| − | Technically, "Sean" should have an accent on the 'a', so that it is pronounced "Shawn". It's a transliteration of "John" into the alphabet that was in use in Ireland a couple of centuries ago. If you leave out the accent, it's a different word, a prefix meaning "old" and pronounced "shan". Using family names as given names is also a thing. "Kim" is a nice name for a girl... but in N Korea? And finally "Joyst" as a reference to "Joyce" recalls the arts graduate from Dublin looking for a job as a builder... "The difference between a joist and a girder? Well, Joist wrote Ulysses and Girder wrote Faust"[[Special:Contributions/162.158.38.208|162.158.38.208]] 21:35, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

| − | There is currently a very famous child who is named a wifi password and I think this comic is much funnier because of it. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.38.44|172.68.38.44]] 01:29, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

| − | In response to the comment attached to [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=1011:_Baby_Names&diff=329785&oldid=329784 this edit], I must admit that I still say "chipotle" to rhyme with "bottle". Self-consciously... didn't know what it was when I first encountered it, and even now that I ''know'' it rhymes with "outlay" I rarely go with that at the stressful point of deciding which sauce(s) I want on my sub/whatever. People more right than me could still easily cut it short with a schwa, much as "bottler"(/"botla"), or another short-high vowel. So I can indeed believe it could become "chipotla" (however they pronounce ''that'', in their accent) for them. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.90.53|172.70.90.53]] 13:37, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
