    Folks, before you name your children, don’t make it easy for the big corporations to sue you. Those who “own” (i.e. use the government to suppress your right to free speech) a conlang, be it Dothraki, Klingon, or Tolkien’s language care far more about profit than culture.

    Fuck that. My kids have what most people would consider fairly common names, but I’ll name them what I damn well please, and the very last thing I’m going to give a shit about is what some corpo thinks of it.
