Elon Musk and Grimes* have announced that they have a child and Musk tweeted that this was the baby's name. He's now deleted that tweet and put out one that seems to be photoshopped to show the newborn with tattoos over the face.

Anyway, what a fine name they almost certainly won't be using! Will it set a trend?

*Me neither. Canadian musician, apparently.

The spaces might be a problem.
X Æ A-12 or XAlt32Alt+0198Alt32A-12 might be alternatives

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/05/2020 14:03

Almost anything might be an alternative, @MikeUniformMike!

How would you say it, Gasp?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/05/2020 14:11

Well, I wouldn't want to start getting prescriptive. I think we should all put our personal interpretation on it. Should the baby be female, I'd pronounce it something like Katharine but for a male baby it would sound more like James.

As an aside, I thought the tattooed baby face picture was awful. Whatever possessed them??

MikeUniformMike · 05/05/2020 14:16

Oh! Thanks. I had a stab at it and thought it was Zayaya Dashtwelve.

The AE (can’t do it on my phone) was called an “ ash” in Old English, so Zasha-Twelve?

Kissey Adash Douze.

Zaia-Twelve, to rhyme with sky-a. Unless the spaces indicate glottal stops or something. Who knows? Grin

Ugh. Well, back to the drawing board, then, I thought we had our name picked out for DS but I'm not going to use it if some celebrity billionaire used it first.

I read somewhere that it’s pronounced X Ash Archangel Confused

Elon Musk is a bit of an arse though, isn't he? After saying the guys who went into the caves to rescue the lads in Thailand were probably paedophiles my perception of him changed totally.

Totally attention seeking, they've probably registered the baby's name as John or Anna.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 06/05/2020 09:46

That business with the Thai rescue was utterly beyond the pale. I took against him big time over his behaviour there. Poor baby.

Just goes to show that being a world renowned genius does not prevent you from being a total bellend.....
