      And if they settle on they/them pronouns, you could have an inverted non-binary tree.

          You’ll have to settle for naming your child after one of their public keys, but then your child will only be able to talk to them.

      Ada is in fact named after a person, thus completing the circle.

    A friend of mine named his dog Byte. The dog is very playful, and has the habit of running in the direction of other people he meets.

    When the dog does that my friend tries to call him back shouting: “BYTE!! BYTE!!”. People get really scared when this happens 😂

    Okay, not so funny if you are the one being approached by the dog.
