HelpRe: Random names
in reply to a message by Sofia
Is anyone actually called Skinner? There are SO many bad associations with this name. Firstly it sounds like you're going to skin an animal! There's Seymour Skinner from the Simpsons and B. F. Skinner the behavioural psychologist whose ethics were a bit dodgy. If that wasn't enough, the sound of if is awful!
Breed is also ridiculous and doesn't even need explaining why.
Durward and Humbert sound really slow and stodgy and backwards.

Yup, there really are or were Skinners out there. I’m sure in most cases it’s a transferred family surname.
