Additionally, what name would you never give to your kid ? And why ?

    I really wanted to name my daughter Ceilidh, but my wife would not stand for it. I was even willing to compromise down to Ceili! She also objected to Cadence and Victory.

    Somehow got her to agree to Gynhwyfar and Clothilde and Yetska, though.

    If it was a girl, Elaine, but that would be weird because that is my name! 😂

    I’d never give them any names that they could be picked on for. So no unusual names such as X Æ A-12

      That’s not weird. Both my mom and me as well as a girl I help with are all Tinas (one Celestina, one Valentina, and one Christina).

        It’s interesting how Tina is a diminutive of many other names. This happens with its masculine counterpart Tino too, such as Tarantino, Costantino, and Martino. The diminutive of the name Elaine is Lanie, it’s not exactly the same but similar enough!

          It does? I’ve never seen someone called Tino before.

          I’ll say it does get confusing though. A lot of people use “Tina” (which is short for my post-adoption legal name too, though only for spelling) and so when there’s a “message for Tina” or “order up, Tina” when a food order is ready, everyone who is there stands up. Doesn’t help that not only is there a Celestina (my birth mom), a Valentina (me, hence also being “Leni” to some people), and a Christina (the sweet kid who imprinted with me, like pseudomom status), but also a Clementina (grandmother) and an Augustina (great grandmother) and it was a pain, for example, sorting through paperwork when my maternal grandfather passed.

    I think Basil is a really cute name, but I think my SO will say no. The opposite where there are five Sams, three Sara(h)s, and two Maxes (M&F) in a class of 30 is annoying though.

    I wanted to name my daughter Fenchurch, but my wife wouldn’t agree. Daughter is 16 now. Still call her Fenchurch.

    I could give you an answer now, but that answer would be obsolete by the time of filling the paperwork. Only uuidgen knows the correct answer.

    I am scared of being a mom. Both because I probably couldn’t keep up with it and because I run extra risks if I ever became pregnant. But if I for some reason became one in full, I’d name her Christina (if a girl) or the masculine equivalent if a boy. Both me and my birth mother are Tinas, her name is Celestina and my birth name before being adopted was (and still is in certain countries) Valentina, and that’s like the tiebreaker in terms of names. It so happens I’m a quasi-mother-figure (though not in a traditionally full sense) to a certain Christina ever since my last ancestor passed away.

    I will name my kid what I want to name them - part of my desires when choosing a name are to pick something they won’t hate.

    I would like to call them Ramond Luxury Yacht. But i won’t because nobody would pronounce it correctly.

    Now seriously, we deliberately chose first names for our children that would be easy to pronounce in most languages. They also got slightly more exotic second names in case they didn’t like their first names.

    I wanted to name my daughter Zelda. Mrs Pano vetoed it.

    The Z makes it sound sexy. Also Moxy got shot down.

    My wife shot down Matias.

    I’d never pick a name that uses “eigh” instead of “y” also never Keith.
