[Opinions] Bayr
in reply to a message by Tippins
баяр Bayar is a Mongolian name meaning fortunate, happy, or rich. It's a very common and handsome name for Mongolians. Those naughty Russian children should be more appreciative of ethnic minorities!

Thanks for this! I had forgotten what Bayr had told me it meant. I didn't know it was common either. He was talking in the van once about how he had moved around a lot and gotten picked on a ton because "that's the way Russians are," and that one of the things that had come up was "with ridiculous name..." I said Hey is it really considered ridiculous? and he said No it's not ridiculous, but it is rare.
Of course he was in St. Petersburg.
It is rather ironic because he was an ethnic minority himself in St. Petersburg and is actually very racist against Koreans in America.
I think it's a rockin' name, myself.
