Your Hosts, Martha Wordhunter and Grant Bookhoarder

Here’s a tweet I liked from Jeremy London.

If we named people the same way we did a thousand years ago, we’d have dudes name things like Darren the Depressed or Isaac the Uninsured.

And Grant, it made me wonder, you know, what would you be named if you were named that way?

What would I be named? Oh, I don’t know.

So it’s about my main characteristic. I guess.

Or your main characteristic at the moment?

I immediately went to Martha the Curious.

Martha the Curious.

Yeah.

So what would be your main negative one, though?

A negative one?

About me?

That’s if.

Well, curious could work more than one way, I guess.

That’s true.

Martha, who ends up with squid ink on her face, because she says, what’s this creature?

I might be Grant the Scowler or Grant the Parchment Hoarder.

I like the Parchment Hoarder. That’s good.

We’d love to hear what your name would be if you were named a thousand years ago.

Let us know on Twitter @wayword.
