movie probably isn't coming out until 2025 at the earliest.

I know someone who named their child Nova about 5 years ago. As far as I know, they just liked it -- no popular associations or anything.

It sounds kind of historical (Latin) and science-y (supernova) and phonetically is in line with other currently trendy names like Ava and Nora. Personally, I think its one of the least weird names on this list!
