First Impressions
AI-WrittenThe name carries the weight of an early-twentieth-century tradesman who owned a tailored suit. Despite appearing continuously since 1880, its single largest birth count did not arrive until 2022. It avoids trend cycles by simply refusing to speed up. An Alonzo is rarely mistaken for anyone else on the roster.
