Parent Full thread

Any responsible parent will call him Bob or Anna, of course. Taking surnames into account is going to be a bit harder.

Here's a good resource for anyone becoming a parent today: https://parentinghealthybabies.com/palindrome-names/

Edit! One I just thought of while brushing my teeth:

Errol Lorre (perhaps related to Peter?)

s/will call him/will have called him/

Only way to be sure is to name all 360,000 of them palindromically...

Someone like Bob Anna or Anna Bob

Oof, that list is terrible. Natan is listed twice, and there’s at least one name that isn’t a palindrome. The only two names that really work from that list is Anna and Hannah. Nobody should name their kid Bob in 2020, it’s not a «young» name yet. Thr older Bobs need to die off before it’s an acceptable kid’s name.

As for the rest of those names, I refuse to acknowledge them as names. They’re more like onomatopoeia.

Are you saying “Ada Lovelace” had a fake name? :)

Ada, Ava, Eve and Viv are all names I’ve seen in the wild and would consider reasonable names too. There’s also nothing wrong with Bob, despite what you seem to think. So together with Anna and Hannah, that’s 7 names.

They’re names, but like Bob, they’re not names that fit kids. Names are like fashion, they come in cycles. If your name is off-cycle, it’ll often sound a generation or two too far removed.

All of you are just talking about American name fashions. The point of 20200202 is that it's a palindrome in every single country and culture that uses AD and the Gregorian calendar. Many of these names may be very suitable in other cultures.

One of the names in that list should be Aziza, instead of Azia. It means dear or precious in Arabic.
