YOU'RE the "idjit"

I think that the point is that "serendipity" is not a name, it is a noun meaning "a gift for finding usefull things accidently". It would be like having your name be cornucopia, or horseshoe, or telephone. Sabrina and Esmeralda on the other hand, are proper nouns useable as names only.
