<li>Could do some Jeff VanderMeer texts? Like, there&rsquo;s Ghost Bird in Southern Reach, and there&rsquo;s the strange bird, and there&rsquo;s Borne who was named almost deliberately&hellip;</li>
<li>Texts with weird names (esp in &lsquo;normal&rsquo; contexts) that just treat them as normal.</li>
</ul>
<p>Do I write this as a prose poem?</p>
<hr />
<p>Names bear power, I promise myself, my characters promise each other. Names bear power and yet we are in so many ways beholden to them. They bear power over us, even if we don&rsquo;t want them to. They bear power over us sometimes <em>because</em> we don&rsquo;t want them to. We don&rsquo;t choose them, do we? At least most of us don&rsquo;t. The vast majority don&rsquo;t, even, to the point where the joke goes in trans circles, &ldquo;Nice name, did your mom pick that out for you?&rdquo;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s true enough, more often than not.</p>
