Guys! Guys!

I've just realized the fact that Tim Drake's fake name is "Alvin Draper" is the funniest thing ever.

I was looking up baby names for *very good reasons, okay?* and this is what I learned.

Alvin: Wise friend. From the Old English Aetheiwine, and also Aefwine, both meaning noble friend.

Also a diminutive of Alvar: An Old English name meaning elf army.


Elf Army, people.

Just. Tim! And he can tell people that is his name with a straight face!

And not just elf army — little elf army!

Hee!

And how does "draper" compute... hmm... drapers are dressers, costumers.

I love it.

Oh, Mr. Dixon, sometimes I think I can't love you more, and then I find out there are things I hadn't known and -- yes.
