"Just get a cat, they don't care." Funny thing is, I put more care and consideration into picking my cat's name than these parents did for their human children. I looked into what kind of names catch a cat's attention (short with a rising pitch). Then I searched for a foreign name that fits, to make sure he won't be confused by someone else with the same name. In the end I picked Sepi, a Finnish diminutive for Seppo or Sebastian. He actually listens to it! Turns out cats do care, if you think about their needs instead of your quirky dumb ideas. Just like children!

​@@a_puntato29 Oh yeah, coming over is a different skill you have to teach your cat separately. I trained Sepi to come over when I say "here" in a specific cadence or when I tap my shin. He comes over for either signals if he's already on his feet, but if he is settled down comfortable then I have to do both a couple times to convince him.

Not the name should make the child special, the child should make the name special. I don't understand why parents want to give their kids an extraordinary name thinking it will make their kid unique when their kid already IS unique. My ex-colleague has a now adult daughter named Sarah. Sarah is the most common name ever, but it sounded so special when my colleague said it. It was always "My Sarah is coming to visit me", "When my Sarah was younger, she had this as her favorite toy", "My Sarah used to love spaghetti, she always looked like a mess when eating them". Yes, the name Sarah isn't extraordinary, but this was HER Sarah, and coming from her, you would have thought the name was the rarest, most special name ever because it was attached to someone that meant so much to my colleague. Please, parents, don't be scared to give your kid a basic name. I promise it won't be basic to you because your child is wearing it, and your child will make it special for you.

[@Hannah-173]

This is such a sweet sentiment that makes me think more about my own experience and might help me recontextualize it. but honestly I always hated sharing my basic ass name with other kids in school. Especially when one of them was my bully and it hurts when you hear people calling your name and you turn around, but they’re actually talking to another kid. Now as a small business owner in a field where you use your name, I’ve had to change my name to be unique enough for trademark law/website/social media handle reasons. It’s so frustrating. I won’t be inventing new names for my kids, but just proper names that aren’t in the top 50 popular names that year.

[@katie6731]

Many of us who grew up in the 80's and 90's got tired of having five kids named Jennifer or Tiffany in a class of thirty students. Then, celebrities started naming their kids things like "Apple." Parents got competitive about their children being the _only one_ with a certain name. It snowballed from there. When the Trajedeighs of the world start having kids en masse, there will probably be a trend to use simply-spelled, "old fashioned" names. We'll end up with everyone knowing several children named Sarah. Or, maybe that's just my perspective because my name is a backlash against the way my father was named. 🤷🏻‍♀️😁

My name is slightly less popular now, but was one of the most popular baby girl names during the 50s & 60s (so I rarely see another woman with my name below the age of 50). I have lots of problems with my parents and how they raised me, but I think they named me beautifully and perfectly. Common enough to not confuse people, but unique enough that I am usually the only one in the room with my name. Common/popular names can be quite pretty. If someone wants to give their kid a unique name, there are lots of beautiful names that fell out of fashion in past decades that deserve to be revived.

​@@intercat4907I'd add that the Anglo-Saxons also did a bit of "freestyle writing" back then too, since everyone written as they speak, which doesn't make a cohesion writing system with the massive dialectal variance. And then people mesh it up, French who didn't seam to update the writing and the rich wanting to be more fancy (i.e. weird) started to talk differently make it a pretty good mess.

You can in fact sue your parents for tge cost of a name change if you can reasonably prove it caused emotional distress. Ones that are altered spellings of normal names wont have a case, but ones like "Boba fett", "Sexy" , or full on multi-word phrases definitely have their fair shot at it.

My favourite "Tradgedeigh" is the Belgian couple who named their 12 kids: Alex, Axel, Xela, Lexa, Xael, Xeal, Exla, Leax, Xale, Elax, Alxe, and Laex. It's okay, there are still 12 other possible combinations!

I've been tormented by having a name no english speaker can spell or pronounce, but at least it wasn't intended as a joke. Giving a kid a name that will ruin their quality of life should be considered child abuse.

My name is one that most English-speakers are incapable of pronouncing... because English doesn't know what to do with glottal stops or pharyngeal fricatives. Where I live now, it's a completely normal and even somewhat common name. Yay!

[@commandercorl1544]

the justification from a lot of these parents is "they can just go by ___" but that assumes the child will only deal with social life, schools, workplaces, courts, hospitals, and so on, will all be calling them by their actual name, that's just how it works. how about instead of having the kid's NICKNAME be ___, the name is just ___?

[@RGC_animation]

[@bopich228]

When I’m struggling to pick a name for a character of a fantasy counterpart culture, I just use some lesser known historical figures. For example, my Breton character in ESO is named Antonin Artaud after some obscure French schizo performance artist

[@Failedlegend]

@@bopich228 i often just use words from different languages (latin and japanese are my go to but i use others) and smash them together so like a cleric of a sun goddess i would look at like healer, helper, priest, holy, etc. and mash it together with something like sun, fire, light, bright, etc. Sun = Taiyo (Japanese) Heal = Sana (Latin) Santaiyo I rushed this one but you get the idea Especially helps when you trying to make names for cultures that you don't know many names for, just translate to french, german, nordic, etc. I'm a game master (aka dungeon master) for Pathfinder so I need to come up with ALOT of names, it also helps me be better at coming up with names on the fly since I have so many varied names in my brain.

[@TheCrazyBellLady]

We had a baptism of twin baby boys at my church, and if the parents had used either of the names alone, I would have said, "Oh, that's cute and unique." But since they called them Lincoln and Bentley, all I could think was that their sister had to be Mercedes.

[@serim.7075]

My nephew's name is Raiden. He's always being targetted for petty insults by kids at school because people think he was named after a video-game character (Mortal Kombat). In reality, his father, my brother in law, is Japanese. Raiden is an actual God in Japanese mythology/Shintoism. It pisses me off how people are just so prone to bully someone because they're different. Raiden doesn't respond if we call him by his first name, he only wants to be called as Ray. He turned 11 two months ago and his birthday wish was that he wants to change his name. His parents are actually considering to change it to Ray... Raiden is a cool-ass name, I'm trying my best to give him support to embrace his unique and ethnic name. Some people are just mean, man.

[@MahiMahi-yu5jo]

Raiden is an awesom name and it's one of the alternates of Raijin. Raijin and Fujin are the Gods that protected Japan from invaders. I bet the kanji for the name is also cool. Kids can be cruel, but their parents perpetuate this by refusing to learn pronunciation. I remember snapping back at some of my clients when they asked me to pronounce their name right. I had said i'd do it if they could pronounce my name right. My name is phonetically easy even by Indian standards...

[@IronWolfArts]

Radien is a decent name- it’s spelled as it sounds and it’s the name of a god/godess/deity/spirit/angel; I’ve seen kids with name like Freya and Gabriel and never got teased for it. However, kids will ALWAYS find something to bully another kid about, even if it’s the most normal or mundane thing. For example, I have a basic ass American/English name: Max. But certian kids would always say things like “why did they give you a dog name?” or they’d call me “Maxi Pad” after the feminine hygiene product. Kids are just evil unfortunately.

[@joannachen76]

@@MahiMahi-yu5jo The kanji for Raiden is literally "Thunder and Lightning". It seems like a cool name, but for anyone who reads kanji it's still a cringy name more fit for a story character than an actual person.

[@jolteon345]

You don't need to be unique. It doesn't matter if there are 1 million other kids with the same name. Just name your kid something that you like and doesn't risk ruining their lives.

[@SingingSealRiana]

On the other hand, being the 3 mary, tom or Luisa is not that great either. I would go for a normal name, that is established and all, but not the most common cause to common and to of both lead to confusion

[@Kartoffelkamm]

As a Kevin, I have to mildly disagree; literally every time any of my teachers called me to the front of the class, there were at least 3 other students who also got up.

[@jolteon345]

@@Kartoffelkamm That honestly sounds more like a school problem than a name problem. I had other people in my grade with the same name and never ran into a situation where two of us were in the same class (I only had one class where two kids had the same name and one used a well known nickname), and then the teachers not using a way to specify makes it worse. Unless your school had a massive overflow of “Kevin”s, they never should have put the classes in that situation.

[@Hexer404]

I was almost named Emma. There were ALWAYS at least one or two Emma’s in my classes growing up, and no matter how much I liked the name, I was grateful I wasn’t another one.
