The naming scheme is bizarre.
Knowing what "Adonis" means, I had to AI the pair...

------------

The basketball prospect twins Darius and Adonis have names with distinct and interesting meanings:

* **Darius:** This is a name of Persian origin. It comes from the Old Persian name "Dārayavahuš," which means **"he who holds firm the good"** or **"maintains possessions well."** It's a historically significant name, notably borne by several kings of ancient Persia, including Darius the Great.

* **Adonis:** This name has Greek origins, derived from the Phoenician word "adon," meaning **"lord"** or **"master."** In Greek mythology, Adonis was a strikingly handsome young man, the mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite, and became an archetype of male beauty.

So, Darius's name signifies someone who is a guardian of goodness, while Adonis's name connects to ideas of lordship and striking beauty. It's interesting how these distinct meanings are associated with the two brothers.

I asked the AI if the parents were drunk when they named the kids and it AI-chewed me out.

my favorite carnac bit was from an issue of SI from back in like 1995-96:

”High and outside.”

”Describe JR Rider at a picnic.”
