You forgot about Winslow.

But why should they be? This is surely no different to us asking people about their jobs and partnership status, which, as I said before, is typical of party small-talk.
Sidhekin:
No different than asking people "you mean your owner?" ...

Confirming this, but it is very rare. I would have guessed that it is a local variant of German 'Joachim', and thus an exclusively male name (so I never thought that the definitely female forumite would have taken a Finnish name). I did a quick search with the engine of our census bureau. There are currently less than ten living persons in Finland with first name Akima (normally they give exact figures, but they make an exception with rare names to protect the privacy of those individuals). At least one of them is a woman. They were all born some time between 1900 and 1919. It is safe to say that it is out of fashion as a first name in these parts.
Border Reiver:
Personally, I applaud Momo's restrained response to a question that would have been offensive in a restrained manner.
And a little creeped out that Emily wants to be a Necron.
