First Impressions

AI-Written

A Cruz is rarely assumed to be retired. Nearly half of all living holders belong to Generation Alpha, meaning the name is currently running laps in school gymnasiums across the Sun Belt. It moves briskly, avoiding middle consonants altogether. It shares phonetic territory with automotive verbs, which does not hurt its momentum.
