First Impressions

AI-Written
The name currently belongs either to a toddler or someone who remembers ration books. The middle generations skipped it almost entirely, creating an unusual eighty-year hollow in the census. It brings to mind screened porches, hand-cranked ice cream, and calico aprons. It is phonetically gentle, carried entirely by liquid consonants and open vowels.
