First Impressions

AI-Written
The name places its bearer squarely in the early nineteen-eighties. It suggests someone who has had to correct the middle vowel on school forms, pharmacy labels, and email addresses for four decades. The extra a was a conscious choice by parents who liked the sound but preferred phonetic clarity. It carries the distinct air of a cassette tape rewound with a pencil.
