An Abundance of Katherines*
The Game Theory of Baby Naming
Katy Blumer-Kate Donahue',
Katie Fritz', Kate Ivanovich', Katherine Lee', Katie Luo', Cathy Meng', and Katie Van Koevering
'Cornell University†

Abstract
In this paper, we study the highly competitive arena of baby naming. Through making several Extremely Reasonable Assumptions (namely, that parents are myopic, perfectly knowledgeable agents who pick a name based solely on its "uniqueness"), we create a model which is not only tractable and clean, but also perfectly captures the real world. We then extend our investigation with numerical experiments, as well as analysis of large language model tools. We conclude by discussing avenues for future research.

Was there ever a crossover moment when these demographics could find love together? Could a hungry wolf in a broken hat and dungarees get lifted by the nostrils by the steam off a hot apple pie and lifted into the kitchen of a human woman who's reading Forcibly Taken By The Evil Billionaire Alpha?

This suggests that quantum field theory is an example of a Skyrim that is its own anti-Skyrim, and thus a truly neutral theory. If you get this joke... I'm sorry.

Touhou cosmological lore: - the Buddhists under Enma-O/King Yama bought out all the other punitive afterlives and consolidated them into a corner of the Greek Tartarus because Hecate offered cheap rent and lots of space.

Touhou is a series of games where a woman with grapes on her dress can thirst massively over her boss, who is "what if Henry Kissinger were a transgender Buddhist monk so corrupt she became an oni intentionally". Also they look like this.

The FlyDubai co-pilot who stabbed his captain and sent Flight 1073 diving toward the ground had previously been banned from flying by Oman over concerns he had adopted radical ideological views, but was hired irregardless of that. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Awp! Now you're revising yourself from "inherently a violent person". Looks like you recognized the reactionary implications of that phrase but refuse to admit that you done goofed. 🎵

"If your worldview requires a violent institution to enforce sectionalization of the means of production, it's because you're inherently a violent person." 1. Yeah I'm inherently evil and incapable of goodness, very left-wing of you to say. 2. So u support that sectionalization, then?

"Have you considered that individual rights need to be enforced, which is necessarily fascism? Checkmate libs, the only alternative to fascism is a society where individuals have no rights and are subsumed into a greater collective." I tell you hwaet.
