Male names mostly suck. Over the past 25 years they have gotten 500x worse. Matthew, Mark, Luke & John might be the only acceptable names today that don't sound like a single mother dreamed it up. Any white man under the age of 80 with a name that ends with -den, -dun, -ton or -son and isn't associatrd with non-ghetto American blacks like Curt, Keith & David, should consider going by their middle name or first two initials.

Imagine neighboring countries being very similar, but keeping to themselves for so many centuries they develop completely different languages. In the modern USA, it's almost unthinkable. But everywhere else, it's the norm.
