Back in 1910, Mr. and Mrs. Stanislaus Kottarsky were traveling by ship from Austria to the United States. They were ultimately bound for Cleveland, Ohio.
What was the name of the ship? The SS Cleveland, coincidentally.
So when Mrs. Kottarsky gave birth to a son during the journey, the couple decided to stick with the theme. They named their baby boy Cleveland.
And that’s not all.
The ship brought 6,000 canaries from the Hartz Mountains, and the man in charge of them gave a fine singer to the parents. Kottarsky said he would name the bird Cleveland also.
Dr. Cleveland Evans isn’t a gamer. Nevertheless, he recently wrote an insightful article for The Omaha World-Herald about baby names that have been inspired by video game characters, such as:
Kain, a male character from the Legacy of Kain series.
Rinoa, a female character from Final Fantasy VIII.
I’ve seen Raiden used as a baby name several times. Too bad it’s impossible to tell which Raidens were named after the character and which were simply given a variant of Aidan, or Jayden, or Caden…
Have you met any babies with these names before? If so, do you know if their parents are gamers?
I wrote a letter to a friend not long ago, and the act of writing something longhand (which I rarely do anymore) made me wonder: which baby names can be written in cursive without lifting the pen from the page?
Turns out that many names can be written this way — so long as they don’t contain letters that need crossing/dotting (t, i, x, j) and don’t start with a tricky capital such as W or X.
Here are some examples of names that can be written in script with one continuous line of ink.
