Fern Is a Plant Name

I'm named after a Muslim country, so I get it Fern, 20 33 miles away My parents could have chosen from a SHITLOAD of plant names like Rose or Jasmine but no, I'm a goddamn fern. I'm so sorry to hear that United Kingdom

A screenshot of a dating profile for Fern, depicted as the purple-haired anime character from Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. She complains that her parents gave her a plant name, while a reply sarcastically sympathizes with her as if “United Kingdom” were another person with an unfortunate country-based name. The joke comes from absurdly treating names and countries as interchangeable, with the anime character reinforcing the plant-name reference.
