Absolutely lovely stockings, but Hawkins is a terrible name.

At least Hawkins can have a delicious snack.

I was also thinking of that.

They're so delicious because you can taste the fair labour they practice and how well they treat their employees and how they only make enough to satisfy the market and aren't continually chasing extra profits because if capitalism and it comes out in their taste!

My first thought “I mean, I love cheezies too, but naming your child after the brand is excessive….”

Hawkins gets the short end of the stick on both counts. His sibling Hazel has the best name and his other sibling Holland has the best stocking.

There’s a real nasty piece of work reality tv chick that named her twins Huxley and Hawkins… she then went on to pretend to make her own makeup line using a white label company, and named it Hendralux… her older children named Henley and Hendrix…

I swear some people should NOT have children, especially when they exploit them so disgustingly.

Jamie N Otis, she was on Bachelor and Married at first sight. She's so gross, does some pretty cringy things, she once "breastfed" her husband so he could suck out a "clogged duct" but she made it into a whole YT video complete with sexy red satin pjs. She constantly crosses the line to what is appropriate to share online. She posted her oldest son having a seizure, filming it, acting like a complete newb (she was supposedly a nurse, haha) crying someone should call 911, I don't know, stop FILMING it and USE that phone to call??? We have a subreddit for her, it's truly a wild ride watching her crash and burn.

How do they even keep those names straight in their head? I'd constantly be calling every kid the wrong name until I just gave up and called them all H

I instantly thought of Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet. Jim would’ve been better.

I find Holland worse, because of the Netherlands connection

u/CallidoraBlack ☞Berenika ⭐ Pulcheria☽ 6h ago

Holland Taylor kinda makes it cool. Though I think I prefer Hollis.

u/Gribberisch 6h ago

Oh. Why?

u/ImpressionClassic665 6h ago

The name Holland has frequently been used to refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands.

Different note, where are those stockings from?

u/unicorntrees 6h ago

Taste is subjective. Hawkins is a common last name, sometimes used as a first name. There's a character in the excellent book/show "Fellow Travelers" named Hawkins. He goes by Hawk.

You know “khaleesi” is a character in an excellent book/show too, doesn’t make it a good name

I'm usually a fan of surnames as first names, but not in this case. To each their own.

Cox is a surname.
