T-Rex: Sometimes someone is SO POPULAR while having their name that they ruin that name for everyone else!

T-Rex: I speak of course of Jughead!

T-Rex: I speak of Jughead, but also of Beyonce, of Lolita. These names are so associated with individuals that people were like "okay fine I guess we'll stop naming our babies that".
Dromiceiomimus: People were naming their babies "Jughead"?
T-Rex: SOMEONE WAS!!

Utahraptor: But none of these people are as popular as Mario, and people still name their babies "Mario"!
T-Rex: It's-a true!

T-Rex: But I've been working on a 15,000 word essay on why player identification with an avatar THEY control, honed over days of playtime, makes Mario a name they associate more with their own actions than an unmet third party, thereby making it eminently suitable for the naming of their child.

Off panel: Not to blow up your whole essay, but if your thesis is correct, why aren't people ALSO naming their children "Sonic"?
T-Rex: Because, Utahraptor!
T-Rex: They're COWARDS!!
