Just when you thought you’d seen it all, the Tinder name punning trend has sunk to an even deeper level of shame.

This one is really so bad that you almost have to give its creator credit. It comes from Redditor Cigzilla, who added, “Well, I thought it was clever.”

We’ll give you a second to stop groaning.

It’s solid as a name-based pun goes, but you’re really taking a chance relying on Sean Connery’s accent as the foundation of your opener. Yes, his unique Scottish accent is iconic, but it’s also ancient, as cultural references go. So it’s entirely possible that your match has no idea who he is.

At this point, making plays on people’s names is a truly tired way of starting a conversation. Who knows if that's why Shavin never replied... Womp, womp.

It may be tough to make chit chat when you only have limited info about someone, but honestly we’re going to have to up our game.

In the meantime, thoughts and prayers to all those girls named Alexa out there.
