@movq I don't have any statistics, just observe what is around me, so it's very subjective. I know a bunch of kids with names I've never heard before. Sometimes, I first thought other kids were making fun of their friends by calling them by made-up nonsense. But no. Without question, I live under a rock. I just looked up some of them that came to mind immediately and they seem to be of Greek, Swedish and Latin origin, etc.

@movq Oh yeah, that sounds really nicely.

@movq I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated. Didn't read through the court decision, though.

Interesting, I always thought that Kiran was a male first name. But I only know one person with that name. As last name, though.

Now I'm wondering, was that also the beginning when parents started giving their kids really weird names?

@bender Hahahaha! :-D

@klaxzy Haha, I just noticed because my client colors mentions differently depending on whether I follow the feed or not. ;-)

@klaxzy I just wanna let you know that in your last two messages there are backslashes at the end of the mention URLs.

@movq I see. Never watched that show.

@bender Ta! :-)

I've got sore muscles. The sticky snow couldn't be pushed, it had to be laborously cleared shovel by shovel. :-D

In my lunch break, I went on a short stroll. Oh boy, walking through deep damp snow is exhausting! There were sections with easily 30 centimeters and more. Some big wind drifts had piled up. Despite melting off quickly in the 4°C, especially turning the trees brown again, the white landscape still looks so nice. I'm glad these road marking sticks finally came in handy for the snow plow guys. :-) The black and orange stripes are 30 cm high.

That's probably it. There's no significant snowfall announced for the rest of the week and temperatures are supposed to stay in the 2-4°C range by day.

@movq No, I don't know what that is. :-?
