Hipster Names
Ah, this article made me laugh out loud, “10 Ways to Avoid Hipster Baby Names.” I’m afraid the list of baby names I secretly hoard in my brain fall victim to rule #4:
Avoid the names of high-falutin’ writers.

Tennessee, and Tennyson are dripping in hipsterdom; Edith, Eudora,
and Ellison, still okay.
{W.H. Auden; Tennessee Williams; Flannery O’Connor}
