I never understood self-conscious, made up names. What's wrong with Christian names? Paul, Steven, James, Michael...?

Not all of us are Christians.

"I never understood self-conscious, made up names. What's wrong with Christian names? Paul, Steven, James, Michael...?"

Someone yells "Mike" and we all turn around.

That's why I became "wiz". It's a Native American name that means 'sound on prairie, made by buffalo'. 'Tsa joke, but nobody else wants the name, and it keeps me humble.

Oh, yeah. IR1RU12. Whatever that means.

Well, first very few of these names are made up.

Second if by Christian you mean Bible there is rather a dearth of female names. So you end up with girls named Keren-Happuch. (no, I am not joking)

Third not all are Christian.
