Onomastics
Onomastics or onomatology is the study of the origin, history, and use of proper names.Onomastics originates from the Greek ὀνομαστικός (onomastikós), which translates to "of or belonging to naming," from ὄνομα (ónoma) meaning "name."Toponymy or toponomastics, the study of place names, is one of the principal branches of onomastics. Anthroponomastics is the study of personal names. Onomastics can be helpful in data mining, with applications such as named-entity recognition, or recognition of the origin of names. An orthonym is the proper name of the object in question, the object of onomastic study.
Gender studies
Onomastics have been used extensively in gender studies, to infer the gender of personal names in quantitative research. In most countries and cultures, the method is very accurate, with a precision in the range of 95–99%.

You're The Enemy
by: Screeching Weaseli stand here bored and look at you. clapping like monkeys in the zoo. a horde of maladjusted miscreants all pumped and primed. just what could possibly be limping through your one-track minds? i can't believe you wonder why i think that you're the enemy. you don't have anything to say: dictate the speed at which we play. we are your tv for the night so just shut up and dance. waste some time trying to get inside each other's pants. then thank us nicely for the background music- you're the enemy.
