    I grew up next to a Kermit who was born in the 1910s or 20s IIRC.

    And had a great uncle named homer.

        We can blame that on the people who watched it and didn’t understand the sarcasm.

      I went to school with a Homer, he lived up to the name and he wasn’t a Greek poet. I’d never name my child that.

      Apparently Brooklyn was full of toddlers named Sufjan 20 years ago. So there’d be a cohort of twentysomething dudes named Sufjan around these days.

      See also: names like Liam and Kylie which were a lot less common before the 90s. Not to mention the girls’ name Madison (from a mermaid in an 80s movie).

        Sufjan

        Sufjan was big 20 years ago? No that can’t be right, that would be… 2006…

        ETA: …And I just pulled my back.
