    Why would you do that to your child? I mean, you wanna change your own name, go for it.

      People have been choosing made up names from fiction for hundreds (thousands?) of years and as far I know, no one has died from it yet. Jessica is just a character from a play.

        I get the sentiment but “Loki Skywalker” and “Jessica” are far from comparable even if Jessica would have been viewed in the same light 500 years ago.

          If Luke hadn’t run from responsibility in tertiary canon it’d be fine but honestly it’s just a bad combination in terms of nominative determinism.

      You are making a lot of assumptions about this childs parents. Starting with they had a concept of a plan to begin with.

        concept of a plan

        Are we talking about the weekly updates on Trumps healthcare plan? Look: he’ll get a plan and we’ll like it. There’s no need to keep nagging him every year.

          Well I can safely assume trump was dumb enough not to plan the birth of his children, it was like a personal Vietnam.

      Nowadays naming your kid is a way to make a statement about yourself. Like a vanity plate.

        yourself. Like a vanity plate.

        You had me at Vanity and Yourself. That really encapsulates the impression.

      Should have named him Luke. It’s a perfectly normal name, it’d fly under the radar. But youd still have named him after him.
