[Opinions] Scheherazade and Tuesdae
The other day I was at Old Navy and the two shop assistants were named Scheherazade and Tuesdae. I know you won't believe me but it's true.

Is a Tuesdae a new ice cream I haven't heard of? Like are we gonna start having ice cream Tuesdaes now?

I believe you! There's a few years between 1976 and 2001 where Tuesdae appears in the SSA data. Same with Scheherazade, but mainly in the 60s and 70s.Scheherazade is so many kinds of amazing! Difficult to type though...I know how to spell it but my muscles hardly want to go in the right directions and hit the correct keys.

I love Scheherazade, but it isn't very viable in my opinion. Tuesdae makes me think of the puppet from "Mr. Rogers's Neighborhood."

It shouldn't be so surprising. There's a lot people with unique names. It's really funny that most of you guys like Scheherazade, which is like the most out there name I've ever heard of, but Tuesdae is real deal breaker.

Really cool!
Scheherazade is beautiful, but I don't think it's very usable. In Iran, perhaps?
Tuesdae just makes me think of "Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday..."

I think in Iran they'd be more likely to render it Shahrazad or Shahrzad. Scheherazade's an Anglicization...but anyway, yes, I do think it would be more usable there.

Dude I've had Scheherazade on my list for YEARS. That's so cool.I feel like Tuesdae would get misspelled a lot and that would be annoying, but I like Tuesday as a name.

I love Scheherazade, I've never seen this form of the name but I've met a couple Shahrazad's. Tuesdae is just silly.

Cool!I don't know how well Scheherazade would work on a real person, but I guess it works for her well!I don't like Tuesdae.

Tuesdae because week days can have ice cream too. I like Scheherazade, but it is OTT.

Because Tuesday just weren't unique enough? I kinda like Scheherazade though, but it's way too complicated in real life.
