I'm a teacher and a bunch of parents name their kids the stupidest things nowadays. In my class right now are "Jax" and "Dexter", because their parents chose to name the kids after TV character murderers.

If there are no Deans any more, what name will be the shorthand for teenage arsehole these days? The ones who will grow up to be builder’s labourers, accused date rapists and NF members after first spending two years banged up in borstal?
I’ve lost count of the James Kirks I’ve taught over the years (do parents just not watch old TV?) But my all-time favourite was Shivawn, or “Phonetic Siobhan,” as she was known.
How about calling your child Cain, literally the first murdered. Plenty of that kind of nonsense about. Although there are probably more Josephs than Adolphus'. Are there any other Elons?

I'm not outright saying that if I had triplets that I'd name them after the Biker Mice From Mars...BUT...
Plenty names have come from made-up stories…
