"My name is Austin and I absolutely hate it. I've known a few Austins in my life and im the only one who actually went by Austin. My best friend growing up was named Austin and went by
"white-nigg" (not kidding) because even white nigg is better than austin. Its a soulless name that evokes nothing in the brain except an image of the dullest most plain jane white guy youve ever known. It doesnt fit anyone who has it no one looks like an austin" Oct. 28, 2019:
