"This board is for the discussion of names and their meaning, history, and usage"
The Opinions Board "is for the discussion of baby names, character names, and related topics."
Topics of this thread (British naming rules; who changes their name and why; a feature about names in contemporary media) look like they're about name usage & history to me.
Whatever - it doesn't matter. Check out the articles! The feature is kind of fluffy, but the one about name changes is pretty fun. Especially the part about Mr A. Dick becoming Jazz Funk. And the observations about names getting targeted by the makeover Zeitgeist.
