First Impressions
AI-WrittenAn Iker is almost certainly still in grade school and rarely seen without turf shoes. The name arrived in the United States without any twentieth-century baggage, having skipped the entire era of landline telephones. It is brisk, vowel-forward, and tied directly to the mid-2010s youth sports complex. Statistically, an Iker is still working on his fractions.
