  1. FIFTY FIFTY -- Chanelle Moon

    The fortunate homophonies between a Korean name, that of Earth's natural satellite, an American given name, and the surname of the French fashion designer have come together to ensure that my Fifty Fifty bias wrecker enjoys one of the most delightfully memorable of all Kpop idol names.

  6. FIFTY FIFTY -- Athena

    How delightful that my Fifty Fifty bias, the Suedo-Taiwanese-Korean Athena, is named after the Olympian goddess to whom I am most devoted!

  7. Here is part 2 of "Armenian First Names Through the Ages" from Gesaria #Armenian Research and Academic Services. What do names like Lori, Taline, and Ani have in common? Where do Karlen, Mels, and Ninel come from? (A hint: think #Soviet .) Read on to find out.

  9. Super red baby name choices are so revealing about the values and self-image of today's US "conservatives".

  10. Loosemble -- Hyeju

    If I've posted about this before, please accept my apologies and scroll down... for those of you who are still with me hear me out when i tell you that I wish Hyeju had persevered with the stage name Olivia Hye. It had a Korean woman meets Shakespearean heroine romance to it that i found appealing.

    Once I would have said that she was my Loona bias, but then I read something about her being offhand with a fan during a fan call. Thinking back , I must ask myself who knows what really happened.

    Anyway, I still love "Egoist", still think she is a great performer, and still think she is a fine figure of a woman.

    Speaking of Loona stage names, I wish one of the yyxy girls had taken up Jaden Jeong's suggestion of "Adam".

    In addition to taking pleasure with the pairing with "Yves", I would have been delighted to have seen the girly Go Won introduced with such a "masculine" name. I am always pleased to see women with traditionally male names like James, Michael, or Charles.

  14. Wouldn't it be nice to call the islands in the pink zone on this map, here labelled as "South East Asia Isl.", Skaianesia instead?

    σκαιός / skaios is the ancient Greek for west. The name I propose suits the group of islands that lie to the west of the other three named groups.

  15. Yves looks rather good in spectacles here.

    Yves is the stage name of kpop idol and sometime Loona member Ha Sooyoung.

    In the past people have been critical of the stage name on the grounds of Yves being a given name for males in French.

    That criticism strikes me as misguided. In the first place, the challenge to rigid gender markings and the homophony with the English "Eve" belong to the lore of Loona.

    In addition, I can't be the only person who is delighted to come across beautiful women with names like James, Charles, Michael, Yves....
