    Giving a kid a unique or overtly referential first name is an act of cruelty. Save that for the middle name so it doesn't have to be an omnipresent thing in their life if they don't want it to be.

    Yeah because nobody with "normal" names dislikes their name

    And there's definitely no way to change your name if you truly want to

    I think if I was going to go with a sci-fi reference I would give a boy the middle name of Resch. That's normal enough not to weird people out but uncommon enough that one in a few hundred people would get giddy about also knowing Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

    I'd be totally psyched if I met a kid named Geralt though

    heck, a Yennefer is okay too.
    I like when people get fancy with child names because it's like, this is it, the very beginning of your offspring's Brand.
    This is probably the first thing anyone learns about them, and you're going with Greg?

    This phrase genuinely made me nauseous

    Sorry, the middle name is reserved for "White Wolfr"

    So I have an adult son, his first and middle names are both normal names that have both the full and a short version, and are both taken from ancestors of his. So he was set from the start with four different possible names to go by, and none of them rhyme with any body parts or functions. I thought that shit through.

    At a place I used to work a regular customer had named their kid Kal’el.

    Which I mean, is like giving your kid the first name Clarkkent

    I think Yennefer is pretty okay as far as exotic pop culture names go. It's just weird enough.

    Way better than naming your kid Khaleesi.

    I hate people naming their kids Khaleesi for the nerdiest reason: it’s not a name, it’s a title.

    I think it's about time for "Duke" to come back around as a name.

    One of my cats is called Earl but that's because he's grey, I don't think it works the same for people
    the other is called Dorian...who, yes, is the same colour

    Gotta go meta and hang a picture of a really old cat with the same coloring.

    Geralt would definitely be misheard as Gerald, and Yennefer definitely would be misspelled as Jennifer (I.. think I do like Yennefer/Yenna/Yen better than Jennifer/Jenna/Jen? Though it may come down to the novelty of it)

    Finally got round to finishing this, turns out having an baby about is not conducive to watching stuff that you have to pay attention to.

    I really enjoyed the last few episodes, the show seems to improve as more and more story threads caught up with each other.

    Can't wait to see what they do in season 2 now they're on a roll.

    ooh they cast Tormund Kristofer Hivju for Witcher season 2. It's for another short story character.
    It's "A Grain of Truth," the Beauty and the Beast story.

    Kim is a Danish actor, best know outside of Denmark for his role in Killing Eve.

    Certainly looks grizzled enough!
