    Taking names (with meanings) from other languages and then calling them “bad scrabble hands” as if you’re not just mimicking every Brit who is angry that our languages use their Latin letters in ways they don’t like.

    English names are all just jobs. Tanner. Weaver. Miller. Chandler.

      Hey now, English names can also be place names (eg Atwater, Beckham, Howe) or French (Beaumont, Granger, Romilly etc).
