Why do we name things? More importantly, why do we choose the names we do? From the everyday to the extraordinary, the act of naming holds a certain power. It shapes our perceptions and evokes emotions. Take, for instance, the recent speculation that Jay-Z might be dedicating a champagne flavor or brand to his twins, Rumi and Sir. It sparked a debate – is it fitting to link the elegance of champagne with the, shall we say, less refined aspects of babies?
The juxtaposition is humorous, even a little jarring. Champagne, with its connotations of luxury and celebration, seems a world away from diaper changes and midnight feedings. Yet, there’s a certain audacity to it, a sense of playfulness that makes you pause and consider the possibilities.
This leads us to another intriguing question: What about naming other things, like cannabis strains, after children? While it might raise eyebrows in certain circles, the reality is that it happens. The world of cannabis, much like the world of celebrity babies, has its own set of naming conventions, often leaning towards the whimsical and the provocative.
So, whether it’s a toast to new life with a bubbly beverage or a puff of relaxation inspired by a beloved child, the names we choose reveal a little something about ourselves. They reflect our values, our humor, and perhaps even our aspirations. In the end, the art of naming is a deeply personal one, open to interpretation and always evolving.
