I live in West Rutland, Vermont and was not aware we even have a Mt. McKinley. Guy sounds like an idiot.

Crow Jane posted:Yup. My mom nixed Galadriel, so dad had to get sneaky and actually find it in a baby name book before suggesting it. At least he picked a nice name out of all the fantasy ones he could have snuck by your mom. Aleta's definitely not a terrible name. I don't know what it is about girl names, though. One of my friends and his wife seriously considered naming a daughter Amara after a D&D character... but his wife wound up having a boy, which received a perfectly nice name in common usage.

It's the Italian and Spanish form of Aurelius, as in Marcus. My niece has the feminine form of that name as well, which happens to have been the name of Julius Caesar's mother.

It's a reasonable name but it's still funny hearing a mom yelling at little Aurelio coz he won't stop loving around while she tries to enjoy her pumpkin spice latte.

I recently got into a conversation with my parents about how they chose my name, and it came out that, had I been born a girl, they would have named me Bevin. Luckily my middle name would have been Nicole so I could have used that for the rest of my life instead of Bevin. What the hell parents?

With Americans, just assume that 'white' is perfectly synonymous with 'Anglo-American' and things will start making sense.

I have a friend who got his daughter's name, Aven, from Magic The Gathering. I think it wasn't so much naming her 'after' any particular card as saying "I quite like the sound of that." But his wife knew the source of it was Magic and she was still cool with it. Apart from the nerdy provenance I think it's actually a nice name.

My ex-husband insisted that if we ever had a daughter, he wanted to name her after the female lead in the new Zorro movies. Elena isn't a bad name, but a. I knew the provenance, and b. I would have secretly always thought of the FFVII character.  thank god I'm not a mom.

But... but that would be Haeven? or am I missing  I'm pretty sure it's the heaven-spelled-backwards one, but I haven't seen it written anywhere, the girl seemed to have a slight accent so her family may have moved here from somewhere else where the name would be normal if Neva.

Some poor baby was named Felony Meth by her jailed parents and her new grandma guardian wants to respect their wishes and keep the name. A couple people have suggested Melanie Beth, which I think is a nice compromise of respecting the sound of the names without dooming her to a lifetime of getting picked on/getting resumes thrown away (as a best case scenario).
