First Impressions
AI-WrittenHearing the name today reliably brings to mind a child born during the peak streaming era. It suggests a household with strong opinions on prestige television and very little nostalgia for twentieth-century naming conventions. The average holder is currently eight years old and entirely unfamiliar with the television series that prompted her parents to choose it.
