Which elements make the best baby names?

Fluorine?
Argon?
Molybdenum?
Antimony?

meh.

Now:

Xenon
Tin (People would keep trying to correct it to Tim, but it's got a ring to it with the right last name I think)

Tin Thompson

What would you pick?

@futurebird Manganese and Beryllium would be my picks, I think :-)

@izzyamar

Manganese is pretty but then everyone will think you are into anime

@futurebird @izzyamar
Argon - everyone will think you are into fantasy

@sabik @izzyamar

but bad at spelling?

@futurebird

You read Gunnerkrigg Court ?

@lienrag

No... But, lemme see what that is.

@futurebird The name Tin makes is Stan

@CoolerPseudonym @futurebird
First name Tin, middle name Tin

@sabik @CoolerPseudonym

0th name rin?

@kelson @donlamb_1

Cesium would always feel like teachers were mad at him when they were just saying his name.

@futurebird @sabik @izzyamar i tried to make a joke about referencing something unintended but then it got lost in the decision paralysis

or really afraid of trademark law

@futurebird there is definitely some girl in the south actually named Tennessine

i was almost certain i'd seen someone named "Borón" somewhere and whaddyaknow https://en.wikipedia.o...
> is an Argentine Marxist sociologist
......he's on fedi isn't he

if you see a kid named Silicon, i think it's presumptively recommended to call child protective services because that can't mean anything good

imagine picking one of the human-name-ium elements, Einsteinium

what about ones that have a nice short form:

Ruth from Ruthenium
Archie from Argentum

continuing in the style of short forms, Arseniy is a name in Russian, but Arsenic is probably not a good pick for English speaking areas (Arse). Copper..

Gallium and Palladium are just gal and pal (or lad)
