THE CHANGING TREND OF NAMES FROM UTILITARIAN TO MOVEMENT-INSPIRED

By : Luthiel The Civil Registry, located in the Kafra Corporation’s Headquarter in Aldebaran had published yesterday their newest edition of the Most Popular Midgardian Baby Names list. The list shows a very clear new trend of actioninspired baby names such as “MOVE THREE CELLS” and “BWING” are gaining unprecedented momentum among new parents in the continent.

“The changing baby name trends reflect the societal

changes of the Midgardian society,” said Professor Marc Merle of Juno Academy’s Sociology Center. “Some names derived from the Mythology such as Valkyrie-inspired names as well as animal, plant and food-inspired names were always and are still popular even today especially among pure PVM and role-player parents.

Many expecting parents still scramble daily to find a variation of that particular cat or plant-themed names for their children. However, some other baby naming trends gain and lose popularity as the

Midgardian society change with time.”

Around one decade ago, utility descriptive names such as SHADOW ASSASSIN were very popular among expecting parents wishing their children to join the elite Assassin Cross team. While not as popular as before, the Civil Registry still notice such use of descriptive names today such as OLP LEECHER and HIGH DPS SNIPER although the trend has considerably lessened. Often, these names are given by utilitarian-minded parents who choose to call their children

THE CHANGING TREND OF NAMES FROM UTILITARIAN TO MOVEMENT-INSPIRED according to their preferred job.

“This is about calling people by who they truly are. I always told my wife that we should call a candle a candle, hence why should I not call my Sniper son HIGH DPS SNIPER when we had helped him drafted his Status Build to achieve 189 ASPD as well as 160 total DEX? It is simply what he is: a high DPS sniper. He should be called as such,” said Quick Heal Priest, a resident of East Prontera.

Today, however, the newest trend of baby names registered by the Civil Registry show a clear preference of movementinspired names. While this trend is gaining momentum on all the continent, it is believed to be sparked initially in Ayothaya, where names such as MOVE THREE CELLS, BWING, and EVERYONE STOPS sit on top of the list. The Registry also notice names describing misleading colour and job description given to

children who are predestined to occupy another job, as well as unpronounceable names such as ( • ___ • ) and ||||||||.

“I notice a whole class in Ayothayan Primary School where some children who are being trained to be professor are named THE RED CREATOR, some other who are being trained as front line Lex Aeterna Priest are named THAT BLUE CHAMPION, et cetera,” noticed a civil registry employee who refused to be named. “Some other children are just named in a way that is impossible to pronounced their teacher never call them at all.

While it is not my place to tell what parents should or should not do, I am often concerned for the wellbeing of this children, it may confuse them!”

“We believe that this trend is due to the rise in popularity of short-calling techniques during the War of Emperium, where guild voice commander calls the target of focus fire,” asserted Dr

Liesel, head of Pronteran General Hospital as well as head of Save the Midgardian Children association. “While often presented as the best way to avoid being targeted effectively by adding difficulties for shortcallers, I am very concerned at how these parents already planned for their children’s participation in open warfare. I am quite sure we should formally complaint over intention of bringing more children into open combat.

Afterall, we live in a server where involving child soldiers such as Baby Class in open WOE combat are fully tolerated. What a crazy world we live in!”
