Was thinking of this after a conversation I had on a thread about dreams. Someone joked “I was dreaming of the events of The Matrix, then I was woken up by someone worried my dream was infringing the Wachowski’s copyrights”, and it turned into a whole train of thought in my mind, like violating IP law because you stole fire from Zeus which was his intellectual property.

    Parents have to pay a fee for the firstname they give their kids. Popular firstnames cost more, gross ones cost less.

    The kids themselves have to pay again for it monthly, their whole live long.

      Nah it should be like fetishes, the more obscure the more expensive. But you can get John or Mark for free.

      This might be the only valid reason to ever name a kid “Jayrahmyie”
