Sometimes, the internet makes me hate everyone.
Okay, this is a stupid thing to get frustrated over, but I am anyway:
I am tired of seeing people say that anyone who names their child Ariana/Arianna must be a racist. The fact that the amount of times I've seen this amounts anything over one is astonishing. At this point I have to assume they're either trolling, being willfully ignorant (it's not an uncommon name), and/or pronouncing it or Aryan incorrectly. I'm at the point of wanting to ask them if they also think the titular character from The Little Mermaid is a racist, or if her father is - or any other name that starts with A-R-I.
I know people just generally tend to be fucking judgmental idiots about names, but the "you must be a racist" thing is just above and beyond that.
EDIT: And now I've passed Go, collected my two hundred dollars, and have found myself loving a name the more other people are vitriolically against it. I suppose it's just as well, because I really love the name Thessalonike...
This started with me just looking up names for characters, man.
