I always said if I had a boy I'd name him Kain after the dragoon guy in ff2. That name owns though. Also I never had kids so bullet dodged.

I knew someone who loved Harry Potter so much that she named her son Harry, and I'm like "Welp, there goes his future."

I like that JK Rowling picked the name Harry Potter because it was the most average name she could think of, and now because of the books success it's no longer safe.

It's cool to be above it all and name your kid whatever you want until you find the video of them online buying a ton of bubble wrap.

That and 99% of the March for science protest signs Ah yeah I get ya, "upset" is not the right term. I don't really care about names for the most part though because who really cares as long as you don't call your child "poo inhaler Mk. 6" or whatever. Kids can be ruthlessly mocked over them sure but so can kids with "regular" names. I knew a lad with the surname "Gaynor" and people would run after him chanting "gay nerd" in primary school. My own surname results in everyone who meets me making the same tired joke.

The other kids' dads are gonna give us all swirlies and steal our lunch money if they find out we named our kids after book characters. That's why we have to stick to normal names, like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

There are definitely degrees of awfulness when it comes to pop culture names, but I wouldn't really put something like Elspeth in the bad list despite coming from MTG (goony as that is) because it's at least an authentic Celtic name. There's a difference between naming your kid Mick because you like the Rolling Stones and naming them fuckin' Yaldabaoth or something.

I have a friend who works in a maternity ward. As long as you're not naming your kid ZynonThunderhead you're doing fine.

I'd want to have been named after something nerdy rather than my dad looking up the most popular name of the year and rolling with that. In a class of 20 in a town of 3000 there were 4 of us with the same drat name. Two of us had the same 3 initials because we also had the same middle name.

Punkin Spunkin posted:This may sound cool in practice but tbh having a different/exotic/rare name is not typically an advantage in the American public school system or any school prolly. Bullying is either gonna make the kid hard as hell or into some sort of Ben Shapiro like baby man. It's the Boy Named Sue sitch. People bully you for the dumbest poo poo, though. If you want your kid not to be bullied, focus on making sure they're developing their social skills, but also be attentive and make sure that their school has good anti-bullying policies.
