Turning your Tinder match's name into a pun has become a very popular opening line on the dating app. If you want proof, just look at exhibit A and exhibit B.

Though not always successful, this one Reddit user shared a name pun that went pretty well for him. Reddit user microwave-oven posted a screenshot of a conversation with his match named Meaghan Tuesday, and we're impressed.

Now, if you are thinking, "But that's a pretty average name...it doesn't even sound like anything funny." Well you are just not thinking outside the box.

And hey, she was actually into it.

This dude was very lucky his match's name was not spelled, "Megan". There's nothing you can really do with that.

Well Tinder people, we would say the name-pun thing is a played out trend, but if you can get creative then why not?
