HelpRe: I’m bored so...
in reply to a message by Gaia
1. No idea.
2. That would be a really weird things for me, culturally, and so I don't think I would.
3. My middle name is my maternal grandparents' last name, so I think that would be nice.
4. If it weren't for societal reactions I think I'd ignore gender with naming a boy, since I like fewer names that care considered masculine than ones that are considered feminine. That being said, I particularly like the name Dov for a boy but know it can be hard to be a male named Dov in the US because it seems feminine to people so I would go with that or use Dove. I love Dylan or Linden for a girl, but again there are lots of things I could go with.
5. Eh.
6. I'm not sure what "genuine" means here. A name that isn't more recently invented? I don't care.
7. They're fine, and I do like clarity with how to pronounce things, but probably annoying in the US for paperwork purposes.
8. They're fine. My name seems like a variation because of how it was transliterated, but it's a valid transliteration.
9. No nickname really stuck for me with most people. I don't think I'd mind one, but I do really like my name. For other people they are fine. Some nicknames I really like.
10. No, though I do think I like a wider variety of names as I think more about them and I have thought more about them in times when I am at home and bored more often.
11. My family will get over it. If they really can't stand to use the name, they can use a nickname. They wouldn't find out until after the birth anyway, though they might know the initials because of how likely I am to give an "honor name" that would start with a grandparent's initial.
12. Willow is the first one that comes to mind. If we're talking top 10, Olivia. From the boy's list Noah.
13. Making twins' names very similar. Matching all the kids' initials. Juniors are also weird to me.
14. Something offensive is what first comes to mind. Also if it really seemed like the name was 1) a joke and 2) something that would be difficult for the kid to go through life with.
