I worked with a woman, didn't know her very well, who told me one day that she was going to pick up Merlin after work.

Celebrities can get away with calling their children stupid names. They’re going to grow up with money, almost guaranteed success in life and aren’t going to be bullied by other children in their elite schools. Plus children of celebrities often become singers / actors / models. And unique names help you be memorable.

It's like the swastika now. For hundreds of years, from around the 4th century, it was a symbol of well-being, good luck, prosperity and peace. There's photographs of varsity sports teams from the early 20th century wearing the symbol on their shirts. It was seen as a positive symbol, and it still is in the Hindu and Jain faiths, but for most of us, its now become a symbol of hate and terror. There is too much horror attached to it to rehabilitate it, and in the same way, the name Adolf can't be rehabilitated.
Violet Smith 2 years ago
You are absolutely right, Mabelbabel. I have a book by an artist who called himself "ManWoman" in which he tells about a mystic vision he had telling him to rehabilitate the swastika (a bit of a hippie, lol). The book, called "Gentle Swastika," showcases his extensive collection of non-Nazi swastika stuff. It was also a good luck/prosperity/long-life symbol here in the west (right up until the Nazis co-opted and ruined it). It was a happy, positive, joyful symbol used in greeting cards, food and drink names and labels, architectural fixtures, you name it, much the same way we still use a horseshoe or four leaf clover today. This artist also had numerous swastikas tattooed on his body, and when he visited parts of Asia, he would get very positive reactions from monks etc. A different story here in the west, where I imagine he'd have a lot of 'splaining to do. An interesting book, if you can get a copy.

I've a friend who is a huge Star Wars fan. His surname is Walker, and he persuaded his wife to call their first daughter Skye as her middle name. Her first name is an old family name and nothing to do with the films, so without using her middle name, she has a standard name (think "Elizabeth Walker" or "Charlotte Walker" for example), but he's hoping she chooses to go by her middle name eventually-he's brainwashing her with regular film nights!

CHANGE YOUR NAME! It is NOT a big expensive hairy deal! You can even DIY (I did) by printing out the order for the judge to sign at many online sites. Then go to the courthouse anf get on the docket! I did it muself in the 80s and it cost me all of 50 in court costs. Then take your court order to Social Security for a new card, then head to your DMV. There is a space for "changes" on the back of utility and credit card bills. (DO NOT buy the "name change kits" soold online and marketed to brides at JP offices - gimmick!) I was adopted and my adopters changed my name, despite my objections, to something I loathed. I changed it on my 18th birthday. You DON'T have to live with a crapoy name.

You don’t have to live with a name you don’t like, but you have to remember to answer to it and that’s why my attempt at change didn’t work.

I was teased as a Cassie, but I don't think that's all that unusual. The oddest I encountered growing up was a very European white family with kids all named after wild animals. I was friends with Wolf, Bear, and Hawk. I thought their names were pretty cool.

Vuk (wolf) is common and nice name in Serbia. In Croatia it is rather common name Lav (lion). Also some fruit and tree names are normal (cherry, quince, fir, birch...)

I'm not sure if I met her before, but the first time I remember meeting my grandmother and some of my mother's siblings, I asked one uncle what is last name was. "You mean to tell me your name is Blaise Blais?!?" "Yes" "Who named you like that?" "Me. I named him like that" my GM said. So, I started a rant right in front of her (I was probably 6-7 y.o.), walking to-and-fro in front of them. My uncle was laughing, my GM was shocked, and my mother told me repeatedly to shut up. I was just explaining that if she thought about it, she would have known her kid would have been the victim of bullying and finished with "What else did you do???". LOL. I was right, though.

There are some countries that have veto over ridiculous names. F9lks, you are naming HUMAN BEINGS, not babies.

I met one 'Latrina' once. Not Spanish or Mexican or from a culture that may have a different meaning. A white American woman. I suppose Katrina was just too common for her parents. But jumping further than L was too much work

My daughter has a friend named Lavanderia. I asked her mom how she came up with that name and she said it means lavender in Spanish. 🤦🏻♀️. Honey… no. It means laundromat.

I got teased as a kid in the 80s/90s for my name. It's Crystal. That's literally banal now compared to some modern names XD The point is, kids will tease and mock other kids for ANYTHING, but don't make it worse by saddling them with something like "Abcde" or "Khaleesi". Incidentally, I was named after a chandelier (not joking), so my name is spelled the basic way one would spell the noun "crystal". The number of times I'd tell someone my name was "Crystal" and then have them write/spell it with a K or an I or H or a combination of all three... whew XD

I used to work in healthcare and had a patient named Evel Pickle. Last name was family name (met other Pickles) and first name was after the stuntman Evel Kenievel.
