it's more like child of love, there's nothing derogatory in it

"ai" mean love and "ko" means child, but it's possible that it means shild of love... However I don't think it's derogatory, I've just heard quite a few people saying they dislike it because of it means "love child"

So, you equate a child conceived out of love to be a bastard then? How compassionate and forward-thinking.

Oh no! Absolutely not! I would never say that and I absolutely don't consider a child conceived out of love to be a bastard. What I meant was, that I have heard people say they don't like the name becuase it means "love child", they didn't like the name because what it means. I don't think it's anything wrong with the name or the meaning. I just really like the name. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
