Alex used to be uncommon. I blame Family Ties.

148 followers · 1451 posts · Server wandering.shopAn observation on the #morphology of the #onomastics of #ShadowAndBone. Please bear with me. This may take a couple of toots.
Consider the suffix -ling. Historically derived from a Germanic diminutive, it tends to connote (a) small things, (b) young things, or (c) sweet affectionate things. Observe:
Yearling: A young horse or cow, only a year old (sense b)
Stripling: slightly derogatory term for adolescent human, especially puny pnes (a, b)
Sapling: very young small tree (a, b)

Your cats would fit right in.

Anyway, if you’ve ever wondered who W Commodore Way and what W Dravus Street were named after ( just to take two streets in my neighborhood, #Magnolia ), check it out…

Hi! I’m Benjamin Lukoff, a local historian born, raised, and living in Seattle. I’ve been an “address nerd” since I was young, and this blog, which I started in 2019, focuses on exploring the stories behind the names of Seattle’s streets. I’ll post articles from there as well as interesting tidbits I find on the web. Welcome! https://writesofway.org/about #introduction #NameStudies #names #onomastics #LocalHistory #LocalHistorians #Seattle #names #streets #StreetNames #cities #maps #plats #history

Burnt Matches, Aborted Entoloma, and Destroying Angel.
It seems to me that most baby name books aren't trying hard enough.

I do #indiemusic, #powerpop, #songwriting, #singing, #art of all kinds, #writing, #graphicdesign, #interiordesign, extremely nerdy research in #onomastics (#namestudies), #genealogy, #rollerskating, and lots more.
