My parents nearly named me Arjen after my grandpa, pronounced pretty much the same way as in the OP. It's not an uncommon Dutch name, and pretty normal around here.

I am transgender, I want Kugyou no Tenshi to feel bad for misgendering and being a general rear end. I think you mean opallight, not Kugyou no Tenshi.

I saw an article in a (Dutch) newspaper about a kid called Tonny-boy. Not a nickname or anything, his actual name.

sweeperbravo posted:I remember hearing parents calling out to their children when I worked at a portrait studio, they had used the same naming convention. It sounded like a weird meta social studies class. "India, where's Asia?" I was nearly named Aryan, spelled Arjen, after my grandpa. It's a pretty normal name here in the Netherlands and doesn't carry the WWII connotations it does in the US/UK. My parents decided naming me after my other grandpa instead. Come to think of it though, grandpa Arjen's side of the family were Nazi sympathisers during the war, so it might not have been as innocuous as I always thought. Guess I might have dodged a bullet, but looking it up Arjen seems to be derived from Adrianus, and Aryan comes from French, meaning melody, so it's not a white pride thing at all, at least here.
