HelpRe: June on a boy?
in reply to a message by Caroline Mae
No, just no. When I take a notion for a strange name, I ask myself the question: Would *I* be happy to walk into a roomful of strangers and introduce myself as [insert name here], or would I be embarrassed? If a name fails that test, it shouldn't be given to a real child.
ETA: Just to clarify ... I'm thinking in terms of formal situations in particular, like a businesswoman making a presentation. I've grudgingly ruled out GP names like Absynthe and Tiger in this way.

I don't know about Tiger.
I can imagine a strong, beautiful woman coming in for a presentation, introducing herself as Tiger, and everyone backing away in fear...

That has rather made my day, lol.
I suppose it takes a very rare type of woman to pull off a name like Tiger, and the chances of such a woman coinciding with the name aren't high. If she were my daughter then physically beautiful I really doubt ... and while I'd hope she could be strong, it's something I struggle with myself, and whether it's nurture or nature or a combination of the two, I don't know if I'd ever produce a child who could live up to a name like Tiger.
