Golden Years (Patreon)

Given the type of stories I write I usually end up needing scally names, redneck names, or douchebag names. For the last one I found a new site with empirical results at https://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-douchebag-names-of-all-time/chris-abraham

I can't remember all the names I use though, so I'll probably pick things in the top 20 regardless. I like the ones that are jobs and items, like Trigger, Hunter, Tanner. It feels like something someone simple would call their kid. "Imma name him Rifle. Austin Rifle so he can sign everything AR."

I'm hesitant to use Kyle for anything due to the Kyle meme.

And anytime I see the name "Brock" I just think of Brock O'Hurn.
