First Impressions

AI-Written
A Beckett is almost certainly under the age of ten and carrying a small backpack. The name suggests parents who read the Paris Review but drive an all-wheel-drive crossover to soccer practice. It registers as composed, slightly British, and decidedly modern. Statistically, the bearer is far more likely to be learning long division than filing tax returns.
