Casual clothes TNG to PIC - from terrible to far too 2020s?

[Richard S. Ta]

Greek names are awesome. I'd love to be called Hyperion instead of stupid boring Richard.

 

[fireproof78]

I've always liked Hyperion.

 

[eschaton]

I legit wanted my daughter to be named Hypatia after Hypatia of Alexandria.

 

[fireproof78]

Oh, and Achilles. Also Cassandra.

How did a thread about off-duty attire become a thread about odd names?

I will note that "John" (and cognates like "Johann" and "Jean"), "James" (and cognates like "Jacob" and "Jacques"), and "William" (and its various cognates) and "Mary" (and its various cognates) and "Anne" (and its various cognates) and a handful of others, have been popular for at least a millennium, while other names seem to come and go with changing fashion.

How did a thread about off-duty attire become a thread about odd names?

Eh, it's our way around here.

 

[Phil123]

As the one who started this thread I’ve been fascinated to see the strange directions it’s gone in!

Ava’s a shocker. I mean, who’s the most famous Ava you can think of?

Luna’s kind of funny. Can’t wait till there’s an explosion of Ganymede’s, Io’s, and Europa’s.

Also, I don’t think Christopher, William, Timothy et al are going anywhere. (A generation of women will name their children Timothée [Chalamet] you wait and see.) I’m Greek, and we still use Artemis, Antigone, Electra, Athena, Persephone, Eurydice…Achilles, Pericles, Ares, Odysseus, Socrates, Hippocrates, etc…as well as Chris, Nick, Greg, Luke, George, Elizabeth, Victoria, Maria, etc.

Ava DuVernay comes to my mind immediately.

Popular name trends often come from pervasive fictional characters as much as anything, Harry Potter caused a massive uptick in kids named Hermione. Could it be that there’s a (or even several) character(s) in popular fiction named Ava that helped its popularity increase as well?

At least it's not Khaleesi!

Starfleet doesn't do cloaks.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Starfleet doesn't do cloaks.

They got their cloak on in the 32nd century and who knows how long StarFleet had cloaks =D.

 

[Arpy]

Why as far back as Tuesday, of course.
