    There’s a push by younger boomers to change the name to “Jones” apparently.

    Everyone just thought the same thing in response to that too.

          Honestly, I read about it a bit. I’m not entirely against it. My mom was born 61, and there was a pretty clear difference in her and her age peers than her older sisters, all 10+ years older than her. For instance, she was an avid progressive, as with most of the people her age she associated with, the older siblings (except her gay brother) are all trump supporters. I don’t know per se that that’s generational, exactly. But I could see wanting to distance yourself from certain aspects of boomers
