Headcanon Hell: DC #2

SO Jason Todd canonically thinks he's bad at naming things, aka one scene where he says ‘hence redhood’. And well, he doesn't have the best record with it, if I'm honest. From the limited knowledge I have, his choices are mostly somewhat bland and too direct, thus the ‘dog’ situation.

BUT what if his random name suggestions are genuinely liked among his family and friends. And by random I mean he talks about the books he's currently reading and the person in question links it to their own naming problem - thinking Jay's favourite character's name sounds pretty good. Not that he's aware of it.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a similar promt used in fan fiction in the form of Jay using names from books, but not in a humorous way. It has more potential than just that though.

Dick, blabbering: And so Kor'i and I have decided that Mar'i/Mary is a good name for our daughter because it works for both planets, … I'm still not sure if I like it as a name though, it's nice because it's my mother's name, but also a bit heavy because of that … we still haven't thought about the legal paperwork … what her full name on Earth should be. I've been using way too many names, now that I think about it, Dick, Richy, Richard John Grayson, sometimes Wayne, and Kor'i has never changed hers, so it's still Kory Anders and I have no idea how we should combine it …. Jason, reading Anne of Green Gables, not really listening beyond the fact that his niece's name will be ‘Mar'i/Mary’: I'm curious if Aunt Marilla was called Mary/Mar'i by her friends in her youth…. Dick: Marilla? Jason, still not paying attention: … or maybe they called her Amaryllis, flower nicknames for girls were quite common (or not) and there is a connection too … Dick: Amaryllis? … Marilla Grayson … --- Selina, discussing potential names for her and Bruce's daughter: And why is Helena not a good choice? Bruce, being himself: Because we already have Helena in the family. Selina: Huntress would not mind it. What else would you suggest then? Bruce, listing the names of his late family members: Well, there's Martha, of course, …. Jason, talking to Lian on the phone about his favourite author: Well, she didn't just wrote Pride and Prejudice, there's also Sense and Sensibility which started out as Elinor and Marianne … Yes … No … There's also Emma and Lady Susan … maybe you should stick to your lecture for now, Matilda is also quite a fun read … Bruce and Selina together: Elinor, Emma, Susan …
