Oh so Polly is a normal name and so is Esther but you put them together and suddenly everyone's always asking "Who the fuck is named Polyester?"

I was just joking about being called Polyester but have you never heard of anyone called Ann-Marie or John-Paul or anything like that? It's called a double barrel first name

u/Alternative-Code4755 14d ago

I pretty sure it's not because it's the combination of two regular names but because polyester is a type of fabric commonly used in shorts and other apparell.

u/M4thecaberman mr Context hat. I want your SAUCIEST SAUCE 15d ago

I thinkt the reference here is that there's a popular Art and writing trend going on right now about an AU Where Peter Parker, who you might also know as Spider-Man, is transgender and her new name has pretty much been decided to be Petra, who we can assume is also the OP's new name post-transition by the specifics we've been given.

42

u/AgentChris101 15d ago

I also find it kind of unique that Petra Parker as a named character has had three appearances, one in an Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon and another in an animated Spider-Verse movie. And only one comic appearance (As a disney princess themed spider person lol)
