Welcome to #Checkin for Wednesday, July 21st 2021!

What's in a name? @Christoph S mentioned some on another Diaspora postthread are discussing namesakes (people with the same name). Have you encountered others with the same name as you? What was the experience like? Or, what's the meaning of your name - literally, or how was your name chosen for you? Have you had the honour of naming others (humans or non-humans)? How did you arrive at the decision?

As always, non-related topics are welcome. (Isn't it fun to have more than one discussion simultaneously?)
