Case:
--- Quote from: sitnspin on 13 Jul 2016, 07:12 ---I'm a lesbian, I suppose the risk is a bit higher for me than for straight people, but I'm pretty sure having the same name would exclude someone from the dating pool for me. I'm not quite that much of a narcissist.
--- End quote ---
Both the male and female version of my given name are amongst the 10 most popular in my birth-cohort. In any group larger than 20 people, I'm more surprised when I'm the only one answering to [Case's real name].
Can't really afford to put that one on my list of dealbreakers ... :psyduck:

Fair enough. Mine is in the top 500. I've honestly never met another one, so I am pretty safe, especially considering I'm currently in a serious long term relationship and she doesn't have my name.
Gyrre:

So, Brun's (ex-) boss is The Joker? Is that what we're saying here?

Or Mr. Sin (from Sam and Fuzzy).

--- Quote from: freeman on 13 Jul 2016, 00:37 ---Also, Tinder exists as is in the QC universe, in place of some trademark friendly joke stand-in, such as "Striker & Flint".
--- End quote ---
kindling - touchwood - spunk - fuel - amadou - fire - ignition - wood - hearth - igniter - punk - lighter
and more than likely a few more I missed.
Igniter actually sounds reasonable as a branding name.
--- End quote ---
Many of those may already be registered trademarks. I tried things like "Striker", "Flint" and even "Fireiron" were registered. Maybe by trademark vultures systematically registering every word in the dictionary, so one could buy them in reasonble (if inflated) price for real use, but still.
I'm not even sure if "Flint & Striker" is acceptable, if "Filnt" or "Striker" are registered. How would either party ("Flint" or "Striker") attack me and how would I fight back?
It could also be made in the animesque near equivalent, symbiosis or alternative spelling ways:
Tender / Thunder / Blunder
Tumbder / Twitder / Snaptchdner
Tinbler / Tintter / Tindchat
Tindoe / TeenDeer / Tendeuer

I just thought out, what sort of associations does "Brun" brink to a native English speaker? Fart/digestive noices?
