@etymologynerd: I think this relates to my earlier video on sound symbolism and the Bouba-Kiki effect:@etymologynerd The way words sound inform how we use them, which is also why we say couple names in a particular order: @etymologynerd #linguistics #language #names #music #poetry

I did a experiment on my own class and I basically used my first name and last name whenever I introduce my name and etc and my first name ends with A and my Last name ends with A so it kinda of rhymes but anyways whenever someone says my name they use my first and last name even if they don’t have to differentiate me from another person

i feel like ppl saying celebrity names in general aren’t getting it because it’s rarer to NOT call a celeb by their full name 😭

there was a girl at my old school called Anna, but her full name was Anna scott miles I don’t think anyone just referred to her as Anna. Everyone called her Anna Scott miles
