Wait so… what was the name that is 75% Kit and 25% Other?

@bens full name: kitchen

@bens oh right forgot to say -- his legal name is now registered as "Christopher Andrew When", though we call him "Kit". I believe Kit is a semi-official shortening of Christopher: https://www.thebump.com/b/kit-baby-name; I didn't know this when we were considering Kit, but @rachel felt that "Christopher Andrew" flowed better than "Kit Andrew", legally.

I resolved to 25% other because it seemed plausible that someone betting on that option was betting on the legal not casual name. (If anyone feels particularly put out by this resolution, though, let me know and I can consider what seems fair)

Fun fact, Andrew is partly for Andrew "Ender" Wiggin.

@Austin Bro I was all in on Other. But I knew what kind of market I was betting on so I had Yes on Kit anyway.

Congrats on the new baby.

Edit: Turns out I bought a bunch of Kit right at the end and I had more Kit shares than Other anyway. Yes good option there.

If I was you, I would name my kid a gender-neutral name like Alex. Just in case if my kid turns out to be trans

The baby is born btw, let me know what name seems appropriate for this little guy

@Austin Congratulations!

@Austin Congratulations, Austin! I recommend not going with Alexander. As an Alex myself, there are already way too many Alexes at Manifest!

@Austin felicidades!

@Austin was this supposed to be "Fairbank"?

@bens no - the name fairbark appeared to me in a dream while Rachel was pregnant and ever since it's stuck in my head

@Austin maybe it's short for Ferdinand Barclay

I was gonna add Steve Stevenson, but it costs 1,000 mana.

@JasonMendoza2008 it’d be a fun name

lmao @AlexChen i wonder if they're OK with double-A-first-names but good name otherwise

I picked "Other" because 99% of all boys names are included in Other right now and it was trading at only 24% and no one in the comments (yet) said any of the listed names were Super Duper Awesome to give the creator confidence in them.

What was the connection for the name Ada?

@shankypanky Ada Lovelace maybe? Clearly the next one should be Blackwell

Partly Ada Lovelace, and partly Ada Palmer! And partly we liked the way it sounded.

I vote for Lincoln! (and against Fairbark)

Consider what his signature will look like. /Eliza/of-the-listed-lowercase-letters-whi

We should put "feygmqst" on the board. It rolls off the tongue.

@Quroe
Fey "gm" Qstad sounds like a cryptocurrency sci-fi name
