I know a lady named her kid jaxon. Which bugs me.

I thought my name was stupid for being uncommon (grady)

But it's better than being spelled like a retard.

tbh that's probably preferable to people knowing your parents named you off a video game/loving movie/tv show.

I will never understand this, anytime someone needs your name in even a remotely official capacity you're going to have to spell it out. Having one spelling for one sound simplifies things for everyone but now even the most basic of names need clarification.

Met a girl named Ailish or something when in Canada.

North America white people are suck



e: is the general rule to take an gaelic or welsh or whatever spelling of a name and just bungle it the gently caress up?

e2: Also encountered young parents with daughters named Nikita in Norway, which always makes me imagine Khruschev in girls' clothing. Though in recent years here people have just doubled down on the new testament names

If your child is a brand with an unpronounceable name then youve announced they were born atomized and dont belong to a family, community, a race, etc. There's a reason that things were better when everyone had one of four names .

(the S is for skeleton)
I have some weird convoluted not-by-blood relatives who I've never met but sometimes hear about. One of the teen girls got pregnant. Her name is Taylor, and the baby daddy's name is Brandon, so they named their daughter Braylor. :doh: Dad split the scene very quickly, so now this poor kid has not just a stupid name, but half of a deadbeat dad's name.

Is naming kids quaint old names also an obnoxious trend by now? I have to admit that if I ever had a daughter, I'd kinda want to name her Beatrix, because I love that name and she'd hate me for it her whole life.

i like the puritan thing of naming girls after virtues, like faith, hope, charity (i like charity a lot), grace, prudence etc

i have a boy tho so my never-conceived ghost daughter dodged a bullet there
