If I have children, it will largely because I think it will be fun to name them. For example, I want to name my first child Debian.

Recently, I had the idea that it would be cool if children were named so that their first name or nickname was the same as their initials. For example, Benjamin Edward Newton would be BEN. Since my last name is Hill, the only name I can think of is Asher Scott Hill which, of course, would be Ash.

When was young and went by “Ben,” I could never decide if I would put BCH or BEN in the high score sections of video games and I think my plan will remove this ambiguity from my children’s lives.
