If it was a girl, Elaine, but that would be weird because that is my name! 😂

I'd never give them any names that they could be picked on for. So no unusual names such as X Æ A-12

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kids will find ways to pick on literally any name.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Some more than others.

Had a friend with a classmate named Anakin and he's still in all the school memes post-grad.

That's not weird. Both my mom and me as well as a girl I help with are all Tinas (one Celestina, one Valentina, and one Christina).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's interesting how Tina is a diminutive of many other names. This happens with its masculine counterpart Tino too, such as Tarantino, Costantino, and Martino. The diminutive of the name Elaine is Lanie, it's not exactly the same but similar enough!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It does? I've never seen someone called Tino before.

I'll say it does get confusing though. A lot of people use "Tina" (which is short for my post-adoption legal name too, though only for spelling) and so when there's a "message for Tina" or "order up, Tina" when a food order is ready, everyone who is there stands up. Doesn't help that not only is there a Celestina (my birth mom), a Valentina (me, hence also being "Leni" to some people), and a Christina (the sweet kid who imprinted with me, like pseudomom status), but also a Clementina (grandmother) and an Augustina (great grandmother) and it was a pain, for example, sorting through paperwork when my maternal grandfather passed.

I could give you an answer now, but that answer would be obsolete by the time of filling the paperwork. Only uuidgen knows my true answer.

I wanted to name my daughter Zelda. Mrs Pano vetoed it.

The Z makes it sound sexy. Also Moxy got shot down.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would like to call them Ramond Luxury Yacht. But i won't because nobody would pronounce it correctly.

Now seriously, we deliberately chose first names for our children that would be easy to pronounce in most languages. They also got slightly more exotic second names in case they didn't like their first names.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Who would find throat warbler mangrove hard to pronounce?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

This site is such an anti-Semitic cesspool.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I heard that it is supposedly forbidden in my country to name a child "Satan". I live in a pretty progressive/ not very religious country, so I find that absolutely moronic. I would totally ask if it was possible to assign that as a second name.

And even though my low low bar, I would probably never name my child after any brand, place or food item. Names that sugest stupidity are also off the list.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My wife shot down Matias.

I'd never pick a name that uses "eigh" instead of "y" also never Keith.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

How about Mateighas?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

What about Kenneth instead of Keith?

You could even call him Kenneigh for short!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I really wanted to name my daughter Ceilidh, but my wife would not stand for it. I was even willing to compromise down to Ceili! She also objected to Cadence and Victory.

Somehow got her to agree to Gynhwyfar and Clothilde and Yetska, though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

oh, Cadence sounds so neat

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There's actually another kid in her class with that name, so it wouldn't have even been that weird!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I will name my kid what I want to name them - part of my desires when choosing a name are to pick something they won't hate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think Basil is a really cute name, but I think my SO will say no. The opposite where there are five Sams, three Sara(h)s, and two Maxes (M&F) in a class of 30 is annoying though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Some people have this tradition to name their kids after x or y relative, I would never do that.
