Those are some austin ass kids names. I bet they have a third vehicle that is a Vanagon camper and their dad wears vintage rings and bangles that he paid way too much for. Their mom is trying to start a photography & floral arrangement business on kickstarter.

"Matthew? What did your parents just make up a word? Man, I'm glad I'm not named based on what my folks think is cool sounding giberish. Seriously, Matthew?"
I met a kid named Reverend (don't imagine it was spelled that way though) at the park. My theory was after Horton Heat based on his dad's attire.
Given names are ridiculous and professional athlete nicknames have never been worse or less creative--initials plus number. Goddam millennials.

Oh I've encountered way more Austin kids' names. My son was once in class with a kid named Luckenbach.thrill wrote:Those are some austin ass kids names.

My first grader's "boyfriend" is named Briggs.
His best friend's name is Donatello - no he isn't a renaissance sculptor or a Ninja turtle...at least I don't think he is.

According to my research, every single younger millennial is wearing a F-R-I-E-N-D-S shirt and drinking hard seltzer this summer. Seriously, the last time I saw a 24 year old not carrying a sixer of White Claw was April 2017.
