HelpRe: Lancelot
in reply to a message by Lissa Hannah
Yeah, it may be cool-sounding to you, but think of the person who actually has to live with it.

hmm
1)If a name is out there it doesn't make it cool, but some names which are "out there" are cool. As are some ordinary names
2) Personally, I don't think it's that hard to live with.

In reply to number two: you may not think it's hard to live with a name that isn't very common, widely known, etc., because you may not have a name like that falls into that category, or if your name does, you may not be effected by any problems it's caused (if it has caused problems). Even though my name, Lissa, isn't as nearly "out there" as other names, it does bring challenges often. It isn't fun, and it's unusualness doesn't make me feel any better or "cooler."

Kids are brutal, unfortunately, which is exactly what should limit parents when deciding on a name. Believe me, I don't think little Lancelot will appreciate his name in junior high, no matter how cool and unusual his parents thought it was.

Kids can be just as brutal on any name, attribute, mistake or absolutely anything, that's just life. Lancelot as a name could have a harder time, granted, but it was for an opinion, not an argument.
